Serena was excited about the pool party she was hosting that afternoon. She was so glad that when her family had moved six month

s ago, her parents had finally agreed to buy this house. They hadn’t wanted a pool, but Serena had finally convinced them by promising to do all the work.
For a while, she had. She learned to run the pump and filter and to test the pool water for pH range and chlorine levels. Every day, she skimmed bugs and leaves out of the water. Once a week, she scrubbed the walls with a pool brush and cleaner. Lately, however, she’d been so busy with schoolwork and babysitting that she’d neglected her pool duties.



Serena grabbed the skimmer basket in preparation for cleaning the pool. Then she froze. She immediately noticed that the water looked cloudy. But when she looked more closely, there were large greenish patches here and there. Serena knew what that meant. Algae was growing rapidly. No one would be swimming in the pool today.



Disappointed in herself, Serena slogged back into the house. She had a lot to do: confess to her parents, give her friends the bad news, and start researching how to get rid of algae.

How can you use modifiers effectively within sentences?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Modifiers in a sentence should generally be placed as close to the noun, word, or phrase they're intended to modify. Misplaced modifiers can cause confusion (or sometimes a good laugh) when they're placed too far from the noun they're modifying.

1. What characteristics do narrative poems share with short stories? Give examples of these characteristics in "The Highwayman"
Arisa [49]
<span> Characteristics of narrative poems:

They both relate to personal experience and are both frequently told from 1st person perspective
A narrative poem is one that tells a story. It follows a similar structure as that for a short story or novel. There is a beginning, a middle and an end, as well as the usual literary devices such as character and plot.

Now look at the poem and see how it mtaches the above characterictics.

"the effect of figurative language and the relationship between the poem's mood and its language, setting, and content."

"Here is a website that tells more about the different types of figurative language:
http://www.orangeusd.k12.ca.us/yorba/fig...

<<Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else, you are using figurative language, that is, any language that goes beyond the literal meaning of words in order to furnish new effects or fresh insights into an idea or a subject. The most common figures of speech are simile, metaphor, and alliteration.>>

This poem is full of figurative language throughout. For example, the first three lines of the poem are metaphors:

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, " quote
