What words or phrases in this excerpt from "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant best help to reveal the meaning of the word bl

ight as it is used in the poem?
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile

And eloquence of beauty, and she glides

Into his darker musings, with a mild

And healing sympathy, that steals away

Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts

Of the last bitter hour come like a blight

Over thy spirit, and sad images

Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall.

And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,

Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart--

Go forth, under the open sky, and list

To Nature's teachings,

Blight means ruin and disaster. Words and phrases that indicate and support this meaning are: "the last bitter hour" (denoting death), "stern agony, and shroud, and pall" (also denoting death, but this time in an even more literal way), "breathless darkness", "make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart" (these phrases definitely imply a disaster that takes our breath away).

Why is it ironic that the animals train for and unite in battle against the neighboring farmers? The farmers have food that the
Lisa [10]

I guess you're talking about Animal Farm. Well, the irony is that the animals came together and fought to overthrow the farmers who, they believed, were their greatest enemies, but in fact the greatest enemy of animals was "power." Once the farmers were defeated, the animals achieved their dreamed freedom, until "power" fell on the pigs, they began another kind of exploration and the animals lost their freedom again.  That is, as much as there is a fight against an enemy, another will arise, once he has power to concentrate in the hands of a single person, or a single group.

When I talk about this "power", I am referring to being able to be superior and oppressing others, because I think it is more certain, stronger, smarter, etc.

I hope it helps.

In an essay, explain how the alliteration in "Full Fathom Five" helps convey the atmosphere of the poem. Think about where the p
Alenkasestr [34]
The mood of the poem is sad and dark, describing where the bones of someone's father are laying (at the bottom of the ocean.). Alliteration helps convey this mood because the repetition of sounds, especially the 'f' and 's' sounds, make a sound that resembles the rush of waves or the sound you hear if you're underwater. 
The first example is in the first line, the 'f' sound is repeated in "Full Fathom Five thy Father lies". Then, for a second example, in lines 4-7, the 's' sound is repeated in "Suffer a Sea-change / Into Something rich and Strange. / Sea-nymphS". Again, those two sounds represent the sound and feeling of being underwater where the body is resting.

Which of the following is a true statement about instruction formats used in business documents
DanielleElmas [232]

I think it's "Pictures display information when written instructions are more complicated". Personally I believe it's just a majorly confusing way of saying: when the written instructions are too complicated they use pictures as well.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Then your blood becomes useless.

Explanation:

The blood in your body contains many hemoglobin which contains iron. Iron carries oxygen around your body, and keeps strength in you to continue to live.
