Chrysanthemums are the central symbol of life, vital energies, sexuality in the story. Just like Elisa herself, they need nurturing and attendance. She lives a boring and unfulfilled life in a dull, loveless marriage, and she has never had a chance of finding her true self, except in the garden.

That is why she commits to gardening so eagerly: because she couldn't bear to see those flowers withered. At the end of the story, she sees her chrysanthemums on the road, thrown away, "a dark speck" as Steinbeck says. They are wasted, just like Elisa's life, love, and happiness.

I really like the character of Charles in the short story "Charles" by Shirley Jackson. She's a really famous author. He's sneaky and totally fools his parents so that they end up looking stupid at the parent teacher conference.

Answer:

Answer:Blind street is one of the subjects shows the road's impasse area and its bluntness. Dublin's North Richmond Street is an impasse in the story and, all things considered. Joyce proposes with "Araby" that the young men playing in the road are going no place. They will grow up to live in the equivalent grim Dublin, with its troubling climate, horrid individuals, and dreary houses.

Answer: Fragment (missing predicate)

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is a sentence that is missing either its subject or its main verb.

The answer to this one is D. This is because the sentence does not have a predicate. A sentence's predicate describes what is happening. A sentence is considered a fragment if it lacks a predicate. Consider the following example:

<em>My cousin Fred.</em>

We know Fred is the subject of this phrase, but we have no idea what he's up to. As a result, this isn't a complete sentence.

As "three fish and a turtle" has 2 subjects, the three fish and the turtle, but no predicate to show what they're doing, the sentence is a fragment missing a predicate.
