In this particular excerpt, what is highlighted is the pivotal moment when hopeless romantic Janie asserts herself. For the longest time she thought Joe would be good for her, and that she was in love with him. In truth, Janie is in love with the idea of being in love. This delusion impeded her realization that Joe is ultimately just a selfish man who cared for no one but himself.

1. (a) In "Avarice," the speaker notes four different items "she" keeps.

4vir4ik [10]

All three poems are about money.

Explanation:

1. In Avarice, line 1 opens with a direct address to a personified “Money,” treating money as if it were a living thing, which, as the rest of the poem will show, in a way it is. Human beings have almost brought money to life by worshipping it instead of God. The poem is about greed and the poet says money is got from dirty mines.

2. In 'The Good Life' the poet found peace in being hungry all the time, This is very strange. The poet compares money to a lover who went to get milk and never returned. She says her money simple vanished.

3. In 'Money', the poet says what money means to people. Money not only helps people to survive but it is considered as an addiction.

tatiyna

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from Dispatches.

By autumn, what had begun as an adventurous expedition had turned into an exhausting, indecisive war of attrition in which we fought for no cause other than our own survival.

Which statement best explains the paradox in the excerpt?

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

b. it is unusual that soldiers should ever be forced to fight merely to survive.

c. it is surprising that the expedition turned out to be so exhausting and difficult.

d. it is unfortunate that the soldiers did not have the easy time they had anticipated.

Answer:

The statement which best explains the paradox in the excerpt is:

a. it is odd that war should ever be viewed as an adventurous expedition.

Explanation:

A paradox can be defined as a statement that at first may seem to contradict itself or simply to be absurd. We all know how horrific war is. Battles involve suffering, pain, trauma, killing/dying, or becoming forever disabled. For that reason, it seems absurd that someone would describe war as "an adventurous expedition." An adventure is often an activity seen as both exciting and dangerous. However, it is not fatal. We do not expect to go on an adventure and die.
