Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Outside the Eastern Gate Outside the Eastern gate Are girls many as the clouds;

But though they are many as clouds There is none on whom my heart dwells. White jacket and grey scarf Alone could cure my woe. Beyond the Gate Tower Are girls lovely as rush-wool; But though they are lovely as rush-wool There is none with whom my heart bides. White jacket and madder skirt Alone could bring me joy. Based on this excerpt from Book of Songs, what is the theme of this poem? fear of women joy of new love heartache of being alone rush of meeting new people

Answer:

Heartache of being alone.

Explanation:

The poem "Outside the Eastern Gate" is one of the poems from the <em>Shih Ching by Mao</em> which was translated into English. The poem tells of a lover's woe of being alone and finding no happiness.

In the given lines, the speaker expresses his dilemma of not finding any girl who can capture his heart. Be it<em> "outside the Eastern gate" </em>or <em>"beyond the Gate Tower"</em>, there is none who can get his heart set on. His dilemma in finding a girl to love left him feeling sad and heartbroken.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Do you think Utopians fear change? Why?
Nostrana [21]

Do a narrative essay on If you were An Animal you Would Be? Could you help me start, and give some ideas?
Tom [10]


If I were an animal, I would rather be a Lion. I would laze the whole day under the  shade of the acacia tree, away from the hot baking sun of the African savannah. In the cool of the evening, as the setting sun bids the day good night and the moon rises majestically into the beautiful starry sky, I would take a stroll to the cool water of the rushing river, parting the reeds and lush green ferns as I wend my way to the gently sloping bank and on to the clear sparkling water, and drink my fill to the tune of chirping crickets and mighty wing beats of the night fowl swishing through the lovely night on to their errands.

With a contented, refreshed sigh, I would  rise and ever so quietly slip back into the green luxurious curtain of grass,...

The collage above highlights some of the terms you will read in “The Unseen Values.” Before we read the text, preview the collag
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

I find the word 'boondoggle' unusual.  Since 'boondoggle' means 'a useless or wasteful project', I'd predict that they wasted time on planning a project that didn't work or didn't seem to cohere to what they were trying to do. But relating to an essay about the American space program, I'd say that they use the term boondoggle because people might have thought that the American space program were wasting time on exploring space when they still have a lot to learn on earth.

Explanation:

Try to change up the words so the teachers don't find out that you're plagarising, because I put this as my answer. Hope this helps though!
