<h3>What the speaker says in "Sonnet 18"</h3>

In "Sonnet 18", the speaker is complimenting the person he loves. He thinks that comparing her to a summer day will not be good enough, since she has more and better qualities:

"Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate..."

The speaker also says, towards the end of the poem, that the person he loves will never die for she will be immortalized in the poem. As long as people read the poem, she will exist:

"So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

With the information above in mind, we can choose options A and B respectively as the best choices.

I need someone to write an objective summary about the story “after twenty years.” By O.Henry.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer: The story begins with a beat cop walking down a New York City street on a rainy, windy night. The cop projects a sense of strength and rectitude, and takes his rounds very seriously, trying all the doors of the shops as he passes them to ensure that they are locked and secured for the evening. When he sees a man standing near one of the closed stores, he approaches, and the man begins to explain his presence, telling him that he is waiting for an old friend. Twenty years before, he and his friend made a pact to meet at that site. He acknowledges that it’s a pretty odd place to meet, explaining that twenty years before it was a restaurant owned by a man named Big Joe Brady. The cop tells him that the restaurant closed down about five years before. The man, who is wearing a very large jewel as a tie pin, goes on to tell the cop that twenty years before he met his friend Jimmy Wells there. They were best friends and had grown up in New York City. He describes them as almost like brothers. The day after their dinner the man was scheduled to begin a trip out West to seek his fortune, but Jimmy believed the best place for him to be was New York, and opted to stay behind. They then made their agreement to meet on the same spot in twenty years, because they were each confident of having achieved great things in that time. The cop finds himself interested in the story, and asks if they stayed in touch during that time. The man admits that they tried to and wrote each other for a little while, but stopped after a few years. He moved around too much to keep up a correspondence. Despite this gap in their communication, the man is confident that Jimmy will meet him as promised, because Jimmy was an extremely reliable person. He tells the cop that he traveled a very long way to be there, but will consider it worth it if he gets to see his friend again. He checks the time on an expensive watch and notes that it is three minutes to ten, and ten o’clock was when they said goodbye twenty years before. The cop, noting the jewel and the watch, suggests that the man was very successful out West, and the man enthusiastically confirms this. He expresses hope that Jimmy has done just as well for himself, but he notes that Jimmy was a â€›slow mover’ and is worried he may not have made his way very far in New York City. The cop makes to leave, and offers his hope that Jimmy shows up. He asks if the man will leave if Jimmy doesn’t make it by ten o’clock. The man says he’ll wait at least an additional half hour, because he has total faith that if Jimmy is alive he will make the appointment. The cop accepts this and leaves.The rain gets heavier, and the man waits. After about twenty minutes, a tall man appears wearing a long coat and hurries over. He asks if the man’s name if Bob, but sounds doubtful. The man says it is, and asks if it’s Jimmy Wells. He is, and they shake. Jimmy expresses a wish that the old restaurant was still there so they could have one more dinner in it, and then asks if Bob’s time out West was good to him. Bob assures him that it has been. Bob then notes that Jimmy seems to be taller than he used to be, and Jimmy assures him that he grew a little after he left. Bob asks if Jimmy’s doing well, and Jimmy says he is, and that he works for the city. Jimmy suggests they go to a place he knows so they can talk. Bob and Jimmy begin to walk, arm in arm. Bob tells Jimmy the story of his life, and Jimmy listens, obviously interested. When they reach a corner and stand under a streetlight, however, Bob pulls away and declares that the other man is not Jimmy Wells.

HELP PLEASE I REALY NEED HELP

Andrew [12]

Explanation:

Focus: the focus in the first passage is about how he came to be in time everything he went through stating his full name birth date and birth place also the dates of everything that had happened in his life

Amount of detail: the amount of detail is of an outsider looking in only stating what was already been said and detail was more dry than and auto-bio would have been because the person writing about it wasn't the person who experienced these things and didn't hear the exact words that were said at certain moments

use of language: this type of language sounds more like their trying to tell you not show you what happened so you cant really imagen what happened at those certain events unless you did your own deep research

tone: this tone was rather professional and informative than anything like i said before They were telling you rather than showing you what happened

message : the message was how successful Ben was in all the events that occurred

AUTO

Focus: the focus was more on his life and how he felt and how he felt time was passing

Amount of detail: the amount of detail helped you imagen more of everything the amount of detail was very good here and helped you see what was going on less dry than the Bio

Use of language: At this aspect you can see that he took time to write his life out with consideration and his use of language here was very smooth and flowed very nicely together

Tone : his tone was more relaxed as he was trying to inform you as much as possible telling you his hopes and dreams growing up the things people said to him and turning points

Message: the message here was clear and inspiring he tells you how much better his imagination and life has gotten better all because he read and read he even got smarter and became a product of inspiration him self like he had hoped all his life

Hope this helps!!! ^-^
