read the passage from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings: In those tender mornings the Store was full of laughing, joking, boasting

and bragging. One man was going to pick two hundred pounds of cotton, and another three hundred. Even the children were promising to bring home fo' bits and six bits. The champion picker of the day before was the hero of the dawn. If he prophesied that the cotton in today's field was going to be sparse and stick to the bolls like glue, every listener would grunt a hearty agreement. The sound of the empty cotton sacks dragging over the floor and the murmurs of waking people were sliced by the cash register as we rang up the five-cent sales. If the morning sounds and smells were touched with the supernatural, the late afternoon had all the features of the normal Arkansas life. In the dying sunlight the people dragged, rather than their empty cotton sacks. Brought back to the Store, the pickers would step out of the backs of trucks and fold down, dirt-disappointed, to the ground. No matter how much they had picked' it wasn't enough. Their wages wouldn't even get them out of debt to my grandmother, not to mention the staggering bill that waited on them at the white commissary downtown. write one full paragraph that identifies the aliteration in this passage. then explain why May Angelou uses alliteration. what is the effect?

There's alliteration all over the entire passage. With the P and S words with nice spacing.
Anyway, the effects of the alliteration is basically that it sounds nice. That's literally it. It just sounds nice to read words that sounds so similar. It takes skill and it is just a poetic way of writing.

What happens on pages 56-89 of old man and the sea?
Marrrta [24]

Answer: From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

In what way are the scientific revolution and the Industrial Revolution
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

A. Discoveries during the scientific revolution allowed for the

Industrial Revolution to occur.

Explanation:

The early discoveries of the Scientific revolution were primarily about the solar system and the nature of matter. But these led to more scientific inquiry about forces (Descartes, Newton, Kepler) and development of formulae used to calculate and predict outcomes.

These came to be applied by the inventors at the start of the industrial revolution, especially in the development of the steam engine (Newcomen, Watt) which allowed for increased production of goods and faster travel over greater distances.
