Answer:

Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for his yearbook staff.

Explanation:

Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences. Pronouns that express ownership are called possessive pronouns. They include pronouns my, mine, our, ours, its, his, her, hers, their, theirs, your and yours.

When we want to express something that belongs to a female, we say that something is her/hers. When something belongs to a male, it is his. In the given sentence, the subject is a man (Mr., or Mister Thompson), so the appropriate possessive pronoun is his: Mr. Thompson is now accepting applications for his yearbook staff. Had the subject been a female (e.g. Mrs. Thompson), the sentence would've been correct.

What does young Langston Hughes expect to happen at the revival? What happens instead?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

He expected to be saved but instead he lost his faith

Explanation:

Young langston went to the church revival with his aunt with the hope that he would encounter Christ. But instead his experience ended up making him change his belief system spiritually.

The story shows disappointment, as hughes had to lie about his feelings and truth to everyone. This childhood event changed his life forever. After waiting for a long time in the church to see a light that signified he had been saved by Jesus, he did not and lied to everyone about it. This event made him lose trust that there was a Jesus.

Free_Kalibri [48]

In “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”, Flowers are spring flowers and Wordsworth uses them as a physical thing that refers to an idea or emotion for youth. It is romanticized but in old age the mind dwells mostly in the past, which the poet does at the end of the poem. Although on the nature of the poem it is in reality about growing old and having memories of youth.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The final stanza of "Annabel Lee" is as follows:

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,

In her sepulchre there by the sea—

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

As we can see, both stanzas depict a dream-like moment that is both romanticized, in terms of love, as well as somber, even macabre. Both excerpts convey the idea that the speaker's loved one is no longer here, but in an ethereal world, beyond this one. The speaker is somehow haunted by the memory of that person, eternally incapable of letting go, forever trapped by that love. That memory may cause them happiness as well as sorrow, but that is of no relevance. It is suffering anyway. Not being able to let go, not being able to move with their own lives, both speakers are destined to suffer.
