Answer:

The best description of the weather in Moingona, Iowa before the train crash is Option C: There was very heavy rain, which caused Honey Creek to rise and flood.

Explanation:

This train accident occurred on the afternoon of July 6, 1881. There had been heavy thunderstorms that caused flash flooding and this washed out the timbers of the railway trestle that crossed Honey Creek. A locomotive was sent from Moingona to check track conditions. It fell into Honey Creek with a crew of four men on board.  

A young adolescent of about 16 years old Kate Shelley heard the crash and also thought of a passenger train that would be heading the same route.  She found two survivors and went to get help, traveling a long distance to sound the alarm and risking her own safety by crossing another bridge on her hands and knees.  She is considered a heroine and has a bridge named after her.

I need a analysis for the poem “ in the longhouse, oneida museum “
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

House of five fires, you never raised me.

Those nights when the throat of the furnace

wheezed and rattled its regular death,

I wanted your wide door,

your mottled air of bark and working sunlight,

wanted your smokehole with its stars,

and your roof curving its singing mouth above me.

Here are the tiers once filled with sleepers,

and their low laughter measured harmony or strife.

Here I could wake amazed at winter,

my breath in the draft a chain of violets.

The house I left as a child now seems

a shell of sobs. Each year I dream it sinister

and dig in my heels to keep out the intruder

banging at the back door. My eyes burn

from cat urine under the basement stairs

and the hall reveals a nameless hunger,

as if without a history, I should always walk

the cluttered streets of this hapless continent.

Thinking it best I be wanderer,

I rode whatever river, ignoring every zigzag,

every spin. I've been a fragment, less than my name,

shaking in a solitary landscape,

like the last burnt leaf on an oak.

What autumn wind told me you'd be waiting?

House of five fires, they take you for a tomb,

but I know better. When desolation comes,

I'll hide your ridgepole in my spine

and melt into crow call, reminding my children

that spiders near your door

joined all the reddening blades of grass

without oil, hasp or uranium.

How did montresor know that none of his servants would be home
aivan3 [116]

The servants do not "abscond" because Montresor tells them to stay at home; they do so because he tells them he will be gone all night. They don't care if he finds out that they all left to join in the carnival. He can't fire them because he can't get anybody to replace them.
