Thurgood Marshall was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended Howard University, where he studied law. He served for

years as influential legal counsel to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), acting as a champion of civil rights for African Americans. He is famous for winning the 1954 case Brown vs. The Board of Education of Topeka, in which it was ruled that racial segregation in schools was illegal. Marshall became the first African American to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. His remarkable achievements — as a lawyer, as a Supreme Court justice, and as a human being — were nothing short of extraordinary.
What does the author's use of the word champion in the phrase champion of civil rights suggest to the reader?

that the author holds a very high opinion of Thurgood Marshall
that the author does not have an opinion of Thurgood Marshall
that the author holds an unbiased opinion of Thurgood Marshall

Answer:

Explanation:

"Little souls who thirst for fight" "These men were born to drill and die" "The unexplained glory flies above them"

All of these sentences use irony to show how people are born to fight, similar to machines. In addition, the title of the poem, War is Kind, is ironic as well, as war is NOT kind, and leaves "a field where a thousand corpses lie."

The use of words outside their usual or literal meanings is called _____. metaphor symbolism figurative language personification
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The correct answer is C. Figurative language

Explanation:

In language, words can be used according to their literal or denotative meaning which refers to the meaning of the dictionary or the meaning agreed by the speakers of a language or used according to their non-literal meaning which is called figurative language. Figurative language is about relating words to other meanings different to their literal or denotative meaning, this is the case of most figures of speech including simile, personification, allusion, symbolism, alliteration, and metaphor in which words are linked to non-conventional meanings to create abstract and more complex meanings that go beyond the literal meaning of words. Considering this, it can be concluded the use of words outside their usual or literal meaning is called figurative language.

She enjoy eating at two type of restaurants; Italian and Mexican.
LenaWriter [7]

There are a few errors in this sentence.

Here is what it should look like:<span></span>

<span><span>She enjoys eating at two types of restaurants, Italian and Mexican.</span></span>

<span><span>- the verb enjoy must agree with the subject she</span></span>

<span><span>-type must be plural because you are talking about two restaurants in your sentences</span></span>

<span><span>- I believe a comma should follow restaurants because there needs to be a pause. </span></span>

<span><span>You don't use a semicolon in this case because you are not connecting an independent clause. Independent clauses can stand alone meaning it is a complete thought/complete sentence. In your case Italian and Mexican cannot do cannot stand alone. </span></span>

<span><span>**Not only are semicolons used to connect independent clauses they are also used connect a thought meaning if the first part of the sentence is an independent clause but the second part isn't and it continues on talking about the first part of the sentence then you would put a semicolon between the two. For example: Love isn't something you experience; it's something you chose to do even when it is hard to do. (I made this sentence up).</span></span>

<span><span>Hopefully this helps and good luck.</span></span>

Think of two songs you enjoy, and write an essay comparing and contrasting them. You can focus on style, rhythm, lyrics, mood, o
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The Nights by Avicii takes me out of this world. I listen to that song and my mood for the day changes, it re-calibrates my mental coordination and there is just something about the lyrics! He explicitly sang about how his dad always told him that one day, he would leave the life he loved so much to somewhere else and how he must live a great life to be remembered. What stronger lyric does one seek to facilitate immense focus.

Whenever I feel like I have achieved too much and was getting proud, I play that song and it humbles me at an instant. Avicii said 'your wild life will live for younger days, think of me if you are ever afraid', that lyrical content sends chills down my spine. I thought within myself, how do these guys come up with such original content? A perfect work of Art and Music fused into one I must say.

On the other hand, there is some other tune that gets under my skin and that is African Queen by a Nigerian singer 2-face. He sheds light on the pureness and beauty of the African Woman, he virtuousness, her originality, and her desire to love unconditionally. He outed; 'just like the sun, you light up the earth, you light up my life, the only one, I've ever seen with a smile so bright'! Tell me those words do not hit you hard! I love everything that has to do with love and this songs makes me appreciate women more. These two songs will forever be my favorites!
