What does " And my clay house mold'ring away" and " Nor grinding pains in my body frail" mean?

English

julsineya [31]4 years ago

The poem "As Weary Pilgrim", by Anne Bradstreet is about finishing a journey (a "pilgrimage"). The author describes all the things that the pilgrim, having finished his journey, will never feel again. Bradstreet is clearly using the end of a pilgrimage as a metaphor for the end of a life, for the moment of death, and thus expressing her desire to reach that moment of eternal, blissful rest.

The phrase "And my clay house mold'ring away" refers to the body, aged and tired and near the moment of death.

The phrase "Nor grinding pains in my body frail" refers to that moment of eternal rest where there is no pain, only peace and bliss in the eternal afterlife.

1.) Why are models important to use in science? Give an example of how a scientist would use a model in science.
Ivan
1) Well, models are vital to use by scientists, because that way they can represent visually and help other people understand the point they are trying to stress about their project. A simple example would be to use a Bohr model to represent a specific chemical, and along with that show how many protons or neutrons does it have.

2)In science a universal law is a statement by which a particular action or a phenomenon would occur ALWAYS in the same way, and will ALWAYS abide to what the law states, while a theory is a guess on what kind of pattern does a particular phenomenon or experiment abide by.

3)The SI units are units of the metric system, and are used everywhere in the world for specific measurements, the kilograms is used when measuring mass, the meters  is used when measuring length,  the liter is used when measuring a volume of a liquid, and finally the cubic meters or m3 are used when measuring the volume of a solid. and those are the standards as well.

Read the quoted sentence. Revise it and justify your correction.: “Dealing with gossip in the office is as easy as keeping all t
MrMuchimi
This sentence is messy, as well as a run-on. Here's a revised version:

"It becomes easy to gossip among the office, but remember; it is just as easy to keep it a secret!"

There is proper punctuation added to make it easier to read. It also adds personality and emotion to the sentence. Try reading the two aloud and compare them. You can make changes to it if you feel it necessary.
