The poet's use of quotation marks and dramatic shift in word choice in this excerpt from "Attack the Water" suggest that these words are coming from another source, such as the news.

This accounts for the change in word choice, as the news, would have been written or spoken by someone else. Also, adding this to the poem helps describe the situation in Vietnam from an outside standpoint.

Answer:

These words are coming from another source, such as the news.

Explanation:

Quotation marks are used for several purposes, but one of the most important ones is signalling the fact that a certain phrase is being taken from a different source. This is done in order to show that the information is not original, but also that it might not necessarily reflect the thoughts of the speaker. In this case, the poet uses quotation marks in order to show that the words come from another source, such as the news.

Now that you’ve read act I, scene I, of Shakespeare’s play Richard III, write an objective summary of the events in this scene.
grigory [225]

Richard, the duke of Gloucester, speaks in a monologue addressed to himself and to the audience. After a lengthy civil war, he says, peace at last has returned to the royal house of England. Richard says that his older brother, King Edward IV, now sits on the throne, and everyone around Richard is involved in a great celebration. But Richard himself will not join in the festivities. He complains that he was born deformed and ugly, and bitterly laments his bad luck. He vows to make everybody around him miserable as well. Moreover, Richard says, he is power-hungry, and seeks to gain control over the entire court. He implies that his ultimate goal is to make himself king.

Working toward this goal, Richard has set in motion various schemes against the other noblemen of the court. The first victim is Richard’s own brother, Clarence. Richard and Clarence are the two younger brothers of the current king, Edward IV, who is very ill and highly suggestible at the moment. Richard says that he has planted rumors to make Edward suspicious of Clarence.

Clarence himself now enters, under armed guard. Richard’s rumor-planting has worked, and Clarence is being led to the Tower of London, where English political prisoners were traditionally imprisoned and often executed. Richard, pretending to be very sad to see Clarence made a prisoner, suggests to Clarence that King Edward must have been influenced by his wife, Queen Elizabeth, or by his mistress, Lady Shore, to become suspicious of Clarence. Richard promises that he will try to have Clarence set free. But after Clarence is led offstage toward the Tower, Richard gleefully says to himself that he will make sure Clarence never returns.

1. Select the theme that would be expressed best in the story idea below.
Dimas [21]

Some individuals miss a great deal in life because they are afraid to try new things.

The camping trip is new to the city boys since it is their first trip. Also, since the boys are described as being from the city, we know that being outside in the wilderness could also be new. One of the boys chooses not to take part in any of the typical camping activities. This shows that he is afraid to try something new and therefore misses out.

Some individuals get into a lot of trouble because they try too many new things.

This story idea deals with Heather doing something that could have been a good idea, but because of the weather, it turned out to be bad. We do not see any evidence that she's afraid to try something new, that she has a childlike side to her personality, or that adults are not taking young people seriously.
