The Human Abstract

by William Blake



Pity would be no more

If we did not make somebody poor,

And Mercy no more could be

If all were as happy as we.



And mutual fear brings Peace,

Till the selfish loves increase;

Then Cruelty knits a snare,

And spreads his baits with care.



He sits down with holy fears,

And waters the ground with tears;

Then Humility takes its root

Underneath his foot.



Soon spreads the dismal shade

Of Mystery over his head,

And the caterpillar and fly

Feed on the Mystery.



And it bears the fruit of Deceit,

Ruddy and sweet to eat,

And the raven his nest has made

In its thickest shade.



The gods of the earth and sea

Sought through nature to find this tree,

But their search was all in vain:

There grows one in the human Brain.

Explanation:

For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence—a presence absent during much of Angelou’s early life. When her marriage began to crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. The subsequent feelings of abandonment stayed with Angelou for years, but their reunion, a decade later, began a story that has never before been told. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou dramatizes her years reconciling with the mother she preferred to simply call “Lady,” revealing the profound moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between them.

Mom & Me & Mom delves into one of Maya Angelou's most rich, rewarding, and tumultuous relationships, the healing and love that evolved between the two women over the course of their lives, the love that fueled Maya Angelou's rise from immeasurable depths to impossible heights.

What does the baby symbolize in the mother?

Unfortunately, as her sleep deprivation worsens, the poet snatches the baby from her arms and hands it over to the people. In this case, the baby is Jesus Christ. Those familiar with the New Testament knew what was going to happen next: the poet gives his baby to the people, who then murder it.

Mom & Me & Mom (2013) is the seventh book in Maya Angelou's autobiography series. It was finished 11 years after her previous autobiography, A Song Flung Up to Heaven (2002), and more than thirty years after her first autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969).

In Selection 1, the author includes a claim that the wild horses have Spanish origins. Which statement best delineates the claim? Most evidence suggests that the horses are in fact a native species, supporting the argument that the horses must have actually been in North America for more than 11,000 years. The horses' Spanish orgins have been verified by DNA analysis, and this common ancestry helps support the argument that there is now a serious problem of inbreeding in the horse population. Although the horses' orgins are not actually certain, the claim supports the argument that the horses have been wild on the barrier island for a very long time and should be treated as a native species. There is no evidence to suggest that the horses are actually from Spain, which supports the argument that the horses are recent additions to the island and their range should be limited to protect endangered species.

Answers

This question is about the article "Wild Horses as Native North American Wildlife"

Answer:

Most evidence suggests that the horses are in fact a native species, supporting the argument that the horses must have actually been in North America for more than 11,000 years.

Explanation:

According to the article, wild horses of Spanish origin were taken to North America with Columbus and his entourage. They deposited these horses in Mexico, on Colombus' second voyage to the continent in 1493. The horses that were brought in at that time were E. caballus, which from where Mexico is today, began to spread across the Great Planices, intermingling in territory of the USA and giving rise to the native species we know today.

What is implied by the word loathsome as it is used in paragraph 2 of The Count of Monte Cristo?: “So many loathsome animals inhabited the prison, that their noise did not, in general, awake him”

Answers

Answer:

The world loathsome in the excerpt implies "repugnant" or "disgusting".

Thus, we can infer from the excerpt that the prison where The Count of Monte Cristo was jailed was brimming with animals that are considered to be repugnant, like cockroaches or rats, and there were so many of them, that the Count had gotten used to their noise somehow, being able to sleep among them.

Tim Kylie is one of the world's top chefs. He is best known for his signature dish, triple-dipped chip steak. This masterpiece contains over a pound of beef braised in duck fat. Another of Chef Kylie's more celebrated dishes is the flame slaughter Supreme. This dish features ham stuffed sausage links presented in a basket made of braided bacon. While carnivores around the world roar for Chef Kylie's creations, it is unlikely that Chef Kylie will dine with them. As a longtime vegan, Chef Kylie would never dream of devouring one of his own dishes. Which type of irony is used? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The type of irony found in this excerpt is: situational irony.

