English
1 answer:
torisob [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a) The speaker believes that death is an eternal sleep.

Explanation:

Philip Morin Freneau's poem "The Indian Burying Ground" is about the speaker's recent visit to a burial ground of the Native Americans. This imaginative analysis of such burying grounds and contrasts it with the more 'decent' burial of the 'civilized' Europeans.

In the poem, the speaker reveals his opinion about burying the dead, "<em>I still my old opinion keep; the posture that we give the dead, points out the soul's eternal sleep"</em>. And contrary to this, he reveals how the native tribes bury their dead, <em>"seated with his friends, and shares again the joyous feast."</em> He also points out his belief of the very nature of burial of the Indians, <em>"activity, that knows no rest."</em>

Thus, to the speaker, death is an eternal sleep.

identify one of the darker actions examined in a story or drama from this unit. in what piece is the action highlighted? what in
Nookie1986 [14]

The darker actions and the interactions or emotions given in the story is described below.

Explanation:

The first thing that you need to do is determine what dark actions are, and how they apply to the story.  A dark action would be something that a character does that shows something tat is dark, ie evil, bad, negative.

In the story The Most Dangerous Game, the character Sanger Rainsford, a famous big-game hunter, is stranded on an island, and found by General Zaroff, another big-game hunter.  Zaroff hunts humans in order to experience a ore challenging and engaging hunt.  He then hunts Rainsford.  Rainsford ultimately has to decide if he will kill or be killed.

There are a lot of dark actions in this story, and the above quick synopsis highlights two of them: General Zaroff decides to hunt humans for sport, and Rainsford has to decide whether to kill Zaroff or get killed.  The intentions and eotions, as you can imagine, are diverse: fear of death, anger at being hunted, the need to survive... there are more, but this will give you a start.

When thinking about how the drama changes if characters overcame the darker emotions, think about this:  Imagine how the story would change if Rainsford decided to not participate, and just sat down instead of being hunted.  Imagine what would happen if Zaroff decided to quit hunting Rainsford.  Would the men become friends, help each other?  Or would one of them die regardless?

The blood vessels that are present in the brain are almost 100,000 miles in length.

There are 100 billion neurons present in the brain.

In early pregnancy, the neurons develop at an alarming rate of 250,000 per minute.

 As we grow older, we are unable to remember new things. According to the researchers in the US it is because the brain is unable to filter and remove old memories which prevent it from absorbing new ideas.
