Sunflowers
by Beverly McLoughland

They stand along the railroad tracks
wide-eyed,
stretching their long necks,
gazing into the distance—
like impatient travelers
waiting for the 3 o’clock train.

Answer:

The flowers are personified as humans.

Explanation:

In the poem the writer uses words that make the flowers sound alive. Wide-eyed gazing into the distance, waiting for the 3 o'clock train. The flowers seem to be more alive this way rather than if you were to describe only their physical attributes.

What is the connotation of the words "Normal" and "Abnormal"? What is the intended effect?
wel
In relating to behavior, normal means ordinary. Someone who displays normal (and usually healthy) behavior like the majority of people. Abnormal behavior is just the opposite. 

For example: Person A sees a poisonous snake. They get away from the snake in fear. This person has normal behavior. Person B sees the same snake. They get on the ground and play with the snake. This person has abnormal behavior.

Read the passage from Animal Farm.
Lorico [155]

This is very interesting. I don't remember it at all, and I should. However, I think there is an answer.

First there is Boxer's reaction. He had a very pragmatic view of what the bank notes meant. If you can't eat them, of what value are they? They seem an awful trade to him: at least the timber had use.

So he doesn't like the deal, but the pigs are the masters and no one argues with them.

It isn't D. Fredrick is a louse. He will deceive anyone if there is gain for him in it.

Napoleon really isn't deceitful in this passage. He is very vain. C is not quite right, but it maybe your best answer.

I don't see what B has to do with anything.

A historically has not been proven to be true. Tread carefully around a dictator. They can do you a great deal of damage. Mao for example did not seek approval: he demanded it and he killed millions getting that approval. Same with Stalin.

It is either A or C. A is true of Napoleon. It is not true of the worst dictators of the last century. C doesn't seem to fit, but I can't get rid of it. The answer is between those two. You are going to have to pick or choose one of the other two. I'd pick A myself, but I'd sure be holding my nose.
