What is poem ?

Poetry (derived from the Greek poiesis, also known as verse, is a type of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic language qualities such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre to evoke meanings in addition to, or instead of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary creation composed by a poet that follows this rule.

Poetry has a vast and varied history, evolving in different ways across the world. It may be traced back to ancient periods in Africa with hunting poetry and panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River basins. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa may be found in the Pyramid Texts, which were composed in the 25th century BCE.

Hence option C is correct.

Is a mother's love strong enough to cause the destruction of masterpieces worth millions of dollars? If the confession of the mother of an accused art thief is to be believed, the answer is yes. The story begins in October of 2012, when works by Picasso, Monet, Matisse, and others were stolen from a museum in the Netherlands. In July of 2013, Olga Dogaru disclosed that her son hid the stolen art in her tiny Romanian town. When he was arrested, she decided to remove the evidence that could connect him to the crime. She placed all the paintings in a wood-burning stove and set them afire. Initial forensic investigation of the stove indicates that Dogaru is telling the truth and the art was burned.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The feelings and emotions that are expressed in the descriptions of Equiano’s village are of nostalgia for his birthplace.

In my opinion, what readers can learn from reading these excerpts of the memoir is the fond memories Equiano had for his village, his people, traditions, culture, and customs.

He describes the landmark. A place full of vegetation, where people grew fruits and vegetables. He refers to the clothes the people used. Nothing fancy. Those were simple and comfortable clothes.

How does H. G. Wells refute the theory of social Darwinism in The Time Machine?

Answers

Answer:

By showing that both the upper and lower classes have evolved into degraded forms .

Explanation:

Social Darwinism is a theory of social selection that seems to infer to the same theory of natural selection the way Charles Darwin had implied in his distribution of plants and animals. This theory may be applied to the concepts of sociology, politics, and economics.

The science-fictional novella "The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells evolves around the theme of time travel and how this concept of social Darwinism also applies to the people n society. But contrary to the way Darwin approaches or shows, Wells refutes this theory when he presents the case of the Morlocks and the Eloi. The Eloi were beautiful and perfect in every way but lazy to do any work. The Morlocks, on the other hand, were primitive and aggressive, with both classes degrading in their trajectory. This is how he refutes the Social Darwinism theory, showing how both classes of the society, upper and lower, have evolved into a much more degrading form from their regular one.

Which best states the central idea of the following passage
Many teenagers often mow lawns, shovel snow, or babysit to make extra
money. But there's one very fun and highly profitable business that young folks
should look into: dog walking. According to a recent study in Business Life
magazine, over 40 percent of dog owners rely on someone else to walk their pet,
and 80 percent of those people would be open to trusting the right teen to do the
job. One 13-year-old who's found success in this industry is Tim Bobo, who "walks
five dogs five times a week, which scores me nearly $100." Tindalso notes that he
may have spread himself a little thin, as his schooling and other activities have
suffered a bit. But that just goes to show that there's plenty of work to go around!
If you're a teen who loves dogs, and you're looking to make a little extra money,

hi

Answers

Answer:

If you're a teen who loves dogs, and you're looking to make a little extra money,  dog walking is certainly worth a look.

CLASS 10 ENGLISH CHAPTER 1 LETTER TO GOD​

Answers

Source of the Question:Name of the book - The first flight (10)Publication - NCERT Chapter - A letter to God.

[tex] \Large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \color{red}{Answer \: to \: the \: Q.}}}}[/tex]

Lencho was a poor farmer. He was very hard-working.Once his harvest was destroyed completely because of hailstorm. He became hopeless because he did not have even a penny , so his family had to starve.Lencho was very simple person with firm faith in God. He hoped that God would help him and make sure that he and his family would not starve. He went to the office and a wrote an appealing letter with confidence to God for help.He described each and every aspect of destruction and reason for seeking His help. He pasted a stamp and mailed through post office addressing to “The God”.In the opinion of Lencho men are dishonest and deceitful. Without any hesitation he wrote a letter again to God after receiving 70 pesos donation from post office employees and remarked them as the bunch of crooks.As he believed that God helps innocent people in distress so he approached the God directly.Even he was not surprised to receive 70 pesos but became very angry that God would not make any mistake to send him 100 pesos so he wrote again for the rest amount.He requested God not to send the money through post as the people in post office were bunch of crooks.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Answer:

Lencho was a farmer. He was not so poor and not so rich farmer. He was having a great faith in God. This we came to know from his letter addressed to God. He did so for the compensation of his crops. Actually the hail stones destroyed his crops and he thought that now his family would starve throughout the whole year. But he was very religious person, so he decided to ask the God for his help. In his letter to God he asked the God for 100 pesos. But his letter was not reached to God. It were the post office employees who sent the 70 pesos for help. And Lencho called the post office employees as “a bunch of crooks”. While they helped him. Because of this we can say that Lencho was a foolish person too (in the sense of innocence).

