The two men crawled across the sun-scorched sand. The wind blew the sand grains into their faces at blinding speeds as they reac

hed their way over the dune. The man in the back asked the other man to stop, but his throat was so dry that the word sounded more like "top." So the other man continued. As they reached the top of the dune, they looked over and saw a glistening pool some thirty yards down the hill. It wasn't a large pool, but it shimmered in the sun, beckoning the dehydrated men. It urged them to continue their struggle. The men summoned the will to live. They used it as strength when they had none, and the men pushed forward until the tiny pool was in reach. The man in front desperately scooped a handful of the shimmering liquid into his mouth. Instantly he began coughing and spitting out the water. The man behind him seemed confused, until the man in front said, "This is salt water..."

Describe Josephine March and Meg March from the book Little Women
padilas [110]
Jo additionally adores writing, both perusing and composing it. She creates plays for her sisters to perform and composes stories that she in the end gets distributed. She emulates Dickens and Shakespeare and Scott, and at whatever point she's not doing tasks she curls up in her room, in the edge of the attic, or outside, totally ingested in a good book.

Meg, short for Margaret, is the most oldest and (until Amy grows up) the prettiest of the four March sisters. She's the most typical of the sisters – we think about her as everything that you may expect a nineteenth-century American young lady from a good family to be. Meg luxury, nice things, dainty food, and great society. She's the only sister who can truly recall when her family used to be wealthy, and she feels nostalgic about those past times worth remembering. Her fantasy is to be wealthy once again, and have a big mansion with tons of servants and costly belongings. She's additionally somewhat of a sentimental; when she needs to tell a story to delight her sisters, it's about love and marriage, and Jo begins to suspect at an early stage that Meg may have a genuine Prince Charming in her thoughts. Meg is sweet-natured, devoted, and not in the least flirtatious – truth be told, she's unreasonably great and proper. Maybe that's the reason she's so alarm by her sister Jo's boisterous, tomboyish behavior.

What type of poem is this?
ad-work [718]

I can't really tell you what it is, but I can give you the definition of each of those terms.

"Ode is a formal, often ceremonious lyric poem that addresses and often celebrates a person, place, thing, or idea. Its stanza forms vary. The Greek or Pindaric (Pindar, ca. 552–442 B.C.E."

"Sonnet is a fixed verse form of Italian origin consisting of 14 lines that are typically 5-foot iambics rhyming according to a prescribed scheme also : a poem in this pattern."

"A haiku is considered to be more than a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence. It should leave the reader with a strong feeling or impression."

"The sestina follows a strict pattern of the repetition of the initial six end-words of the first stanza through the remaining five six-line stanzas, culminating in a three-line envoi. The lines may be of any length, though in its initial incarnation, the sestina followed a syllabic restriction."

*Not my words!*

Hope this helps!
