Answer: get Berniece to play the piano

Explanation:

Berniece doesn´t want to play the piano, which represents their tragic past. She claims to be afraid of awakening the spirits of her ancestors.

But when Sutter’s ghost attacks her brother, she overcomes her fear and releases her ancestors´ spirits by playing the piano to defeat the ghost.

Wilson uses the supernatural element to allow Berniece to stop making excuses for her despair and anguish, so she can bury the past and move on with her life.

Describe the say It, Cover It, Resay It Method?
Alexxx [7]

It’s actually a kind of routine that a person can use “to help students express their understandings of an unfamiliar word’s meaning. Have students read a chunk of text containing the unfamiliar word, then cover it with a hand or piece of paper, and resay what the word means in their own words”. Like mentioned in Kipp

Label the rhyme scheme of the poem, beginning with a.
V125BC [204]
<span>abba abba cdcdcd

This is a traditional Petrarchan Sonnet Rhyme Scheme, and even though not all lines are perfect rhymes, they are close enough.
For example the rhymes for lines 1, 4, 5, and 8 are borne, worn, turn, forlorn. "turn" is not a perfect rhyme with the 'orn' sound, but it fits in well enough to fill out the rhyme scheme. </span>

How could you decipher a passage written in another language
mr_godi [17]
You have two options depending on context:

1) If it's a quick exchange and can be figured out in context, put the foreign language in italics.

"As-tu le livre?"

"Yes, I have the book here."

or inline:

"You filthy p'taQ!" B'Elanna snarled.

2) If it's a quick exchange without context, put the translation afterwards and italicize that.

"Pour ma peine, ma punition, je tourne en rond," he sighed. For my pain, for my punishment, I pace in circles. Now Picard understood.

inline:

"Qa'pla!" Successs! the Klingon shouted.

In any case, I would not have more than one or two exchanges in a foreign language. Either use a tag like "she said in French" so the reader realizes the characters aren't speaking English, or note in narration "they discussed the matter in French for some time, but as Malcolm didn't speak the language, he had to wait for a translation."

S_A_V [24]

I'm a prisoner on the ground

With no one to stand around

People come and go

And I yell out with a moan

"Please help me

I need to be free"

But no one looks at me

For even one bit

Next thing I know

I start to get hit

I yell out loud

Out into the crowd

"Help me! Please!"

But they back away

And so I say,

"I don't have a disease!"

One moment later

The traitor comes out

And that's when I start to shout

"Traitor! Traitor! You betrayed me! Even when I was in need!"

But he just stayed still

And wouldn't move until

The guards push him away

And that's when he started to sway

Side to side he went

All the while looking content

I couldn't believe my eyes

Everything he told me were lies

I started to rise

To start to go

And wouldn't you know

He held me by the arm

Said, "I don't want to do you any harm."

The last thing I remembered

Was that he got dismembered.

I   dont have  a drawing but look up prisoner on ground with guards around
