The answer is A. The poem has a dark and somewhat pessimistic feel, saying that only the bad of heart have ambition and the good of mind and heart lack the passion and ambition. As well as the phrase "innocence drowned" this shows a more morbid tone.

Paraphrase the following lines from Thoreau's Walden:
Elis [28]

Answer:

When Thoreau says <em>superfluous wealth</em> he refers to money that is not needed or there is more of it than enough and that with all that money can be bought just things that we do not need. Those things make us blind for what should be really important in life. As he goes on in the second sentence -  we can have money, but we can not buy what our soul needs. Life can be experienced far more fully when living simply.

Which is a line of dialogue?
Alex
Your first option, "I have taken all the stress I can stand.", is a line of dialogue.

Dialogue is speaking/talking. The second and last options cannot be examples of dialogue because they are not being spoken (you can tell by the lack of quotation marks).The third option is also incorrect because it is what is written, as it says "the study reported" (the study does not speak). Therefore, the first option is correct.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

In Things Fall Apart and in his later novels, Achebe wanted to counter demeaning and incorrect stereotypes of his people and Eurocentric presentations of the confrontation between the Ibo of Nigeria and the British intruders. In his novels, Achebe admits, he strives for artistic excellence but also wants to give a message. Just as the oral tradition of the Ibo people served their society by sustaining its values, so the modern Ibo, writing in English, should serve Ibo society.  *PLEASE WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS*!

The author's claim is that media reports on violence and mayhem lead people to think the world is getting worse.
