Answer: The comparison between the human heart and the setting sun.

Explanation:

<em>"A Hymn to the Evening"</em> is a poem by Phillis Wheatley, an African American poet who ended up as a slave when she was only 12 years old.

The speaker in the poem compares the human heart to the beautiful sunset. She is convinced that this stunning sunset was created by God. Therefore, she wants to show her love for God by taking on the "glow" of the evening sunset. The poem was written based on her own experience as a slave. She would work during the whole day. In the evening, she would be allowed to rest, which explains the positive connotation of the sunset in this poem.

What evidence from the January 15, 1944 diary entry suggests that there is increasing tension among the residents of the Annex?
Stels [109]

Hello. You forgot to mention that this book is about "Anne Frank's diary".

Answer:

The message about Ms. Van Daan being jealous of the birthday gift Ms. Frank received and the message about her Frank family not being able to stand the Van Daan anymore.

Explanation:

The January 15, 1944 entry from Diario de Anne, shows that there were tensions between the Frank family and the Van Daan family.

Anne shows in this entry that Mrs. Van Daan was jealous because Ms. Frank won sugar on her birthday. That's because Ms. Van Daan didn't get such a precious gift for her birthday. Anne says that in order to contain tensions, the two families are sharing many things, because there is no point in attacking each other, but Anne says that the Franks can no longer support sharing the same space with the Van Daan, but that the war continues , so they have nothing to do but live together.

Arturiano [62]

Foster states that "The fact is that we can only love what we know personally" and adds that Tolerance "merely means putting up with people, being able to stand things." It has always been human condition to succumb to feelings of love for an activity, family, a significant other and reject what requires tolerance to the new or the unknown. Foster stands up for tolerance as the means of reconstructing and which might unite races and peoples from the world. Love is enjoying people, things, places, a pleasant state. Tolerance, on the contrary, is to try to love what you do not like. There are many an example or situation in our daily life. Foster says that tolerance is wanted in the queue, at the telephone, perhaps when the boy nobody likes in class participates and expresses his opinion. The attempt to tolerate people can make a meaningful difference.
