Hughes opens and closes the lines with this word. He uses it for times and each of them has its own interpration. Hughes begins his poem with this line:

I dream a world where a man

The line means that the poem itself is about a dream, some unimaginative reality. After three lines he emphasizes the word again:

I dream world where all

With this line, Hughes introduces second set of his dream for the active process. The process is about the present that Hughes has not yet given up that he uses present tense. Therefore, the next line starts the next concept:

A world I dream where black or white

And the last line completes the process by summing up all the wishes:

Of such I dream, my world.

The word "dream" emphasises the longing which the persona holds that is not quite tangible - the repetition implies this "dream" is reoccurring, showing that the persona's longing is all the more strong.

2. -I'm hungry.- eat your sandwich, then.

3. You're in a hospital. Don't talk loudly.

4.-I think that I'm lost.- Ask for directions, then.

5. Jacob can't solve this problem. Help him, please!

6.It's hot today. Don't take your jacket with you, Lucy.

7.Look at this picture, kids. What can you see?

8. Don't throw rubbish on the street, Pete. We must protect our environment.

Explanation:

We use the imperative form to give orders, instructions, or to warn someone about something. To write sentences in the imperative form, we have to write the verb in the infinitive, and if it is a negative command, we have to write the do not or don't and the verb in the infinitive.

For example, if we want to give an instruction, we can say -Turn on the right- the verb is in the infinite form, the subject may or may not be present since the person can deduce to whom we are saying the command. An example of a sentence where we use the negative form can be - Don't run in the hallways- In this case, we use the auxiliary verb do and the auxiliary not followed by the verb.

What type of figurative language is used in the name, " Dark Suns"?

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Oxymoron

Explanation:

The term figurative language refers to the use of words in an unusual way in order to convey a complicated meaning, make writing more interesting, add clarity, or make a comparison. Figures of speech are the key part of figurative language, and there are many of them.

One of them is called oxymoron. It involves a combination of contradictory or incongruous words. In this case, we have the combination of words dark and suns. As we know, the sun can only be bright, but in this case, it's described by a completely opposite word - dark.

As he’s finishing his speech, Hamlet says, "Thus conscience does make cowards of us all, and thus the native hue of resolution i

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

This soliloquy of Hamlet is taken from Act III scene i of the play where he gave his famous "To be or not to be" speech.

Explanation:

Taken from Act III scene i of the tragedy play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, the plot revolves round the revenge plan of the young prince Hamlet against his uncle and step father Claudius. This speech refers to the human attitude towards death and the fear of actually dying, even though we are all destined to die one day.

Right along the lines of his famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy, the speech shows him faltering in his attempts to commit sui cide. But even though he is referring to the universal fear of saying among men, he is also indirectly referring to his own fear or reluctance to actually go forward with his proposed plan. he wants to avenge his father's murder, and get treated right as he should be. He wants to teach his uncle/ step-father/ king Claudius and his mother Queen Gertrude a lesson but he also knows it is risky and will possibly be disastrous for him too. He is rethinking his decision of doing what he had planned, admitting that "the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,....... their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action".

How do the results of solitary confinement differ from the overarching goals of the American prison system?

vladimir2022 [97]

I actually have two main sources, plus tad bits that I've learned just researching on the internet.

My first source is one of the Adam Ruins Everything episode on the American Jail systems.

Jails aren't run by the government anymore. Jails, or prisons are money making machines. The government gives them OUR tax money, to keep pretty much innocent people in jail. Why do I say innocent? Because the private jail systems have a minimum amount of people that have to be in their jail. Which means once you enter, they'll keep giving you years for "bad behavior", such as not wanting to mow the lawn for 10 cents an hour.

My second source is a documentary called the "Thirteenth".

Jail systems aren't meant to be places of "rehabilitation". Do you know why? Because back in December 1865, when slavery was no longer legal, former slave owners still need workers to keep their plantations going, but didn't have the money to pay... so here comes our wonderful constitution to the rescue!

The Thirteenth amendment states, "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

AH HA! See, right there, "EXPECT AS PUNISHMENT FOR A CRIME.". That little loop hole made it so that anything a black, yes a black, person did was a crime. Even accusations that weren't true could land them in jail, and back as a slave.

So if you connect the dots right now, the goal of the overarching prison system is not, and was never about "rehabilitation".

Now, I still have some more to say on this subject. Even if you were to ignore how our wonderful prison system got started, there's solitary confinement to think about.

Solitary Confinement makes people insane. Once one person goes in, and then comes out a completely different person than they were, they're an example to the others.

If our government and our jail systems want to rehabilitate people, and help them enter the work force, and of course, stay out of crime, making people unable to care for themselves is not the way to go.

I hope this helps, and sorry for the long answer.

Answer and Explanation:

She looked beautiful, it was her wedding day. Everything was ready for a wonderful occasion, only one thing, where was the groom? All of a sudden there was a bang at the door... She startled, inhaling sharply, thoughts racing through her mind. It was probably her mother, maybe her sister, coming to let her know he had changed his mind and fled. Her imagination ran wild, picturing him at an airport, buying a last-minute ticket to God knows where, leaving her behind to face, all alone, the shame of having been left on her wedding day.

She finally opened the door, hands and legs shaking. It was indeed her mother, but there was something soothing about the expression on her face. He was running late, but he was on his way. Something had happened, a problem with the car, perhaps a flat tire. She inhaled again, deeply and steadily this time. She couldn’t help but laugh at her own desperation, at how quickly she had jumped to conclusions. Was this not the man she loved? The one she had chosen to spend the rest of her life with? Didn’t he deserve more trust than this? Her mother smiled gently. It was normal to be this nervous; and nervous people think in absurd ways. She laughed again.

The time finally came for her to walk down that beautifully ornamented aisle. She was still too nervous to look directly at anyone, but too happy to not sense their smiles, their eyes walking with her, slowly, toward him. Her groom reached out to hold her trembling hands, his own as shaky as hers, and kissed her sweetly on the left cheek. A brand new life was ahead of them. It would be a life of companionship, of growing old together, of caring more about the other than about the self.

Note: I got a bit carried away, so there are around 300 words. Feel free to remove anything you find unnecessary.
