English

djyliett [7]3 years ago

Answer:

After putting myself in Johnsy’s position, I can empathize with her attitude throughout the story.

Explanation:

In the story "The Last Leaf", Johnsy was suffering from pneumonia. She had built a thought in her mind that with the falling of the leaves of the ivy vine, she too will fall and die. If I keep myself in Johnsy's position, I can empathize with her thoughts and perspectives about life and death. It is a humanistic approach to the hardships of life. The result of such negativity in Johnsy's approach was the lack of inspiration and the loss of aspiration. She overthought the inevitability of life and put herself under the negative zone. It is very commonly observed that when negativity approaches the mind, then everything we observe or see also becomes negative. Despite thinking about positivity and life, she associated her life with the falling of the leaves. This cannot be stated to be her fault or lack of positivity in her life, but a humanistic approach. It is the art and the beauty of it that helped Johnsy recover from the negativity in her life. Such situations may arise in any person's life. It is then that the role of art, a friend or a companion can be trusted upon. Her friend Sue, the old painter and the art of the leaves helped Johnsy recover and come back to life again.

dimaraw [331]

Walt Whitman was a poet during the 1800's, who later in America's modern times became popular for his unique style of poetry. Whitman thought that poetry should be spoken in the "language of ordinary men." His use of the vernacular and vocabulary was unusual and unique for poets of his time period. His poems were most often times about nature and humanity. His poems also helped shed light on America's issues as it began to grow as a country. Sadly Walt Whitman wasn't given full credit for his unique and influential style of writing until after he had passed away.

Identify two sides of an argument
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Agree about the issue or be against it and discuss.

Explanation:

When writing down an argumentative writing, you may write down as many current issues that you can think of, even if you have not yet formed strong opinions about them. Just make sure that they are issues--matters open to discussion and debate. Arguments are not one-sided, as much as we might sometimes wish they were. If they were only made up of one side, it would be so much easier to win. But such is life, and facing different perspectives from your own is a part of an argument; even if you feel other perspectives are harmful and perpetuate hateful ideals that you cannot even try to understand on a personal level.  

You can hope that everyone will come to see things the way you do, but until then, give them a hard time by proving that yo have got the knowledge to back yourself up and rid them of any leverage they might have been prepared to place on your assumed ignorance.

<span> D. (9) Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of its clean and safe enough to drink.

In this sentence, "its" should have an apostrophe to change the word to "it's". this is because "it's" is a contraction for "it is". "Only some of it is clean and safe" is how the sentence would read.</span>
