Answer:

A). 'Birches' is categorized as one of the most acknowledged poems of Robert Frost. The elements employed by him to reflect the impact of ice-storms on Birches would include the descriptions like

'after a rain, They click upon themselves

As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored

As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.

Soon the sun’s warmth makes them shed crystal shells

Shattering and avalanching on the snow crust'

These descriptions reveal the impact of ice-storms like 'shattering and avalanching' have been detailed through the use of imagery that offers a sensory experience to the audience so, they would be able to connect to it and understand the drastic impact of ice-storms and therefore, 'they would not be able to bounce back'.

B). The major idea behind portraying these radical impacts of ice-storm on the beautiful and serene 'Birches' tree is to reflect the transcendent and accomplished potential of nature to encounter the hardships with strength and vigor. The author suggests that the human conflict between imagination and reality. <u>The carefree childhood represents 'imagination' while the 'ice-storms' reflect the harsh reality of life. The 'unbending' and 'enduring' nature of Birch trees reflect that life cannot be reversed(unbending) and one can only 'hope' and 'endure' the reality of life. </u>

Comic books are worthwhile and should be read by adults and children why please explain.
Brums [2.3K]

Comic books are worthwile to read by everyone because they are another art form. Whether a book has photos, small print, boxes, whatever, they all have a meaning. The stereotype that comics book are just for kids or are only superhero related is outdated and leaves the wonderful world seeming closed off to so many.

1. if a load of bread cost 25 cents two years ago, how much does it cost now
zzz [600]

Answer:

It goes around 63 to 75 cents

Explanation:

The text mentions that prices in Ethiopia have been rapidly rising in the last two years and that things have changed greatly.

It is mentioned in the text (the third paragraph) how the prices have been raised to 250 to 300 percent. <u>This means they are 2.5 to 3 times higher</u>.

In case the loaf of bread was 25 cents two years ago, <u>today in Ethiopia it would cost around 63 to 75 cents</u>.

We count these final prices by multiplying 0.25 with 2.5 and 3.
