Hey!

A simple sentence is a sentence that is made up of 1 independent clause.

Example: I am a human.

A complex sentence is made up of 1 independent clause AND 1 or more subordinate clauses.

Example: Because I did my homework, I had an A in the class.

A compound-complex sentence is made up of 2 or more independent clauses and 1 or more subordinate clauses.

Example: Although I like reading books, I haven't read any this summer, and I don't think I have time to.

A compound sentence is made up of 2 independent clauses.

Example: I like reading books, and I also like taking pictures.

<em>I hope you find this useful :)</em>

What is most closely the meaning of expression as it is used in the following sentence (page 67)?
swat32

Answer:

C. noun | a particular look on someone’s face

Explanation:

In order to find the correct definition of the word expression in the context for this sentence, “The parkour was dead and Mildred kept peering in at it with a blank expression as Montag paced the floor and came back and squatted down and read a page as many as ten times, aloud,” you can think of synonyms for the key word, which is in this case the word expression.


If we think about the phrase, “Mildred kept peering in at it with a blank expression,” the best word to substitute expression would be a word like “look;” This phrase is describing the blank look, or expression, on Mildred’s face as Montag read the book. So, the definition that best fits this would be C, a particular look on someone’s face.

Answer:

The common theme of poem 'Invictus' and play 'The Crucible'  is fate and resilience.

Explanation:

"Invictus" is a poem written by William Ernest Henley. The poem is about the suffering or pains that the poet went through when he suffered from a bout with tuberculosis. The poem speaks about the times when a person goes through a dark and trying time and the ability of humans to overcome it. The main message of the poem or the theme is that human can control their fate through resilience.

This theme is evident in the last lines of the poem when the poet says that he is the master of his fate and his soul.

<em>"I am the master of my fate, </em>

<em>I am the captain of my soul."</em>

<em />

<em>"My head is bloody, but unbowed."</em>

<em />

"The Crucible" is a play written by Arthur Miller based on the true incidents of the Salem witch trials. The theme of fate and resilience can also be seen this play in the last scene of the play, when Proctor decided to control his fate. In the last scene of the play, Proctor refuses to sign his name on the paper and be hung on the wall of the church. He decided not to sign, because he knew he was innocent, not in the sight of men but in God. He knew that there is a greater Judgment than this is coming, which will prove his innocence. Thus he takes control of his fate by choosing to be hunged than be shamed and lose his name.  

<em>"PROCTOR: Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life. Because </em>

<em>I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? </em>

<em>I have given you my soul, leave me my name!"</em>

<em />

<em>"PROCTOR: (Crossing slowly to Elizabeth, takes her hand for a moment.) Pray God it  speak some goodness for me."</em>
