In this passage from a lecture Ralph Waldo Emerson gave in 1837, he focuses on the role of books in education
from The American Scholar
It is remarkable, the character of the pleasure we derive from the best books. They impress us ever with the conviction that one nature
wrote and the same reads. We read the verses of one of the great English poets, of Chaucer, of Marvell, of Dryden, with the most modern joyz-with
a pleasure, I mean, which is in great part caused by the abstraction of all time from their verses. There is some awe mixed with the joy of our
surprise, when this poet, who lived in some past world, two or three hundred years ago, says that which lies close to my own soul, that which I also
had well-nigh thought and said,
(from "The American Scholar" by Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Read this excerpt from “The Medicine Bag.” “He carefully prepared for his quest with a purifying sweat bath, and then he went alone to a high butte top to fast and pray. After three days he received his sacred dream—in which he found, after long searching, the white man’s iron. He did not understand his vision of finding something belonging to the white people, for in that time they were the enemy. When he came down from the butte to cleanse himself at the stream below, he found the remains of a campfire and the broken shell of an iron kettle. This was a sign that reinforced his dream. He took a piece of the iron for his medicine bag, which he had made of elk skin years before, to prepare for his quest. “He returned to his village, where he told his dream to the wise old men of the tribe. They gave him the name Iron Shell, but neither did they understand the meaning of the dream. The first Iron Shell kept the piece of iron with him at all times and believed it gave him protection from the evils of those unhappy days. “Then a terrible thing happened to Iron Shell. He and several other young men were taken from their homes by the soldiers and sent far away to a white man’s boarding school. He was angry and lonesome for his parents and the young girl he had wed before he was taken away. At first Iron Shell resisted the teacher’s attempts to change him, and he did not try to learn. One day it was his turn to work in the school’s blacksmith shop. As he walked into the place, he knew that his medicine had brought him there to learn and work with the white man’s iron. “Iron Shell became a blacksmith and worked at the trade when he returned to the reservation. All of his life he treasured the medicine bag.” What is symbolic about the piece of the iron that Iron Shell keeps in his medicine bag? It represents a mixing of two cultures. It explains how Iron Shell became a blacksmith. It represents a young man giving up on his traditions. It explains the history of the reservation
Answer:
I believe the answer is "It represents the mixing of two cultures"
Explanation:
When Iron Shell found the piece of iron and was confused about the meaning and wasn't sure why a white mans possession would be of importance to him. When Iron shell went to the boarding school he resented the white people and did not want to have anything to do with the place or people because white men were of his culture's enemy. He realizes that the piece of iron led him to be a black smith and work with the white man's iron. So in the end Iron Shell had mixed his culture with the white man's culture by being black smith, and the iron shell piece is what led him there.
Answer:
The answer should be, it represents the mixing of two cultures, or A

Match each sentence to the correct literary device.
She mixed the flour, while sniffing the flower.
A horse is a very stable animal.
I left the house and took an immediate left.
homonym
arrowBoth
homophone
arrowBoth
pun
arrowBoth
Answer:
"She mixed..." - homophone
"A horse..." - pun
"I left..." - homonym.
Explanation:
Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently, so flour and flower would be homophones.
Homonyms are words that are spelled the same and sound the same but have different meanings, so left as in to leave and left as in the direction are homonyms.
Puns are a method of using words with associated meanings to make jokes that usually involve wordplay. A horse being a stable animal is a pun because horses are kept in stables.
Answer:
She mixed the flour while sniffing the flower- Homophone
(Words with the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins or spelling are called Homophone. In this sentence, the words 'flour' and 'flower' are homophones. The pronunciation is similar but their meaning and spellings are different.)
A horse is a very stable animal. Pun
(Pun is a joke which gets arise when the meanings of the words differ but they sound similar. In this sentence, the word 'stable' is ironically connected with the animal like a horse and also the word 'stable' is the place where a horse is kept.)
Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. Homonym
(When two or more words have the same spelling but are different in their meaning, they are called Homonym. In this sentence, the words 'flies' occur two times with the same spelling but with different meanings respectively.)

