Before 1789, people in France lived under absolute rule—the king had total control of the government. The people fought the revolution to gain rights such as freedom of speech and greater participation in the government. The revolution was the start of a new era for France. But soon after, Napoleon Bonaparte came to power. He ruled with little input from others and conquered neighboring countries, while generally preserving the revolution’s changes, such as freedom of speech and religion.
In a sense, the revolution came full circle—it started and ended with one leader having nearly total control of the country. What does this indicate about the revolution? Did it succeed or fail? Explain your views in a short paragraph of four or five sentences.
Explanation:
It's always important to understand the difference between tone and mood.
I like to say that tone is how the author feels about the work. You can tell how the author feels by the word choices (diction) he or she makes.
Mood is a more personal reaction. How does the work make you feel?
If I am looking for what the tone of this poem is, I'd look at words like "diverged" and "sorry" in the first stanza and the phrase "wanted wear" in the second stanza and the lines "I doubted if I should ever come back" and "I shall be telling this with a sigh" in stanzas three and four. I might make the conclusion that the tone of this poem is one of longing.
As far as the mood goes, you might end up using the same lines and word choices as in the paragraph above. But the mood is going to be a different answer. How do you feel as a reader? Sad? Somber? Hopeful? Anxious?
As a reader, you are never sure the poem's speaker made the right choice. So that's why the mood is left up to you.
That is a good topic for a presentation.
Answer:
New York is a vibrant, very diverse city.
Explanation:
In the first option, it is not right to use both a comma and "and" to connect a two-element list of modifiers ("vibrant" and "very diverse"). In the second option, a comma should not be isolating the adverb "very" from the adjective it modifies (diverse). Only the third option is properly punctuated.
