"To fall prostrate" means to fall down at someone's feet. Usually this is done to someone in a position of higher power to show respect or grovel for something. Juliet is falling at her father's feet for "forgiveness" about how she acted earlier, but the double meaning is that the Friar also gave her the potion that is going to make her fall down as if she is dead.
<span>a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.</span>
Ok so in basic terms, ad hominem is attacking your opponent and not there position. An example would be:
You cannot believe my opponent; his hair is untidy and his visage is beyond unprofessional.
By saying that the opponent is "untidy and unprofessional", you are attacking his character. Rather than arguing against his position, the attack of the opponent's character is Ad hominem.
I hope this helps :-)
The drops can be considered a type of poison or blessing in Rowena's life, as they were placed by an unknown individual and caused her death.
Although you haven't shown the story this question refers to, we can say from the context of the question that it refers to "Ligeia" written by Edgar Alan Poe.
About "Ligeia" we can say that:
- This is a short story that shows a narrator in love with Ligeia, a beautiful and intelligent woman.
- The narrator, however, marries Rowena, a woman he does not love and does not intend to love.
- Ligeia dies throughout the story, which leaves the narrator extremely depressed and violent.
- Rowena is very afraid of him and lives miserable, trapped in a loveless marriage. This deteriorates her health very badly.
- When Rowena is agonizing in her bed, a mysterious and invisible individual drops red drops into the glass that Rowena goes to have a drink from.
- These drops cause Rowena's death.
- In this case, the drops can be seen as a poison, which took Rowena's life, or as a blessing, as it brought peace to her soul.
- The mysterious individual can be interpreted as the spirit of Ligeia, who wished to free Rowena from her suffering, or as the narrator who caused Rowena's death as a way of getting rid of her presence.
Based on this, we can see that Poe wanted to convey a very strong message through the short story. This message showed that love is such a strong and overwhelming feeling that it can create terrible and frightening situations.

Answer:
Summary:
Explanation:
A grandmother and her granddaughter are inside making a snack and some tea. To kill some time while the water boils, they read the almanac and make jokes out of what they find. Even though the grandmother is laughing, it seems she is upset about something, because she's trying to hide her tears.
At this point, both the grandmother and the grandchild seem to disappear into their own private thoughts. The grandmother thinks how her sadness might be connected to the time of year, and the child is distracted by the condensation forming on the teakettle. While the grandmother tidies up—hanging the almanac back on its string, putting more wood on the stove—the child draws a picture of a house and a man "with buttons like tears" to show to her grandma.
The poem ends in a pretty imaginative way, with the almanac dropping imaginary moons from its pages into the flower bed of the kid's drawing, then saying "time to plant tears"; the grandmother singing to the stove; and the child drawing another scribble of a house with her crayons.
