Hello!
In this paragraph, the author/narrator is referencing everyday things that we may see, like flowers, weeds, rocks, and more, to how they feel! For example, the author tells us that a flower is basically "trapped" in a pot, although it is beautiful and gets much attention and care, then he compares the trapped flower, to the weed, which although is in a "dangerous condition", it is free.
So, what I understand from this paragraph is that sometimes we can feel trapped, like a flower, or free, like a weed.
Have a wonderful day! Hope this helps! :)
so "higher education", can keep students, like me, paying up the nose for classes you academically don't need to take..seriously tho, the brain remembers bits n pieces of info. your brain may remember the process of solving the issue.
Answer:
9. Sentence fragment: Since you don't have it.
10. Run-on sentence: Please help me wash him, he's dirty.
11. Run-on sentence: I hope you like watching baseball, I really love it.
Explanation:
9. This sentence is incomplete; what is "it"? It is technically grammatically incorrect to begin a sentence with a conjunction, such as the words because, since, as, and many more. This sentence does not have a definite subject, but it has a verb, "it".
10. This sentence is composed of two clauses; although they are both related, it is a run-on sentence, since the second clause refers to the first without the use of a word such as "and". The comma could also be replaced with a semicolon or a period.
11. Once again, the second clause within this sentence refers to the first one and has incorrect punctuation.
I hope this helped! If it is still unclear, do visit this/these website(s) about run-on sentences:

Answer:
- The main themes in "The Veldt" are reality versus fantasy, technology, and consumerism. Realty versus fantasy: Though the environments the nursery recreates are not meant to be real in a tangible sense, the vivid sensory experiences enable violent impulses to take shape.
Explanation:
- Veldt” portrays a futuristic society in which things, especially consumer goods, have gained a life of their own. In the name of convenience and contentment, technology fulfills people's every need, reducing humans to passive beings who only eat, breathe, and sleep.
- What is the meaning of the phrase “'Children are carpets, they should be stepped on occasionally'” (Paragraph 131)? Parents should step on their children. Children should listen to their parents. Parents should discipline their children. ... They love it in the way that they should love their parents
The Veldt," Bradbury may have used the virtual lions to kill the parents to emphasize the serious dangers of technology. In much of Ray Bradbury's science fiction, there is an underlying distrust of technology.
