Why is rachel carsons work considered green literature?
jekas [21]
That's because she was an activist for environmental protection. Green as an adjective often refers not to the color, but rather to describe someone who is environmentally friendly. In this case, her literature fought for preserving the nature and save the environment, so it is therefore green.

From what is indicated in Shelly's poem, do you think Ozymandias was a great leader? What makes a great leader?
hoa [83]

Answer:

As indicated in the poem, one can perceive that Ozymandias was a tyrannical ruler. He ruled out of fear and with a sense of control.

A great leader is the one who leads keeping in mind his/her people and for their good.

Explanation:

"Ozymandias" is a poem written by P. B. Shelley. The poem is about King Ozymandias, who ruled Egypt sometime between 1279-1213 B.C.E.

From the poem by Shelley, one can perceive that Ozymandias was a tyrannical ruler. As written on the pedestal of the statue, <em>"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; / Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!",</em> the King appears to be boastful instead of a great ruler. He might have ruled with great achievements but now he standstill in a desert with nothing around him. A great leader is the one who is concerned for his people. One who thinks of their benefit.
