Identify the level and nature of the diction: formal or colloquial; abstract or concrete. Also specify is a passage is written in a neoclassical poetic diction. Note that some passages may exemplify more than one kind of diction.
This question is related to “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor.
Answer and Explanation:
Diction is the term that refers to the choice and structuring of words in a text, with the objective of changing a language according to the objective intended by the author. In "A good man is hard to find", we can see that the author decided to use informal words, slang, colloquial expressions and a simpler and more direct language. Thus, we can conclude that the author used a colloquial diction.
This diction allows the author to create a more intimate and comfortable connection with the reader, since the text is less pretentious and more accessible to anyone who wishes to enter this language.
The text has no neoclassical poetic diction.
Write a story using the Prompt below. It needs 200 to 250 words. The prompt needs to be in the story and you can place it anywhere. You need to underline the prompt or points will be taken off.
Prompt: "She looked beautiful, it was her wedding day. Everything was ready for a wonderful occasion, only one thing, where was the groom? All of a sudden there was a bang at the door..."
(Only answer it if you know the answer or else your getting reported)
Answer and Explanation:
She looked beautiful, it was her wedding day. Everything was ready for a wonderful occasion, only one thing, where was the groom? All of a sudden there was a bang at the door... She startled, inhaling sharply, thoughts racing through her mind. It was probably her mother, maybe her sister, coming to let her know he had changed his mind and fled. Her imagination ran wild, picturing him at an airport, buying a last-minute ticket to God knows where, leaving her behind to face, all alone, the shame of having been left on her wedding day.
She finally opened the door, hands and legs shaking. It was indeed her mother, but there was something soothing about the expression on her face. He was running late, but he was on his way. Something had happened, a problem with the car, perhaps a flat tire. She inhaled again, deeply and steadily this time. She couldn’t help but laugh at her own desperation, at how quickly she had jumped to conclusions. Was this not the man she loved? The one she had chosen to spend the rest of her life with? Didn’t he deserve more trust than this? Her mother smiled gently. It was normal to be this nervous; and nervous people think in absurd ways. She laughed again.
The time finally came for her to walk down that beautifully ornamented aisle. She was still too nervous to look directly at anyone, but too happy to not sense their smiles, their eyes walking with her, slowly, toward him. Her groom reached out to hold her trembling hands, his own as shaky as hers, and kissed her sweetly on the left cheek. A brand new life was ahead of them. It would be a life of companionship, of growing old together, of caring more about the other than about the self.
Note: I got a bit carried away, so there are around 300 words. Feel free to remove anything you find unnecessary.

Pls Help!! Just Need the last 2 questions answered. Will mark Brainliest!!
Answer:
I think that the author of Auld Lang Syne is saying that they and another person have been on similar paths and have had conflict between them throughout their lives.
It implies that people travelling the same path might not always be the same or get along.
Explanation:
That's my interpretation of the lyrics I could be wrong.
Answer:
All i see is a Black screen shot that u took i don't see the questions
Explanation:
The phrase ‘Auld Lang Syne’ itself means ‘old long ago’,which can be translated as ‘‘days gone by’ or ‘back in the day’. Thomas Keith, a Burns scholar, says the song symbolises reunion – not parting, as some mistakenly believe. The song looks back over happy days from the past, separation, then coming back together. Keith says everybody seems to immediately grasp the family and friendship feeling the song describes. ‘It is something to do with that melody as well as the Burns lyrics, because the lyrics are sometimes known and sometimes not.’
Write a compare-and-contrast analysis of how Greg Ridley from "The Treasure of Lemon Brown" changes from the beginning of the story to the end.
PLEASE HELP I NEED A 150 WORD COUNT OR HIGHER ASAP. THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAY
Answer:
The Treasure of Lemon Brown the explanation to the question is In the beginning, Greg was just a normal boy not being able to perform well at school and fearing the lecture by his father wanting to know why he couldn't play basket ball. When he was locked by his father in the room after getting a complaint from his school due to his low grades and effort in math class.

