Answer:
The thought that is implied by the poem's first four lines is: the speaker wishes to live a carefree life.
Explanation:
Let's first take a look at the lines we are analyzing here:
<em>To fling my arms wide</em>
<em>In some place of the sun</em>
<em>To whirl and to dance</em>
<em>Till the white day is done.</em>
There is no way to know if the speaker is male or female, young or old. It could be Hughes himself, but it could also be a child. The description is quite childlike: "to fling my arms wide" is something children are more likely to do. But, imagine an adult, oppressed, hardened by prejudice and struggle, who finally achieves his dreams. To finally be free of worried, of fear, and of injustice. Wouldn't that adult feel like a child again? Carefree and happy?
That is what the four lines above seem to emphasize. The speaker wants a carefree life. He or she wants to play, to dance, to laugh his days away.
Answer:
As Dad was tucking us into bed and he switched off our light. My sister said, "I still do not believe in Monsters and Fairies". I think I went to sleep at about 10 o'clock.
I kept looking out the window at the full moon which was very bright. The trees were waving in the strong wind. I could hear wolves and possums in the trees.
That night as the window swung open a Monster jumped through the window and snatched me out of my bed. The Monster had red eyes, big fangs and was dribbling and looking very hungry.
When I woke up I was in a dark scary cave. The cave was misty and hard to breathe in. Then I heard a buzzing sound and a few seconds later I saw mini fairies with swords and gold shiny armour. Their swords were as sharp as the Monster's fangs.
Above me the black scary Monsters and the fairies had a big punch up.
When the Monster and the fairies were fighting I slipped away and ran to my house.
This time I really did live happliy ever after.
Explanation:
The last answer I'm not sure of this
<em>Determine the main idea</em>
<em>The main idea is: Flying in a plane is a good opportunity for people to learn about the geological features of the earth below them.</em>
- <em>This sentence is the primary point that wants to be communicated in the text. The topic is “learning about geological features”, and “flying in a plane offers a great opportunity to learn geological features” is the concept that the writer uses to convey the topic. The first three lines are used by the writer, to smoothly introduce the main idea. The first three lines take us to the main idea through an anecdote, which helps us in arriving to the topic in a familiar tone. The rest of the sentences after the main idea, help us in understanding what comes after that experience, this is how the writer took advantage of his realization.</em>
