I already answered the question but here it is again:

The correct answer is B. to keep readers from realizing at the start that no humans are present.

Indeed, Bradbury’s story is intended to warn readers that the inevitable consequence of an all-out nuclear war is the extinction of the human race. His story is inspired by the much earlier poem from American poetess Sarah Teasdale, who wrote the poem of the same title in the aftermath of World War I, which until then had been the most devastating conflict in the history of the world at that time. Since the house is a mechanical entity; it stresses the fact that it was built by humans but since no humans are present anymore, their absence is all the more noticed and the, dramatic impact for readers is stronger and everlasting.

2. What form of writing is "Blacicans" in​
NeX [460]

Answer:

The claim in ‘Blaxicans’ by Richard Rodriguez is that a ethnic title such as Mexican, Chinese, etc, is purely a title given to by others and changes routinely; however, according to Rodrigues, culture plays a bigger role on your own personal identity than ethnicity or race.  On line 213 he states, “ I come to you as a man of many cultures. I come to you as Chinese.” This is not supposed to show an exaggeration but instead he is following the certain demands that it takes to be considered Chinese in the regards of the title or “race.” Rodriguez explains how he does live in a place surrounded by others who distinguish themselves as Chinese, how he eats food, the described culture, and even lives in a proclaimed Chinese city. Therefore it would be proper for him to self-title himself as Chinese. Rodriguez also mentions how everyone has the choice to actually choose their ethnicity based off of how they act, the things they value and like to do. He also talks about label and how effective they really are when it comes to identifying a certain group of people in society.

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
Fynjy0 [20]
I think the answer is B. Because there is a period before the sentence: "The cookies were not eaten by the children" choice B contains the misplaced modifier. Unless that was a typo.
Hope this helps!:)

Dante both uses and departs from the epic tradition. In a paragraph, give at least one example of each kind and explain why he u
katrin [286]

Hm, this is a tough one. If you <em>use</em> this make sure to <u>rearrange</u> some of the sections and add in some of <em>your own words</em>, ok?


   Dante Alighieri was a very <em>untraditional</em> writer, for unlike most other writers he sometimes followed the traditions yet he wasn't afraid to deviate and modify the old epic traditions. Most epics tell the adventures of a hero of old who vanquished evil, and to be honest Dante does recount a hero's journey. There is a major difference though between his and traditions though, because he varies this tradition by making himself the <u>theme/hero/subject/ect</u> of the epic called the Divine Comedy.

    Epic poets were traditionally pagan and so they would often call on the Muses, known as patron goddesses of the arts, for their inspirations and to help guide their poems. Unlike them Dante was a Christian, and he refused to use the pagan gods <em>"gods"</em> in this epic. Instead he utilizes the Latin poet Virgil whom he calls <em>"my mentor"</em> and Dante's childhood hero Bice Portinari, whom he gave the name Beatrice as guides for the main character throughout the story.

    Epics traditionally begin in "media res" which is Latin for "in the middle." Dante follows this tradition, although it's in his own unique way, by beginning the Divine Comedy <em>"halfway through the journey we are living,"</em> or in other words <em>"in the middle of his life"</em>.

    Many of the epic poems of this time period state the theme of the poem at the very beginning. Likewise, Dante begins to describes in the first stanzas of his poem his fear and disquiet but then he offers a vision of hope to the readers. He says that <em>"to describe the good discovered there / I here will tell the other things I saw"</em>.

<h3><em>If</em> you have anymore <u><em>questions</em></u> please be sure to ask and/or send me <em>a </em>friend request. I'm <em>always up for</em> a <em>challenge</em>. </h3><h2><em>Thanks!</em></h2>
