e. As Mr. John Oakhurst, gambler, stepped into the main street of Poker Flat on the morning of the twenty third of November, 1850, he was conscious of a change in its moral atmosphere since the preceding night. (Bret Harte, "The Outcasts of Poker Flat") Next, he gathered dry grasses and tiny twigs from the high water flotsam. (Jack London, "To Build a Fire") For a week last September, migrating red winged blackbirds were feeding heavily down by the creek at the back of the house. (Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek) They lived in a forlorn looking house that stood alone, and had an air of starvation. (Washington Irving, "The Devil and Tom Walker") [She] had kindled the callow fancy of the most idle and shiftless of all the village lads, and had conceived for this Howard Carpenter one of those absurd and extravagant passions which a handsome country boy of twenty one sometimes inspires in a plain, angular, spectacled woman of thirty.

Why does hermis not want anyone near her?
sveta [45]

Answer:

Hermia does not want to sleep with Lysander until they are married. This scene occurs in Act II Scene II. Hermia has run away to be with Lysander instead of Demetrius and expects to be married to him soon, but she believes that proper maids and bachelors do not sleep together before marriage. Lysander tells her that he only wanted to sleep close to her innocently, but she resists. The following quotation is her response to his suggestion that they sleep side-by-side:

But, gentle friend, for love and courtesy

Lie further off; in human modesty,

Such separation as may well be said

Becomes a virtuous bachelor and a maid,

So far be distant; and, good night, sweet friend:

Thy love ne'er alter till thy sweet life end!

In this same night, Puck puts the love potion on Lysander's eyes because he was instructed by Oberon to give it to an Athenian man without specifying which one. Lysander awakes and falls in love with Helena, the first woman he sees. The crazy web of misplaced love begins to unravel from here.

The major theme of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is that ________________.
oksano4ka [1.4K]
<span>The major theme of "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is that D. none of the responses.
I believe D is the correct answer because the rest of the options have nothing to do with the poem. The poem is about doing something bad, and then having to live with it, and search for the people who will be willing to listen to your sad story.

Read the excerpt from "Verses Upon the Burning of our House." Here stood that Trunk, and there that chest, There lay that store
Klio2033 [76]

The connotative meaning of the word “trunk” in the poem is “a container”. In the poem “<em>Verses Upon the Burning of our House</em>” by Anne Bradstreet (1666), the author expresses the traumatic <u>loss of her home and her possessions</u>. After awakening to the tragic event, she goes outside and watches her house and possessions burning down. Once the fire has been put out, she mourns for the physical items destroyed: the <em>trunk </em>and the <em>chest</em>, everything she “<em>counted best</em>”; her “<em>pleasant things</em>”.
