Winter is coming; I need a new coat.
Winter is coming, so I need a new coat.
Because winter is coming, I need a new coat.
The sentence structure of the original sentence is wrong because it is a run on sentence. The sentence has two complete thoughts/ideas without the proper punctuation between them. The first complete thought is "Winter is coming". The second complete thought is "I need a new coat." These need to either be joined with a semicolon or a comma and conjunction. The first answer uses the semicolon to join the two complete ideas into a compound sentence. The second correct answer uses a comma and conjunction, so, to join the two complete ideas. The last correct answer creates a dependent clause by beginning the sentence with "because". Then the comma shows the separation between the dependent clause and the independent clause.
<span>“How horrible it would be . . . if she were condemned to be the plain, shy Millicent of a few years back.” - Direct characterization. The speaker explicitly says that Milicent now isn't plain and shy, and that would be a condemnation to her.
</span><span>“Betsy Johnson, the vivacious blonde secretary of the sorority” - Direct characterization. We can see Betsy and we get some information about her character (vivacious).
</span><span>“Walking beside Louise on the way to the drugstore, Millicent felt a surge of pride.” - Indirect characterization. The speaker doesn't say that Milicent is this or that kind of person. He/she just puts her in a context, commenting on her current feelings and thus allowing the reader to make a vague conclusion about her character.
</span><span>“Bev was suddenly there in the doorway. ‘Wipe that smile off your face,’ she commanded.” - Indirect characterization. Again, the speaker here describes this character's action, rather than features and character traits.</span>
Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who lived during Colonial America. Her poems reflected elements of her personal life. In this poem, her house has burned and she has lost all of her possessions. Read the last two stanzas (lines 43-54). How do these lines reflect aspects of her Puritan beliefs?
A) She relies on her own work ethic to build her another house.
B) She is so distraught that she wishes she had died in the fire.
C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.
D) She prays for an architect from town to come build her a new home.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.
Explanation:
In the last two stanzas of her poem "Verses upon the Burning of our House, July 10th, 1666", author Anne Bradstreet calls God the mighty Architect. She does not seem to repine over the house she has lost to the fire. Quite the contrary, she is faithful to the belief that her permanent home is the spiritual one waiting for her in heaven. That is a reflection of her Puritan beliefs. This world is nothing but a passageway for the next and most important one. She does not need to suffer over material losses because what truly matters is the spirit. As she says in the last line of the poem, "My hope and treasure lies above."
Answer:
constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage.
Explanation:
In her “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage”, Carrie Chapman Catt uses the rhetorical device of kairos by constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage. This can be seen in the beginning of her speech when she mentions "Three distinct causes made it inevitable."
As kairos as a literary device means using balance and decorum in the speech/writing, Carrie makes sure that her speech contain step by step explanation for every objective. She then finally comes to the end of her speech by projecting the listeners and stakeholders of their part in the bringing a change.
Carrie uses the opportunity of kairos to direct her speech to the listeners and statesmen by asking them whether to support women's suffrage or not. This can be seen in the last lines of her speech "Woman suffrage is coming -- you know it. Will you, Honorable Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, help or hinder it?"
They give the piece a dreary, melancholy tone.
The imagery of these quotes are very dark and gloomy. They change the author's tone into a more dreary, melancholy tone.
