Read the excerpt from Midsummer by Derek Walcott. With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race

to extinction like the roar of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses; they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature, being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun. Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable. The speaker thinks that the riot should have happened in the fall. The speaker thinks that the riot was entirely preventable.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

"A Fortunate Mistake"

"Hello" I said when I answered my phone

"Hi, is this the su***de hotline?" The stranger said. He sounded like he was crying.

"No. This isn't but maybe I can help?" I said. Worried.

"N-No sorry. I'm sorry for bothering you Ma'am" He said.

Maybe I should try to keep him on the phone. Try to see if I can help him.

"It's okay. What's your name?" I said.

"M-my name is Joey" He said still sounding like he's crying.

"Hi Joey. My name is Lizzie. Where are you from?" I said trying to distract him from whats making him cry.

"I-I'm from L-Liverpool" he said stuttering.

"Oh! I'm from Liverpool too!" I said excitedly trying to make him feel better.

<h2>This is all I could think of try to think of how to continue this. And I know it's not that great. <em>Good luck!</em></h2>

How does the Duke describe his last duchess ​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

answer is here

Explanation:

The Duke describes the last Duchess as if she were wanton with her attention, inadequately class conscious and overly friendly. As rowens says, his primary complaint is that she does not treat him with more reverance or favour than she does anyone else. She loves everyone and everything: "she had a heart too soon made glad, too easily impressed". She enjoys life and people, and does not differentiate between nature and art, high or low class, men in general and her husband with the 900 year old name.

She is not a coarse woman--she blushes easily (too easily, according to the Duke, and too frequently as well). She smiles at everyone (friendly, but undifferentiatingly so), and she thanks everyone (this makes her too free with her gratitude). As far as the Duke is concerned, she should only be thankful to him for giving her his name (and title).

According to the Duke, she is oblivious to her faults, and does not correct herself (he doesn't tell her he sees anything wrong with her behaviour because that would be "stooping" and the Duke never stoops.

So her three greatest faults are that she is uncommonly friendly (which makes her common in the Duke's eyes), she is insufficiently grateful and subservient to the Duke, her husband and, finally, that having made these grave errors she does not see them and correct them on her own (thus putting the Duke in the uncomfortable position of feeling he must tutor his wife, which of course he cannot do).

Hope its helpful;