The story of Mr. lemon moved Greg and made him realize the importance of his father and the love of family he decided He go back home and the idea of getting lectured by the father actually makes him happy and or excited to see his father again, knowing he just wants the best for his son.
Explanation:
Answer:
In the beginning of the short story “The Treasure of Lemon Brown,” Greg Ridley was just a normal boy who wasn’t performing well at school, and feared being lectured by his father.
Greg didn’t want to face another lecture from his father about his grades, so he instead took a stroll outside, away from his apartment. Along the way, he found an old abandoned tenement and met a homeless person in rags named Lemon Brown. After Greg and Lemon get acquainted, they get attacked by thugs who want to steal Lemon’s treasure. After this major event, Lemon tells Greg about the story of his treasure and his son. He talks about how he used to sing the blues to feed his family. Then one day his wife died and his son went to go live with his wife's sister. He then says that his son went to war and then died holding a mouth fiddle. The fact that it meant something to his son made it Lemon’s treasure.
The thugs and the story of Lemon Brown moved Greg Ridley and made him realize the importance of his father and the love of family. While Greg walked back home, the idea of getting lectured by his father made him smile now.

Answer:
O B. Ulysses does not support laws that treat people unfairly.
Explanation:
Hello. You did not show the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to create an exact answer.
However, according to what we know about Ulysses, we can agree that option B is the correct option. That's because Ulysses was not looking forward to adventures, he wanted to settle down and enjoy family life. He also did not believe that his subjects thought he was a lazy one, as he was a very admired king. Ulysses was also not unhappy in the marriage, on the contrary, marriage was one of the great reasons for him not wanting to leave for another adventure.

Write a article in this topic :a good meal what makes a good meal ? Is it the people ,the place , the food-or all of these things how important is to eat out and try diffriet kinds of food from diffrent places
Answer:
Eating a variety of foods from the five major food groups provides a range of different nutrients to the body, promotes good health and can help reduce the risk of disease – as well as keeping your diet interesting with different flavours and textures! The venue in which food is eaten can affect food choice, particularly in terms of what foods are on offer. The availability of healthy food at home and 'away from home' increases the consumption of such foods. However, access to healthy food options is limited in many school/work enivorments.
2. Identify Patterns What is the metaphor that Thoreau uses to describe civilized life in lines 49-54? Where else is a similar metaphor used in the text?
Answer:
The metaphor he uses is "this chopping of civilized life", in which he means that you are forced along whatever current is controlling you and you have no control. A similar metaphor is located in lines 199-209, which are "the surface of the Earth" and "the path which the mind follows". Just like the first one talks about how you are controlled by an established current, these show that the human mind is easily influenced similar to how the Earth's ground is easily shaped and marked by the steps taken by otehrs. These state issues of non-individuality and how we don't develop our own ideas.

Explanation:
And this excerpt, Queen Elizabeth says " for the weak, good and safety whereof, I will never shun to spend my life in order
Answer:
Persuade her audience that she will never make personal decisions that will harm England.
Explanation:
Queen Elizabeth's speech from her "Response to Parliament’s Request That She Marry" was given from the occasion that arose where the parliament expected her to marry so that a legitimate heir to the throne may come. The Queen's response was her way of assuring them that the throne's future need not rely merely on the availability of a legitimate heir from her own.
In the given excerpt, Queen Elizabeth assures that the "realm shall not remain destitute of any heir". She also stated that "the weal, good, and safety whereof, I will never shun to spend my life; and whomsoever it shall be my chance to light upon, I trust he shall be such, as shall be as careful for the realm as you". This was done in an attempt to persuade her audience that she will not take any personal decisions that will come on the way of England.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
What's in a Name? Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for th poprerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus Include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonant and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s.
Read this line from the main text: Furthermore, mucus is not just the nasty gunk you see when you are sick.
Which line from the "What's in a Name?" article makes a similar claim? (1 point)
a. Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function
B. Other words for this powerfully important human health tool include slime and phlegm.
C.. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels.
