Imagine you have to write a blurb for a poetry book containing nature poems that include Kipling's The Way Through the Woods. Keeping the summary in mind, write a blurb in 100–150 words.
Answers
Answer:
THEY shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again,
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted the trees.
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.
Yet, if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late,
When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools
Where the otter whistles his mate,
(They fear not men in the woods,
Because they see so few.)
You will hear the beat of a horse's feet,
And the swish of a skirt in the dew,
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes,
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods.
But there is no road through the woods.

Journal Entry: Finding a Recipe Online
Today I was feeling adventurous and decided to try a new dish for dinner. I searched online for some recipes and found one that looked delicious and easy to make. It was called **chicken and mushroom pie** and it had a lot of positive reviews.
I followed the instructions carefully and gathered all the ingredients. I had to chop some onions, garlic, mushrooms and chicken, and cook them in a skillet with some butter, flour, chicken stock, cream and herbs. Then I transferred the mixture to a pie dish and covered it with some puff pastry. I brushed some egg on top and baked it in the oven for about 25 minutes.
The result was amazing! The pie was golden and flaky on the outside, and creamy and savory on the inside. The chicken was tender and the mushrooms added a nice texture and flavor. It was very filling and satisfying, and I enjoyed every bite. I felt proud of myself for trying something new and succeeding.
I think I will make this dish again in the future, maybe with some variations. I wonder what other recipes I can find online that are easy and tasty. Maybe I will search for some desserts next time. I love exploring new cuisines and learning new skills in the kitchen.

I would appreciate it if someone would help me plsss :)
Answers
Answer:i hope this answer could be useful
Explanation:The author of the diary. Anne was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, and was four years old when her father moved to Holland to find a better place for the family to live. She is very intelligent and perceptive, and she wants to become a writer. Anne grows from an innocent, tempestuous, precocious, and somewhat petty teenage girl to an empathetic and sensitive thinker at age fifteen. Anne dies of typhus in the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen in late February or early March of 1945.
Read an in-depth analysis of Anne Frank.
Margot Frank
Anne’s older sister. Margot was born in Frankfurt in 1926. She receives little attention in Anne’s diary, and Anne does not provide a real sense of Margot’s character. Anne thinks that Margot is pretty, smart, emotional, and everyone’s favorite. However, Anne and Margot do not form a close bond, and Margot mainly appears in the diary when she is the cause of jealousy or anger. She dies of typhus in the concentration camp a few days before Anne does.

If you are interested in becoming a news reporter, start thinking about what kind of stories you want to write. News stories are usually divided into two types: hard news and soft news.
Hard news stories are usually about important events that are being reported on as they happen. Stories about things like politics, war, and crime fall into this group. They take a factual approach: What happened? When? Who was involved? Hard news is also called “general news” sometimes.
Soft news stories entertain the reader. They give background information and often tell a story. These stories are considered “human interest” because they talk about people in a personal or emotional way. They include information about their problems or concerns in a way that makes people sympathize.

*Why are the other answers most likely incorrect?
•Manufacturing of hybrid cars was stated in the claim but it is not the main point of the claim. Biking and walking was also stated in the claim as well.

In many pleasant pastures
On sunny slopes and high,
5 Their skins abloom with dusty blue,
Asleep, the berries lie.
And all the lads1 of Garlingtown,
And all the lasses2 too,
Still climb the tranquil hillsides,
10 A merry, barefoot crew;
Still homeward plod with unfilled pails
And mouths of berry blue.
And all the birds of Garlingtown,
When flocking back to nest,
15 Remember well the patches
Where berries are the best;
They pick the ripest ones at dawn
And leave the lads the rest.
Upon the hills of Garlingtown
20 When berry-time was o’er,

And saw an open door,
And from the hills of Garlingtown
I went, and came no more.

