The Ocean
By: Nathaniel Hawthorne
https://www.commonlit.org/texts/the-ocean
Thanks in advance
This is the poem down here:
The Ocean has its
silent cave,
Deep, quiet, and
alone;
Though there be
fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.
The awful spirits of the deep
hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.
Calmly the weary seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitude are blest,
For there is purity.
The earth had guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.
Answer:
Check below for the answer and explanations.
Explanation:
The speaker describes the sea as though tempestous and uncalm at the surface, is very calm and silent deep in the bottom. It is so calm that the spirits have their meetings there and even the dead are found there. "The awful spirits of the deep hold their communion there; And there are those for whom we weep, The young, the bright, the fair."
He said there is purity and blest under the sea and it provides a better resting place for the dead than the earth which is uncalm and whose graves lack peace and solitude. He said, "The earth had guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves."
The main aim of this poem is to describe the blest, solitude and peace that exist under the ocean, and its suitability for receiving the body of man after death.

Recess does not just have health benefits. It can actually create more productive students. Principal McLain said one result of allowing more recess time is that when the students return to the classroom, they quickly settle down and get to work, because they know another recess is coming. He also said that students are more successful problem solvers because they have time at recess to work out differences and learn to play together. Without more recess time, students are going to struggle to solve their problems.

which of the following statements best describes how time progresses in the chapter
Answer:
Time progresses mostly chronologically with one flashback and a return to the original time.
Explanation:
Time progresses primarily chronologically in the chapter, with one flashback and a return to the original period best describing how time progresses. Thus, option A is correct.
What is time progress?Time progress refers to the intervals of time that pass despite the time measurement being interrupted between the beginning of the time determination (measured) and the end of the corresponding reported flow segments. The variance in progress periods of succeeding sequence segments is to be used to calculate the length of the flow segments.
Flashbacks follow when someone recalls an event from the past, while flashforwards predict what will take place. Most of the time moves forward in time, with one throwback and an appearance to the beginning.
Therefore, option A is correct.

2 people invited the celebrties to lot of dinners while they were in the UAE.
The auther wrote the script for the movie in 2019.
Different film associations have been given this production many awards.
The producer chose Al ain to film the beach scene.
3 people have bought thousands of tickets to see the film.
Answer and Explanation:
The sentences we are changing are originally in the active voice. That means the subject of the sentence is the person/animal/object performing the action described by the verb. In order to change them to the passive voice, we must transform the object of the verb into the subject. We must also add the verb "be" adequately, which will help clarify that the subject now is not the one performing the action but the one receiving it.
1. Two people invited the celebrities to lot of dinners while they were in the UAE. ---> The celebrities were invited to a lot of dinners by two people while they were in the UAE.
2. The author wrote the script for the movie in 2019. ---> The script for the movie was written by the author in 2019.
3. Different film associations have given this production many awards. ---> Many awards have been given to this production by different film associations.
4. The producer chose Alain to film the beach scene. ---> Alain was chosen to film the beach scene by the producer.

THE TYGER
by William Blake1794
William Blake (1757-1827) was an English poet during the Romantic era who wrote extensively about God, nature, and the beauty of the human imagination. “The Tyger,” published alongside another poem called “The Lamb” in Blake’s poetry collection Songs of Experience, is one of the most anthologized poems in English. As you read, take notes on how the poem discusses the human condition and the question of existence.
Tyger Tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!
When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger tyger burning bright
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
Answer:
the repition is to show the idea that a universal creator is evident in "The Tyger," in which the questions the poet asks have to do with the creation of the fearsome tiger. its is reapeated to bring the poem to a close and connect the main idea
hope this helps, plz vote me the brainliest :)
Explanation:
The two repetitions can provoke questions, however, the first repetition provokes a question that must be answered in the proximal stanzas, while the last repetition, promotes a question that will not be answered, but will remain open for reflection.
We can arrive at this answer because:
William Blake questions why God created such a powerful creature, in this poem.He repeats the first stanza in the last stanza, showing little difference between them, to reinforce these questions.In the first stanza, however, Blake asks God about something that he himself can answer and answered in the other stanzas.In the last stanza, he questions something that only God can answer and that question remains unanswered, but it promotes great reflection.In this case, we can say that the repetitions are intended to highlight doubts, but the effects of these doubts are different.

Compare Huck’s conversation with Buck with the conversation about killing among Huck, Tom, and the other boys in Chapter Two.
Answer:
Huck's conversation with Buck is about killing for honor, albeit a forgotten honor, while the conversation among Huck and the other boys is about killing because that's what robbers do.
Both conversations are about killing for principle.
Explanation:
Buck told Huck about the feud between his family and the Shepherdsons and explained why he has got to kill any he comes across because of it, but he doesn't know the reason why, he just knows he must "Why, nothing-only its on account of the feud."
When Huck was with the gang of boys they talked about robbing people and killing them, because "Oh certainly. It's best. Some authorities think differently, but its considered best to kill them-except some that you bring to the cave here and keep them till they're ransomed."
The two conversations are both about killing people because they think they must kill people, without actually knowing the reason why they must do so. In the one with Buck and Huck, its killing due to the feud even though no one knows what it was about.
In the conversation with Huck and the other boys, it was killing because killing is what robbers do, there's no reason why.

What was the poet's purpose in writing the poem “Escape?” Please make sure you use proper grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and textual evidence in your thoughtful answer.
According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Escape" by Elinor Wylie.
The main purpose of this poem is to reflect on the beauty of the world, and the importance that this has on human life. The author tells us that when all the beautiful things of the world are gone (the "golden grapes" or the "white antelope") she will escape. This conveys her need to be around beautiful things, and to leave behind a mundane life.
She also tells us that she will escape by making herself so small, no one will be able to find her. The rest of the world will have "blind moons" as eyes. This shows that the world will not be able to chase her because people will be too preoccupied with normal society to notice the things she notices.
Finally, the author tells us that she will then live "In hollows under the mangrove root, Or where, in apple-scented rain, The silver wasp-nests hang like fruit." This shows how the author will eventually be able to live among beauty again, away from the society that destroyed it in the first place.
Select the transitional word from the sentence below. anton chekhov wrote hundreds of short stories and several hilarious one act comedies.
a. and
c. wrote
b. of

Answer:
Option A
And
Explanation:
A transitional word is a word in a sentence, that is used to join clauses or phrases that make up a sentence together. They are commonly known as conjunctions.
In this sentence, the prominent conjunction is the word "and". This is because it joins a simple sentence and a clause, to make the compound sentence in the question.
This co -joining of these two parts of the sentence, makes "and" the transition word in the sentence.
Simple sentence: Chekhov wrote hundreds of short stories
transition word: and
Clause: several hilarious one act comedies.
Compound sentence: Chekhov wrote hundreds of short stories and several hilarious one act comedies.
