English

Answer: Dactylic meter.

Explanation:

In poetry, <em>meter</em> is the pattern of the beats. It is also referred to as a 'foot'. There are certain number of syllables in each foot (often two or three). Different types of meter have different patterns of stressed/unstressed syllables.

Dactyl meter, found in these lines from Robert Browning's poem <em>"The Lost Leader"</em>, has the first syllable stressed and the second and third unstressed.  The pattern is the following:

<em>Just</em><em> for a </em><em>hand</em><em>ful of </em><em>sil</em><em>ver he </em><em>left</em><em> us </em>

<em>Just</em><em> for a</em><em> rib</em><em>and to </em><em>stick</em><em> in his </em><em>coat.</em>

1. Dalton Conley says that the differences between how black and white people describe themselves are as follows:

a. Black people emphasize their skin color while white people do not.

 

b. Blacks demean themselves by stressing their classes based on wealth.

c. Black people think that they cannot rise above their levels because they are not upwardly mobile in their thought patterns.

<h3>Why does Conley Believe the Differences? </h3>

Conley believes these differences exist because of his personal experiences living among the black communities.

 

2. One will tend to agree with Conley because blacks still worship whites, assuming the whites to be angels from heaven because of their color.

<h3>Personal Descriptive Adjectives: </h3>

3. Many adjectives can describe a person. The following are prominent: Persistent, Genuine, Enthusiastic, Disciplined, Straightforward, Modest, and Tenacious.

 

On the other hand, the following adjectives took longer to think of: Generous, Independent, Resourceful, Courageous, Practical, Energetic, Motivated, Adaptable, and Truthful.

 

Some adjectives are easy to think of more than others. When you look at a person, some qualities are visible while others remain concealed.

<h3>Racial and Class Distinctions </h3>

4. When Dalton Conley says that <em>“race and class are nothing more than a set of stories we tell ourselves to get through the world,”</em> he means that people should not over-emphasize racial and class distinctions because they do not make a person human.

 

I concur because race and class are like appendages. People can live without making distinctions based on race and class.

 

Thus, we can agree with Dalton Conley's expressed opinions in "Honky," noting that "To Kill a Mocking Bird" was authored by Harper Lee.

Think about what makes you, you. What guides your choices without even thinking about it. I need a paragraph. It doesn't have to
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Step 1: Use sentences from question to answer.

<u> Think about what makes you, you.</u>

What makes me is the stuff i like doing, that no one else can change about me. Its the stuff I actually believe I can do.

<u>What guides your choices without even thinking about it</u>

my goals guide my choices, and I don't think about them because I know I can do it, because I believe in myself.

Step 2: add more detail.

<u>What makes me is the stuff i like doing, that no one else can change about me. Its the stuff I actually believe I can do.</u>

What I think makes me, is how i know the stuff i do is what doesnt change me, it makes me know that This is how i myself, should act.

<u>my goals guide my choices, and I don't think about them because I know I can do it, because I believe in myself.</u>

The things that guide my choices are my goals. I dont overthink about them and wonder if I do bad. Because I know I wont do bad. And because I believe in myself.

Step 3: add it all together

What I think makes me, is how i know the stuff i do is what doesnt change me, it makes me know that This is how i myself, should act. The things that guide my choices are my goals. I dont overthink about them and wonder if I do bad. Because I know I wont do bad. And because I believe in myself.

Explanation:

So the ending should look like this:

What I think makes me, is how i know the stuff i do is what doesnt change me, it makes me know that This is how i myself, should act. The things that guide my choices are my goals. I dont overthink about them and wonder if I do bad. Because I know I wont do bad. And because I believe in myself.

Hope it helps             :)
