Answer:

 There was a girl

names Pearl

who lied

and died.

But no tears shed down her cheeks

for she smiled with glistening beaks.

No longer a human, but now a bird

opening her mouth to eat a curd.

Poem:

Neglect by R. T. Smith

Summary:

The speaker in this poem seems to be filled with regret and sadness due to the fact that his apple tree he had neglected is now gone. It connects to a more general theme, such as loss. The fact that, we neglect to spend as much time as possible with the ones we love, and regret it in the ending when we realize it is too late. We tend to blame ourselves in every way, for it’s hard to deal with sudden tragedies. Looking at the apple tree as more of a metaphor, one can see that the speaker cannot help but find something precious to be lost. Continuously he even says “I should have” rather than facing acceptance. The reason the speaker’s idea can be expressed easily without having to actually state the loss of an apple tree as metaphorical, is that the poem is titled neglect. It is simply generalizing what others could feel the topic may express to them. The tone of voice complements the words perfectly, for it is emotional and the metaphors carry on the moral of the poem. The mood constantly makes you think that he is facing a hard battle, for it is depressing. “Is the scent of apple boughs smoking in the woodstove what I will remember of the Red Delicious I brought down, ashamed” This line presents regret and the burden that hangs over him for he had not cared for the tree enough, although he had loved it very much; much like the people in our lives. However, he does speak of everyone, “For any living being unloved, untended.” For in his mind he knows what it’s like to do such upon others. Overall what the speaker feels the reader feels, and the feeling is guilt and grief.

Don't forget to paraphrase!

Paraphrase means to put it into your own words.

Hope this helps!

How does Vonnegut most clearly create irony in his story Harrison Bergeron
Dima020 [189]

There are three types of irony, verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony is the use of words to mean something different than what the person says. Situational irony is when something different happens than what is expected. Lastly, dramatic irony is when is when the audience is aware of something the characters are not.

In the story "Harrison Bergeron," Vonnegut employs dramatic irony. The audience is aware that Harrison was murdered by the government, but the characters although they witnessed it, cannot recall mere moments later that their own son was murdered. He was murdered for rejecting the government and their control over trying to make everyone equal and the same mechanisms caused his own parents to forget him.

Someone please help thank you

Answer: I quietly pretended to read, and my spot proved very convenient for eavesdropping on everyone who passed near me.

It may seem hard to put together phrases in a sentence, but once you try out a few ways, it becomes super easy! And only one way makes sense.

Hope this helped! ;)
