In this excerpt from Ingrid Jonker’s poem, “The child is not dead,” the “child” most likely refers to the struggle for freedom.
Jonker wrote her poem after going to the Philippi police station and seeing the body of a child who had been shot dead in his mother's arms by the police in the township of Nyanga in Cape Town. In 1960, 69 people were killed while marching to the police station to protest having to carry passbooks to travel in their own native country in Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg.
<em>The poem evokes the struggle and longing for freedom while being violently oppressed.</em>
Some of the ways to identify the meaning of a word based on the available context are:
- Read and understand the text/sentence
- Write out on a pad the original meaning of the word
- Read the particular sentence aloud where the word whose meaning you want to find
- For example, if your sentence that contains the word "mast" goes like this: "At his burial, the flag was flown at half-mast", you can directly infer that this is a sign of respect.
- With this in mind, you can see that the meaning of the word "mast" based on the context used means that a dead person is being honored and this is an upright post that a flag is attached to.
- Therefore, the meaning would be "an upright pole"

Answer:
The third on if I remember the test
Explanation:
Yes.
it is not possible under current U.S. law to copyright or protect an idea. (You also cannot copyright a title.) So, how much precaution should you take to keep your ideas secret?
Very little. I guarantee that others have similar ideas; you see it happen all the time in the business. Chalk it up to cultural zeitgeist. While I don’t advocate advertising your idea far and yon, or putting flashing lights around it on your blog, the chances that an agent, editor, critique partner, or stranger will:
(a) steal your idea
(b) execute your idea better than you
(c) AND be able to sell it
… are next to zero. It is not worth worrying about. Share your work with trusted advisers, send it to agents/editors for consideration, and talk about aspects of it on your blog. No problem. Unless you are known in the industry for coming up with million-dollar high concepts, it’s not likely you’ll experience idea theft.
Also, I love Jeanne Bowerman‘s take on this fear: Sure, someone can steal your idea, but they can’t possibly execute it or interpret it in the same way you can. No one can be you. That is your best protection of all.
