Rose up from out the bosom of the lake,
Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful,
Holding the sword—and how I row’d across
And took it, and have worn it, like a king:
And, wheresoever I am sung or told
In aftertime, this also shall be known

A.
juvenile delinquents
B.
citizens of Colorado who do not vote
C.
parents who allow children to roam the streets
D.
adult offenders who abuse juvenile offenders in prison
E.
politicians and affluent businessmen in Colorado who control government
Answers
Answer:
I never read 'The Beast', but I'd like to say that it is most likely D. adult offenders who abuse juvenile offenders in prison.
Explanation:
"Beasts" are usually something that is cruel and harsh, which adult offenders who abuse juvenile offenders can be seen that way, and that seems much worse compared to the other options. Yet, since I assume you have read the story, I do advise you to think a bit deeper on the question if D. does not seem logical compared to the story.
Answer:
D or E
Explanation:

Answers
Answer:
1. In Stanza 7, "gun" and "boots" symbolise the author's job.
2. The rhyme scheme in Stanza 8 is ABACDCDC.
3. The author uses complete rhymes in Stanza 9. The words are "day" and "OK".
4. Stanza 10 is meant to give reassurance to the author's family. The mood of this stanza is subtle and calm.
5. Stanza 11 is a repeat of Stanzas 4 & 8. In poetry, this is called a refrain.
Explanation:
1. By following in someone's shoes, it can be inferred that the author might have followed after his father's job or legacy.
2. "down" rhymes with "town". "soul" rhymes with "go". "go" rhymes with "home". The rest do not rhyme so I just put a different alphabet.
3. Complete rhymes have the same final consonants sounds while partial rhymes don't. The ending consonants, in this case, were the "ay" sound. You can try reading it out loud to hear the rhyme :)
4. "Just remember this" shows that the author wants their parents to not worry about anything else except that he is in "a better place". "I'm in a better place" suggests that the author is reporting that he is in a better environment and "peace" and "Amazing Grace" also meant that he is reassuring his parents about himself.
5. A refrain is a line, phrase or group of lines that are repeated throughout the poem to show emphasis.
PS: Please do not copy the entire thing, you may want to change a few words but keep the meaning :) I don't want someone getting against the honor code in brainly heh :P

“Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad” by Ann Petry
Paragraph 1 -
“Along the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in Dorchester County, in Caroline County, the masters kept hearing whispers about the man named Moses, who was running off slaves. At first they did not believe in his existence. The stories about him was so fantastic, unbelievable. Yet they watched for him. They offered rewards for his capture.”
Paragraph 12-
“But there were so many of them this time. She knew moments of doubt when she was half afraid, and kept looking back over her shoulder, imagining that she heard the sound of pursuit. They would certainly be pursued. Eleven of them. Eleven thousand dollars’ worth of flesh and bone and muscle that belong to the Maryland planters. If they were caught, the eleven runaways would be whipped and sold South, but she— she will be probably be hanged.”
Paragraph 17-
“ she turned away from the house, frowning. She had promised her passengers food and rest and warmth, and instead of that, there would be hunger and cold and more walking over the frozen ground. Somehow she would have to instill courage into these eleven people, most of them strangers, would have to feed them on hope and bright dreams of freedom instead of the fried pork and corn bread and milk she had promised them.”

At first, when my teacher told me about a new thing I asked very few questions. My ideas were vague, and my vocabulary was inadequate; but as my knowledge of things grew, and I learned more and more words, my field of inquiry broadened, and I would return again and again to the same subject, eager for further information. Sometimes a new word revived an image that some earlier experience had engraved on my brain.
I remember the morning that I first asked the meaning of the word, "love." This was before I knew many words. I had found a few early violets in the garden and brought them to my teacher. She tried to kiss me: but at that time I did not like to have any one kiss me except my mother. Miss Sullivan put her arm gently round me and spelled into my hand, "I love Helen."

Answers
Hope it helps. God bless
Respectfully judgmental words best describe Sullivan's overall tone toward Faulkner.
What is Respect?Respect, sometimes known as esteem, is a kind of behavior or attitude toward someone or something that is important or is held in high regard. It expresses admiration for admirable or valued traits.
Respect implies accepting someone for who they are, even if they are different from you or have different opinions than you. Respect enhances feelings of safety, security, and well-being in your interactions. Respect is something you can learn; it doesn't have to come naturally.
The phrase "judgmental" is used negatively to characterize someone who frequently jumps to conclusions without good justification. Someone who creates numerous opinions about numerous people, typically harsh or critical ones, is described by the word judgemental. People with a judgmental nature are neither flexible nor laid back.
Therefore, Thus option (A) is correct.

PLS HELP ME I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Answers
Answer:
Claim: Children need to be frightened. We all do. It’s an emotion that was given to all of us and it should be exercised. When you don’t exercise it, you lose your sense of fear.
Counterargument: A lot of people have told me I really shouldn’t tell children scary things.
Rebuttal: Well, children can frighten themselves without your help. When they’re alone in bed they hear things and they see things. So I just help them along.
Explanation:
It is often thought that children need to be frightened. However, what this argument fails to consider is that Torrence grew up listening to scary tales from her grandfather and therefore has adapted to fear. In the text, it says that Torrence was afraid of keyholes because her grandfather told her in the dark monsters would lock her there. This shows at some point the author herself changed in the way she thought about scary tales but only because someone else scared her. Although children can frighten themselves without scary tales it is of their own volition. This means that children, either way, will never lose their sense of fear as a personal experience. Scary tales teaches one to be more cautious.

7. individual
8. external rhyme
Explanation:
1. When in his poem "Annabel Lee" Edgar Allen Poe writes "the moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the beautiful Annabel Lee", he is using the literary technique of personification.
This is so because an object that is not human is portrayed as though it was human.
2. The Latin title that the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge chose for his poem, "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" translated to English means apology for my life/lifestyle.
3. In the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth uses personification when he says the daffodil flowers are like a "company" of friends that he feels he is spending time with.
4. The Romantic artistic movement placed great value on the experience of the world as a valid, meaningful point-of-view which to record in artistic works.
5. "When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them.." is an example of the anaphora technique from Walt Whitman's poem "When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer Speak".
This is true because the anaphora technique involves the use of repetition of a particular phrase or word in a sentence in other to point the author's viewpoint.
6. In the metaphor that Edgar Allen Poe creates for his poem "A Dream Within a Dream" the shore stands for life itself and the surf hitting the shore and the grains of sand it is constantly washing away stand for time itself and the way it is constantly "washing" away the days of our lives.
7. When Samuel Taylor Coleridge says that he believes that the poet can see "phantoms of sublimity" that perhaps others don't see when he uses his imagination to look within himself, this is an example of the Romantics emphasis upon the existence and importance of the individual.

Answers
Answer:
A narrator's hearing affect's the story because it changes the way the story is viewed. If a narrator does not like something, does not care about something, or is over-enthusiastic over a certain topic, this may change the mood of the story drastically, whereas a non-biased narrator makes the story easier to understand, and questions are less likely to be asked. Narrators often announce their point of view on a situation, and do not describe it as it may be viewed by another person.
