Free verse sounds more conversational, like people talking. Free verse creates a more American style. Free verse is less formal. Free verse conveys whitman's ideas about individualism, life, death, or the american landscape.

<h2>Answer: D (or A, but I believe it's D)</h2>

                                                 Explanations

"A. A falling apple inspired Newton to think about gravity." Yes this is true, but instead of only thinking about it, he expressed his law of universal gravitation, etc. I understand how this could be the answer though. :>

"B. Gravity is when objects are pulled to the Earth." This is true aswell, but the text gives off more information than just what Gravity is. Newton is a big part of the text. Mostly the main character but narrating in third person.

"C. Newton wrote a series of books called Principia." Newton did this, but this isn't the main idea. If it was, the text would've explained more about it. This is more of a detail or maybe key detail.

"D. Newton discovers gravity.' I choose this as the correct answer because, the text talks about Newton discovering gravity, and when using the word discover in this, it's also like saying he discovered gravity from a falling apple, and contemplated about gravity.

Andrei [34K]
Assonance takes place when two or more words close to one another repeat the same vowel sound but start with different consonant sounds.

Assonance is uses here because the words repeat the same vowel sounds but the words don't start with the same consonant.

Repitition of the same consonant sounds at the beginning of a group of words is alliteration.

In at least 150 words, explain which central idea of Friedan's "The Problem that Has No Name" is also addressed in Plath's "Mirr
skad [1K]

Friedan describes the period of the 50s in which the educational model, disseminated after the Second World War, was aimed at women deciding to choose the option of returning home, after having conquered the right to vote and education and of having agreed to a job. The mystical expression of femininity, according to its author, is used to describe a conglomeration of traditional discourses and assumptions about femininity that hinder intellectual commitment and the active participation of women in their society. Without economic independence, the way of life of the housewife in this new technological home, produces loneliness, depression and other medical cadres qualified as "typically female". Friedan analyzes the economic system in which women are sold an identity consistent with the family unit of consumption in which the family has been transformed.

What social commentary does Mark Twain make in “The £1,000,000 Bank-Note”? Include examples from the text to support your answer
sertanlavr [38]
In “The £1,000,000 Bank-Note,” Twain uses satire to highlight the power of money and its influence on the behavior of people from all classes of nineteenth-century English society. The earliest examples of satire in the text are when Henry meets the owners of the eating house and the tailor shop. Both owners regard Henry as an upper-class gentleman and allow him to make purchases on credit based on his perceived status. In fact, when Henry warns the proprietor of the tailor shop that he may have to wait an indefinite amount of time for his dues to be paid, the proprietor doesn’t seem concerned at all. He says, “Indefinitely! It’s a weak word, sir, a weak word. Eternally—that’s the word, sir.” The proprietor’s use of the word eternallystresses his willingness to allow Henry to make purchases on credit. Other shop owners also accept that Henry is rich, providing him with both necessities and luxuries on credit alone. If any of the proprietors had known about Henry’s true financial condition, they wouldn’t have allowed him any amount of credit; however, they still gave him whatever he wanted or needed because they believed his million-pound note meant he was someone of class and wealth.
Twain further satirizes the importance the English placed on money in the nineteenth century when he shows how much respect Henry has garnered across London. When Henry hears about his friend Lloyd’s financial troubles, he tells Lloyd to use the reputation of Henry’s name to help sell Lloyd’s mine. Henry says, “I know all about that mine, of course; I know its immense value, and can swear to it if anybody wishes it. You shall sell out inside of the fortnight for three million cash, using my name freely, and we'll divide, share and share alike.” Less than a day later, all of London is talking about the mine that Henry is vouching for. Finally, “when the month was up at last,” the mine was purchased, and Henry and Lloyd had a million dollars each. Because Lloyd had used Henry’s name to sell the mine, no one questioned that the mine was valuable. Henry’s reputation is so secure at this point in the story that he now has the power to actually affect London society. Although he started out poor and hungry, Henry has not only been able to gain the appearance of wealth and status by simply showing his million-pound note, but he’s also been able to achieve some amount of real power. Twain’s satire shows how ridiculous and dangerous it can be to trust someone based solely on money—or, in this case, on the appearance of having money. Instead of judging Henry on real qualities, such as kindness, honesty, or wisdom, London society chooses to judge him based on what they think he has: money and, subsequently, class.