Explanation:

Situational irony is a literary device consisting of leading the reader to believe a certain event / ending will take place and then unexpectedly changing the outcome.

The author describes Chef Kylie's dishes in detail. Readers get to know that his most acclaimed dishes all consist of meat - lots and lots of meat. With such a description, it is ironic for the author to, all of a sudden, reveal that the chef is actually a vegetarian. Most readers probably do not see it coming at all. Who would expect a vegetarian to used so much meat in their own cooking? Why would a vegetarian cook something they do not eat themselves? Readers are thus shocked by this revelation, and that is where the situational irony lies.

Explanation:

Answer:

First of all, you need to decide what you will be fighting against. The best way to do so is to find a current political or social issue that makes you feel outraged. For example, we can talk about climate change. We can argue that climate change is a topic that requires our attention because it has long been ignored by the political elites. We also know that it is constantly getting worse and that immediate action is required.

What you hope to build needs to be positive and hopeful. For example, you might want to build a society in which everyone is educated about ecology. You might also want a political system in which sustainability is the main concern.

Finally, the language tools that you will use can be inspired by those that were successful in previous revolutions. For example, you can look at speeches from revolutionary figures such as Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King Jr.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match each sentence to the type of pronoun it contains. The owner himself was a great baker. objective pronoun The yellow car is his. intensive pronoun The coach told her to try a different strategy. possessive pronoun arrowBoth arrowBoth arrowBoth

Answers

Answer:

The owner himself was a great baker. - intensive pronoun.

The yellow car is his. - Possessive pronoun.

The coach told her to try a different strategy. - objective pronoun.

Explanation:

An intensive pronoun is a pronoun that intensifies or lays emphasis on the 'self'/ antecedent. In such pronouns, the end will always have "self" or "selves", as in ourselves, himself, themselves, etc. So, the sentence "The owner himself was a great baker" is an intensive pronoun.

Possessive pronouns are those pronouns that are used to show the possession or belonging of the object. In this type of pronoun, the pronouns will be "his", "hers", "yours", "mine" etc, showing possession. The statement "the yellow car is his" is a possessive pronoun.

An objective pronoun is a personal pronoun that is used or taken as a grammatical object in the sentence. In receiving the action of the verb, the objective pronoun becomes the object in the sentence. So, in the statement "the coach told her to try a different strategy", the pronoun "her" is an objective pronoun.

Read the excerpt from Team Moon.

The heavier the spacecraft, the harder it is to launch. And fuel is heavy. So it was critical to pinpoint the fuel needed, add a cushion, then take no more than necessary. But now, because the landing was taking far longer than planned, the fuel was almost gone. Mission Control wanted Neil to take as much time as he needed and fly the LM as near empty as possible only because they wanted him to make the landing. But if he ran out of fuel above the surface, in all likelihood the LM would crash onto the moon. So they were trying to time it to the last possible second before calling an abort—calling off the landing.

Why does the author use a problem-solution text structure in the paragraph?

to help the reader understand how the fuel system on a spacecraft works
to help the reader understand the difficult decisions faced by Mission Control
to help the reader understand the differences between the two astronauts
to help the reader understand how the country’s space program got started

Answers

Answer:

to help the reader understand the difficult decisions faced by Mission Control

Explanation:

Problem-solution text structer is often used pattern in writing when the author wants to express a problem or a dilemma but also offer a possible solution.

In this excerpt we see a difficult situation. Mission Control needs to find perfect timing for landing. Fuel is heavy and if there is too much of it left, the landing will be unsuccessful. On the other hand, if too much of the fuel is gone then the LM will crash.

This should give an insight on the importance of the decisions made by Mission Control.

Answers

Answer:

to support his claims that communist and non-communist states cannot exist in peace

Explanation:

McCarthy claimed that communism's greatest flaw was that its only religion was immorality (or Immoralism as he called it). He quoted Stalin to emphasize the fact that communism repudiates Christianity and that communist values oppose Christian values. Communists cannot live in peace with Christians and will not accept Christian democracy, and they will fight against them to impose their communist doctrine.

He also claimed that the greatest threat to America wouldn't come from actions of communists abroad, instead, it would come from traitors within the nation.
