Excerpt from Wichita Mourning David Matherne Pipe organs—dusty and tarnished— Bellowed the ancient song, As movers carried the p

ews For one last time. Frozen branches—heavy with ice arms— Couldn’t perform their dance, As workmen shuffled inside The worn-out floors. Sally Richards—broken and mourning— Watched while her father left, As painters brought in their cans For the first time. Stained-glass windows—buckled and broken— Surveyed commotion’s cause As commerce won in the end Yet one more time. Reverend Richards—feeble and finished— Cried as his exit was lost On Christians who worshiped the dime; A change of the times. Imagine you are presenting this poem and need a visual aid to accompany your presentation. The visual aid should relate to the theme of the poem, the loss and destruction of this beautiful church. Which visual aid would be MOST appropriate? A) a road map of Wichita B) pictures showing the businesses and stores of Wichita C) a list of workers needed for the renovation of the building D) original floorplans and pictures of the church

Answer:

D) original floorplans and pictures of the church

Explanation:

The main idea of this poem is destruction of a Wichita church. The building itself will be renovated and repainted and it will serve another purpose as the commercial object.

The poem describes the condition the church is now in, workers who move things out of the church and bring their work material and an old priest whose service in this church came to an end.

Church is transfered into a construction site and, as such, one can not grasp on the church's earlier beauty.

The best complement to the author's current despription of the church would be some pictures, footage and original floorplans to show how the church changed and decayed over time.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The title of Doris Lessing’s “No Witchcraft for Sale” is ironic because there is witchcraft involved in Gideon’s responses to the scientists.

Explanation:

After the event in this excerpt, and the full recovery of Teddy, The Farquars told around how this "magic" plan of Gideon had made the miraculous cure, then one day a scientist after listening to the story paid The Farquards a visit to their house to know how was the plant used and what plat was it, after not giving direct answers and being evasive Gideon tells the scientist that witchcraft or native plant remedies are not for sale. It is Irony because everyone wanted to pay for something that they couldn't buy and people wanted to sell something that they didn't possess, the only person in known was no interested in being part of it.

Why was the wife of bath married 5 times in the Canterbury tales
Alex

The Wife of Bath begins her description of her two “bad” husbands. Her fourth husband, whom she married when still young, was a reveler, and he had a “paramour,” or mistress (454). Remembering her wild youth, she becomes wistful as she describes the dancing and singing in which she and her fourth husband used to indulge. Her nostalgia reminds her of how old she has become, but she says that she pays her loss of beauty no mind. She will try to be merry, for, though she has lost her “flour,” she will try to sell the “bran” that remains. Realizing that she has digressed, she returns to the story of her fourth husband. She confesses that she was his purgatory on Earth, always trying to make him jealous. He died while she was on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Read the poem.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: B. Locking women away behind walls, screens, or curtains robs them of their dignity.

Explanation:

The author of this poem, Sarojini Naidu (1879 - 1946), came from a culture where women were to receive a different treatment from men. Women's freedom was taken away with the excuse of protecting them from "eyes impure". If their bodies and faces, their beauty and youth cannot be seen, then they will not be coveted. However, such a way of "protecting" has its own way of harming those involved. It does not "shield a woman's eyes from tears". It does not protect their feelings, does not take their wishes into consideration. It only limits their lives, their abilities, their happiness.
