In the poem "<em>The Second Coming</em>"  written by William Yeats, the author explores Anarchy and chaotic scenarios where things fall apart and order can only be reestablished by the return of <em>Jesus Christ</em> on earth.

When the author uses the phrase "<em>The ceremony of innocence is drowned</em>" he refers to a set of circumstances of violence, brutality and horror caused by what he calls "<em>a loose blood dimmed tide</em>" which suffocates purity and freshness, describing a cataclysm; worthy of resemblance to biblical passages of events involving destruction on a catastrophic scale such as Noah’s flood, or the total and final destruction of the world, described in the book of Revelation as "<em>The Apocalypse</em>".

The poem seems to be the author's emotional release after the presumable trauma of <em>World War I</em> around that time in Europe, since it was written in 1919.

It's an evident appeal to a Christian concept in seek of spiritual refreshment as a cathartic method to purge his likely repressed emotions in the post-war environment.

Hello, the article was not included and I could not get it online. But to help you answer this question, you need to know what a thesis is:

  • A thesis is an arguable statement made by the author of a text, that will be proved by pieces of evidence in the latter part of the literary work.

A thesis statement, usually located at the introductory part of a text expresses the main point of argument that the author puts forward.

In the course of the discussion, the author will use pieces of evidence, examples, facts, and statistics to back up this claim.

So, to identify the thesis of this section, identify an arguable point made by the author of the text. Then, look for experiences, examples, or facts that he uses to support this point.

A famous singer recently came to give a talk to the students at your school about her life and work. Your head teacher has asked
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no further specific references, we can comment on the following.

This is my report.

It is always interesting to know more details about the life of famous people. In this case, this female singer that gave a lecture about the life of a musician was interesting, although she talked in general terms. I think it would have been more interesting if she could have talked about the details of the music business for new musicians or the way she had to overcome adversities to become a popular artist.

I say this because there are many texts and references on the internet about the music business. However, there is such little information about the specifics, the details. And popular artists like her could be able to share good information with students about the details of the music business.

My suggestion is that we could invite these famous people but we should ask them to center their speech on specific issues so the talk could be useful. If they talk about general issues or about their lives, many books and pages already include their bios and general information.

We, as students, need more focused topics, that only listen to general information or the artist's public life that is already known.

arlik [135]

Answer:

d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.

The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.

An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.
