Prison because I have a friend who goes there
This is definetly a tricky one, but you have to go back to the definition and meaning of 'theme.' A theme is the life lesson of a story or any other form of writing, movies, etc. So, I am not 100% on this, so I will say why I think for each answer. A; I definetly do not think it is A. B; doesn't sound right for me because even though the person in the poem is waiting for the bloom, he/she isn't talking just about waiting, he/she is talking about the time that is going by. C; It sounds like the cherry blossoms may bloom every year, but its not completely clear and doesn't fully match a theme. D; It sounds like the man/women is contemplating the life they have lived through seeing the cherry blossom for years. So I would say the and answer is D since that makes the most sense to me. Hope this helps! :)
Hello!
The verb in this sentence is "became" as it indicates the action of the subject (the defendant), which is what he/she did.
Hope this helps!
In O'Brien's excerpt those sentences are: <span>In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. This sentence evokes a bodily reaction and calls it "the reality". It is not just imagined; it really happens. </span><span>I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. It's as if his body has its own way of processing the distressing information. He feels a very specific kind of nausea, triggered by his mental processes.
In Steinbeck's excerpt it's these sentences: </span><span>In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. They describe a very physical reaction, which is a product of emotional distress. It's as if the body is trying to defend the whole system from detrimental factors.</span>
