Answer:

the line comes from W B Yeats' poem 'The Second Coming' and describes the image of the Sphinx to show that civilization can fall to nightmarish proportions.

Explanation:

the second coming is argued to be about the second coming of Christ and a dogmatic nihilistic view that humans are irredeemable depending on who interprets it. the theme however, is redemption and the image that springs up is the fall of order. 'things fall apart' in the earlier lines of the poem.

the lion with the face of man represents the bestiality of mankind in the nightmarish image of a desert that Yeats describes. Sphinx of Egypt is a counterpart in reality, a testament to the fall of a once great civilization. hence, the image serves to show the non divinity of humans and the need to be saved by the second coming of Christ.

Make a speech about linguistic prejudice

Nutka1998 [239]

I believe that when it comes to linguistic prejudice it is a problem in which people are just choosing to be ignorant because they hate a northern southern or any other accent on words when it comes to the language they speak because most of them "hate" hearing cowboys or rednecks and cowboys and rednecks hate hearing city people and gangsters but all in all they all speak the same language and i believe that it wouldn't make a big difference if people cared less about the way each other speak but more about the message behind the words spoken we could learn a lot more from each other that way because an old cowboy and a gangster probably have some good advice when it comes to bad decisions that they can spread to other people to help them from making the same mistakes.
