I woke up to the sound of someone moaning in pain. No matter where you go, you can’t escape the plague and death. There are more rats in our town than people these days. Many of my friends and family members have already become infected. Even my mother, who always carried a bouquet of carnations to ward away the miasma in the air. And our next-door neighbor, who underwent bleeding to remove the bad substances from her body that were causing the illness. Why is God punishing us, and when will it end?

What is Markham's attitude in his poem "The Man with the Garden Tool" toward those in power?
Here's the whole poem:

The Man with the Garden Tool
WRITTEN AFTER SEEING MILLET'S WORLD-FAMOUS PAINTING

God made man in His own image;
in the image of God made He him. --Genesis.


Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his garden tool and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?

Is this the thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heavens for power;
To feel the passion of eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the suns
And pillared the blue firmament with light?
Down all the stretch of the bad place to its last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this—
More tongued with cries against the world's blind greed—
More filled with signs and portents for the soul—
More fraught with menace to the universe.

What gulfs between him and the seraphim!
Worker of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks of song,
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering ages look;
Time's tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity betrayed,
Plundered, profaned, and disinherited,
Cries protest to the Powers that made the world,
A protest that is also prophecy.

O masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give to God,
This monstrous thing distorted and soul-quenched?
How will you ever straighten up this shape;

Touch it again with immortality;
Give back the upward looking and the light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes?

O masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the future reckon with this Man?
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with kings—
With those who shaped him to the thing he is—
When this speechless Terror shall reply to God,
After the silence of the centuries?

—Edwin Markham

Answers

This makes the poem (The Man with the Garden Tool) an ekphrasis, or an example of a poem inspired by, or that describes, a piece of art. The poem can also be considered a protest poem, one that is concerned with social justice. Specifically, the poet is concerned with the treatment of the working class. A the time it as published, the poem was widely printed in newspapers and helped to start a new debate about labor and the distribution of wealth in America.

He focuses on how spiritually exhausted this man seems. He’s lost, without either hope or sorrow. The world has taken his soul from him, and Markham is determined to express his outrage. Through a series of questions, he challenges the listener to do something about this state of affairs. What are you, he asks, going to do to amen sure you can face future generations and God without shame?

Read the excerpt relating to Hester Prynne from Chapter 3 of The Scarlet Letter. She had borne, that morning, all that nature could endure; and as her temperament was not of the order that escapes from too intense suffering by a swoon, her spirit could only shelter itself beneath a stony crust of insensibility, while the faculties of animal life remained entire.

The text shows that she has great inner strength.

Explanation:

The text shows how Hester Prynne remains rational and focused even in a very disadvantageous situation for her. The text explains that even in the midst of suffering, he does not cry, does not become hysterical, does not faint and does not assume any behavior expected for a woman in the situation.

The boy tried to finish the race at any cost. What is the prepositional phrase

Answers

Answer:that he wasn’t giving up he’s gonna try hard.

Explanation:

Answer:

at any cost

Explanation:

In order to identify "prepositional phrases," you have to know what "prepositions" are at first. Prepositions are meant to show relationships of a word to another in a sentence. Examples of prepositions are: at, about, in, to, along, off, near, above, except, up, but, against, during, until, etc.

You can immediately identify a prepositional phrase because it includes a preposition. In the example sentence above, the preposition is "at." Its object is "any cost." Therefore, the prepositional phrase is "at any cost." It functions as an adverb phrase modifying the degree of finishing the race.

Read the facts about Amelia Earhart and the statement that follows.
• Constructed her own roller coaster at the age of seven
• Was one of the first women to wear "bloomers," or pants
• Was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean
• Was the first person to fly alone from Hawaii to California
• Attempted to make a dangerous flight around the world
Amelia worked at a variety of jobs, from photographer to truck driver, simply to earn enough money to take flying
lessons. She also read everything she could about flying and spent a great deal of her time at the airfields.
Which picture would be best to use on a yearbook page to illustrate Amelia Earhart's accomplishments?
a roller coaster
0
a pair of pants
O a world map
O an airplane

Answers

Answer:

D. an airplane

Explanation:

The picture that would be best to use on a yearbook page to illustrate Amelia Earhart's accomplishments is an airplane.

This is true because from the excerpt, we will discover that her career was actually centered on flying. From the excerpt, we were told that she even "worked at a variety of jobs, from photographer to truck driver, simply to earn enough money to take flying" . This clearly reveals that she was so passionate  to fly airplanes.

From the facts about her, she:

• Was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean

• Was the first person to fly alone from Hawaii to California

• Attempted to make a dangerous flight around the world.

These accomplishments are centered round flying and airplanes.

So, we see that the picture of "an airplane" is best to use in a yearbook to illustrate Amelia Earhart's accomplishments.

There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.Read this sentence from the text:The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud.
