Answer:

Defiance.

Explanation:

The short poem "Still Here" by Langston Hughes is an open declaration of the perseverance of the speaker in not giving up. He is declaring his fighting spirit boldly, not scared of anything that comes his way.

The speaker says that even though he may "<em>have been scared and battered</em>", his hopes all scattered by the wind, "<em>Snow has friz’ me, Sun has baked me, Looks like between ‘em they done Tried to make me Stop laughin</em>," he will not give up. He boldly and openly declares "(he's) <em>still here</em>". He refuses to be put down by anything, and will persevere and be brave. He is capable of enduring whatever may come his way. his defiance in not allowing to be put under any pressure shows his passion to fight and be brave. He will not give up no matter  how heavy or strong the situation may be.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The answers are: organizing and drafting

Explanation:

Writing is considered a process which consists of four steps: <em>Prewriting, Drafting, Revision and Publication. </em>

When it comes to the Drafting phase organizing and drafting are part of it.<u> It is at this time that you put your ideas together or organize them thoroughly</u>. It is very important to use appropriate words in order for your writing to serve its purpose.

Research is part of the Prewriting Phase, so it is not included in the Drafting Phase. Anticipating is also part of the Prewriting Phase. Here, you try to know who your audience is and what kind of information you want them to receive. <em>Editing and Proofreading</em> are part of the Revision Phase.

After this, the writing will be published (Publication Phase).
