Answer:
II. With the smallest of hints, a fragile mind can deceive a person.
IV. A child's amusement can have a negative effect on others.
Explanation:
The story, "The Open Window" tells of Vera the niece of Mrs. Sappleton who was obsessed with lying and found pleasure from doing this. She told a false story of the death of Mr. Sappleton and his three in-laws to Mr. Framton who came visiting and who had a fragile mind because of the nervous disorder he suffered. On seeing the supposedly dead people coming back from the view offered by the open window, he fled from the house.
The story shows that what seems to be fun for children might have bad effects on others seeing that this man was not in a healthy mental state. It also shows that a fragile mind can deceive a person, because Mr. Frampton was easily carried away with Vera's lies because of his nervous breakdown.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
"The Death of a Soldier" is a poem written by Wallace Stevens. The poem metamorphically describes the death of a soldier to spring. Just like in every spring, leaves are expected to fall, the death of soldiers is expected in the wars. The theme that the death of a soldier is seen as unavoidable and a common happening is illustrated in the poem.
The line or verse that supports this theme is Line 1, <em>"Life contracts and death is expected." </em>The very first line of the poem illustrates the theme that <em>death is expected </em>in the war.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Most Likely because this embodies what manifest destiny is.
Rabindranath Tagore works with symbolism through out the entirety of his poem, "We Both Live in the Same Village". He describes that feelings that a common villager has for Ranjana, by symbolizing them with depictions of the natural world.
For example, when "The yellow birds sing on their tree", the villager experiences happiness. When he writes that "her pair of pet lambs come to graze near the shade of our garden", he is describing how much pride and joy the villager has to be connected in some way to Ranjana.
Tagore also uses the symbolism to explain how these two people inhabit the same city, and how that proximity fuels the love of the villager for the girl. "The stars that smile on their cottage send us the same twinkling look." This exemplifies how both individuals are proximate to each other, the stars are looking at them at the same time because they live in the same village.
