Answer:

4.The jar was gray and bare.

5.It did not give of bird or bush,

Explanation:

Impersonality and objectivity seem to be crucial in modernist culture.  The idea of emptiness can be clearly seen on those two lines since being "gray and bare" means something is boring and forgettable. The idea of barrenness can be seen in not giving bird or bush. The ground had nothing on it or for it.

explain each of the five key parts of the mind maps method of reading actively. Conclude your response by explaining how you mig
hram777 [196]

The mind map method is made of five parts: a box, arrows, circles, stars, and free-floaters. The box is the place where you write the main topic. The arrows connect the box with other parts of the mind map and show the relationship between ideas. The circles are where you write subordinate ideas of the main idea. The stars serve the same function as circles except they are starred because the information contained within them is especially important. Free-floaters are circles or stars that are not connected to the main idea. They are important ideas that seem to be off-topic. For me, I feel that I could use the mind map method as a way to organize each chapter of Gulliver’s Travels.

Which aspects of a literary work can help the reader determine the author's purpose?
earnstyle [38]
The word choice and tone are the primary aspects of a written work which can help the reader determine the author's purpose. For example, a satire using caustic words will allow the reader to see that the work is a satire and is aimed at being critical of the subject at hand. On the other hand, a humorous work will have a  lighthearted tone in which the author uses funny words to describe a situation or a person.
