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.

How important are the principle of speech delivery in real life situation?​
goblinko [34]

Hey! I'm not sure if the principles of speech are universally recognized, but these 7 are mentioned in a popular article by amanet.org:

  • Perception
  • Perfection
  • Visualization
  • Discipline
  • Description
  • Inspiration
  • Anticipation

If this isn't what you're talking about, I apologize; hopefully my answer can still help you:

  • Perception - Think of this as your ego (its abundance or its lack); a big trait in public speaking/speech delivery in general is focusing solely on the topic of the speech. When you start worrying about the effectiveness of your delivery, that worry is recognizable and makes you less authentic.
  • Perfection - "Perfection" is kinda the same thing, with emphasis on not over-thinking the small mistakes you might make.
  • Visualization - If your audience can't visualize the ideas you're presenting, they'll quickly lose interest/get lost.  
  • Discipline - Practicing/experience (obviously) makes you a better, calmer presenter.
  • Description - Methods like "painting pictures" in your audience's heads/using rhetorical appeals to build a solid foundation for your claims is super important.  
  • Inspiration - Speak to inspire, not to aimlessly stuff your audience with weak, boring, cliche ideas.
  • Anticipation - Try to withhold key ideas for a little bit/linger on other information to create the feeling of suspense; when you create long-lasting interest, you become a more memorable speaker.

Hopefully I was of some help!

In which sentence is all punctuation correct?
k0ka [10]

The correct answer is the last option - “Most people,” I told him, “believe anything they hear on television or see on the Web.”


First of all, there has to be a comma after people. That comma is followed by quotation marks. Then you have the rest of the sentence (I told him), followed by another comma (before another quotation marks.) And finally, there has to be a period within the quote, before the final quotation marks.

Ever notice that many stories seem to have a similar pattern? There’s always a protagonist who goes on an adventure, makes new friends, encounters roadblocks, fights a bad guy, and returns home a changed person. In fact, we can sum it up for you in two words: Hero’s Journey.
