Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long To speak of that which gives thee all thy might? Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song, Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light? Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem In gentle numbers time so idly spent; Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem And gives thy pen both skill and argument. Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey, If Time have any wrinkle graven there; If any, be a satire to decay, And make Time's spoils despised every where. Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life; So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife. —“Sonnet 100,” William Shakespeare What is the primary purpose of the couplet in this sonnet?

Answers
Answer:
To remember information
To ask important questions
To organize their thoughts
To summarize main points
Explanation:
"To practice perfect grammar" is incorrect. Notes are often phrases that are sentence fragments and may have incorrect grammar.
Notes should not be a word for word record of what was said. They should be a summary with important points.
To publish for other students is probably incorrect because the other four options I picked are definitely correct.
explanation: these 4 are key with taking notes. firstly, it’s important to remember the info. this will help you later on when explaining the story or trying to wrap your mind on the details of the story. secondly, asking important questions about the text is also a big factor while taking notes. the notes you take are sometimes questions and asking questions throughout the story will help the reader understand the text more clearly. also organizing your thoughts will help you be on track with what you’re reading. lastly summarizing the main points of the story in your notes will be very efficient with organization and getting a better understanding of the story.

I'm always happy to help :)In "Two Kinds," how do June's feelings about her mother change from the beginning to the end of the story? How do the interactions between June and her mother illustrate this change?
Answers
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
In "Two Kinds," June's feelings about her mother change from the beginning to the end of the story in the following way. June is the protagonist of the story and serves as the narrator too. We can read in the firsts pages of the story that June´s mother is so possessive and tries to control the life of her daughter, June. It seems that her mother has so high expectations for her life and her demands upset June. For instance, the mother tries to make June a great piano performer but June is not interested in becoming a musician neither has the talent to do so.
However, when her mother dies, June understands that the interaction they had was because June´s mother had a difficult life in China, and the purpose of her mother's demands was that June could have much better opportunities in the United States to make her successful.
"Two Kinds" is a story written by Amy Tan, that is included in her book of 1989 called "The Joy Luck Club."

In his poem "Cuttings (later)," Theodore Roethke writes, "I can hear, underground, that sucking and sobbing, / In my veins, in my bones I feel it,--" (lines 5-6). In a pair of poems--"Cuttings" and "Cuttings (later),"--that largely describe the behavior of plants, this moment stands out as one in which we see a comparison made between plants and the speaker of the poem. What do you think the speaker means here, saying he "feels" "that sucking and sobbing"? Explain, in light of the rest of the two poems.
Answers
Answer: The speaker means that he relates to a spiritual level with the plants, feeling identified with how chopped the plants are, and how he had to "suck and sob" to grow from the struggle.
Explanation: Roethke wrote these two poems with a sense of unity towards the life of the plants. In both of them, he implies that relating to how destroyed and wounded the plants feel for being chopped, takes him to a spiritual level where he finds some growth. In the lines; "I can hear, underground, that sucking and sobbing, / In my veins, in my bones, I feel it,--" from "Cuttings (later)", the author says that he "feels" that "sucking and sobbing", meaning that he had to suffer like plants, to grow from the pain.

"If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.
That strain again, it had a dying fall.
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour. Enough, no more,
’Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
[Music ceases]
O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, naught enters there,
Of what validity and pitch so e’er,
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute! So full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical."
(I.i.1–15)
This is kind of long, but you can take bits of it. This line said by Orsino asks the musicians to give him so much musical love-food that he will overdose (“surfeit”) and cease to desire love any longer. Through these words, Shakespeare introduces the image of love as something unwanted, something that comes upon people unexpectedly and that is not easily avoided. But this image is complicated by Orsino’s comment about the relationship between romance and imagination: “So full of shapes is fancy / That it alone is high fantastical,” he says, relating the idea of overpowering love (“fancy”) to that of imagination (that which is “fantastical”). Through this connection, the play raises the question of whether romantic love has more to do with the reality of the person who is loved or with the lover’s own imagination. For Orsino and Olivia, both of whom are willing to switch lovers at a moment’s notice, imagination often seems more powerful than reality.

