The main idea of this poem "When You Are Old" written by Willian Butler Yeats is about "Love, Loss, and Regret". The guy who is was very in love the woman who keeps rejecting him for many times already even if he's love is pure and unconditional. He said that the woman will regret of not marrying him.

"When You Are Old" by William Butler Yeats is a poem by a speaker who reflects on a former lover he has lost. The poet tells the woman to think of all the men who have loved her in the past, and how most of them have loved her only because of her beauty, and other false reasons. Nevertheless, the speaker always loved her completely. He also tells her that he is sure she will regret how their love ended, as it was the best she ever had.

Which of these should you do to show the place in a text where something
wlad13 [49]

A. Mark the text with an asterisk.

Explanation:

You can put an asterisk right at the point in the page where you feel the important information is while th<u>e other options are less efficient in that they do not help in retention of information or keeping a track of what was important.</u>

You can mark a page as important but only if you believe the whole page is important not just a line, an asterisk can give specificity to the text which it would need in time of revision.

I'd say it's letter B - <span>Unchecked emotions are potentially destructive.
</span>
The theme of this poem is the destructive potential of hatred and desire. Frost explores the two forces which have the potential to bring destruction to the world. Fire is desire, and ice is hate. The last line (“For destruction, ice is also great and would suffice”) suggests that <u>it does not matter which is stronger</u>. Both fire and ice are destructive. In the end, the <span>moral idea that powerful emotions (passion, desire, greed, and hatred) have the capability to destroy the whole world no matter what kind of emotions they are.</span>

Answer:

Dishonest :

Haley

Charlotte

Honest work:

Nadia

Anna

Explanation:

Dishonest work in writing occurs when a particular article or work related to another author is the used without being duly referenced. This type of act could be tagged as plagiarism.

In the scenarios given above, Dishonest works can be attributed to both Haley and Charlotte who both used articles and journals which are writing credited to other authors without referencing or citing them.

Conversely, Nadia and Anna both did an honest job, by paraphrasing (not using exact word and use of quotation reference) together with citing the name of encyclopedia and author whose text were used.
