Background: The U.S. Marine Corps first adopted a BLM wild horse for the Mounted Color Guard in 1988. A two-year old horse calle

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. —Horace
Virty [35]

Answer: The quote "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant ", by the poet Horace, is true to my life and I think is true for all life. The meaning behind it is that many times a person can face adversity and develop traits and talents that they would have never developed without those adversities. Although many people may think that adversity holds people back, I think that it enhances learning, exposes weakness, and helps us better understand ourselves. Without adversity it would be very difficult for people to advance and adapt in life.

With adversity comes learning. If life was always the same and your day to day process was a routine, then you would not learn very much. A person who lives like that would become very good at the things they do over and over again but then as soon that life style changes, they would have no idea what to do. That is why it is important to have adversity in life because it helps to learn when new situations occur. It also helps develop pristine skills and talents used in problem solving that would never exist without adversity.

Another advantage to having adversity in life is the exposure of weakness and the fortification of mental strength. When adversity comes up and we are easily able to solve the problem, we know that if that ever comes up again that we will have no problem bouncing back from that setback. If a larger and more severe situation occurs in out life and we are not able to handle it as well as other ones, we know that it is a weakness. Finding a weakness is beneficial for two reasons. The first is that it gives us something to practice for so that we are better at assessing such situations. The second is that it gives us something to watch out for and possibly makes us more careful to avoid that situation occurring again

In "Heat," H.D. uses hyperbole when she describes heat that actually prevents fruit from falling. How does this hyperbole affect
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

"Heat", by Hilda Doolittle, is a really short poem with several characteristics. One of them is the amount of imagery that the poet uses to communicate not so much a message but the impressions generated by what is being perceived by the speaker. We do not know who this speaker is, or what the setting is, all we known is that most likely this person is experiencing a really torrid place, most likely the tropics, as this person speaks about fruit that falls from trees. Probably one of the most impressive images this author gives is the one about heat. The poet uses such words as "cut" and "rend open" to let us know one thing; that wherever this person is, the heat is really high. In fact, the image is so strong, that through the hyperbole of heat preventing fruit from falling, you cannot help but think about the thickness of it and you feel as if you were going through a curtain of it. This is why the correct answer is A: It emphasizes how intense and powerful the heat is.

What was Buck's life like with John Thornton?<br> In The Call of The Wild
Iteru [2.4K]

John Thornton and Buck's connection goes far beyond the working relationship that Buck had with Francois and Perrault. He respected those men for their understanding of dogs and of nature, but he had no great affection for them. John Thornton is "the ideal master," for he understands Buck without difficulty or confusion. Buck loves him because he shows his need for Buck, repeatedly demonstrating that Buck can help him in ways that others can't.
