Who provided food for the Olmec rulers

English
1 answer:
jekas [21]2 years ago
4 0

The Olmecs practiced basic agriculture using the "slash-and-burn" technique, in which overgrown plots of land are burned: this clears them for planting and the ashes act as fertilizer. They planted many of the same crops seen in the region today, such as squash, beans, manioc, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes.

Answer:

A. alliteration

Explanation:

Alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound, such as many Mondays, or dazzling dream. This type of sound repetition can occur at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.

The traditional folk song “Shenandoah” is a good example of a lyric poem. It does not tell a story, but it does express the writer’s feelings.

Shenandoah

Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, you rolling river,

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, I’m bound away,

‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Shenandoah, I love your daughter,

Away, you rolling river,

I’ll take her ‘cross the rolling water,

Away, I’m bound away,

‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, you rolling river,

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, I’m bound away,

‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Refrain

A refrain is a line or group of lines repeated throughout a poem. A refrain can be

a line or two of verse that comes at the end of a stanza; or

a stanza that is repeated regularly throughout the poem.

In musical terms, the repeated lines sung after a stanza are called a chorus.

Rhythm

To put it into musical terms, rhythm is the beat of poetry. Because there is no drum or bass to define the beat of a poem, it is done through the choice and arrangement of words.

As you know, certain words or syllables of words are stressed when you speak. The pattern of stressed words and syllables found in a lyric poem helps build its rhythm. The rhythm pattern in poetry is called meter.

Before you go on, try this little exercise. Think of your favorite song again. Write the first verse of lyrics down on paper. Now, here is the hard part. Try to forget the music that the lyrics are set to and speak the words as a poem.

As you do so, underline the syllables that are stressed. This will show you the rhythm within the words, not just in the sound of the music. When you are done, you will have analyzed a piece of poetry for rhythm.

Rhyme

As you know, words that rhyme end with a similar sound. Rhyme and time, beat and heat, and friends and trends are all examples of rhyming words.

“Mary Had a Little Lamb” has only two rhyming words. Both come at the end of a line of verse.

As in rap lyrics, the use of rhyming in lyric poetry can be very elaborate. As you will see in “The Raven,” rhyming words can come at the end of lines of verse (end rhyme), or they can be located within one or more lines of verse (internal rhyme).

Rhetorical analysis for slapstick
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Slapstick is a type of physical comedy characterized by humour, absurd situations, and vigorous (sometimes violent) actions. The slapstick comic must often be an acrobat, a stunt performer and a magician—a master of uninhibited action and perfect timing.

Outrageous make-believe violence has always been a key attraction of slapstick comedy, and the form took its name from one of its favourite weapons, slapstick. A slapstick was originally a harmless paddle composed of two pieces of wood that slapped together to produce a resounding whack when the paddle struck someone. The slapstick first came into use in the 16th century, when Harlequin, one of the principal characters of the Italian commedia dell’arte, used it on the posteriors of his comic victims.

The rough-and-tumble of slapstick has been a part of low comedy and farce since ancient times, having been a prominent feature of Greek and Roman mime and pantomime, heavily padded clowns exchanged quips and beatings to the delight of the audience.

The Renaissance produced the athletic zanies of the commedia dell’arte and even rougher clowns, such as the hunchbacked, hook-nosed, wife-beating Pulcinella, who survived into the 20th century as the Punch of children’s puppet shows.

Slapstick reached another zenith during the late 19th century in English and American music-hall entertainment and vaudeville, and such English stars as George Formby and Gracie Fields carried its popularity well into the 20th century. Motion pictures provided even greater opportunities for visual gags, and comedians Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and Mack Sennett’s Keystone Kops introduced such classic routines as the mad chase scene and pie throwing, often made doubly hilarious by speeding up the camera action. Their example was followed in sound films by Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, and the Three Stooges, whose stage careers predated their films and whose films were frequently revived beginning in the 1960s and were affectionately imitated by modern comedy directors. The best of the slapstick comedians may be said to have turned low humour into high art.

The Three Stooges, American comedy team noted for violent anarchic slapstick and comedy routines rooted in the burlesque tradition. Six men were members of the team throughout the years: Shemp Howard (original name Samuel Horwitz; b. March 17, 1895, New York, New York, U.S.—d. November 23, 1955, Los Angeles, California), Moe Howard (original name Moses Horwitz; b. June 19, 1897, New York City—d. May 4, 1975, Los Angeles), Larry Fine (original name Louis Feinberg; b. October 5, 1902, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—d. January 24, 1975, Woodland Hills, California), Curly Howard (original name Jerome Horwitz; b. October 22, 1903, New York City—d. January 18, 1952, San Gabriel, California), Joe Besser (b. August 12, 1907, St. Louis, Missouri—d. March 1, 1988, North Hollywood, California), Joe DeRita (original name Joseph Wardell; b. July 12, 1909, Philadelphia—d. July 3, 1993, Woodland Hills).

The Stooges’ comic style was brash and brazen and was characterized by such cartoonishly violent acts as slapping, punching, eye-poking, and hair-pulling, all punctuated by exaggerated sound effects, and they often attacked one another with hammers, saws, and a variety of sharp and blunt objects.
