What theme is common to the two excerpts below? 1.. . . His theory of running until he reached camp and the boys had one flaw in it: he lacked the endurance. Several times he stumbled, and finally he tottered, crumpled up, and fell. When he tried to rise, he failed. He must sit and rest, he decided, and next time he would merely walk and keep on going. As he sat and regained his breath, he noted that he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He was not shivering, and it even seemed that a warm glow had come to his chest and trunk. And yet, when he touched his nose or cheeks, there was no sensation. Running would not thaw them out. Nor would it thaw out his hands and feet. Then the thought came to him that the frozen portions of his body must be extending. He tried to keep this thought down, to forget it, to think of something else; he was aware of the panicky feeling that it caused, and he was afraid of the panic. But the thought asserted itself, and persisted, until it produced a vision of his body totally frozen.
(Jack London, To Build a Fire)

2.Presently the boat also passed to the left of the correspondent with the captain clinging with one hand to the keel. He would have appeared like a man raising himself to look over a board fence, if it were not for the extraordinary gymnastics of the boat. The correspondent marvelled that the captain could still hold to it.

They passed on, nearer to shore—the oiler, the cook, the captain—and following them went the water-jar, bouncing gayly over the seas.
The correspondent remained in the grip of this strange new enemy—a current. The shore, with its white slope of sand and its green bluff, topped with little silent cottages, was spread like a picture before him. It was very near to him then, but he was impressed as one who in a gallery looks at a scene from Brittany or Algiers.

He thought: "I am going to drown? Can it be possible? Can it be possible? Can it be possible?" Perhaps an individual must consider his own death to be the final phenomenon of nature."
(Stephen Crane, The Open Boat)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Reading both excerpts, I would say that the theme would be "Humanity's Helplessness Against Nature". Let's look at the first excerpt. To summarize, the man is running through barren snow in order to reach a fire. He runs through the cold, through the blizzard desperately, believing he can make it there. Yet, as his knees cave and the feeling in his body leaves him, he is left to die a cold, icy death. The excerpt showcases the man's inability to combat the cold temperatures of nature, his inability to overcome nature and survive. To tie it into the next excerpt, let's summarize that as well. The crew were trying to sail to the shore, their captain nearly fallen to the seas. As they near, the shore violently attacks their ship. The captain considers if he will drown, helpless against the waves of the great ocean. The excerpt even says that death is the final phenomenon of nature, heavily implying that nature has control of humanity's life and its death.

Which three of these resources can be used to find the meanings of unfamiliar words?a) dictionary

e) newspaper

Help me please

Answers

Dictionary, glossary and thesaurus can be used to find the meanings of unfamiliar words. Correct option is a, b, and c.

a) Dictionary: A dictionary provides definitions, pronunciations, and often usage examples of words, making it an essential tool for finding the meanings of unfamiliar words.

b) Glossary: A glossary is a specialized list of terms and their definitions, typically found at the end of a book or document. It is useful for understanding the specific vocabulary used in that particular context.

c) Thesaurus: While a thesaurus does not provide direct meanings of words, it offers synonyms and antonyms, which can be valuable for understanding a word's nuances and finding alternative words with similar or opposite meanings.

The other two options, "d) phone book" and "e) newspaper," are not typically used for finding the meanings of unfamiliar words. A phone book lists phone numbers and addresses of individuals and businesses, while a newspaper primarily provides news and information rather than word definitions.

Read the following poem by Emily Dickinson.Hope is the thing with feathers,
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words, and never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard, and sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land
and on the strangest sea,
Yet, never in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

What is the tone of this poem?

Answers

Answer:

Positive and sensitive.

Explanation:

Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope is the thing with feathers" is a poem where she personifies hope as a "bird' that perches in the soul of an individual. Whatever may be the condition of a person, hope is always there in us, singing "tunes without the words, and never stopping at all". Even during strong gales, hope is there silently giving us confidence and urging us to be hopeful for better things. When things get hard and life is chaotic, hope relentlessly urges us to go on living, giving us "hope" within all the chaos and mayhem.

Emily ends the poem by saying that even during immense times of extremities, hope is there, never asking anything of her. It silently but relentlessly gives her a positive feeling about the days to come. "Hope" unselfishly stayed with her all through the good and bad times.

Answer:

calm, relaxed

Explanation:

nothing in this poem represents anger, sadism, or depression. its simply about a bird. and the words to describe it. giving out a calm and relaxing feeling, hence the tone.

When analyzing an argument, which elements should you focus on most? Select three options.counterclaim
claim
reasons
dissent
evidence

Answers

claim, reasons, and evidence

The correct 3 answer are: Claim, Reasons, and Evidence.

Analyzing the Claim is the most important element about the use language in this way is to make claims (true or false) about some state of affairs in the world. One argument is as valid argument only if some of the propositions (the claims) are asserted as supporting the truth of another of the propositions (the conclusion). Those supporting arguments can only be valid if they follow a reasonable structure, with facts and evidences. Because those are the only tools we have to access and dialogue about the reality that surrounds us.

In a business letter or any formal letter you will traditionally use the salutation of.

A. Dear Senator Smith,

This is only slightly different from Dear Senator Smith - however the comma is an important element grammatically that should be included in a formal letter.

Unlike a personal or informal letter, which calls for a comma, a colon is used after the salutation when writing a formal business letter. Never use a semi-colon, em dash, or ellipsis.
