What does the speaker mean when he compares humans to trees?

English

prohojiy [21]4 years ago

The speaker meant to suggest that humans, like trees, must give freely to thrive when he compares humans to trees.  

Answer: B

Explanation

This is based on an excerpt taken from the poem 'The Prophet'.

This is written by Khalil Gibran in 1923.

The poem talks about love, religion, giving, work, marriage, etc.

On talking about giving, the speaker compares to trees as every tree gives its fruits to people and when a tree stops giving, it indicates that the tree is dead.

Likewise, humans are responsible to give to others.

Which is NOT one of the steps you should take when summarizing information from a source?
g100num [7]
The answer is the last choice, or D.

When you summarize, you're supposed to gather the most important points and rewrite them in a shorter and more simplified fashion. The first three choices include mostly everything you should do when writing a summary. Usually when you summarize, it's for a concluding paragraph, so writing an introductory paragraph wouldn't be it.

In To Kill A Mockingbird chapter 7 Jem has two watches: the one from the tree and the one from his father. What kinds of symbols
Ugo [173]

Answer: The two watches symbolize the children's connection with both their father and Boo Radley. Moreover, the watch that Atticus gives to Jem is an attempt to establish trust between a father and a son.

 

Explanation:

The story of <em>"To Kill a Mockingbird"</em> is centered around the Finch family, which consists of a father, Atticus, and his two children, Jem and Scout. In the fictional town of Maycomb where they live, rumors are circulating about a mysterious neighbor who never leaves his house, Boo Radley. Having heard these stories, the children are afraid of him, but it later turns out that he is a kind person who helps Scout and Jem when they are attacked.

Radley leaves various presents for Scout and Jem in a tree, among which is the watch. This is his way to connect with the children and prove them that he is trustworthy, since he cannot approach them directly due to all the rumors surrounding him. Similarly, Atticus gives Jem the pocket watch that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Finch family. With this gift, Atticus shows him that he trusts him enough to give him this family treasure. This present indicates that Jem has grown up and matured.

2. <u>from a pyramid of tins:</u> the term "pyramid of tins" would have brought to mind a description of the size of the tins, just as how a natural pyramid looks magnificent.