BRAINLIEST IF YOU ANSWER IN 5 Min Max NEED REASONING OTHERWISE ILL REPORY YOU IK THE OWNER OF BRAINLYBased on this excerpt, which conclusion is most likely
true about black holes?
Read this excerpt from "Why Are They Called Black
Holes?"
Within a circular boundary of about fifty miles from the
black hole center, gravity is so strong that massless
light cannot escape its pull. This boundary is called the
"theoretical event horizon." Imagine observing a black
hole from galaxies away. Light can be seen around the
event horizon but not within it. The universe is filled
with dim light drifting all around, but absolutely no light
can be seen inside a circular event horizon. Therefore,
the area inside is called a "black hole."
Even though there is light inside a black hole, it is
not visible.
Even though a black hole has gravity, there is
nothing inside a black hole.
A black hole can only be observed or detected at a
short distance.
A black hole only releases light that appears black
to the eyes.
Answer:
Oh really....who is the owner
Explanation:
Answer:
"A black hole can only be observed or detected at a short distance"-Even this statement is not correct exactly but better compared to others
Explanation:
Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe. This passage is a conversation between a father named Okeke and his adult son, Nnaemeka. In the passage, Okeke speaks first.
"Whose daughter is she, anyway?”
"She is Nene Atang.”
"What!” All the mildness was gone again. "Did you say Neneataga, what does that mean?”
"Nene Atang from Calabar. She is the only girl I can marry.” This was a very rash reply and Nnaemeka expected the storm to burst. But it did not. His father merely walked away into his room. This was most unexpected and perplexed Nnaemeka. His father’s silence was infinitely more menacing than a flood of threatening speech. That night the old man did not eat.
When he sent for Nnaemeka a day later he applied all possible ways of dissuasion. But the young man’s heart was hardened, and his father eventually gave him up as lost.
"I owe it to you, my son, as a duty to show you what is right and what is wrong. Whoever put this idea into your head might as well have cut your throat. It is Satan’s work.” He waved his son away.
Which statement best describes how Nnaemeka challenges patriarchy?
Nnaemeka insists on marrying Nene even though his father immediately threatens him.
Nnaemeka respectfully asks Okeke's permission to marry Nene.
Nnaemeka says that he will marry Nene against Okeke's wishes.
Nnaemeka is so angry that he refuses to let Okeke eat.
Answer:
I think the 3rd one because it makes the most sense to me "Nnaemeka says that he will marry Nene against Okeke's wishes."

( need this done ASAP, worth 20 points!! ) Read the excerpt from Matilda by Roald Dahl. "What about something much harder, like two times four hundred and eighty-seven? Could you tell me that?" "I think so, yes," Matilda said. "Are you sure?" "Why yes, Miss Honey, I'm fairly sure." "What is it then, two times four hundred and eighty-seven?"
Which statement is best supported by the dialogue?
- Matilda is very good at multiplication, but she does not know how to divide.
- Miss Honey desperately wants Matilda to get a wrong answer.
- Miss Honey is stunned by Matilda’s ability to multiply high numbers.
- Matilda wants to impress Miss Honey with her multiplication skills.
Miss Honey is stunned by Matilda's ability to multiply high numbers.
Answer:
Miss Honey is stunned by Matilda’s ability to multiply high numbers
Explanation:
Miss Honey seems to want to know if Matilda can multiply high numbers. She says "Are you sure?" as if she doubts Matilda's ability and then asks her to prove herself. Matilda does not seem as though she's trying to impress Miss Honey since she seems rather relaxed in the dialogue. She says, "I think so, yes" and "I'm fairly sure" which shows that she believes she can do it but isn't necessarily eager for this line of questioning.
