I read this short story once... since the main character and her brother are super poor but don't realize it, the mood is ignorant, wistful, and sad. it's also kinda reminiscent because the author is telling the story of her childhood as an adult
<span />
The subject of the poem is life. When you look at it in depth, its entirety is a metaphor for the passing of life. Nature's first green is gold (the birth of a child, or new life), her hardest hue to hold (innocence passes fast with life, no matter how hard we try to hold on to it). Her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour (again with the quick passing of time for life.) The leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief (death at the end of someone's life and the mourning that comes with it, if only a second to the hour of life), so dawn goes down to day (mourning is over, and the days continue after that someone passes and everyone has mourned). Nothing gold can stay (life is valuable, like gold, and vanishes much in the same way).
Answer:
What kind of information is the author talking about?
What does the word "commodity" mean?
What role does digital information play in society?
Explanation:
When reading a text, it is common for the reader to find sentences that make it difficult for him to understand the text and the subject conveyed by it. In this case, it is important that the reader asks questions about this sentence or about the text, to be able to demystify the sentence and understand the subject presented more effectively. An example of this can be seen in the text above, where the reader can ask the three questions selected above, to understand the sentence "information is the most valuable commodity." These questions are not only able to associate the term "information" as something of high value in our current society, but are also able to present how the internet was and continues to be an influencing factor in this system that causes the elevation of information as a commodity.
But Percy is terrified to be diving 600 feet, straight into the muddy waters of the Mississippi River.
The river catches Percy comfortably.
His chimera bite heals, and he feels the venom leaving him.
He realizes that he is completely dry, even though he's underwater. He also realizes that he can light a cigarette lighter underwater. Cooool.
Everything he touches becomes dry.
He also realizes that he is breathing. Underwater.
Percy hears his mom's voice in his head urging him to remember his manners, so he thanks his dad for helping him.
Percy sees Riptide in the muddy river bottom near him.
A voice says, "Percy, take the sword. Your father believes in you" (14.20).
He sees a spirit in the water. She is the color of water, and she has green eyes.
The water spirit tells Percy she is simply a messenger. She says that his mom's "fate is not as hopeless as you believe," and tells him to go to the Santa Monica beach when he reaches Los Angeles (14.24).
The water spirit messenger calls Percy "brave one" and repeats that he must go to the beach in Santa Monica. As she's leaving, she warns him not to trust any gifts.
Percy surfaces to find chaos all around him: "every emergency vehicle in St. Louis was surrounding the Arch. Police helicopters circled overhead. The crowd of onlookers reminded me of Times Square on New Year's Eve" (14.40).
Percy keeps a low profile and hooks up with Grover and Annabeth.
News reporters are reporting that Percy Jackson caused the explosion on the top of the Arch. He is now a fugitive of the law.
The three head back to their Amtrak train, which is due to depart for Denver very soon.
