I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud Launch Audio in a New Window
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Chapter 17: At the end of the chapter, what evidence was shown in court? How does this help Atticus' case?(PLEASE ANSWER MEE!!)

Answers

Answer:

The prosecutor, Mr. Gilmer, questions Heck Tate, who recounts how, on the night of November 21, Bob Ewell urged him to go to the Ewell house and told him that his daughter Mayella had been raped. When Tate got there, he found Mayella bruised and beaten, and she told him that Tom Robinson had raped her. Atticus cross-examines the witness, who admits that no doctor was summoned, and tells Atticus that Mayella’s bruises were concentrated on the right side of her face. Tate leaves the stand, and Bob Ewell is called.

Bob Ewell and his children live behind the town garbage dump in a tin-roofed cabin with a yard full of trash. No one is sure how many children Ewell has, and the only orderly corner of the yard is planted with well-tended geraniums rumored to belong to Mayella. An extremely rude little man, Ewell testifies that on the evening in question he was coming out of the woods with a load of kindling when he heard his daughter yelling. When he reached the house, he looked in the window and saw Tom Robinson raping her. Robinson fled, and Ewell went into the house, saw that his daughter was all right, and ran for the sheriff. Atticus’s cross-examination is brief: he asks Mr. Ewell why no doctor was called (it was too expensive and there was no need), and then has the witness write his name. Bob Ewell, the jury sees, is left-handed—and a left-handed man would be more likely to leave bruises on the right side of a girl’s face.

Atticus is trying to prove that Tom Robinson did not beat Mayella. Mayella and Bob are claiming that Tom Robinson beat and raped Mayella. She says that she had bruising on the right side of her face, meaning her attacker would have to be left-handed. Atticus asks Bob to write his name.

people, some of them have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one
know's where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my
children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead

Answers

Answer:

This question is incomplete since you did not provide all the information. But I will write you a story with that phrase stated.

Explanation:

It was Sunday afternoon. I was  washing my clothes near wang chhu river, when suddenly I hear a screech.

At first I was scared because I didn't know what it was or where it came from, and since it was Sunday there were almost no people around me.

Suddenly when I look around I can see a little puppy crying, held on one of the rocks of the river. The poor thing had accidentally fallen and could not get out.

I immediately jumped into the river and went swimming towards it to get it out.

Once we both got out, the dog was very happy and he didn't want to get away from me.

Since that day I adopted him and now he is part of my family.

A story is a narrative or exposition of events, whether real or fictional.

Your story can be about any topic you choose, as long as it has the necessary characters, a setting, and a good plot and structure.

Martin is assigned an argumentative essay. The prompt says, "Write an argumentative essay that takes a position on whether students should have to pass a test to graduate from high school." Martin develops this claim: "If students have passed all their classes and tests in those classes, it is not fair to make them also pass a test to graduate from high school." Which answer choice best describes Martin’s claim? Martin’s claim does not take a position. Martin’s claim is based more on emotion than reasoning. Martin’s claim does not respond to the prompt. Martin’s claim is good because it appropriately responds to the prompt.

Answers

Answer: Martin’s claim is good because it appropriately responds to the prompt
