How does the poem’s use of language and free verse contribute to the author’s purpose? of the poem Mother To Son - by Langston H

The poem uses dialect to convey the tone and mood. It also uses refrain, "ain't been no crystal stair" as emphasis. It adds imagery to the reader, "splinters" "tacks" "boards torn up" "places with no carpet" and "bare" which rhymes with stair. After "and places with no carpet on the floor-"
"bare"
The "-" adds a pause, adds emphasis to the exasperation and gives the reader time to take a breath.
"I'se a been a-climbin on" shows strength in the face of hardship. It contributes to the author's purpose by conveying the tone and mood of a working class, black person facing struggles of poverty and misfortune.

i  would like to keep it short and simple.

A girl was walking  home one day from her work and she was quite late while  returning she saw some guys near the bus stop were staring at her and she was feeling uncomfortable so she increased her speed and her only goal was to reach home as soon as possible .

After a while she observed that the guys started following her and she was becoming more and more nervous so she ran and she safely reached at home.

So what do we understand from this story,girls in India are  not safe at all there are dome bad people out there who have wrong intention and we are helpless so girls have to be more caution and should take major steps for their safety.

Faber says he bears some responsibility for the dismal state of the world. What is the source of Faber’s guilt?
Basile [38]

https://www.gradesaver.com/fahrenheit-451/q-and-a/5-faber-says-he-bears-some-responsibility-for-the-dismal-state-of-the-world-what-is-the-source-of-fabers-guilt-do-you-share-his-opinion-or-think-that-hes-being-too-hard-on-himself-367101


the answer


if you can't see it the answer is

I believe that Faber's guilt stems from his cowardice. It is very easy to see that he is not brave, such as when Montag has to convince him to go to his printer friend and when he gives Montag the earpiece so that he is with him without actually being there. While he is one of the few intellectuals left in their society, I don't believe that he had much in the way of responsibility because they were fighting a losing battle. Even if he had done more, it ultimately would have done nothing because the minds of the mass would not have been swayed by one more mere voice.

Thus, his guilt stems from his inability to act, but he is being too hard on himself as there is only so much that one person can do, especially facing the odds that he did.

Which step in crafting a compare and contrast essay helps focus the essay
Allushta [10]

A compare and contrast essay is a piece of formal writing in which the author focus on the similarities between two ideas, objects, places, etc., and the differences between them. There are some aspects that the author should take into account when he/she is crafting the essay. First, the author has a clear idea of the effect that he/she wants to produce on the audience (a purpose). His/her main idea should be presented in the thesis statement in a simple but effective way which gives the audience a clear idea of the content and the direction of the essay. In addition, it is also important to focus to the similarities and differences that not only are interesting and relevant to the reader but also provide a new, impressive point of view or deeper understanding of a topic.
