1. The ambiguity is best described in lines "I woke and chid my honest fingers, -- / The gem was gone". As if her fingers could have kept the jewel with her sleeping. Even though she did everything she could to keep it (her fingers are "honest", that means innocent), she still lost it somehow. Maybe it was meant to be that way.

2. The jewel is figurative - it means it's not an actual jewel, but rather a metaphor of love or beloved whom she had lost. The fact that she talks about a gem gives away many associations: this love was something precious and exquisite for her.

3. It doesn't matter where the gem "went", and the speaker doesn't give us any clues about it. It's as if she doesn't even think about it. The only thing that matters is that it's lost to her, and will never again be in her possession. It's a one-direction journey.

4. She went to sleep because she felt calm and secure about her gem. It was a nice, idyllic love, something that made her serene and happy, so she started taking it for granted, and didn't realize that it could go away anytime. The warm day and prosy winds convey this feeling. She was lulled by it.

5. Considering that all things, good or bad, must pass, memory is indeed all any of us own. Memory of good and bad things makes us who we are. However important something might be to us, one day it will surely go away, no matter how hard we try to preserve it and keep it safe.

How might Romeo and Juliet’s relationship be different had Romeo and Juliet met at the age of 25 instead of 15? Imagine how thin
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The differences between Romeo and Juliet define them. One of the differences is their families. Both of their families are at war. Because of this hatred, Romeo and Juliet's relationship will be at risk. In Juliet, Romeo finds a legitimate object for the extraordinary passion that he is capable of feeling, and his unyielding love for her takes control of him. Juliet, on the other hand, is an innocent girl, a child at the beginning of the play, and is startled by the sudden power of her love for Romeo.

Read the line given below and complete the story in about 200-250 words. Begin the story like this: We were returning after foot
____ [38]

Answer:

We were returning after football match late in the evening. As we were walking through the rather lonely road, we heard footsteps behind us…

“Hey, you forgot your backpack”, a little girl handed me the blue and red backpack.  

            “Oh, Thanks”, I mumbled, confused.  

 

The girl ran away very quickly and hoppity. Strange, I thought. On our way home, I couldn’t stop thinking about that odd little girl. I never saw her at any of the practices. Maybe it was the coach’s daughter? Even if it was, would he really let his daughter chase after people when they left things behind? I shook my head and tried to forget that it even  

When I got home, I threw the backpack on the couch, an everyday routine. My mom mumbled something about “Don’t do that” as I was heading to the kitchen. I ignored her and went to get a snack. Suddenly, the backpack started making noises. It was very faint.  

I was torn between going to check out the noises and staying and hiding behind the counter. I had to admit; I was scared. Maybe the girl put ghost in it, I didn’t know.  

The noises started getting louder and louder. My mom complained, thinking that I was making the loud noises.  I approached the bag, very slowly. I was very hesitant. When I got up the courage, I opened the bag. It was full of kittens, luckily not hurt by the fall.
