The character of Editha is a foil, developed to portray the fickleness of the arguments that support war. The author ironically reveals how Editha repeats the passages from newspapers and magazines supporting the need to go to war. But the author takes a step further to give us a view of Editha’s perception when she says, "But now it doesn't matter about the how or why. Since the war has come, all that is gone. There are no two sides any more. There is nothing now but our country." Finally, toward the end of the story, Mrs. Gearson sarcastically says, "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," a commentary by the author to show the ignorance of people who idealize war.

Consider Dickinson’s poems "I Started Early—Took My Dog" and “Apparently with No Surprise.” Which topic do the two poems share?
Artyom0805 [142]

Both poems show the intensity of the forces of nature.

This can be seen because:

  • In "I Started Early—Took My Dog," the author shows the liveliness and influence of the sea. She does it as a metaphor for what a man would be able to do with her life.
  • In "Apparently with No Surprise," the author shows how frost is capable of killing a flower, without any mercy. She uses it to make a metaphor about the end of life.

Both poems portray the author's very deep thoughts, she had much stronger thoughts about life, death, and passions and for this reason used the force of nature to represent these thoughts.

Furthermore, it is necessary to emphasize that the topic of a poem is one of the subjects that the poem addresses.

15. How does this final flashback represent the convergence of plotlines in climax? 16. What is the lowest point of the sons' re
elena55 [62]

Answer and Explanation:

This final flashback represent the convergence of plotlines in climax because the background plot once presented shows why in present day plot Biff in which Willy was said to act the way they do to each other.

The lowest point of the sons’ relationship with their father occured when they try to ditched Willy at the restaurant to go with the women in which Happy fails to acknowledge that Willy is his father

The seeds and Willy’s “planting” a “garden” represent Willy’s attempt to blindly form his legacy in which the garden is supposed to “provide” in a sense. Leave them cared for.

His family is more his legacy.

Planting represents either Biff’s growth or leaving him something in order for him to succeed.

The throwback to the trees he glorified at the beginning of the play because he was trying to get his family back to a happier time they were before.

The idea that the garden will produce either something real or material makes Willy feel like he actually gave them something.

It also is almost final act where the audience sees him working with his hands.

What occurs in the absolute moment of climax that determines this play will be a tragedy was the explosive argument that happened between the Lomans Linda calls for Willy and the boys sit up…. In which everybody was said to have this feeling Biff Cries to Willy and Willy thinks they hace finally got the understanding.

The guaranteed, “gilt-edged” proposition to which Willy refers to Willyś desire to take his own life in order for him to gain the life insurance money.

The plot point that ends Act II and thrusts us into the Requiem was Willyś death.

What we realize is the irony of the title of the play was the duality of the salesman which dead represent the death of the American Dream in which the dream is the death of you.

Irony- Willy wasn't a great salesman and Biffś dream of becoming a salesman died at the end just like Willy did He wasn't a salesman

Which phrase from the sentence best reveals the meaning of the word vindicated?
Art [367]

The word vindicated, which comes from the Latin word vindicatus, originally meant "to avenge or revenge" but its meaning soon shifted to "clear from censure or doubt, by means of demonstration." When you are vindicated, your name is cleared. You might also prove that you're right about something.
