n theme do they share?
I don't like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza [large porch]. . . but John would not hear of it. He is very careful and loving, and hardly lets me stir without special direction.

His heart turned over like the fly-wheel of the boat, and, for the second time, her casual whim gave a new direction to his life . . . Dexter had no desire to change her.

The correct answer is C.

In this two excerpts we can observe how the dynamic between gender works, and how it can affect and change the other person's life.

In the first excerpt, the lady talking explains that her husband helps her keep focused on important things, rather than stir directionless.

In this case, the couple shows a dynamic in which the man of the relationship controls the woman.

In the second excerpt, the man is managed by his wife's whims. Still, he does not desire to change her, since he feels that even her flaws are filled with a passionate energy that makes them tolerable.

In this case, the couple dynamic is that of the man who tolerates tantrums and childish attitudes out of extreme and pure love.

Read the poem “Birmingham Sunday” by Richard Fariña and complete the instruction that follows.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

"Birmingham Sunday" was written as a song and is in the form of a broadside ballad. The structure was formed in part to match the old Scottish folk song "I Once Loved a Lass." I think Fariña may have chosen to use an old melody because he wanted the message to be the main focus of the song. The familiarity of the melody meant that people may have been able to sing along, so all they needed to do was to learn the words. The song has a pattern, which is broken occasionally. The main pattern for syllables in a stanza is 11, 11, 11, and 10. However, Fariña occasionally breaks from this pattern, almost as if stressing particular messages. The first break is in line 7: "At an old Baptist church there was no need to run." This line is 12 syllables instead of the usual 11. The line is also heavy with irony, so it could be that Fariña wanted to emphasize its irony and foreshadow what will happen. The second break is in line 17: "And the number her killers had given was four," referring to Carol Robertson. It is possible that this line was given an extra syllable (12 instead of 11) to emphasize Carol, who was the last victim mentioned in the song. The syllable pattern does not break again until line 30: "And I can't do much more than to sing you a song." This could be to emphasize the helplessness that some felt as a result of the injustice. The song also utilized end rhyme. Using letters to represent end rhymes, most stanzas (except the first) looked like this: AAAB. It is interesting that the first stanza starts off not following this pattern. Instead, it follows a rhyme pattern of AABC. The "B" that seems out of place happens to be the powerful line, "On Birmingham Sunday the blood ran like wine." Perhaps Fariña wanted to keep this line, which utilizes figurative language to hint at the destruction, the topic of the song.

Anna007 [38]

problem/cause/solution

The passage first identifies the problem as the tires "piling up in empty lots." Then it is explained how those tires got there: the cause. The author says that since "it is expensive and dangerous to dispose of tires" people don't dispose of them and they just keep piling up. Then the passage ends with a solution. The author mentions how tires can be shredded and turned into rubberized asphalt for paving projects.
