In an essay discuss the way in which Naomi Shihab Nye treats loneliness in "The Rider" What does loneliness mean to the speaker?

How does bicycling help her leave her loneliness behind? Cite passages from the poem to support your points.
The Rider

Naomi Shihab Nye



A boy told me
if he rollerskated fast enough
his loneliness couldn't catch up to him,



the best reason I ever heard
5 for trying to be a champion.



What I wonder tonight
pedaling hard down King William Street
is if it translates to bicycles.



A victory! To leave your loneliness
10 panting behind you on some street corner
while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas,
luminous pink petals that have
never felt loneliness,
no matter how slowly they fell.

Loneliness means being sad, not having anyone to be with. As he was cycling down the road, he recalled what the roller skater said about skating fast enough to leave your loneliness behind. He wondered if this could also be done by cycling, he found out immediately that this method works. As he pedaled on, he realized he was happy. 


I hope this helps :)

Which is the best behavior style to use in conflict situations
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Companies today are expanding the role of teams in the workplace in an effort to empower employees and improve organizational effectiveness. The more we try to work as a team, the more important it becomes to recognize that people exhibit different behavioral styles. I use the term “behavioral style”, purposely avoiding the terms “personality” or “attitude”, because unless we are psychiatrists or psychologists, we are not qualified to evaluate such things. All that we can see and deal with is a person’s behavior.

There are four major behavioral styles: analytical, amiable, driver and expressive. Please note that I am using an extreme simplification of each particular style. It is doubtful that all people of a particular behavioral style exhibit all of the characteristics portrayed.

As sugar planters fled from the revolution in Haiti, some moved to Cuba's Oriente Province, others to North America—to Louisiana
kherson [118]

According to the excerpt, it can be inferred that the sentence that supports the idea that sugar was more than just a killer in Louisiana is option 4. "people needed..."

<h3>What does the word Killer mean in the snippet?</h3>

According to the context described in the fragment, reference is made to the fact that sugar in Louisiana was affected by the weather, so the slaves were required to perform faster at the rate of the mills to prevent the crop from being damaged with the cold.

From the above, it can be inferred that this characteristic of the climate and the cultivation of sugar was a difficulty for the lives of the slaves who had to demand too much of themselves to work at full speed.

Note: This question is incomplete because the question and the options are missing. Here is the complete information:

Which line from the passage best provides evidence to support the claim that sugar was more of "a killer" in Louisiana than in the Caribbean?

  1. "In every single American slave state, the population of enslaved people kept rising. . . ."
  2. ". . . enough enslaved children were born, lived, and grew to become adults."
  3. "not only did the slave states need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with the grinding mills. . . ."
  4. "people needed to work faster than the weather. . . ."
