How does Dobyns’s use of unusual structure affect the meaning of “Icarus’s Flight?”
“Icarus’s Flight” by Stephen Dobyns
What else could the boy have done? Wasn’t
flight both an escape and a great uplifting?
And so he flew. But how could he appreciate
his freedom without knowing the exact point
where freedom stopped? So he flew upward
and the sun dissolved the wax and he fell.
But at last in his anticipated plummeting
he grasped the confines of what had been
his liberty. You say he flew too far?
He flew just far enough. He flew precisely
to the point of wisdom. Would it
have been better to flatter ignorantly
from petal to petal within some garden
forever? As a result, flight for him was not
upward escape, but descent, with his wings
disintegrating around him. Should it matter
that neither shepherd nor farmer with his plow
watched him fall? He now had his answer,
laws to uphold him in his downward plunge.
Cushion enough for what he wanted.
Answer:
D. The way sentences extend from one stanza into the next pull the reader along.
Explanation:
The myth of "Icarus" and his flight to the sun bringing his fall from the sky is a story we are all familiar with. It was this story that gives us the lesson of not going beyond what is dictated or not to be too curious or greedy.
Stephen Dobyns' version/ poem of the same myth presents the same case, but the only difference is that he presents the other possibility or other nature of the flight. For him, the escape doesn't merely mean an escape from the island or captivity, but it also signals the realization of what freedom is and to what extent it is available. For him, it was "a great uplifting", "fly[ing] precisely to the point of wisdom".
This unstructured and unusual pattern of poetry, the way the sentences are pulled along to the next stanza, without much punctuation makes the reader eager to keep reading. It entices and arrests the reader's interest, pulling us along until the end.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

What Responsibility Means to Me
What responsibility means to me Being responsible refers to our ability to make decisions that serve our own interests and the interests of others. We first need to be responsible for ourselves before we can be responsible for others. In learning to be more responsible it is important that we know our limitations. It does not matter how smart we are, there is only so much responsibility that one person can handle at any given time. It is also important to remember that we are not responsible for things that are out of our control, for example, how other people think and feel or how they react to ourselves or others.
Sharing responsibility for both success and failure can lead to increased responsibility to oneself and to others. I plan to be a parent some day and as such will need to depend on my partner to make good choices. Every choice we make will affect the people around us. Who my children will look up look up to will be very important in their development. I will need to teach them morality and the differences between right from wrong as well as instill in them the values of today’s society so they can be productive members of said society when they reach adulthood.
I also have responsibility my pet for they are part of our family. I am responsible for their health, well being and care. This mean I have to take care of their shots and other medical needs. Pets are a big responsibility in many ways not just their health but in their happiness as well what I give them in love I get back tenfold.
There are also responsibilities to society that are very important to me. I need to follow the rules that all people have to follow that are set by today’s society. One must be aware that there are consequences for being an irresponsible member of society. The likelihood of getting arrested is doubled when you intentionally behave reckless. Rules and responsibility are put in place to save us from the chaos that is human life.
Who had the power to accuse and convict people of witchcraft in Salem????!
Answer:
George Burroughs
George Burroughs, who had served as a minister in Salem Village from 1680 to 1683, was summoned from his new home in Maine and accused of being the witches' ringleader. He too was convicted and, along with four others, was hanged on August 19.
Every morning I lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door. The blind was pulled down to within an inch of the sash so that I could not be seen. When she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. I ran to the hall, seized my books and followed her. I kept her brown figure always in my eye and, when we came near the point at which our ways diverged, I quickened my pace and passed her. This happened morning after morning. I had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words, and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood.
Her image accompanied me even in places the most hostile to romance. On Saturday evenings when my aunt went marketing I had to go to carry some of the parcels. We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men and bargaining women, amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of pigs’ cheeks, the nasal chanting of street-singers, who sang a come-all-you about O’Donovan Rossa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land. These noises converged in a single sensation of life for me: I imagined that I bore my chalice safely through a throng of foes. Her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises which I myself did not understand. My eyes were often full of tears (I could not tell why) and at times a flood from my heart seemed to pour itself out into my bosom. I thought little of the future. I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.
One evening I went into the back drawing-room in which the priest had died. It was a dark rainy evening and there was no sound in the house. Through one of the broken panes I heard the rain impinge upon the earth, the fine incessant needles of water playing in the sodden beds. Some distant lamp or lighted window gleamed below me. I was thankful that I could see so little. All my senses seemed to desire to veil themselves and, feeling that I was about to slip from them, I pressed the palms of my hands together until they trembled, murmuring: “O love! O love!” many times.
At last she spoke to me. When she addressed the first words to me I was so confused that I did not know what to answer. She asked me was I going to Araby. I forgot whether I answered yes or no. It would be a splendid bazaar, she said she would love to go.
“And why can’t you?” I asked.
While she spoke she turned a silver bracelet round and round her wrist. She could not go, she said, because there would be a retreat that week in her convent. Her brother and two other boys were fighting for their caps and I was alone at the railings. She held one of the spikes, bowing her head towards me. The light from the lamp opposite our door caught the white curve of her neck, lit up her hair that rested there and, falling, lit up the hand upon the railing. It fell over one side of her dress and caught the white border of a petticoat, just visible as she stood at ease.
“It’s well for you,” she said.
“If I go,” I said, “I will bring you something.”
What innumerable follies laid waste my waking and sleeping thoughts after that evening! I wished to annihilate the tedious intervening days. I chafed against the work of school. At night in my bedroom and by day in the classroom her image came between me and the page I strove to read. The syllables of the word Araby were called to me through the silence in which my soul luxuriated and cast an Eastern enchantment over me. I asked for leave to go to the bazaar on Saturday night. My aunt was surprised and hoped it was not some Freemason affair. I answered few questions in class. I watched my master’s face pass from amiability to sternness; he hoped I was not beginning to idle. I could not call my wandering thoughts together. I had hardly any patience with the serious work of life which, now that it stood between me and my desire, seemed to me child’s play, ugly monotonous child’s play.

