What would an author mean if they used the idiom, "The sound of the dripping water was driving me up a wall?"

Paraphin [41]

I agree with the person above - the correct answer is He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
This line clearly shows how different these two men are - pines and apples are obviously quite different. On one hand, there is this neighbor who wants to build a wall between him and the world, and on the other, there is our narrator who wants to tear the wall down.

Sample Letter to the Editor to Highlight the Effects of Air Pollution

56 C, Uppal

East Hyderabad

Hyderabad – 500095

3rd, January, 2022

The Editor

The Indian Express

Secunderabad

Hyderabad – 500003

Subject: Increase of air pollution in East Hyderabad

Respected Sir/Ma’am,

I am Drishya, a member of NGO Prada. I am writing to you to bring to your notice the increasing effect of air pollution in our neighbourhood and in the surrounding area.

East Hyderabad has seen a rapid increase in the use of private transportation and the number of industrial sectors that have come up in recent years. This has increased the risks of serious health hazards, including breathing difficulties, chronic diseases, lung damage, nausea, fatigue, etc. The hospitals around the area have already seen an unexpected rise in the number of patients showing symptoms of chronic illness, and it is important that people and government authorities are made aware of this dangerous situation at the earliest.

Owing to the seriousness of this situation, I request you to kindly highlight the issue so that some action can be taken to curb the effect of air pollution and decrease the risk of people being affected by it.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely,

Signature

explain why the author felt "safe" in Manitou. how might her perceptions of this place reflect her native american beliefs

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Linda Hogan claimed she felt safe in Manitou for she believes "the underground movement of water and heat [were] a constant reminder of other life, of what lives beneath us, [and that] seemed to be the center of the world".

This place, to her, felt like the perfect amalgamation of the spatial barrier that the native Americans believe as the world of their ancestors. And in her exclamation of this place as the center of the world, she also shows that she holds a belief in the very belief of the native Americans.

Explanation:

Linda Hogan in her book "Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World" talks about the houses we live in, and how they depend on humans to be deemed living spaces. She talks about her lifelong fascination and love for the world, the earth, where we live, delving into the relationship between the spaces that humans dwell in and the rest of nature.

Hogan stated that "she felt safe in Manitou" due to the fact that it reminded her of the "other life, of what lives beneath us". She mentioned that "with the underground movement of water and heat [...] it seemed to be the center of the world". 

This shows that her deep-rooted belief in the native American belief system is reflected in her own sense of comparison between the two spaces, that of humans and nature. She discusses how both spaces are necessary for the healthy psyche of a person and how interconnected the two are.

Dr. Alan Brinkley argues that history can be written in such a way that our history is fixed and unchanging, like this enormous

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The southeastern face of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota’s Black Hills National Forest is the site of four gigantic carved sculptures depicting the faces of U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. Led by the sculptor Gutzon Borglum, work on the project began in 1927 and was finally completed in 1941. Over that time period, some 400 workers erected the sculpture under dangerous conditions, removing a total of 450,000 tons of rock in order to create the enormous carved heads, each of which reached a height of 60 feet (18 meters). In sculptor Gutzon Borglum’s original design, the four presidents were meant to be represented from the waist up, but insufficient funding brought the carving to a halt after completion of their faces. Known as the “Shrine of Democracy,” Mount Rushmore welcomes upwards of 2 million visitors every year, and is one of America’s most popular tourist attractions.
