Answer:
Pour on lotion
Rub it in
Perfect for
My summer skin.
On the bike
Or in the pool,
A sip of water
To keeps me cool
OR
The familiar rhythm of the cricket's chirps
Create the soundtrack for each day,
Echoing Summer's end
And that Autumn's on her way.
The stifling heat of the summer sun
Is now tempered by the clouds.
Those fluffy, cotton August clouds,
That soft breezes push about.
Shadows falling everywhere
As the sun plays peek-a-boo.
Losing her strength with each new day,
A sure sign that Summer is through.
As the lazy, care-free summer days,
Reluctantly draw to an end.
Excitement grows for what's ahead,
As school days and the Fall begin.
Answer:
B. The world focuses too much on outward appearances; one shouldn't try to live up to others' expectations.
Explanation:
T. S. Eliot's poem "The Love Songs of J. Alfred Prufrock" deals with the sadness and aloofness of a person amidst the 'busy' lifestyle of the new technological age. This dramatic monologue also involves the speaker Prufrock's inner thoughts at trying to reveal/ declare his inner feelings to his lady love but is unable to do so for his feeling of inferiority overtakes him.
The given lines show how men judge one another despite the achievements that the man may have. They will always find fault with one thing or another, like when Prufrock states <em>"My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin"</em> is overshadowed by their observation of how thin his arms and legs are. This shows how <u>the world chose to focus on outward appearances</u>, which the speaker tries to play down and rather focus on not what they say, or try to live up to that expectation. Rather, <u>one must live as one sees fit, ignoring others' expectations of what we should be. </u>
Answer:
Ismene reveals that she helped Antigona to entertain her brother. Upon hearing this, Creon states that he will condemn Antigone and Ismene to death.
Explanation:
Etéocles and Polinices are brothers and caused the death of the other in a battle. They are also brothers of Antigone and Ismene, who want the brothers to have a dignified funeral and burial. However, Creotes decrees that it is forbidden for Polinices to have a burial, or for any official funeral, but Eteocles is allowed to have a dignified burial. Antigona refuses to obey Creontes and decides that burying her Polynesic brother calls Ismene to do so, but Ismene refuses to participate.
Antigone is caught in the act, and Creon decides to call the two sisters to justify himself. At that moment, Ismene feels that she will not let her sister be punished alone and says that she helped her in the funeral of Polinices. Upon hearing this, Creon states that the two are sentenced to death.
Answer:
1.) "Gene calculates the area of the room." This is an independent clause
2.) "If he measures and calculates correctly." This is a dependent clause
3.) "Because the rain was so heavy." This is a dependent clause
4.) "Daisy drove the yellow car home." This is an independent clause
Explanation:
An independent clause is a group of words that can <em>stand on its own as a sentence</em>: it has a subject, a verb, and is a complete thought.
A dependent clause does not express a complete thought and <em>cannot stand on its own as a sentence.</em>
