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 is the theme of “Fire and Ice” by Robert Frost?
BigorU [14]
The theme of Robert Frost's poem is the destuctive potential of hatred and desire. In his poem, Frost explores with amazingly eloquent brevity two forces which have the potential to bring destruction to the world. The first of these two is desire, which Frost likens in heat and intensity to fire.

Work without hope nectar in a sieve
fomenos

Answer:

This is a line from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Wok Without Hope" which talks about the uselessness of any work that is done without hope.

Explanation:

In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Work Without Hope", he emphasizes on the importance of hope and aim in a person's life. Coleridge seems to be talking about the common nature of man and the necessity of having an aim or objective so as to achieve a goal, for, without hope, all efforts are futile and unnecessary.

In the non-traditional sonnet, the poet presents his case by metaphorically stating that<u> "work without hope draws nectar in a sieve"</u>. This is to say that any work without hope is like collecting nectar in a sieve. It merely runs or flows through, with no accumulation of a safety space. But if a person has hope in his life and works with that, then whatever is achieved has a greater meaning and purpose. Without hope, there is no purpose in a work being done, nor is there any result to be elated for.
