Which lines in this excerpt from W.B. Yeats's "Easter, 1916" suggest that his response to the Easter Rising goes beyond personal

animosity?
(That woman's days were spent
In ignorant good-will,
Her nights in argument
Until her voice grew shrill)

What voice more sweet than hers
When, young and beautiful,
She rode to harriers?

(This man had kept a school
And rode our wingèd horse;)

This other his helper and friend
Was coming into his force;

(He might have won fame in the end,
So sensitive his nature seemed,
So daring and sweet his thought)

This other man I had dreamed
A drunken, vainglorious lout.

(He had done most bitter wrong
To some who are near my heart,
Yet I number him in the song;)

He, too, has resigned his part
In the casual comedy;
He, too, has been changed in his turn,
Transformed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.

one of the answers are in the parenthesis, this is a Plato question

Answer:

He had done most bitter wrong  

To some who are near my heart,  

Yet I number him in the song;  

Explanation:

In this excerpt of his poem "Easter, 1916", William B. Yeats mentions the people he knew who were among the revolutionaries in the Easter Rising. The Easter Rising took place in Dublin, Ireland, on Easter Monday in 1916. A group of leaders and revolutionaries occupied government buildings and proclaimed Ireland as a Republic independent from England.  Unfortunately, those people ended up being killed.

Yeats mentions, among others, his enemy John MacBride. He talks of John as being a " drunken, vainglorious lout." It is said that, throughout his life, Yeats was in love with the woman MacBride married and, allegedly, physically abused. Even though Yeats has his reasons to hate this man, he numbers (mentions) him in the song. MacBride too fought for independence, and died for doing so. Yeats acknowledges his courage and leaves personal animosity aside to give him the credit he deserves.

Which element would be most important to a short story about three men attempting to break out of jail? characterization languag
PIT_PIT [208]
Whereas everything here is very important to a short story, and a combination of those would be perfect, I'd say that for such a story 'plot' is the most important element. Because you need an interesting story, and you need to explain how they are going to escape the jail.

Ompare the presentations about desalination in the two passages.
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

"Some Simple Water Science" differs from "Water For The World" because the passage describes the desalination process, while the other one discusses how desalination can help solve the water crisis.

"Water For The World" says that water is important because it is needed for survival, and it is also needed to grow plants and crops. Both sources touch on how fresh water is becoming more and more limited for the growing population.

According to mercutio, what is one reason the benvolio has been ina fight before?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

According to Mercutio, Benvolio was a short-tempered man who instigates a fight.

Explanation:

Mercutio and Benvolio were the best friends of Romeo in the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare.

In <u>Act 3, Scene 1,</u> Mercutio accused Benvolio of being a short-tempered person. He said that if two people like Benvolio would get into fight, none of them would survive as they both would each other.

<u>This accusation of Mercutio is ironical as Benvolio is characterized as a peace-maker since the beginning of the play and it is him who would get easily instigated with small things. Even in this scene, it was Mercutio who was instigated by the comments of Tybalt which kindled the fight between Capulets and Montagues</u>.
