Where are the choices? it says "which sentence correctly combines" but there are no choices.
What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?
Answer: It is <u>an allusion</u>.
Explanation:
As a figure of speech, an allusion is a brief reference to an event, person, place or idea. This reference does not include a detailed description. In the first stanza of “Monet’s Waterlilies”
, Robert Hayden makes a quick allusion to the civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, which took place in 1965:
<em>"Today as the news from Selma and Saigon</em>
<em>poisons the air like fallout"</em>
How does this example of figurative language affect the last line of the stanza?
Answer: It sets up contrast.
Explanation:
In the last line of the stanza, the author mentions<em> "the serene, great picture" </em>that he loves. This is in direct contrast with the first line of the stanza, where he describes a disturbing event in which people who protested in peace were attacked by police. This picture looks like anything but serene - the word serene means untroubled and peaceful, and serves as a direct contrast to the scene from the first line.
The behavior of the students ,the schedule, the rules that the students are not follow and what !akes the reputation of the school grows down
Dear Mayor Levine,
We send our children to school so that they can learn the
skills that they need to prepare them for the challenges of life. In order to make this possible, we want them
to learn in an environment that is safe and secure. We truly believe that this
encourages them to learn and take part in school activities.
Lately, however, we are now troubled by reports that there
many unruly students who cause trouble for the school and other students as
well. What is more alarming is that many
of them are carrying concealed weapons and we are afraid that our children’s
lives will be at risk.
We urgently request
that your office to do something about this problem. We are worried about the
safety and welfare of our children is now at risk because of these recent
developments. We will be happy to work
with you in creating a safe in environment for our children to learn in school.
Thank you and God Bless!
Very Truly Yours,
John Doe
