Explanatin:

The Sun is shining, shining down  

On all the things that Summer brings  

When up ahead it sees a light  

A light that says that Fall is near  

The Sun shines brighter and brighter still  

To tell the Clouds to rain on down  

To tell the Clouds to 'drip' 'drip' 'drip'  

To tell the Clouds that Fall is near  

The Clouds soar over everything  

To tell the Wind that Fall is coming  

To tell the Wind to get prepared  

That Fall is near, Summer is ending  

The Wind whispers through the Trees  

To tell them it’s time to drop their leaves  

To tell the Leaves to twist and turn  

Because Fall is near, and Summer is going  

The leaves go spiraling, dancing below  

To tell the Stream to hasten its flow  

To tell it to fill the dried up Ground  

And pass on the news that Fall is near  

The Stream goes rushing over and under  

To tell the Bears to get ready to slumber  

To tell the Bears to find a haven  

Because Fall is near and Summer is taken  

The Bears go lumbering all around  

And call to the Birds to fly southbound  

To go to a place where warm winds blow  

Because Summer is going, and Fall is near  

The Tanagers twitter and tweet and soar  

To tell the Earth that Fall is here  

I hope this helps! Can I have Brainliest? :)

Choose whether to use a colon or a semicolon in this sentence!
____ [38]

This is a tricky question, especially because we are not offered a context for the sentences. But, in my interpretation, the best option would be a colon.

A semicolon connects independent sentences - it has other uses, this is just one of them. That means that, in this case, both sentences should present a complete meaning in themselves. One should not need the other to make sense. However, the first sentence, on its own, is a bit lacking, especially because we do not have an object completing the verb "beat" at the end.

A colon introduces a sentence that is explaining, adding meaning, to the one before it. That seems to be what happens in this case. Why would no lunch beat? Because we had the best pizza in the whole world. The meaning of the first sentence is now complete.

Metaphors in of mice and men
nasty-shy [4]
CANDY’S DOG: ‘A dragfooted sheepdog, gray of muzzle, and with pale, blind old eyes’, Candy’s dog is a far cry from his sheepherding days. Carlson says to Candy, in regard to the dog: ‘Got no teeth, he’s all stiff with rheumatism. He ain’t no good to you, Candy. An’ he ain’t no good to himself. Why’n’t you shoot him, Candy? And Candy is left with no other option, but to shoot his longtime companion. This sub-plot is an obvious metaphor for what George must do to Lennie, who proves top be no good to George and no good to himself. Steinbeck re-emphasises the significance of Candy’s dog when Candy says to George that he wishes someone would shoot him when he’s no longer any good. And when Carlson’s gun goes off, Lennie is the only other man not inside the bunk house, Steinbeck having placed him outside with the dog, away from the other men, his gun shot saved for the novel’s end.

THE CRIPPLES: Four of Steinbeck’s characters are handicapped: Candy is missing a hand, Crooks has a crooked spine, Lennie is mentally slow, and Curley acquires a mangled hand in the course of the novel. They are physical manifestations of one of the novel’s major themes: the schemes of men go awry. Here, to reiterate the point, Steinbeck has the actual bodies of his characters go awry. It is as if nature herself is often doomed to errors in her scheme. And whether they be caused at birth, or by a horse, or by another man, the physical deformities occur regardless of the handicapped person’s will or desire to be otherwise, just as George and Lennie’s dream goes wrong despite how much they want it to be fulfilled.

SOLITAIRE: George is often in the habit of playing solitaire, a card game that requires only one person, while he is in the bunk house. He never asks Lennie to play cards with him because he knows that Lennie would be incapable of such a mental task. Solitaire, which means alone, is a metaphor for the loneliness of the characters in the novel, who have no one but themselves. It is also a metaphor for George’s desire to be ‘solitaire’, to be no longer burdened with Lennie’s company, and his constant playing of the game foreshadows his eventual decision to become a solitary man.

THE DEAD MOUSE AND THE DEAD DOG: These two soft, furry creatures that Lennie accidentally kills are both metaphors and foreshadowing devices. As metaphors, they serve as a physical representation of what will happen to George and Lennie’s dream: they (Lennie in particular) will destroy it. Lennie never intends to kill the thing he loves, the soft things he wants more than anything, but they die on him nonetheless. The dead mouse is also an allusion to the novel’s title – Of Mice and Men, a reminder that dreams will go wrong, even the desire to pet a mouse. And because bad things come in threes, Lennie’s two accidental killings of animals foreshadow the final killing of Curley’s wife, an accident that seals his fate and ruins the dream for him, George and Candy.
