Of their married felicity but little is known, perhaps for the reason that Tennessee, then living with his partner, one day took

Svet_ta [14]

The themes of friendship and loyalty are developed in the first excerpt from Bret Harte's "Tennessee's Partner" by suggesting three infidelities, since the character Tennessee courted his Partner's wife, and the bride accepted him, but later on she abandoned him and went out with another man. The excerpt also suggests a strong affection and loyalty from Tennessee's Partner towards Tennessee, even though he has stolen his wife. The second excerpt likewise reflects Tennessee's Partner's unconditional affection and admiration for Tennessee, even after his death. The character's delirium is making him seeing his beloved friend, whom he fondly calls "old girl", coming his way. He struggles to accomplish his goal of putting him (his dead body) in the cart.

Answer:

4. the uninterrupted action mirrors how the orders will be carried out when the time comes.

Explanation:

From the excerpt above, one can read that Hemingway makes use of the phrase "when it will start." The pronoun "it" refers to a particular specific event that is of essential importantance and needs to be efficiently carried out as early as possible. The long sentence stricture in which the military action would take to set up for the event best reflects the style of "The uninterrupted action mirrors how the orders will be carried out when the time comes."

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.

Drag each tile to the correct box.

Tema [17]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question, with the underline words.

Match the underlined word in each verse to its meaning in the context of the poem.

the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

a silly or foolish person

meaning, weight, or significance

reward

a small stream

1. "In which the <u>burthen </u>of the mystery, / In which the heavy and the weary weight of all this unintelligible world, / Is lightened:" (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

2. "Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / Have followed; for such

loss, I would believe, / Abundant <u>recompence</u>" (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

3. "Hold offl unhand me, grey-beard <u>loon</u>!" (from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

4. "nor yet beside the <u>rill</u>, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;" (from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray)

5. "Where was heard the mingled measure. From the fountain and the caves." (from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Answer:

burthen - meaning, weight, or significance

recompence - reward

loon - a silly of foolish person

rill - a small stream

measure - the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

Explanation:

When we read the word burthen, we notice it looks and sounds similar to "burden". That's because burthen is an archaic spelling of "burden". A burden refers to something heavy, difficult to carry around. Thus, burthen means "weight"

Recompence, nowadays more commonly spelled "recompense", is a synonym for reward.

Add an extra -y to loon, and you'll get loony. That can help you guess what it means, even if not precisely: a silly, foolish person, someone who does not see things in an ordinary manner.

Even though it is not a usual word, rill is the same as a small stream or brook.

Last but not least, measure refers to the rhythm of a poem or a piece of music. Just like the words above, it is not commonly used nowadays. We tend to use the words "beat" or "rhythm" in this case.
