Which words from the excerpt describe Morris’s feelings about the absence of things?
zubka84 [21]

Hello. You forgot to add the necessary text to answer this question. The required text is:

"Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences.

And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me.

If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I don't believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesn't want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like."

The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there.

I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea."

Answer:

Unbroken, Power, Spiritual

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that Morris feels good and comfortable with the house that is totally empty. Morris feels that the house is ideal for himself, because it does not overwhelm his conscience and still leaves him with a sense of freedom, simplicity and allowed him to feel happy with his own company.

In the text we can see some words that describe well what Morris is feeling. These words are "Unbroken" (the spell that made him so comfortable with the emptiness of things), Power (when he says that the white, empty walls of the house brought a sense of peace and power, similar to what the monks feel) and "Spiritual" (where he claims that this feeling could be the result of a spiritual force.

What biological link does the author establish
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

According to the author, the biological link between love and anger is found in the Prefrontal Cortex. This part of the brains neural system, which is responsible for <em>rage</em>, shares proximity with the cranial centers that anticipate rewards. The author also posits that winning a beloved one is interpreted as a type of reward by the brain.

The brain, as posited, responds with frustration when love as a stimulus is withdrawn from it. This observation is called the "Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis".

Cheers!

Which of the following is NOT an important component of the publishing phase of writing?
8090 [49]
Margins are not an important component of the publishing phase of writing. On the other hand, when text should meet it's first readers, other three listed components are pretty important. You should choose the good font, which is easy and enjoyable to read. Also, if you want to introduce yourself as a serious writer, you can not leave spelling mistakes in your text. Spacing is equally important. If you don't separate the words and sentences precisely, you will look sloppy, and the reader may have difficulties understanding your text.
