The correct answer is D. Personification and enjambement

Explanation:

In poetry, there are different techniques poets usually use for stylistic purposes this includes the rhyme, the onomatopoeia, the alliteration, the simile, the personification, among others. In the case of personification, this technique occurs when objects, plants, animals or entities that are not humans are given human features or are represented as people. In the verses from the poem "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde this can be seen in "and my skin has betrayed me" because the skin is an inanimate object that has been given the action of betrayal which is somehow exclusive from people.

On the other hand, enjambment which is another poetry technique occurs when the verses do not end at the end of a complete idea, which means in poems with enjambement one idea is developed through multiple verses. This device can also be found in the poem by Audre Lorde as the idea "I am fourteen/and my skin has betrayed me" is divided into verses and the idea "the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret" is divided into three verses. Therefore, in this poem, the techniques illustrated are personification and enjambement.

Five paragraph essay on should teens be allowed to skip school
Assoli18 [71]
U better thank me (: I did this essay before

       Not only can skipping school have a toll on your academics, but it can damage your personal life, too. Some activities that students take part in while they are skipping class can be deadly. Studies have shown that kids can become involved in drugs, alcohol, gangs, vandalism and more, of which none result in a positive outcome. For instance, in Florida two years ago, three high school students decided to skip the last day of school and go down to the beach. On their way, they were in a car accident and all were killed. Going through one more day of school could have saved their lives.

Skipping school determines your everyday life but has just as big of an impact on your future. Missing important lessons on school can lead to missing questions on major tests like the HSPE or SAT/ACT. Also, being involved in some of the activities I listed above while skipping school can lead to suspension, expulsion, or even jail. Going to school will keep you safer and makes your resume and future applications look much better.

In brief, skipping school has more negative than positive sides. Teachers and students should not allow anyone to miss out on school and then come back with no consequences. There should be a certain number of “sick days” that a person is allowed before suspension or possible expulsion comes into place. In my opinion, it should be school every day or no school at all. Whatever one you choose is your decision, but consider your future before you turn off the alarm clock.

What question does the central or main ideas of a text answer for a reader?
kompoz [17]

Answer:Hope This Helps Have A Nice Day/Night :)

Explanation:

(1)The main idea is the central point or thought the author wants to communicate to readers. The main idea answers the question, “What does the author want me to know about the topic?” or “What is the author teaching me?” Often the author states the main idea in a single sentence.

(2) It is easy to identify a main idea that is directly expressed in the text. Main ideas are often found at the beginning of paragraphs. The first sentence often explains the subject being discussed in the passage. Main ideas are also found in the concluding sentences of a paragraph.
