Zanzabum3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The first excerpt is an octave and the second is a sestet.

Explanation:

An octave is composed of eight lines, and a sestet has six. Counting the lines, the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost has eight, thus being an octave, and the excerpt  from "Hero and Leander" by Christopher Marlowe has six lines, meaning that is a sestet.

Do you believe John Proctor made the right decision when he chose to hang rather than give them his name? Why
stich3 [128]

Answer:

'God forbid I take it from him." John Proctor has made the right decision because he now sees that he is a good man again. He could not see it before and so he was unhappy, but now that he has regained his sense of his own goodness and integrity, he goes to his death with confidence and certainty of his worth.

What is the roman name hyperion
inn [45]

HYPERION was the Titan god of heavenly light, one of the sons of Ouranos (Uranus, Heaven) and Gaia (Gaea, Earth), and the father of the lights of heaven--Eos the Dawn, Helios the Sun, and Selene the Moon. His wife was Theia, lady of the aither--the shining blue of the sky. Hyperion's name means "watcher from above" or "he who goes above" from the greek words hyper and iôn.

Hyperion was one of four Titan brothers who conspired with Kronos (Cronus) to castrate and depose their father Ouranos. When Sky descended to lie with Earth, Hyperion, Krios (Crius), Koios (Coeus) and Iapetos (Iapetus)--posted at the four corners of the world--seized hold of their father and held him fast while Kronos castrated him with a sickle. In this myth these four Titanes (Titans) personify the great pillars holding heaven and earth apart or the entire cosmos aloft described in Near-Eastern cosmogonies. As the father of the sun and dawn, Hyperion was no doubt regarded as the Titan of the pillar of the east. His brothers Koios, Krios and Iapetos presided respectively over the north, south and west.

The Titanes (Titans) were eventually deposed by Zeus and cast into the pit of Tartaros (Tartarus). Hesiod describes this as a void located beneath the foundations of all, where earth, sea and sky have their roots. Here the Titanes shift in cosmological terms from being holders of heaven to bearers of the entire cosmos. According to Pindar and Aeschylus (in his lost play Prometheus Unbound) the Titanes were eventually released from the pit through the clemency of Zeus.

dusya [7]

Answer:

In "Sonata For Harp And Bicycle", teamwork was used by Jason and Miss. Golden to bring the ghosts of William Heron and Miss. Bell together and stopped the ghosts from disturbing Grimes Building. Jason and Miss. Golden collaborated and worked to achieve the feat.

Below is an excerpt that supports that teamwork was used:

<em>“Now we must run. You take the roses, sweetheart, and I’ll carry the bottles.”</em>

<em>Together they raced up eight flights of stairs and along the passages to Room 492.</em>

The ghost of William Heron, the watchman at Grimes Building has haunted the staff working in the building for fifty years. The reason was because Miss. Bell, the woman he wanted to propose to died on the night of the proposal.

The two ghosts disturbed the building and as a result, staff do not stay after 5 o'clock. When Jason discovered the menance the presence of the ghosts was causing, he agreed with Miss. Golden to bring the strange couples together. They successfully achieved it.

Explanation:

"Sonata For Harp & Bicycle" is a short story written by Joan Aiken, an English writer who specializes in supernatural fictions and children's history novels.

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130.”
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Like everyone, she walks on the ground.

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130", he praises his mistress and makes her seem larger than life with his descriptions and allusions. He seems enamoured to her and treats her almost like a rare piece of art.

In line 12 however, he talks about his mistress treading on the ground when she walks and the best paraphrase for that is like everyone, she walks on the ground.
