Answer:

His explanations depict him as a bit defensive.

Explanation:

Being on the defensive is a seemingly self-protective attitude when a danger is foreseen or someone who can do us harm. Based on this, we can see that the narrator of the text is on the defensive because he tries to protect himself from his past mistakes by persuading people to believe that he is able to work hard and succeed, as he can prove through his prior grades.

In your own words, define “ study habits.”
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Your study habits are those of what you do to learn new material and study for tests. These may include flash cards or using the popular sight called quizlet. Memorizing is a key aspect in study habits. Note taking is additional help. Taking notes inputs the information in one's brain while writing them and helps them remember it easier. Additionally notes are good for referencing later. For classes with lots of reading it means reading all the text however in this aspect note taking is tough but one just needs to make sure they know the full points.

Hope this helps

How are the speakers’ sense of goals different in because i could not stop for death and some keep the sabbath going to church?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is The speaker in the former knows exactly what her goal is, while the speaker in the latter believes that she has already achieved it.

Explanation:

In the poem <em>Because I could not stop for Death</em> the goal of the speaker is totally clear.

What she wants is for death to lead her to eternity.

The problem is that she realizes that death was not really her faithful friend who would take her to eternity, but that it took her to what would now be her new home: her new grave, <em>“A Swelling of the Ground."</em> which leads the speaker to realize the coldness and cruelty that death has.

While in the poem <em>"Some keep the Sabbath going to Church"</em> we can see how the speaker is really happy with his goal, which is to spend his church day at home. <u>She prefers to hear the birds sing rather than hear a sermon. </u>She does not need to hear how she has to get to heaven, because for her she has already arrived. And <u>she sees it in the nature that surrounds it, and in the tranquility of her home while doing the things she likes. </u>

Let's remember that<em> Emily Dickinson</em> was one of the greatest poetesses in history, and was characterized by her peculiar way of writing since her subjects were extravagant: she always talked about death and immortality.