Read the passage from "Two Kinds." And I started to play. It was so beautiful. I was so caught up in how lovely I looked that at first I didn’t worry how I would sound. So it was a surprise to me when I hit the first wrong note and I realized something didn’t sound quite right. And then I hit another and another followed that. A chill started at the top of my head and began to trickle down. Yet I couldn’t stop playing, as though my hands were bewitched. I kept thinking my fingers would adjust themselves back, like a train switching to the right track. I played this strange jumble through two repeats, the sour notes staying with me all the way to the end. How is this passage an example of an internal conflict?

Even though she had been taking piano lessons, June was not really taking them seriously. When the time for her first presentation comes, her performance is a fiasco. We get to experience all of her internal conflict as she describes her feelings when she is struggling. June is excited at first. She does enjoy receiving attention. However, that feeling does not last long. Her lack of discipline takes its toll, and June makes several mistakes throughout the performance. She is now frightened and embarrassed, but unable to stop playing. She knows the outcome that awaits her is filled with shame and judgment from the audience and, especially, from her own mother.

Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below: President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory. Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you. How does the sentence "Free nations will press on to victory" relate to the central idea of the speech? It furthers the idea that service people returning home will be called back out quite soon. It supports the main point that this is an ongoing fight that America will not abandon. It challenges the notion that Afghan people need an American presence to ensure their safety. It adds to the idea that it is essential to remove any American military presence beyond in other lands.

He encouraged them to be steadfast as they were winning the war against terrorism and that no acts of the terrorists can "weaken our resolve" or "alter their fate".

The sentence "Free nations will press on to victory" relates to the central idea of the speech by supporting the main point that this is an ongoing fight that America will not abandon.

The sentence "Free nations will go ahead to triumph" relates to the central idea of the discourse by supporting the main point that this is a continuous battle that America won't abandon. It upholds the main point that this is a continuous battle that America won't abandon.

What was the purpose of  President George W. Bush’s speech.

From the discourse of President George Bush to the American soldiers on the USS Abraham Lincoln, he made obviously while the American soldiers have made in-roads in the battle against psychological warfare namely Al-Qaeda and injured them, they were yet to be completely defeated.

rhetorical analysis for slapstick

Answers

Answer:

Slapstick is a type of physical comedy characterized by humour, absurd situations, and vigorous (sometimes violent) actions. The slapstick comic must often be an acrobat, a stunt performer and a magician—a master of uninhibited action and perfect timing.

Outrageous make-believe violence has always been a key attraction of slapstick comedy, and the form took its name from one of its favourite weapons, slapstick. A slapstick was originally a harmless paddle composed of two pieces of wood that slapped together to produce a resounding whack when the paddle struck someone. The slapstick first came into use in the 16th century, when Harlequin, one of the principal characters of the Italian commedia dell’arte, used it on the posteriors of his comic victims.

The rough-and-tumble of slapstick has been a part of low comedy and farce since ancient times, having been a prominent feature of Greek and Roman mime and pantomime, heavily padded clowns exchanged quips and beatings to the delight of the audience.

The Renaissance produced the athletic zanies of the commedia dell’arte and even rougher clowns, such as the hunchbacked, hook-nosed, wife-beating Pulcinella, who survived into the 20th century as the Punch of children’s puppet shows.

Slapstick reached another zenith during the late 19th century in English and American music-hall entertainment and vaudeville, and such English stars as George Formby and Gracie Fields carried its popularity well into the 20th century. Motion pictures provided even greater opportunities for visual gags, and comedians Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, and Mack Sennett’s Keystone Kops introduced such classic routines as the mad chase scene and pie throwing, often made doubly hilarious by speeding up the camera action. Their example was followed in sound films by Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, and the Three Stooges, whose stage careers predated their films and whose films were frequently revived beginning in the 1960s and were affectionately imitated by modern comedy directors. The best of the slapstick comedians may be said to have turned low humour into high art.

The Three Stooges, American comedy team noted for violent anarchic slapstick and comedy routines rooted in the burlesque tradition. Six men were members of the team throughout the years: Shemp Howard (original name Samuel Horwitz; b. March 17, 1895, New York, New York, U.S.—d. November 23, 1955, Los Angeles, California), Moe Howard (original name Moses Horwitz; b. June 19, 1897, New York City—d. May 4, 1975, Los Angeles), Larry Fine (original name Louis Feinberg; b. October 5, 1902, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—d. January 24, 1975, Woodland Hills, California), Curly Howard (original name Jerome Horwitz; b. October 22, 1903, New York City—d. January 18, 1952, San Gabriel, California), Joe Besser (b. August 12, 1907, St. Louis, Missouri—d. March 1, 1988, North Hollywood, California), Joe DeRita (original name Joseph Wardell; b. July 12, 1909, Philadelphia—d. July 3, 1993, Woodland Hills).

The Stooges’ comic style was brash and brazen and was characterized by such cartoonishly violent acts as slapping, punching, eye-poking, and hair-pulling, all punctuated by exaggerated sound effects, and they often attacked one another with hammers, saws, and a variety of sharp and blunt objects.
