Answer:

Leafing—a gardener tends plants that have leaves

Explanation:

A landscape can be Urban as well, but plants do tend to have leafs. It's a noticeably odd choice of words and it has a purpose. There's no pun in the use of the words "Enjoy" and "Magazine". But the word leaf can mean two things that relate to the gardener and his action in the excerpt:

<em>"a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk"</em>

or

<em>"turn over (the pages of a book or the papers in a pile), reading them quickly or casually"</em>

What’s a good introduction to an argumentative essay about lowering the voting age to 16?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Should the American government  allow people to vote at the age of 16 or not? Well my opinion on that is this: When you have a group of people with different opinions and judgments, allowing power among st all of them is not a good idea. There needs to be a higher power to take control. With that being said, in my opinion, early age voting is not a good idea. One of the many reasons is because, the brain does not completely develop until the age of 18, and for males it takes longer. People say that you make decisions when you are a teenager, and when you get older you regret them. It is very true, no I do not think that early age voting is a very good idea, especially with the way the world is going. It's going to take a bigger and  wiser person to bring us out of the deep hole  that We The People have dug ourselves into.

6. Is Dee wholly unsympathetic? Is the mother's victory over her altogether
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Dee is not wholly unsympathetic as she plays a character which gives voice to the Black Power Movement. She tries to preserve the family items.

Mothers Victory is not wholly positive as she stood up for one of her daughter and this may have resulted in loss of the other daughter.

The final scene between mother and daughter is very emotional and the moment is not ambivalence as Maggie is happy for what her mother did, her mother helped her in enhancing her self esteem and the moment is shared happily between mother and daughter.

Different literary forms tend to rely on different elements to express theme. How might a fairy tale express theme differently t
Igoryamba

Answer:

A.The fairy tale would rely more on plot events to express theme while the poem would emphasize key images or repeat key words or phrases.

Explanation:

A theme is the central message an article or literary work is trying to pass across.

A fairy tale is typically a story that involves magic and imaginary stuff that is usually written for children.

A poem on the other hand is a piece of literature that expresses ideas, thoughts and feelings with the use of literary devices for heightened effect.

Therefore, a fairy tale might express theme differently from a poem by using plot events to display theme while a poem would likely employ literary devices such as repetition, or emphasis on key images.
