"The Iron Worm squeaks, groans, and clanks—black tankers, rust-colored boxcars, and gray hoppers winding north on a single track that parallels the Pacific coast."
"Enrique's palms burn when he holds on to the hopper. He risks riding no-hands. Finally, he strips off his shirt and sits on it."
"Enrique's head throbs. The sun reflects off the metal. It stings his eyes, and his skin tingles. It drains the little energy he has left."

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The oxymorons in Romeo’s dialogue emphasize his confusion about Benvolio’s advice.

Explanation:

An oxymoron is a figure of speech where two opposite words are used together to generate a third concept. Expressions like "O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!" shows how Romeo hopes that Benvolio would change his mind of preferring being a fighter instead of a lover.

Complete the sentences by selecting the correct homophones. As Pete and Malia headed out the door on way to the convention, they
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

As Pete and Malia headed out the door on <u>their</u> way to the convention, they almost forgot the money they would need to get in <u>there</u>.

They were very excited to <u>buy</u> the latest edition of their favorite comic book <u>by</u> their favorite author.

Explanation:

Homophones are words that are pronounced the same way but have different meanings (and sometimes spelling).

In the first sentence, there are two homophones:<em> their </em>and<em> there.</em><em> </em><em>Their</em> is a word used to describe that something <em>belongs to them</em> (Pete and Malia's way - their way). <em>There</em> is the opposite of <em>here</em> and means <em>at that place </em>(get into the convention - get in there).

The second pair of homophones is <em>buy</em> and<em> by</em>. <em>To buy</em> is a verb that means <em>to purchase</em> something. <em>By</em> is a preposition used to state who is performing a certain action (a comic book by their favorite author - their favorite author wrote the book they are buying).

Why does the poet believe that "Whole libraries that no one/got around to writing" is "More disturbing than book ashes?"
Drupady [299]
In the poem, Burning a Book, by William Stafford, is a poem describing a burning book, and then going to more dept of what it means. In the poem Stafford says, "More disturbing than book ashes are whole libraries that no one got around to writing." The meaning of this is that burning books is not as terrible as not writing them at all. Stafford is trying to say that if you have an idea for a book and you do not write the book, or start it, but never finish, then that is worse then burning a book that's already written. He also says , "If a book isn't written, no one needs to burn it---- ignorance can dance in the absence of fire." This is meaning that if you do not write book then it can not be burned, so instead of fire burning it, the lack of knowledge is burning the unwritten book. Do you agree with Stafford?
