Instead of giving in to death, people should fight it

Explanation:

"Do not go gentle into that good night" is a poem by Dylan Thomas. It's said that he wrote it for his dying father.

The poem's main idea points to the fact that people should fight death instead of giving in to it.

The refrain, "Rage, rage against the dying of the light" gives a clear picture of the main idea of the poem.

Cheap and Frugal Which shows a negative connotation and which shows a positive connotation? Why?
evablogger [386]
Cheap is negative and Frugal is positive.

Cheap is negative because it is when somebody is afraid to spend money to have short-term savings and in the process they reduce the quality, value and time they have.

Frugal is positive because it is when someone prioritises their money and only spends on things they really need.

e.g someone cheap will buy lots of badly made chairs but a frugal person will buy one chair which will last longer.

When I Was Fair and Young"
harina [27]
<span>(a) List at least three examples of diction in the text that add to the overall tone. Explain how each word contributes to the emotional power of the piece.

Answer: After reading the text presented above the three examples of diction that I found add the overall tone to this text are the following: Importune, Pine, and Scorn. Each of this give the reader understand the emotional power to the piece. For example Importune tell us that she is bothered by the man and wanted to be left alone. Pine, which means to yearn, gives us the feeling that she misses the time when men longed for her. And finally Scorn which means that she wanted to be left alone in a negative manner.

(b) list at least three examples of imagery in the text that add to the overall tone. Explain how each description contributes to the emotional power of the piece.

Answer: The three examples of imagery that I could found in the text and that add the overall tone are the following: “But I the prouder grew” -It shows the readers the pride she felt and how much regret she felt. , “I will so pluck your plumes” - It represents the pain of the people she hurt., and “When I was fair and young” - Repent and regret of how she acted when she was young and beautiful.

(c) List the examples of important details the author chose to include. Explain how these details contribute to the emotional power of the piece.

Answer: I believe that the important details the author chose to include where the way how she responded to the attention from men she had at the time. This not only shows us the readers the mistakes she made but also the reason for her sincere repent.

(d) list the examples of important details the author chose to omit. Explain how these missing details contribute to the emotional power of the piece.

Answer: I believe the the important details the author chose to omit are the fact of whether or not she chose a man later on or if she later on fell victim to her own decision of turning them away.

I hope it helps, Regards.<span /><span>

Write four to five sentences supporting the inference that the British waited until they were sure the telegram would encourage
Brrunno [24]
Answer : The details in this passage lead to the inference that the British waited until they were sure the telegram would encourage the US to enter the war. Hall knew that "outrage was growing in America over Germany's announcement late in the day of January 31 that the German navy would resume unrestricted submarine warfare." Hall knew that the US was close to getting involved in the war, but he waited until "February 24, when Hall sensed that the Zimmermann telegram would tip the balance in favor of the U.S. joining the Allied forces." Because Hall waited to share the telegram, a logical inference is that he wanted to be sure that it would be effective when he did .
