The words "dust" and "crow" in Robert Frost's poetry connect to themes of nature, death, and mortality. Dust symbolizes the return to earth and human insignificance, while crows often signify darkness and death. These symbols reflect Frost's exploration of life's cycles and the human condition.
In Robert Frost's poetry, dust often represents mortality and the inevitable return to the earth, while crows symbolize darkness or the ominous presence of death.
For example, in one of the provided excerpts:
"The Crumb of Dust breaths two words from its breast…"
This line emphasizes the notion of insignificance and mortality. Additionally, in the excerpt discussing how a maid uses dust during a burial, this further reinforces dust as a symbol of the human lifecycle and our return to nature after death.
Similarly, crows often appear in literature as harbingers of death or doom. In the broader context of Frost's work, these elements combine to reflect themes of nature’s cycles, mortality, and the human condition.

Who is Dill's aunt in the movie?
Without a specific movie mentioned, it's challenging to identify Dill's aunt directly. However, if referencing To Kill a Mockingbird, Dill's aunt in Maycomb is Miss Rachel Haverford, who plays a pivotal role in Dill's summer visits and interactions.
Explanation:The question appears to be seeking information on a character named Dill's aunt in a movie. Without a specific movie title provided, it's challenging to provide a precise answer. However, considering popular literature adapted into movies featuring a character named Dill, one could infer the text might be referring to To Kill a Mockingbird, a novel by Harper Lee which was also adapted into a movie. In this narrative, Dill is a friend of the main characters, Scout and Jem Finch. While the novel and the movie do not extensively focus on Dill's family, Dill mentions staying with his aunt, Miss Rachel Haverford, in Maycomb.
Miss Rachel serves as Dill's guardian during his summer visits to Maycomb, making her an indirect, yet significant, character given her role in enabling Dill's interaction with the Finch children, which drives various events in the story.

Question: The main focus of the essay is the author's journey to becoming literate. Who else goes through a similar "journey," and what are the results? Provide at least three examples from the text to support your response. Your response should be at least 100 words.
Answer:
Thousands of people today are struggling with reading because of their childhoods and where they live. A similar person that dealt with illiteracy was Amelia Sandoval. As a child her parents never valued education and she dropped out of school in fifth grade. Her childhood was a disaster and she wound up in jail. After getting straightened up, she realized how different of a life she should've lived and what she should change. As soon as she got out of jail Sandoval got an education, and knew that it was the first step to improve herself. Amelia isn't the only one struggling with illiteracy, and not everyone has access to knowledge. "I had no regular teacher"(Douglass 1). Just like Amelia, Frederick didn't go to school, he couldn't just get an education like we can today.

Read the excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey.
his chores being all dispatched, he caught another brace of men to make his breakfast, and whisked away his great door slab to let his sheep go through—but he, behind, reset the stone as one would cap a quiver.
Which statement best explains the simile in this excerpt?
A-The Cyclops’ effort to catch the men is compared to a simple task, showing his strength.
B-The Cyclops’ effort to catch the men is compared to a simple task, showing his bravery.
C-The Cyclops’ effort to move the stone is compared to a simple task, showing his strength.
D-The Cyclops’ effort to move the stone is compared to a simple task, showing his bravery.
Answer: C-The Cyclops’ effort to move the stone is compared to a simple task, showing his strength.
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things directly by using connecting words (such as like, as, so, etc.). In this sentence, the sentence "as one would cap a quiver" is comparing how easy it would be for a person to cap a quiver with how easy it was for the Cyclops to move the stone. It is a way to express his enormous strength without mentioning it explicitly.

Which does NOT represent a central conflict as reflected in the excerpted text above?
passion vs. restraint
individual vs. society
patience vs. eagerness
independence vs. autonomy
Answer: D) Independence vs. autonomy.
Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt we can see a conflict that represents passion vs. restraint (because the speaker doubts whether or not ask a question about something she wanted to know), individual vs. society (because she thinks that is impolite to ask too many questions), and patience vs. eagerness (because she thinks she would know the answer in time). The option that does not represent a central conflict in the excerpt is independence vs. autonomy.

When nick told gatsby that "you can't repeat the past," gatsby replied, "why of course you can!" do you agree with nick or gatsby? why?
Final answer:
Nick and Gatsby's exchange in The Great Gatsby symbolizes the central conflict between the impossibility of reversing the past and Gatsby's obstinate belief in the possibility to do so; a reflection of his character and the novel's thematic elements.
Explanation:
The dialogue between Nick and Gatsby regarding the past in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a central theme of the novel. Nick asserts that one cannot repeat the past, a conventional perspective that acknowledges time's linearity and the impossibility of reversing past events. Gatsby's reply, "Why of course you can!" underscores his relentless and perhaps delusional pursuit of recreating a former moment of happiness, specifically with Daisy. This moment is indicative of Gatsby's character and his inability to separate his past desires from the present, unlike other industrial barons of the 1920s he is unrepresentative of, as defined by Fitzgerald. His love for Daisy is also critiqued by scholars such as John F. Callahan as being as possessive as his love for his inanimate luxuries. Moreover, Gatsby's perspective may also reflect the broader dissolution with the idea of the American Dream and the complexities of wealth, love, and success that embody Fitzgerald's works.
