The correct answer is "falling action". A falling action of a poem occurs when the climax of the story has passed, and the narrative is wrapped up and gives a closure. The excerpt from “How I Learned English" shown in the question, gives a closure by stating that the speakers does everything right but still feeling desperate with the problems.

Answer:

At first glance, Ralph is a central character who starts and completes William Golding novel The Lord of the Flies. From the onset of the novel, he is described as a “fair boy” with an “attractive appearance” (p7, 29). The author compares his stature as that of a boxer, “as far as width and heaviness of shoulders went, but there was a mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil” (p11). He has the physique and presence of a typical leader – strong but with a kind heart that makes him trustworthy. He is also described as being in an intermediate state, who has “lost prominent tummy of childhood and not yet old enough for adolescence” (p11). From this, the readers can infer that Ralph is still just another innocent boy not ready to realize the malicious evils of mankind.

The other boys initially accept Ralph as a leader. He is the first to summon all the boys with the conch, which serves as a symbol and token of authority. Although Jack expresses strong desire to become chief, the boys elect Ralph as a leader, suggesting an air of charisma that made him worthy of his position. He believes a leader has to “think, be wise… grab at a decision”, someone who can look after others and keep the group in

There are times when he discovers his own inner savage. He joins the hunt with Jack and rest of the group and becomes mesmerized over it, thinking, “hunting was good after all” (p162). He unleashes himself from the restraints of civilization and participates in the killing of Simon. He is, after all, just another innocent boy, a victim of the island. Nevertheless, he does remain as the last remnants of civilization until the ship arrives on the island. Although he did make it out of the forces of savagery, his new knowledge about mankind’s evil nature will change him forever, leaving him “weeping for the loss of innocence, and the darkness of man’s heart”

In the diagram of the five-paragraph essay, what do the two arrows indicate?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A. the positions of the thesis statement

Explanation:

  What mainly gives it away for me is the arrow at the bottom of the triangle near the top. You <em>usually</em> want to end your topic paragraph with your thesis. Then, you restate it in the beginning of your conclusion followed by a summary and finishing up your essay in the last paragraph.

Let us look at the other options.

     B. the positions of the hook sentences

-> Why would you want to hook your readers at the end of your intro paragraph, or even at the end of your essay? This option doesn't make sense.

     C. the positions of the topic sentences

-> This is another good option, but the topic statement is very similar to the thesis, but they are usually the start of your <em>body</em> paragraphs.

     D. the positions of the introductions

-> Why would you have an introduction at the end of your paragraph? This option also doesn't make sense.

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

Billy Joel Poetry Assignment (Add space as necessary to complete assignment.) Name______________________________________________
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

poem Title  : My life by  Billy Joel

This is a song about strength. The strength to  self re-examine oneself, and the strength to go about life the way you desire it. The strength move away from aspect of your life you are not okay with. The strength to avoid toxic people around you, people who only see things in their own perspective. The poem was written during an era when the social expectation was mostly about conforming, doing things that the society expected even if it is driving you nut.

Quotations important to the song

1.<em>Got a call from an old friend</em>

<em>We used to be real close</em>

<em>Said he couldn't go on the American way</em>

<em>Closed the shop, sold the house</em>

<em>Bought a ticket to the West Coast</em>

<em>Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A</em>

   This gives us a background of who the song is directed to, someone who used to be very close to him but has take to another path in life and was expecting him is to join him on it.

2. <em>I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright</em>

<em>I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home</em>

<em>I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life</em>

<em>Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone</em>

<em />

This section potrayed his insistence on followinng his own path, not just conforming to others expectation.

3.<em> They will tell you, you can't sleep alone in a strange place</em>

<em>Then they'll tell you, you can't sleep with somebody else</em>

<em>Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space</em>

<em>Either way it's okay you wake up with yourself</em>

this section is defined what he is expected to do, represeting societal expectations he is expected to conform with.

4. I never said you had to offer me a second chance

(I never said you had to)

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

This section is portrays that he is ready to find his own path in life rather than conforming. it shows strenght to explore and seek more in his own way

Discussable question that the poem evokes in your mind as a reader

The main question raise in the poem is about conforming. why should we conform? why we limit ourself just to satisfy others? why should we be something else other than what we truly want?
