<u>Answer:</u>

The universal symbolism that has been used in the book is Mississippi. This is, therefore, the river Hunk, and Jim used to pass to the other side. Consequently, it has been used literally to mean transportation means that helped them to move down the river. It also implies freedom that the characters used in escaping even though whatever they were running from was completely different.

According to Jim, the river was a symbol of freedom because he used the river to run away from slavery and from being sold far away from his family and home.

In which line from this excerpt of John Keats's "Ode to Autumn" has the poet personified the season of autumn as a young maiden?
bekas [8.4K]
Probably the first line, "Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind..."
When I think of a "young maiden", I think of a girl with long, pretty hair. Keats describes just that in the first line. The other lines can be interpreted as anything, but aren't exactly like a young maiden.

Write two to three sentences that describe Thoreau’s viewpoint in this passage.
Deffense [45]
Thoreau's <em>overall</em> viewpoint was that it was in solitude with nature that a man could really learn to thrive. He argued that a life of luxury was an unnecessary one and that a man could easily make a living without even having to sweat if he would just strip his life of unneeded, materialistic items. I hope this helps, although I am not sure how to narrow this down seeing as your question is incomplete.

vova2212 [387]

In the article "How the Media Twists the News," Sheila Gribben Liaugminas explains that "intelligent news consumers" are those who pay attention to the ways in which media presents the news. She argues that being this intelligent consumer means that you realize that not everything you hear is valid, well-researched or unbiased. Moreover, an "intelligent citizen" employs this well-researched information to act in society. I believe that through the use of these two terms, the author makes a strong and valid call to action. She is effective when it comes to explaining that this is a vital task for all citizens. Moreover, she is explicit in how not doing so can affect our society and increase ignorance among the public.
