The fact that she is fourteen.

In "Hanging Fire," we learn about a young girl who is fourteen. We are able to look at the things she thinks about and worry her. These include having bad skin, liking a boy who does not like her back, school and, more surprisingly, death. All of these factors are related to the transitional time between adolescence and adulthood. One of the factors that highlights this is the fact that the girl is fourteen.

Why does Antony think Lepidus should not rule with Octavius and him?

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: He is not a leader

Explanation: Antony believes that Lepidus should not rule with him and Octavius because to him, Lepidus is only a follower, not a leader. He is not worthy of being part of the triumvirate. Antony only sees Lepidus as the errand boy, not someone worthy of leading with him and Octavius. He even compares him to a horse, which is also only a follower.

I can help you with a rough draft; but unfortunately i don’t have access to either of the stories so i cant cite evidence. i’m assuming you can fill in some quotes to help support?

Call of the Wild is a story (based on what i word all have read) that has a lot to do with nature (?) and survival. This ties in with Darwin’s theory of natural selection since it also has to do with evolution of nature and survival and adaptation. (assuming that Call of the Wild also requires adaptation, considering most survival stories do), Call of the Wild relates a lot in how people evolve when being put in risky situations & an outdoor environment.

In the first seven paragraphs of America and I, what are some of the images and diction used by the narrator that evoke the “dre

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Imagery in literature refers to the use of words and analogy that appeals to the five senses.

Starting with Paragraph 7, the narrator states that after her lofty dreams of America, the fact that she needs to work to pay for her next meal and rent brought her back to reality...in her own words she states "I had to put my feet down on earth"

Another example of imagery used can be found in paragraph 1. She calls out to America for understanding as there are many immigrants who were beating out their heart at its gates. In other words, there are many immigrants who seek to enter into America. She speaks as though America were a living being.

The act of immigration is typified by the beating of hearts at America's gates.

In paragraph 5 she speaks of hidden sap of centuries that would find release -colours that never saw light.

The last part of that sentence is a good use of imagery as colour and light are very visual.

Cheers.
