Answer: the story is funny because it says the chair is stuck to the persons backside at the end. It leaves suspense and humor.
Explanation:
I took the test.
Answer:
The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".
It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.
It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.
The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.
Hey MatloccerSha,
I would have to say that the answer is answer choice 2, because 1 and 3 simply don't cut it when defining a thesis statement. For the first choice, a thesis statement and research for it should be most often focused on one topic. For the third choice, a thesis is used all throughout the process of creating of an essay. A proper thesis statement should do a good job of summarizing what your essay is about. Hope this helped.
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
