D) the tone of the piece, and e) the perspective or point of view. Be sure that your paragraph has a topic sentence that identifies the subject, and provide evidence (quotes) from the excerpt to support each part of the analysis.
"Then I started back, with more fear than food, and went to meet the people whom I had left behind, with the greatest haste I could make. I overtook them after two day's march and went with them till we had passed the desert and arrived at their home. Here I was not made welcome as previously, because the men as well as the women indulged in much weeping for the persons killed at Cíbola. Without tarrying I hastened in fear from that people and that valley. The first day I went ten leagues, then I went eight and again ten leagues, without stopping till I had passed the second desert. On my return, although I was not without fear, I determined to approach the open tract, situated at the end of the mountain ranges, of which I said above that I had some account. As I came near, I was informed that it is peopled for many days' journey towards the east, but I dared not enter it, because it seemed to me that we must go to colonize and to rule that other country of the seven cities and the kingdoms I have spoken of, and that then one could see it better. So I forebore to risk my person and left it alone to given an account of what I had seen. However, I saw, from the mouth of the tract seven moderate-sized towns at some distance, and further a very fresh valley of very good land, whence rose much smoke. I was informed that there is much gold in it and that the natives of it deal in vessels and jewels for the ears and little plates with which they scrape themselves to relieve themselves of sweat, and that these people will not consent to trade with those of the other part of the valley; but I was not able to learn the cause for this. Here I placed two crosses and took possession of all this plain and valley in the same manner as I had done with the other possessions, according to my instructions."

Whitman used iambic feet in the poem for what purpose?
julsineya [31]

The correct answer is "the unstressed-stressed combination mimics waves". Iambic feet is a type of metrics used particularly in traditional English poetry to add an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. The name iamb comes from this combination of unstressed-stressed, while feet is the name given to a group of syllabes at which the rhythm is measured. In this case Whitman used iambic feet to accomplished the unstressed-stressed effect is his poem.

What does della buy jim <br>​
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Della buys Jim a watch fob because his watch is his most prized possession.

Explanation:

Della and Jim Young do not have much money. Despite this, Della really wants to buy Jim a good Christmas present. She is even willing to sell her hair to get him a nice gift.

This is ironic because we learn Della and Jim both highly prize her hair.

Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim's gold watch that had been his father's and his grandfather's. The other was Della's hair.  

Della is still willing to sell her hair so she can buy Jim a really nice gift to show him how much she loves him. She searches high and low until she finds it, and then doesn’t think twice before buying it.

It was a platinum fob chain simple and chaste in design, properly proclaiming its value by substance alone and not by meretricious ornamentation — as all good things should do. It was even worthy of The Watch.  

The fact that Della sold her hair becomes even more ironic when we learn Jim sold his watch in order to buy her a nice hair set. Della sold her hair to buy him a fob for a watch he no longer has, and he sold his watch to buy combs for hair she no longer has.

One thing is for sure, hair grows back. Della knows her hair will eventually be beautiful again, so she did not mind selling it too much. Her hair was her most prized possession. Once it grows back, she will be able to enjoy the combs. Unfortunately, the watch fob is kind of useless unless Jem gets his watch back.

zmey [24]
Probably a survey or a questionnaire on a group of random people so as to sample them. In that way you could cover a large number of people unlike using interviews that are time consuming and can only gather info from a few persons.

Read the following paragraph from John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" and pay close attention to the words in bold. In one paragr
vesna_86 [32]
The mood portrayed in John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" can be described as first very gloomy and disparate and then to joyous and relief. At first, the narrator is very discouraged because he cannot find the Calypso flower that he wants. But when he finds it, he seems very joyous and as the passage says, he "cries for joy". This means that he had been waiting and searching for a long time. Muir also uses dramatic terms like choosing to place the Calypso as a lonely flower in the middle of a bog.

Hope this helps :)
