Answer:

The correct answer is option D) show that nature can be harsh and unfeeling.

Explanation:

At the end of the fourth stanza of the poem <em>Sea Lullaby</em> written by <em>Elinor Wylie</em>, the phrase "for a joke" refers to the fact that nature has no regrets for that murdered child. As if it were a joke for her. <em>"She choked him and beat him to death, for a joke." </em>

The sea, in all its greatness dragged him and hit him with its waves.

Another form of insensitivity is when the author says <em>"Now in silence she lingers, Beside him all night, To wash her long fingers, In silvery light.”. </em>

31pts List 3 pages of notes based on George washington will give brainliest and 100 more points later
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

George Washington was a Great General,a Great Leader and a great first president.He proved loyal in all of his ways and always he did what was needed.Although he had fake teeth.

George Washington was a great General.When he went into war,he always went in and never stopped until his side if the team won.Although he might have had a few losses of war.George Washington would clearly be a very good general because of his leadership position.But not just because of his position,but because of how he acted.

George Washington became a great leader in many ways.George Washington was the kind that didn't care too much about what he was or what he looked like.He proved a good leader for his people because he didn't care about himself .He cared for other people,their freedom and such as.

George Washington was a great first president too!He was a role model for other presidents too!George was the one who thought of the name "president".So it occurs that he might have had a lot of great ideas or he might have not .Either way it doesn't really matter,George Washington was a great first role model.

And about those dental teeth................................................................

George Washington lost his teeth when he was young due to either bad diet or a disease.It wasn't very easy to keep your teeth at such a old time.About the time when he almost died,he had only one tooth left in his mouth!!So pretty obviously he wore dentures.Hard Dentures.

General President Leader Washington was a good leader no matter his name.
