Define your American Dream. Explain any possible obstacles and adjustments you may have to make in order to achieve your dream i
Verizon [17]

Answer: I can't really give you an answer because I don't know your dream. But I'd say the TYPICAL American dream is to get a stable, good paying job, marry the person you love, have two kids, and live in a big nice house. The obstacles you would have to overcome are possibly school fees, working and getting along with people, raising your kids right. I'm not sure about the thesis and supporting details because like I said, not my dream. It's yours.

jok3333 [9.3K]

4. Alliteration was employed in the words- long and long.

3. The speaker wishes to live with the animals because they are 'placid and self contain'd' which means that they are calm and not easily upset. They are also contented and do not drag each other for worldly possessions.

Which creature walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?
NNADVOKAT [17]
A man (or a human to be politically correct). In Greek mythology, a monster in the city of Thebes called the Sphinx would ask this question to any passerby and if they couldn't answer it correctly, the Sphinx would eat him/her. In the morning, the man is a baby and he crawls on fours. In the afternoon, a man is grown and walks on two feet. In the evening, the man is old and requires a cane to walk. The man who solved this riddle was Oedipus who, upon solving it, caused the Sphinx to fling herself off a cliff and commit suicide.
