Answer:

The given lines are taken from the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.

Explanation:

Zora Neale Hurston's <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em> tells the story of African American women trying to survive in the world of the white authority. The narrator Janie tells her friend Phoeby about her three husbands and the life she had to live, trying to survive.

The given passage is spoken by Nanny/ Janie's grandmother after her first marriage to Logan Killicks. And for Nanny, the union was a successful deal done, with land and a lawful husband, and all things that white women have. The passage reveals Nanny telling her granddaughter how a man and a woman should love equally. A man must have his pride and love a woman right, not kiss her foot and leg. Just like Nanny said <em>"when dey got to bow down tuh love, dey soon straightens up</em>". If he's kissing her foot and leg, meaning treating her too well, then there's only a short time when he will get back to his usual self.

In her poem “Dew,” Sara Teasdale uses a conceit in order to illustrate _____.
Soloha48 [4]

The right answer is the D: In order to illustrate how romantic love makes the world seem new. The author starts by lyrically describing the refreshing, bright, and regenerating effect of dew and dawn on nature (she uses terms such as <em>stars</em>, <em>jewels</em>, <em>bright </em>and <em>gem</em>) in order to compare it with the one that the love of his lover ("fresh as the dawn") has on her. That love, like the dew and the dawn, has made a path for her where everything along the way shines as she passes by, solely for her own pleasure. It is, therefore, this romantic love that makes her seeing the world new, full of light and delicacy.

Which two sentences from the article include central ideas? While each utopian community had differences, they shared a common v
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Two sentences from the article that include central ideas are:

1. While each utopian community had differences, they shared a common vision of living together.

2. They survived by modifying their system into two distinct organizations, one secular and one religious.

Explanation:

A central idea is the main point or theme that the author is making in the writing or presentation.  It is also called the main or key idea. This implies that the central idea is the focus of an article or a presentation.  The sentence that contains the central idea is called a thesis statement.  This captures the claim being presented in an article.  However, a text or presentation could contain more than one central idea.

Title: I wish.

She's got long, brown hair

Medium Hight

Dark brown eyes

And the energy of a lightning bolt

Friendly with so many people

Brave in so many ways

Bold with so many actions

Mature in so many ways

Caring with so many people

She travels around the world

And she has millions of money, independently

Wants to go to college to become a vet

Oh, I wish I was her.
