Answer: E) Death is a dignitary who when he comes announces is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him.

Explanation:

Personification is a type of figurative language in which human traits are given to something that is not human. Objects are given emotions, desires, speech, gestures, etc.

In <em>An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge</em>, Ambrose Bierce gives human qualities to death. In this excerpt, death performs the action of announcing, and is referred to as 'he'. Death is personified as a <em>dignitary</em> - someone who receives respect.

Oh captain my captain lines 5-8 can best be summarized as
Phantasy [73]

<span>But O heart! heart! heart!
   O the bleeding drops of red,
      Where on the deck my Captain lies,
         Fallen cold and dead.</span>

<span>The sailor calls out again, but this time it isn’t for the captain.He belts out the word “heart,” and this could mean that he is shouting out a) to his captain to keep heart, as in not to give up, or b) to his own heart, as if in pain. <span>We think you can read this either way. If you read it the first way, with the heart representing the captain’s will, then you’re dealing with a symbol, as some part of the captain is used to represent an abstract quality (his will or courage).</span><span>If you read it the second way, though, and think the speaker is calling out to his own heart, then you’ve got an apostrophe on your hands, friend-o. This is a call to an abstract thing that can’t possibly answer back. It’s a cliché to speak from the heart, but, really, hearts have no mouths, so they don’t speak very well.</span>When you think heart, though, you do think blood. It turns out that there is a lot of it here.<span>All of a sudden, drops of blood are on the deck of the ship, and the speaker notices that his captain is dead. </span></span>

Write two paragraphs about Racism.​
Eduardwww [97]

This issue of racism is popular by name but tends to be sugar coated by the way people see it. In order to truly understand racism you need to take a bite into the topic in order to get a taste of what it is really like. Racism comes in many different forms and can be seen many different ways. But why even care about racism at all? Why does it even matter? One would think that with such a harsh background regarding racism in America it would no longer exist in society today. But sadly that is not the case here, racism continues to show up all over the country sometimes being worse than others but still racism is racism.

People should all be considered equal regardless of what they look like, talk like, or even do that makes them who they are. Not only is racism wrong and makes people feel terrible about whom they are but it makes the person being racist look even worse. Racism is something that is completely rude and ignorant to do to a group of people. One does not choose if they are White, Black, Asian, or anything. It’s something that you are born as and to be mocked and made fun of for that is just ridiculous. Without all these different types of people and everyone trying to come together for a single goal we may not be able to discover new things and advance our society
