On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. She was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy rock cod with bulging fish eyes that pleaded not to be thrown into a pain of hot oil. Tofu, which looked like stacked wedges of rubbery white sponges. A bowl soaking dried fungus back to life. A plate of squid, their backs crisscrossed with knife markings so they resembled bicycle tires.

—“Fish Cheeks,”
Amy Tan


Why does Tan use imagery that has a negative feeling associated with it?

A. to show that her mother always prepares this sort of food
B. to show that she and her mother have very different tastes
C. to show that she is disgusted by what her mother has chosen to serve

Answers

C. Because all the imagery used is describing how disgusting tofu is. She didn’t say anything about previous meals or her and her mother’s food preferences.

The bowls never wanted washing - the boys polished them with their spoons....'
Explain what Dickens is telling us in this quotation and why you think it is
effective.

Answers

Answer:

Dickens tries to say that boys were so starved that they ate everything in the bowls always, continuing to grab until they completely cleared it all.

Explanation:

Dickens uses this quote in his famous work Oliver Twits to describe how ferociously boys ate their food. He wants to explain that the boys were so hungry and excited about any food, wanting to have so much of it.

He points that out by explaining how they would clear the bowls so much, trying not to leave any food behind. The picture he paints is that boys ate everything and cleared their bowls completely, and bowls did not need to be washed. There was absolutely no food on them afterward. They would grab more and more, trying to eat all, that at the end bowl would seem to be polished.

This picture is effective because it explains perfectly how awful and hungry life was for the orphans. They did not get enough to eat, so they would desperately lick their bowls clean and try to find the last crumb of food even if there wasn’t any left.

Write an objective summary of the text. Include a summary of the main idea and key details from the text in your response. Write at least three
sentences. Answer the questions WHO? DID WHAT? WHY?

Answers

Answer:

Romanticism was an extensive artistic and intellectual movement, described by Isaiah Berlin as ‘the greatest single shift in the consciousness of the West that has occurred’[1]. Originating in late eighteenth-century Europe, it challenged the Age of Enlightenment’s scientific and rational, objective ideas, and instead promoted the power of individual imagination and subjective experience. Nature was a predominant Romantic theme in the light of the Industrial Revolution, which not only posed a threat to its preservation, but also prompted a rise in local countryside tourism to escape the expanding urban areas. Poets sought to demonstrate this through, as Carl Thompson observes, their ‘appreciation of landscape, and especially of wild or what was often termed “romantic” scenery’[2] in their work. Moreover, natural forces and iconic landmarks were also associated with the ‘sublime’, an aesthetic theory defined by Edmund Burke as ‘whatever is in any sort terrible [...] is productive of the strongest emotion which the mind is capable of feeling’[3]: fear and awe, which inspire imagination to the greatest degree. Besides this organic sense of nature, Marcel Isnard argues that ‘nature also means the principle or power that animates or even creates the objects of nature’[4], alluding to the idea of pantheism where God or a divine creative force is inherent within nature, or even the creative power of man himself. I will analyse how Percy Shelley’s ‘Ode to the West Wind’ (1820) and William Wordsworth’s ‘Tintern Abbey’[5] (1798) thus explore nature to express their admiration and desire to be at one with its power, as well as to address the social and cultural impacts of man’s creative progress.

 

In ‘Ode to the West Wind’, Shelley depicts how the wind drives seasonal change, with the persona addressing it as ‘thou breath of Autumn’s being’[6] who blows the dead leaves from the trees ‘like ghosts’ (3). This dark imagery of Autumn bringing death by Winter, is then contrasted with ‘Thine azure sister’ (9), Spring, who revives the fallen seeds, bringing new life. Moreover, the poem’s form – which combines a reworking of the Italian terza rima using four tercets and a Shakespearean sonnet couplet, following the rhyming scheme of aba bcb cdc ded ee – presents an interwoven, cyclical pattern, where the ending of one rhyme brings the next, reflecting on the theme, as Michael O’Neill observes, of ‘rebirth and regeneration’[7]. However, as Ferber notes, ‘Though the annual cycle from autumn to autumn via the renewal of spring consoles us for our losses [...] nature also destroys life on longer and larger scales’[8], and so the focus in the next stanzas is shifted to the temperamental weather and sea. Shelley’s forceful imagery in describing how ‘Black rain and fire and hail will burst’ (28) during a storm, evokes a threatening image of chaos or the end of the world; whilst ‘the Atlantic’s level powers / Cleave themselves into chasms’ (37-38), forming waves powerful enough to submerge ‘palaces and towers’ (33). These imaginative metaphors epitomise Burke’s theory of the sublime, as these destructive natural forces incite terror and awe.

 

Wordsworth presents a more passive portrayal of nature in ‘Tintern Abbey’, where the persona returns to the country after five years and feels a sense of nostalgia as he beholds ‘These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs’ (3)[9]. The flowing imagery demonstrates how they provide a ‘tranquil restoration’ (30) from ‘the din / Of towns and cities’ (25-26), making the universal experience of visiting the countryside subjective, as it corresponds to the persona’s individual thoughts. Additionally, the poet’s use of blank verse enables him to express this without the rigid poetic structure favoured by neo-classical poets; a freedom that he also wishes to impart upon his readers, inviting them, as Andrew Bennett notes, ‘to identify with [...] this experience [...] and these thoughts’[10], promoting individualism. Nicola Trott observes that ‘Wordsworth’s tourism enacts the principles of return and renewal which are embedded at the heart of his imaginative self-conception and development’[11], for he owes to nature ‘the power / Of harmony’ (47-48); a new perception that enables the persona to detect:

Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs given in the brackets. She ___ when the phone ____. (Cook, ring)

Answers

Answer:

Cooking; rang.

Explanation:

A verb is one of the parts of speech in English language. Verbs can be defined as any word that describes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. Some examples of verb are dance, sing, walk, play, run, sit, etc.

When a verb is used in its basic form, it is known as its infinitive while when it is used as an adjective or to form tenses, it is known as its participle.

Basically, the present participle of a verb ends with "ing" such as cooking, calling, singing, dancing etc., while its past participle sometimes ends with "ed" such as ringed, loved, talked, singed, etc.

In this scenario, cook should be present participle while ring is past participle.

Hence, she was cooking when the phone rang.

How was Michael Phelps diagnosed with depression and anxiety? What signs and symptoms did he experience? What lead to his diagnosis?

Answers

Answer:

1. Michael Phelps was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in the hospital. The diagnosis began in the morning when the nurse asked him to relate how he felt while pointing to eight images of emotions and Phelps reacted rashly.

2. Phelps noticed a pattern of emotions that did not seem right to him. He smoked from a bong to relieve himself, and he would recoil to himself and feel sad after the end of every Olympics. When he experienced his 'all-time low', he would be in his bedroom for 3-5 days, not eating, sleeping, or wanting to be alive.

3. The genesis of his diagnosis was when he decided to check into the hospital for in-patient treatment for mental health.

Explanation:

Michael Phelps who is a swimmer and has won 24 Olympic medals experienced bouts of anxiety that progressed to depression. According to him, the onset of this health challenge can be traced to 2004. Also, after the time he had an encounter with the law enforcement agents in 2014 about flouting driving under the influence, his condition worsened. Also he noticed that he began to lose interest in life, and this worsened after every Olympic game. Sometimes, he would lock himself at home and remain there for days without eating, and sleeping.

He eventually checked himself into the hospital for treatment and he is now better for it.
