A.seek his or her own happiness.


In the excerpt the speaker is talking about how she is not a servant, tool, bandage or sacrifice for anyone else. She is not the one to provide anyone happiness especially at the cost of her own. We see this focus on the speaker's happiness in the last line of the excerpt when it says "This miracle of me is mine to own an keep" In this line the speaker takes responsibility for her own happiness, and in turn shows that happiness is the responsibility of each individual.

meriva

Answer:

Political revolt is a relevant topic today because it is very realistic, which makes readers identify with the narrative created in the stories.

Analyze the elements of modernist poetry in Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "The Fish."
iVinArrow [24]

In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:

its pattern of darker brown

was like wallpaper:

shapes like full-blown roses

stained and lost through age.

Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:

still crimped from the strain and snap

She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:

frayed and wavering,

a five-haired beard of wisdom

trailing from his aching jaw.

I stared and stared

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.
Delvig [45]

The answer is:

Machiavelli forces readers to carefully consider the meanings of the words merciful and mercy.

In the passage from "The Prince," the author Niccolò Machiavelli mentions the words mercy and merciful intending to make readers contemplate their meanings with special circumspection. Thus, <em>mercy </em>is compassion towards somebody one can hurt or punish, and <em>merciful </em>means benevolent. In that respect, Machiavelli suggests that an unsympathetic ruler can preserve power rather than a compassionate one.