The most logical revision for Karishma to make to her prediction is that the narrator gives up his plan to murder the old man. comes back another night to murder the old man. continues with his plan to murder the old man. eventually admits his presence to the old man.
Answers
Read the first passage from "The Tell-Tale Heart” that Karishma read.
I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in bed, crying out—"Who's there?"
After reading the passage, Karishma predicted that the narrator would get caught by the old man.
Now read the second passage that Karishma read.
I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did not hear him lie down. He was still sitting up in the bed listening;—just as I have done, night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall.
The most logical revision for Karishma to make to her prediction is that the narrator
A. gives up his plan to murder the old man.
B. comes back another night to murder the old man.
C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
D. eventually admits his presence to the old man.
Answer:
C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
Explanation:
According to the first excerpt, it was logical that based on the clues and events available, Kashima would assume that the narrator was going to be caught by the old man because the old man sighted him entering his room.
However, from the second excerpt which shows that although the old man woke up, the narrator did not make any noise to betray his presence, he did not leave the scene, neither did he change his mind and Kashima can conclude that the narrator will continue with his plan to murder the old man.

What is a Waste?Unwanted or useless items are considered waste. Waste is anything that is thrown away after its primary use or that is useless, broken, or ineffective. Contrarily, a by-product is a joint output with comparatively little economic worth.
Soil pollution: Hazardous chemicals can escape from waste into the soil and then into our food. Air pollution: Toxic compounds, such as the highly poisonous dioxin, are released into the atmosphere when garbage is burned at landfills. Ocean pollution: Every year, 13 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the world's oceans.
Seven wastes are noted in the lean manufacturing methodology: overproduction, inventories, motion, defects, overprocessing, waiting, and transport.
Waste is something that is thrown away after its initial purpose or that is damaged, worthless, or otherwise useless. Waste that results from daily chores like cooking, cleaning, and bathing is referred to as domestic waste.

Answer:
Coid-19 was a terrible pandemic but before I can tell you why, what even is the Coronavirus? The Coronavirus (otherwise known as Coid-19 or Coid) is an illness caused by a virus that is spread from person to person. Being infected with Coid-19 can either result in no symptoms or severe symptoms. You can be infected by someone who has Coid-19 if you are within 6 feet or an arms length away from them. SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus) was first identified in China and is believed to have switched species from Bats to Humans. Some scientists and part of the public believe that Coid started in the United States, however there's not significant evidence for this claim. Since Coid can infect people so easily, it is a very dangerous virus especially in the heavily connected world we live in today. This allowed the virus to spread quickly. The United States has had an especially hard time recovering from the pandemic while the rest of the world has already returned to a relative normal. The Coid pandemic has forced many businesses to close due to the lack of people going outside to buy things from the businesses. During the pandemic the health branch has faces many challenges to attempt to weaken the affect of the virus by helping patients and staying safe themselves. The N95 and KN95 masks are very important for Nurses and Doctors to wear as they filter every breath of air you take and every breath of air you exhale, keeping you and your patient safe. However, the supply of the N95 branch of masks was very limited at the beginning of the pandemic leaving many Hospital workers feeling unsafe during work. This is why the Coid pandemic was a terrible pandemic (as if there is any good pandemic).

Read the formal email, and then answer the question. Subject: Traffic Concern Dear Principal Miller, As you know, the main entrance to the high school is on Main Street. This road becomes jammed at the beginning of the school day. The traffic is lined up all the way to the light at Main Street and Blake Lane, and it is a very short light. The green light for traffic turning from Blake Lane to Main Street is especially short. It takes at least 20 minutes just to get through this light. As a result, students are often late getting to their first class in the morning. In addition, drivers are tempted to go through yellow or red lights since so few cars get through. I did some research and found that there have been three accidents in the last month alone. Although these have all been minor collisions, they create major delays and a safety hazard for students trying to get to school. I hope that you will look into these issues before there is a more serious accident.
