In "Do not go gentle into that good night" by Dylan Thomas, the disability (incapacity) that provokes wise men into not meeting death gently is:

- Their incapacity to leave a mark in the world, to make a difference.

In the second stanza of the poem "Do not go gentle into that good night," the speaker says that wise men know very well that death is natural and will happen to all of us.

Yet, there is something that does not allow them to just meet death gently:

<em>Though wise men at their end know dark is right, </em>

<em>Because their words had forked no lightning they </em>

<em>Do not go gentle into that good night.</em>

<em />

When the speaker says, "their words had forked no lightning," what he means is that these wise men do not wish to die because they still haven't left their mark in the world.

They want to fight death, stay alive, so that they can make a difference.

Therefore, we can say that their incapacity to leave a mark in the world is what provokes them into not meeting death gently.

Read this passage from Sonnet 116 by Shakespeare.
Shkiper50 [21]

The correct answer is A. Time will change our youthful appearance, but it will not change  true love.

Explanation:

In Sonnet 116, Shakespeare explains love always prevails and it is not affected by time. To begin the author mentions "Love's not time's fool", which shows love will not be negatively affected by time, this is also supported by the line "Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks." Besides this, the author clarifies, the time might affect physical appearance this is expressed in "though rosy lips and cheeks  Within his bending sickle's compass come". According to this, the idea about time in the poem is that it can change appearance but not love or "time will change our youthful appearance, but it will not change  true love."

Which sentence from the story best supports the reason why anne is writing in a diary?
padilas [110]

Answer:

"Paper has more patience than people." I thought of this saying on one of those days when I was feeling a little depressed and was sitting at home with my chin in my hands, bored and listless, wondering whether to stay in or go out. I finally stayed where I was, brooding. Yes, paper does have more patience, and since I'm not planning to let anyone else read this stiff-backed notebook grandly referred to as a "diary," unless I should ever find a real friend, it probably won't make a bit of difference.

GuDViN [60]

The Puritans disapproved of the Church of England because they felt that it retained the flaws of the Roman Catholic Church. They refused to the rules of the Church of England or to attend its services. The English government targeted the Puritans for persecution in the form of fines and imprisonment.
