Answer:

,the principal at my school and the oldest staff member,

Explanation:

Appossitives are words or phrases that define or rename the noun that they follow. Besides, if they are non-restrictive clauses, they are usually separated from the noun and the rest of the sentence by commas, dashes or parenthesis. Thus, in the sentence given, the appositive phrase written within commas specifies who Mr. Dirksen is.

Name a synonym for each concept vocabulary word, and tell how its connotations differ.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

1. Obliterate

2. Old

3. Cleft

4. Decadent

5. Tear

6. Clamorous

Explanation:

1. To annihilate is to destroy something, kill completely.  To Annihilate is to get rid of something completely. For example: genocide has the purpose to annihilate (get rid of) human beings who are different, belong to a certain religion or sect.  It came from the Late Latin word: "annihilatus" meaning "reduced to nothing", While obliterate means to in Latin to: "struck out", meaning "Trying something with multiple attempt but fail". Anihialate is the action of destroying completely, while obliterate is the action to attempt in annihilation, but, failing multiple times. [Have to try till you get rid of]

2. Antiquity is the past, usually referring before the Middle Ages. While old is something in particular that has aged, has much age.

3. Fissure is an opening on the Earth, it can happen during earthquakes or volcano eruptions. A crack. While cleft is when something is partially divided in two.

4. Dissolution is to have lack of morals referring in a religious manner or society. For example: Having a child before being married is something of great shame in the religious community, in society its normal. Even so, people who are not religious can also have these morals and look bad upon children who are a "bas-ta-rd", a child that was produced out of wed-lock. While decadent is someone who shows a decline in morals, the person is aware of the morals but they themselves "choose" to decline the moral and cultural norms and rules. For example: The U.S prohibits marriage of two or more people. Those who do it disobey the law.

5. Rending is to tear something into two or more pieces. Rending is not done in force, you can tear a piece of paper calmly. To tear is to rip something with force, for example: "He tore with his teeth the flesh upon her skin into two pieces".

6. Tumultuous is to make a loud and confusing noise while clamorous is a racket, its a noise made to be heard or to cause confusion. In Latin it means to "cry out".

Monica [59]

Answer:

Lennie

Explanation:

Lennie is totally defenseless and rather petulant. He cannot avoid the dangers presented by Curley, Curley’s wife, or the world at large. His innocence raises him to a standard of pure goodness that is more poetic and literary than realistic. His enthusiasm for the vision of their future farm proves contagious as he convinces George, Candy, Crooks, and the reader that such a paradise might be possible. But he is a character whom Steinbeck sets up for disaster, a character whose innocence only seems to ensure his inevitable destruction.

Basically its saying  photography has become a bit too focused on the past - even if it’s the immediate past. Just take all that talk about, let’s say, how colour photography became an accepted part of art photography (you could also pick the New Topographics<span> or whatever else). And then re-read the quotes…

or saying </span> <span>Fitting in is a necessary, but not sufficient criterion. 
Being new is not sufficient. 
Popularity right now is not enough. 
Someone liking the poem now is not enough. 

Does a poem conform to the new times? 
Is a poem individual and different? 
These are coexisting requirements for a poem to be valuable. 

>is a work of art that conforms completely really a work of art? 

"Conforming", in the sense of forming the leadership for a new age. 
Yes, conforming is a necessary, but not sufficient requirement for a poem: 
"its fitting in is a test of its value–a test," 

>should contemporary works of art be judged as “better” or “worse” than past ones? 

There is no way that new poems be as bad as old poems, or their canons. 
"certainly not judged by the canons of dead critics."</span>
