Which lines express desperation in this excerpt from Sir Philip Sidney's Sonnet 1? But words came halting forth, wanting Inventi

on's stay, Invention, Nature's child, fled step-dame Study's blows, And others' feet still seem’d but strangers in my way. Thus, great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes, Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite-- "Fool," said my Muse to me, "look in thy heart and write."

I would say that the lines which show us how desperate the poet is are the following:
"... helpless in my throes, Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite--"
As you can see here, the poet says he is helpless, meaning that he cannot find inspiration to write what he wants to write. Therefore he is desperate for some inspiration, which is why he is biting his truant pen in order to show how anxious he is to get his inspiration back.

Serjik [45]

Answer and Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by author Amy Tan in which the relationship between an American daughter and her Chinese mother is explored. The main character and narrator is the daughter, Jing-mei. Her mother wants her to be a child prodigy, no matter in what field. She pushes Jing-mei to try different things: acting, dancing, singing, mathematics. They finally settle with playing the piano. However, Jing-mei loses interest and decides to be only average. Her piano teacher, Old Chong, is a deaf man who does not pay close attention to see if Jing-mei is actually learning.

How does Old Chong react to Jing-mei's performance at the talent show?

<em>The room was quiet, except for Old Chong,  who was beaming and shouting "Bravo! Bravo! Well done!</em>

Because Old Chong is deaf, he is the only one applauding Jing-mei at the talent show. She performs dreadfully, making it clear that she is not a prodigy. As a matter of fact, it is now clear to everyone, especially her mother, that she is not even trying to learn.

What are the two kinds of daughters?

After the disastrous recital, Jing-mei and her mother begin to argue. According to her mother, there are two types of daughters:

<em>"Only two kinds of daughters," she shouted in Chinese. "Those who are obedient and those who follow  their own mind! Only one kind of daughter can live in this house. Obedient daughter!"</em>

<em />

What does Suyuan give Jing-mei?

When Jing-mei turns thirty, her mother gives her the old piano. Jing-mei sees this a sign of forgiveness. She has remained average throughout her life, as if to prove a point. She did not wish to live up to her mother's expectations.

Answer:

6. What are you buying?

7. Do you play basketball?

8. What have you become?

9. What do they have?

10. What is she going to take.

Explanation:

6. I wrote this answer for the sixth one because it refers to ‘ What is she buying?’

7. Because the given sentence is already a question.

8. This is because the question refers to ‘ what have you become?’ because the second person will always say ‘ I have’ instead of ‘You have’.

9. This is because the sentence refers to ‘ What do they have?’

10. This is because the sentence refers to ‘ What will she take?’
