They say the people could fly. Say that long ago in Africa, some of the people knew magic. And they would walk up on the air lik

e climbin up on a gate. And they flew like blackbirds over the fields. Black, shiny wings flappin against the blue up there.
Then, many of the people were captured for Slavery. The ones that could fly shed their wings. They couldn’t take their wings across the water on the slave ships. Too crowded, don’t you know.
—“The People Could Fly,”
Virginia Hamilton

If thou speak'st false, Upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive, Till famine cling thee: if thy speech be sooth, I care not if
Rina8888 [55]

This question is incomplete, but I will proceed to explain the meaning of these words.

Answer:

<u>Summary of the quote:</u>

This quote is said by Macbeth in Act 5 lines 37 - 51, the final act of this tragedy. Macbeth is talking to a guard, who informes him that he sees a "moving grove", in other words, a forest moving. This makes Macbeth realize that the witches lied to him, and that there is a chance that he would die, something that he thought to be impossible just a couple of lines above. He warns everybody that they should leave, but he assumes the role of the brave and honorable soldier that he used to be, and tells everyone to fight courageously.

<u>Line by line explanation:</u>

"If thou speak'st false, upon the next tree shalt thou hang alive, till famine cling thee:" <em> </em><em>If what you said is false, I will hang you alive on a tree until you starve to death.</em>

"If thy speech be sooth, I care not if thou dost for me as much" <em> If what you are saying is true, then I don't care so much (because we will all die anyway)</em>

"I pull in resolution, and begin to doubt the equivocation of the fiend that lies like truth:"<em> I begin to lose my confidence and doubt the words of the witches, that make lies look like truths.</em>

"Fear not, till Birnam wood comes toward Dunsinane: and now a wood comes toward Dunsinane." <em> These words are a reference to the witches' prophecy that said that Macbeth wouldn't be defeated until Birnam Wood would move towards Dunsinane. </em>

"Arm, arm, and out!" <em>"Grab your armour and swords, get ready to fight"</em>

"If this which he avouches does appear, there is nor flying hence nor tarrying here." <em>If what the guard is saying is true, then there is no way out of here"</em>

"I 'gin to be aweary of the sun, and wish the estate o'the world were now undone" <em>I begin to feel tired of this life and I wish the world would dissapear</em>

"Ring the alarum bell, blow wind! Come wrack" <em>Ring the alarm, let the storm rage"</em>

"At least we'll die with harness on our back" <em> At least we will die a couragous death. </em>

How do text features elaborate on key ideas?
Alja [10]

Answer:

Text features also help readers determine what is important to the text and to them. Without a table of contents or an index, readers can spend wasted time flipping through the book to find the information they need. Special print helps draw the attention of the reader to important or key words and phrases.