Sugar cane was now an ingredient in ceremonies involving fire. ... Though Indians used sugar in rituals, they also enjoyed eating chunks of sugar cane. The word for "a piece of sugar" in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit is khanda, which, as it passed through Persian to Arabic to Europe, became candy. Sugar had a third use in ancient India-it was considered a medicine. Today we say, "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."

I gave my life for nothing
Now all I have left
Is my misery and despair
Do not fall into the same trap,
Dear reader.
The trap of love
This is a horrible life to live
You will die lonely
Lonely and Isolated
On the inside, at least
I gave everything away
I can not live on tomorrow's bread
Freedom is a great privilege
That I do not have
Born in this country
But this life is a foregin land
Lonely and cold am I
In this cold world I breath
Words with no meaning
Words with no say
Words with no meaning
Words that will lead you astray
Listen to my plead
Listen to my speech!
Let me bring life into the grey!
Sad and lonely am I
BUT!
I put on a mask
Warm but cold
Tears are hidden
My heart will turn stone
You won’t see me cry
You’ll see me laugh and smile
But deep down…
If you look hard enough
You’ll frown
Frown as you see me die
So, I’m going to live 'till I die
I’m gonna laugh instead of cry…
Dead am I
With grey winds
And white colorless snow
Take it all away
Till I see nothing
Till I feel nothing
My pride is gone
My tears are gone
I stare at you with a blank face and a smile
I’ve run away
Away from reality
But now I’m coming back
Coming back home
Facing the truth
Turn my back to the lie
I smile and wave
So I won’t cry
The truth I’ve run away from
Chased me like a pack of wolves
Let it eat me alive!
Let it seal my alibi!
I’m lonely for life
Don’t lie to me, no more!
The truth is clear
With no friends
But two warm hands
Kendra, Sheldon, and I
My hopes of the world
To be a better, kinder place
Lies in the palms
Of these two faces
If they are gone
I will die
Don’t take away my happiness!
Please…. Let me live my life

3/17 x 17/21 in the lowest terms
Answer:
-317 x 1?
Explanation:
Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]\frac{3}{17} *\frac{17}{21}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3*17}{17*21}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{51}{357}[/tex]
357 is divisable by 51
[tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex] is the lowest term. You can also see that because there is a 17 on top and a 17 on bottom so they cancel. You're left with 3/21 which reduces to [tex]\frac{1}{7}[/tex]

Explanation:
what specific groups of people does Reagan directly address in his speech? How do the assurance he makes to them impact his message?
1. If the referred speech is the “Challenger Disaster” I could state that he pursued two purposes:
• Uplift a shocked nation
• Acknowledge Challenger crew as heroes, who sacrificed themselves doing their jobg
2. Both objectives were achieved by the use of persuasive statement in his speach, by appealing people´s emotions. In this order of ideas, the first purpose was to help people make sense of how they felt with the tragedy.
The following excerpt will help illustrate the above: For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss, and we’re thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, “Give me a challenge, and I’ll meet it with joy.” They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us.
This shows how he drew interest and demonstrated the reasons to support the families, by the use of key expressions such as “daring,” “brave,” and "special grace".
The second purpose, was not an easy task, since Reagan brought to present the fact that they were doing their job, as part of the advancements of the space program. Take a look at the fragment: We’ve grown used to wonders in this century. It’s hard to dazzle us. But for twenty-five years the United States space program has been doing just that. We’ve grown used to the idea of space, and, perhaps we forget that we’ve only just begun. We’re still pioneers. They, the members of the Challenger crew, were pioneers.
By saying this, crew members were placed in history as trascendent.
President Reagan, in his speech about the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, mentioned the three groups crew, families, and school children.
What was the Challenger explosion?Challenger was a space shuttle that exploded after it took off in 1986. The seven crew members died in the explosion and this tragedy was addressed by President Reagan.
He addressed the crew members, their families, and the school children in his speech. He made the speech to comfort the mourning nation. He addressed the crews as heroes and wanted to uplift the shocked nation.
Therefore, the persuasive speech impacted the emotional appeal.

Answer:
Genius and insanity are often viewed as opposing concepts. In reality, those who are geniuses are also insane. Therefore, geniuses get the best of both worlds. Moreover, insanity has negative connotations whereas, genius is the leading scientist and actually making a contribution to their microcosm of the world. This supports my claim, that geniuses are insane because they live in their own bubble and have magnificent ideas in their heads. They thrive on complexity and not monotony.
