The option which best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead" is:

A. the fall of America.

This question refers to the poem "America" by Jamaican-American author <u>Claude McKay</u>, more specifically to lines 11 to 14, in which the speaker addresses the fall of America:

<em>"Darkly I gaze into the </em><em>days ahead</em><em>,</em>

<em>And see her might and granite wonders there,</em>

<em>Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,</em>

<em>Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."</em>

  • What the speaker means is that he sees the fall of America in "the days ahead." Throughout the poem, the speaker talks of his bittersweet relationship with America. His feelings are somewhere between love and hate or resentment.
  • Although he can see America's wonders, beauty, and potential, he can also see its flaws - the prejudice, the corruption.
  • <u>In conclusion</u>, the speaker believes America's fate is a bad one. In the future, the country will fall.

What elements are required for a poem to be considered a free verse?
Blababa [14]
“Free verse is an open form of poetry, which in its modern form arose through the French vers libre form. It does not use consistent metre patterns, rhyme, or any musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.”

How do I do my first body paragraph on an essay about " How My Family Celebrates Holidays and Birthdays " ?
AleksandrR [38]

Introductory Sentence: This is the first sentence of the body paragraph. It should inform your readers of what you will be talking about in that passage. Make sure to keep it brief. An example of an introductory sentence is, "For holidays, my family sets up the decorations, cooks a meal, and invites all of the relatives over."

Supporting Sentences: These should support your introductory sentence. If you're talking about a holiday celebration, you may want to describe any traditions you have. (There are usually around 5 supporting sentences in each body paragraph.)

Concluding Sentence: This sentence should sum of the main idea of the paragraph and hint at what will be coming in the next passage so you can make a smooth transition.

How did Duckworth’s experiences as a teacher contribute to the text?
pogonyaev

Angela Duckworth was teaching math when she noticed something intriguing: The most successful students weren’t always the ones who displayed a natural aptitude; rather, they displayed something she came to think of as grit. Later, as a graduate student in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, she defined the term — a combination of passion and perseverance for a singularly important goal — and created a tool to measure it: the “grit scale,” which predicted outcomes like who would graduate from West Point or win the National Spelling Bee. As a result of this work, Dr. Duckworth was named a MacArthur “genius” in 2013, and the notion of grit has become widely known. Her new book, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance,”
