This is how Marguerite finally gets a job on the streetcars:

Marguerite does <u>not accept rejection.</u> She insists and persists. At first, the streetcar company tells her to go away because of her skin color. However, she keeps on coming back until they finally allow her to fill in an application.

After taking some tests, she finally becomes the<u> first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco</u>.

  • This question is about <u>Marguerite Ann Johnson</u>, also (and better) known as Maya Angelou.
  • Maya was determined to get a job as a streetcar conductor in San Francisco.
  • Her mother told her the company would never hire Maya because of her skin color.
  • At first, it seemed that her mother was right. Maya was indeed rejected for being black.
  • However, she insisted and persisted. She kept on coming back to the company.
  • They finally gave her a chance and, after passing the tests, Maya became the <u>first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco.</u>

kogti [31]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Four lines chosen from the poem are :

Fair as a star, when only one

Is shining in the sky.

In the third line of this stanza, simile has been used because a comparison has been made in the poem using the word "as". This helps to understand the meaning that the poet is trying to make with more impact and gives them an example.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is about Gilgamesh, who is a
Andrew [12]

Answer:

"An unstable compound of two parts god and one part man, Gilgamesh suffers most from immoderation. He is the greatest of all men, and both his virtues and his flaws are outsized. He is the fiercest of warriors and the most ambitious of builders. Yet until Enkidu, his near equal, arrives to serve as a counterweight to Gilgamesh’s restless energies, he exhausts his subjects with ceaseless battle, forced labor, and arbitrary exercises of power. Beautiful to behold, Gilgamesh selfishly indulges his appetites, raping whatever woman he desires, whether she is the wife of a warrior or the daughter of a noble—or a bride on her wedding night. Enkidu’s friendship calms and focuses him. When Enkidu dies, Gilgamesh grieves deeply and is horrified by the prospect of his own death. Abruptly abandoning glory, wealth, and power, all of which are worldly aspirations that he as king had once epitomized, he begins a quest to learn the secret of eternal life. What he finds instead is the wisdom to strike harmony with his divine and mortal attributes. Reconciled at last to his mortality, Gilgamesh resumes his proper place in the world and becomes a better king." -Sparknotes: The Epic of Gilgamesh
