1. C) that they're poor

Beans are one of the cheapest food in the world, although yummy and nutritive, people who are not poor are less likely to buy beans on a regular basis, unlike this old couple the author is describing, which eat beans mostly. In the poem, of course, eating beans is just one of the several characteristics from which we can infer that they are poor.

2. A)Part of what Brooks wants to communicate is the everyday nature of their very minimal existence.

Brook describes a simple scene: an old poor couple who are having dinner in their "rented back room", and their overall everyday actions and characteristics: they are "Mostly Good", they live their day, keep on putting on their clothes, keep on putting things away, and remembering (like old people normally do). At first sight, the characters are not interesting, exciting, something worth watching as they do normal things. However, the author's intention is to turn the reader's attention to the simple and everyday things and communicate the everyday nature of the couple's very minimal existence.

3)  A) "Remembering, with twinklings and twinges,"

For many old people, remembering good times is one of the main sources of joy, it may affect their everyday life, even if it does not makes them excited as before. For the couple, these memories are strong enough in the present to give them “twinklings and twinges.".

4) The speaker of this poem is  A) an observer, like a fly on the wall.

The poem is narrated from a third-person perspective, from an outside looker, as he or she uses pronouns like "They", and refers to them as "Two".

ValentinkaMS [17]

The correct answer is sympathetic.


If you read Beowulf, you will see that Grendel is a vicious monster who doesn't care about humanity at all - people are there just for him to eat. On the other hand, if you read Grendel, you will see what happened from his point of view - that he is not just a brainless beast, and that he has thoughts and feelings.

How does William Blake use literary techniques (repetition, rhyme, rhythm, figurative language, symbolism, form, style, etc.) an
Inessa [10]
I have the same prompt. Are you in the k12 system? Well here it is:
William Blake uses literary techniques and structure to develop meaning to the poem, mood as well as tone. Blake uses phrases like "<span>The sun does arise, 
And make happy the skies" To make the reader feel happy and light. It also conveys the idea that spring is a good thing and that the skies become happy when spring is coming. Blake also uses rhyme to make the poem light and bouncy. He uses phrases like </span><span>The merry bells ring - B
To welcome the Spring; The skylark and thrush, The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around To the bells’ cheerful sound;  While our sports shall be seen On the echoing green" This little stanza here give the poem a light and happy feeling. This is as far as I got I'll update this later when I am done. I hoped this somewhat helped.</span>

Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES W
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The best answer for the question: What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt, would be, A: trapped.

Explanation:

Trapped is defined as being held, or captured, restrained or entrapped by something or someone. Essentially, it means that a person´s, or something, freedom, is limited due to something tying it, or them, down. When the speaker in this excerpt says that "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER", he is making allusion to the fact that binding, or being bound, is like talking about being limited, withheld from their right to be free and to choose their own fates and the way they are governed. Because he uses the word "bound" as a form to talk about limitations, and being held back, especially from freedom, and then makes allusion to this being equal to slavery, then the best option to choose from to answer the question would be A: trapped, which essentially presents the same idea as "bound" would.

matrenka [14]
Dear Johnny, ( or friends name )

2020 surely wasn’t the best school year for me. I went through tons of hardships. Im only praying that 2021 is a much better school year. I have some pretty interesting new things in my school that took place in 2020. Such as more language classes, students are now opened to taking a Chinese class, and two other classes woodshop. I ended up enrolling in the cooking class, I learned how to make spaghetti, cakes, cupcakes. I can’t wait! Till you can try my new skills out on a plate.
