So hard it is to kindle new desire,In gentle breastthat shall endure for ever: Deep is the wound, that dints the parts entire Withchaste affects, that naught but death can sever. Then think not long in takinglittle pain, To knit the knot, that ever shall remain.

1. The sonnet is written in the English form, because it has 3 quatrains (stanzas consisting of 4 lines) and one couplet in the end, which differs from the form of Italian or Petrarchan sonnet, which are the same thing.
2. The rhyme scheme is ababbcbccdcdee, because every second line rhymes.
3. The main idea of the poem is lasting love.
4. The poet has used the metaphor of burning oak to emphasize how patient one needs to be when trying to win the love of a lady.
5. He also uses the metaphor of the knot to emphasize the depth of love.

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

1. English

Edmund Spenser is English. He varied the traditional Shakespearean English sonnet form by changing the rhyme scheme which creates couplet links that connect the quatrains together.

2. abab bcbc cdcd ee

Spenserian sonnets repeat the last rhyme as the first rhyme of the next quatrain. This continuation of a rhyme from quatrain to quatrain ties them together more than previous sonnet forms.

3. lasting love

The poet uses phrases like "endure for ever" and "naught but death can sever" to show how long love can last.

4. metaphor

He is comparing the burning oak to the patience it takes when wooing. He does not use like or as which would indicate a simile. Also, the oak is not being given human traits which is required for personification.

5. knot

He compares the depth of love to a knot so tightly tied and tangled that it cannot be undone.

Some scholars say that the highest value in Western civilization today is promoting the many-sided creativity of each individual
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

From my perspective I do not agree with it. I believe that there should be a balance in both to be the complete highest value. Concerning with creativity, we should encourage and promote people to develop their creative side. Imagination is beyond our knowledge and if people work on it, we could see amazing progress with their new projects. But if we only focus on the creative side, then people could be all over the place not knowing where they want to go or sometimes to do. Concerning with specialization, it is very important that if someone is good at some specific work, she/he should specialize in it to be the best at it. But not all work should be in a linear way. People should be able to explore other things but still focus on their job. In conclusion, I believe that the best option should be a combination of both; people should specialize at the work they are the best at and should be able to explore and promote their creativity through it.

In the interview, Debbie Rigaud’s says that one reason she wrote “Voilà!” was to acknowledge the “quietly suffering people” she
ira [324]

Answer:

Aside from Simone, Ma Tante as well as the other elderly people in the doctor's office and elderly people in general are treated unfairly in the story.

Explanation:

Debbie Rigaud's short story "Voilà!" revolves primarily around Simone and her great-aunt's relationship. But the story also delves into the issue of how the elderly are treated differently by the younger generations as well as how poorer people are treated. The author wants to portray that discrimination and bring it to the attention of the readers.

In the story, the great aunt <em>"Ma Tante"</em> is unfairly treated, as are the other elderly people in the run-down <em>"ghetto doctor's office"</em>. Another elderly that's treated unfairly is<em> "Mr. Charles Pemberton"</em> who Waverly insists on taking him on a wheelchair even though he can walk properly.

Aside from the elderly, the protagonist of the story Simone Thibodeaux also feels embarrassed for her background, for being different from her classmates. She admits<em> "My embarrassment at being seen in the ghetto doctor’s office outweighs my guilt."</em> Moreover, she is a Haitian, thereby resulting in different treatment from others, including the twin-nurse sisters and Waverly, who also made the suggestion that Simone helps the <em>"CARE-A-VAN"</em> volunteers by translating for them.
