Read this excerpt from “Poor Harold.”

A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.

A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.

SHE. What are you doing?

HE. (innocently) Writing.

SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?

HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .

SHE. (continues to look inquiry).

HE. (finally) A letter. . . .

SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?

HE. (defiantly) To my wife!

SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.

HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –

SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.

HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!

SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?

HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.

But, looking, I presently saw something stirring within the shadow: greyish billowy movements,
one above another, and then two luminous disks-like eyes. Then something resembling a little

wriggled in the air towards me-and then another.

Guys i ran over a child what do i do ?

what are the basic elements of socialization ? Describe briefly
​

We are all composed of trillions of infinitesimal and very complicated cells, each of
which, in a way, operates just like a city. A city has a council that governs what happens
within the boundaries of the city (the cell's council is the nucleus). The city gets the
power it needs to function from the electricity grid (in a cell, those power sources are
called mitochondria). Construction crews put up a city's buildings (ribosomes make the
proteins in a cell). Warehouses store a city's food, and factories make things to export
(cells have plastids and Golgi bodies to do those things).
How does comparing cells to cities contribute to or detract from the author's purpose?
1
The analogy raises more questions than it answers, rendering it
counterproductive and a detriment to understanding cell function.
2.
The analogy entertains and draws attention to the subject, but doesn't
further understanding of cellular functions.
3
The analogy appropriate for the general audience that the passage
was intended for because it helps visualize cellular functions.

Does the poem "War Is Kind" have a couplet or a quatrain. Does this poem have either? If so, identify which kind.

Here's the poem

Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.
Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky
And the affrighted steed ran on alone,
Do not weep.
War is kind.

Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment,
Little souls who thirst for fight,
These men were born to drill and die.
The unexplained glory flies above them,
Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom—
A field where a thousand corpses lie.

Do not weep, babe, for war is kind.
Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches,
Raged at his breast, gulped and died,
Do not weep.
War is kind.

Swift, blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.

Mother whose heart hung humble as a button
On the bright splendid shroud of your son,
Do not weep.
War is kind.
