Answer:
In lines 10–11 the speaker is referring to the importance of interpreting what is being read. On lines 20–21, the speaker shows that reading interpretation promotes knowledge and that knowledge is often a handicap for the soul.
Explanation:
In lines 10–11 the speaker is referring to the need that people have to interpret and understand what is being read, this is because if a person just reads, he is stuck with earthly life, he is limited to an environment, contained. However, the interpretation of reading makes the individual see beyond words and let go of this limitation.
However, once the reading has been interpreted, the individual gains knowledge, becomes detached from ignorance and is able to see things he did not see before. The problem is that this is often a disadvantage, showing that ignorance was a paradise, which was lost with the arrival of knowledge. This can be seen on lines 20–21.
Answer:
1 and 2 are the dependent clauses
Explanation:
If someone wrote you a letter that just had "Mrs. Basel, Mrs. Bates, and Mrs. Wonders" on it, you'd be pretty confused at what message they were trying to convey, same with "Are pretty legit teachers." However, if you received a letter with just "I love ELA!" or "Reading makes me happy" on it, you'd understand the message just fine. 3 and 4 can be spoken normally on their own; however, 1 and 2 need another clause to make sense.
<span>There is a
central idea/theme within “Embers of Moonlight” of dying. This is first evidenced within the title with
the word “embers.” Embers are the pieces
of fire (wood/coal) that are burning out, yet they still have fire within
them. The author discusses the dying of
the moon—something that can appear to some to be immortal—and with that can be
said to communicate the idea or theme that everything goes through the phases
of life and will eventually die. </span>
