Answer:

Ferlinghetti believes the new America that is ruled by corporations is not the true America. Instead, he ironically speaks of a "new Empire" that is "vaster" but not greater than past empires. Ferlinghetti suggests that the new American empire has technological ("electronic highways") and economic ("corporate") power. But it does not have a culture of any worth or value ("carrying its corporate monoculture/ around the world"). As a result, American society is lost. This is why Ferlinghetti asks the Sybil to "save" the American people:

And tell us how to save us from ourselves and how to survive our own rulers who would make a plutocracy of our democracy

He also asks the Sybil to awaken Americans by speaking in a "poet's voice" and asks her to reinvigorate America's culture:

the voice of the people mixedwith a wild soft laughter—And give us new dreams to dream, Give us new myths to live by!

jasenka [17]

Answer: No

Explanation:, Ophelia is not connected with the crime Hamlet seeks to avenge--at least not directly or intentionally. Ophelia's crime is her naiveté. Because she is concerned over Hamlet 's odd behavior, and because she hopes that Polonius is correct in presuming that this odd behavior is due to Hamlet's love for her

diamong [38]

Hello there. today I am going to be telling on why you should buy and apple watch. There are many great reasons to buy one. A few of those reasons would be that you can send and receive calls from it and not even have to use your phone. Another reason would be that it has a health monitor so you would know how much you need to work out in a day. These are some reasons why you should buy an apple watch.

I hope this will be a good enough answer for you :)
