Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave:

In which excerpt from John Donne's a valediction forbidding mourning indicates what the speaker does not want his wife to mourn?

Svetllana [295]

The answer is:

d. thy firmness makes my circle just/and makes me end

In John Donne's poem "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning," the author intends to express his desire to have a peaceful death in which his wife does not mourn him. He suggests their love is so strong that it goes beyond the physical state and will continue after death. Morever, he compares their love to a compass - his wife is the foot of the compass, which helps him create a perfect circle. As a result, he implies his wife's strength makes him complete and have a dignified and respectable death.

Lizabeths apology letter

Ket [755]

We can write a letter as if we were Lizabeth from "Marigolds," apologizing to Miss Lottie about the garden and explaining what happened that night.

<h3>A letter from Lizabeth</h3>

Lizabeth is the main character and narrator in the short story "Marigolds." One night, angry and disillusioned about life, Lizabeth destroys the only beautiful things in the poverty-stricken neighborhood where she lives - Miss Lottie's marigolds. This is the moment where Lizabeth stops being a child and begins to mature.

A letter from Lizabeth would most likely apologize and try to explain things to Miss Lottie. An example of such a letter is the following:

-"Dear Miss Lottie,

Even though I know what I did is beyond repair, I am writing to beg for your forgiveness. There is no excuse for ruining the poor, innocent flowers, but I will nonetheless try to explain my awful actions.

That night was the first moment in my life where I understood things. I had finally realized how poor we really are - all of us. I saw sadness in despair in my own father, the very man I thought was infallible. I saw my own impotence as a child, as well as my own ignorance of the world and how cruel it is.

There was rage inside me, and I felt the need to destroy in order to let it out. The poor marigolds were too beautiful - the only representation of beauty in our neighborhood, Miss Lottie. So I killed them, for I couldn't allow such beauty to exist in such a cold, ugly world.

I will be forever sorry, Miss Lottie. I saw it in your eyes that night that you knew there was something wrong, something happening to me. That gives me the hope that you might understand and forgive.

Lizabeth"

What does vonnegut mean by, "have the guts to cut"

pashok25 [27]

It means dont try and make a sentence look pretty. If it doesnt appeal to your target then it doesnt appeal to them and you lose them making your writing boring.
