The underline word for this one is hapless. My answer would be <span>unlucky or unfortunate; pitiable. In this context, the narrator talks about the unlucky person who is compiling a series of dictionaries or lexicographies. Compiling it may be very complicated and long but at the end, there is something good that comes out from such action.</span>

What is the theme of "Heart to Heart" by rita doves
irina1246 [14]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>The heart is an epitome of Love</em>

<em />

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>In this poem the poet begins by stating that a heart is "neither red nor sweet." This goes against the common social ideas of what a heart is like. Dove goes against the idea that our heart connects to our emotions "doesn't melt or turn over, break or harden". The heart is an epitome of Love (the theme).</em>

From your own life, list two setting (places that you spent time) and explain how each event shaped you
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

My grandmothers house and the park

Explanation:

I used to go to my grandmothers house all the time when I was younger.  I spent lots of time there, and it helped me to become a better person.  She taught me to forgive and forget.  I learned how to cook and I learned to be myself.  I also used to go to the park when I was younger.  I wasn't a normal kid that wanted to go slide and swing, I wante to observe.  I wanted to see what everyone was doing and I liked to see different people. It helped me with my communication skilla.
