Answer:

The above statement is true.

Explanation:

The line "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting" is both a metaphor and a paradox.

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which two things are compared with each other which are very different from each other but they have at characteristic common to each other. In the above statement, birth has been compared to 'sleep' and the process of 'forgetting'. Here the process of being born has been compared with a slow-moving away from God. It has been assumed that before being born, a person lives with God. Later when he is born, he starts his journey to move away from god.

At the same time, this statement is an example of a paradox. A paradox is a figure of speech in which contradictory or logically unacceptable elements exists in the same sentence. The above sentence is a paradoxical statement because here 'birth' has been said to be a 'sleep' which is the contradictory idea altogether.

Descriptive essay on Farming in my hometown​
Helga [31]

Answer:

This question needs more information to be answered. It is something personal and it describes your city in particular. Anyway, I will give you an example on how to write this essay.

Explanation:

Let's begin by clarifyng  what is a descriptive essay: It is the type of essay that tries to describe events, landscapes, objects and people. It is used in literary, historical or traditional works. Its purpose is to capture the point of view of what the author perceives about the distinctive features of either a topic or an event.

I live in New Jersey. Here, they have been working with a vertical farming company looking to take control of an abandoned building in order to produce sustainable vegetables. About 100 people work here and more than 250 types of green leafy vegetables have been grown since it opened.

The farm uses water in really low amounts and in a tight space. They have also gotten the financial support of many private investors.

Everything that the farm produces during the year almost does not affect the environment, because its cultivation is done indoors and does not need to be transported to the city.

They use a technique called aeroponics, which does not need soil, natural light, or water for plant growth.
