Answer:
Authorial Intent is the idea that maintains that the person who writes a text has a privileged way to understand its meaning and that because of this, any other way in which said text is interpreted and that contradicts this understanding must conform to the author's intentions.
John Green's opinion on authorial intent is that he thinks it is irrelevant and sees the authors as a character more from the book. He supports those who oppose this thinking.
Answer:
A (the first answer)
Explanation:
The main idea of this paragraph is that the students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who
must choose their wardrobes. So, the author is FOR mandatory uniform policies
With this information, we want evidence that supports the main idea.
Option B is just a statement that explains how if parents want to exempt their children from uniforms, they need to talk to the administration.
Option C is just a statistic that states the number of students that had uniforms.
And Option D is, again, just a statement that doesn't support the main idea.
So the correct answer is A.
The house in "The Deserted House" is a metaphor for a dead body or dead person.
The poem opens with "life and thought have gone away" speaking of a person who has died and no longer has life or thoughts. It continues in Lines 1-3 describing the emptiness of the house, showing the stillness and emptiness of death.
In Line 4 "The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground." refers to a body being buried, similar to the common funeral phrase "from dust to dust"
Line 5 refers to the person in Heaven- "in a city glorious-- A great and distant city--have bought A mansion incorruptible." Incorruptible in this line means everlasting or unable to decay, showing that the person, (the "mansion") will stay there forever.
The poem ends with "Would they could have stayed with us!" in reference to the person who has died-wishing they had not "moved" to heaven and instead could have stayed alive.
Answer:
<h3>it had such a great appeal that drove her crazy.</h3><h3 />
Explanation:
The author uses the phrase "killing power" to describe the eyes of her secret love because<u> it had such a great appeal that drove her crazy</u>. It made her feel <u>light-headed and dizzy making her almost fall into the ground.</u>
The author always felt that her secret lover had the most mesmerizing eyes and when he looked straight across the room and into her eyes, she became <u>breathless. </u>
Thus, the phrase "killing power" helps in expressing how she felt when her secret lover looked straight into her eyes.