Answers
Answer: In "Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress Toward" by Gwendolyn Brooks, the theme/central idea is that young people should make a change.
Explanation: There is a summary about it from a website I read and I have it pasted below.
Source: https://interestingliterature.com/2023/01/gwendolyn-brooks-speech-to-the-young-summary-analysis/
"This short lyric poem (a poem in which a speaker discusses their thoughts and feelings) comprises just two stanzas. In the first stanza, Brooks urges young people to push for change, even in the face of resistance from those people who would attempt to keep them down. In a memorable image, Brooks likens such naysayers (or ‘sun-slappers’, as she describes them) to people who are reluctant for it to be daytime and want it to remain night.
Brooks tells the young that they will be proved right if they persevere and bring about the change they wish to see in the world. It is hard, but – in an image drawn from the game of baseball – she says it will be a ‘home-run’. A home run in baseball is when a batter hits a fair ball and scores, without being put out. Brooks is telling the young that they can achieve what they set out to do and emerge triumphant, like a better scoring a home run.
In the poem’s second, shorter stanza, Brooks tells the young not to rest on their laurels, or the laurels of those generations who have gone before. In other words, don’t think that society has reached a point where all battles worth fighting have already been won and there is no more progress to be made.
Instead of living with only the end-goal in focus, they should enjoy the process of bringing about change: the struggle, the fight, the friendships forged along the way, the gradual shift towards a better world. She likens this, memorably, to living ‘in the along’: that is, living from one day to the next, and living in the moment and for the moment."
Hope this helps you
Answer:
The theme of the poem "Say to them" by Gwendolyn Brooks is that it is important to keep going, even when things are tough. The poet uses a variety of literary devices to convey this theme, including:
Imagery: The poet uses vivid imagery to paint a picture of the challenges that life can present. For example, she refers to the "down-keepers" who try to keep people down, the "sun-slappers" who try to discourage people from pursuing their dreams, and the "self-soilers" who give up on themselves.
Repetition: The poet repeats the phrase "even if you are not ready for day, it cannot always be night" to emphasize the importance of perseverance.
Rhetorical questions: The poet asks a series of rhetorical questions to challenge the reader's thinking. For example, she asks "Live not for battles won. Live not for the-end-of-the-song. Live in the along." This question encourages the reader to think about the importance of living in the present moment and not just focusing on the future.
The poet's message is that it is important to keep going, even when things are tough. No matter how many challenges we face, we must never give up on our dreams. We must keep moving forward, even when we are not ready for the next step. We must keep living, even when it is difficult.
The poem is a powerful reminder that we are all capable of great things. We can overcome any obstacle if we set our minds to it. We must never give up on ourselves or our dreams.

4 short well-written paragraphs about recycling and how it helps the community?
Answers
Answer:
Recycling is an important practice that helps to protect the environment and the health of the community. Recycling helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and conserves natural resources. When we recycle, we conserve natural resources and reduce the energy required to manufacture new products. By recycling, we can help to preserve our planet's natural resources and protect the health of the community.
Recycling also helps to create jobs and boost the local economy. Recycling facilities and businesses provide employment opportunities for many individuals, including those with limited education and job experience. Recycling also reduces the cost of waste disposal, which can result in lower taxes and fees for the community. By supporting recycling efforts, we can help to create a sustainable local economy that benefits everyone.
Recycling also promotes environmental education and awareness. When we recycle, we learn about the importance of environmental stewardship and the impact of our actions on the planet. Recycling programs also offer opportunities for schools and communities to engage in environmental education, which can lead to increased awareness and positive behavior changes. By promoting environmental education and awareness, we can create a more sustainable and responsible community.
Finally, recycling helps to reduce pollution and protect public health. Landfills are a significant source of air and water pollution, and can pose health risks to nearby communities. When we recycle, we reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfills, which helps to reduce pollution and protect public health. By recycling, we can help to create a healthier and more sustainable community for everyone.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

1. Travelers who want to go to the ultimate extreme could board a ship bound for Antarctica. A two-day sail from the southern tip of Argentina ends at one of the most bizarre islands an adventurous traveler could imagine. It’s called Deception Island because within the C-shaped island hides one of the safest harbors in the world.
2. Other surprises await tourists of Deception Island. Its harbor is actually a caldera, or mouth, of an active volcano submerged under the water. Steam from beneath the shore’s volcanic sand warms the freezing water around the harbor’s edges.The last thing most visitors to an Antarctic island expect is to be in danger of getting scalded, but the risk is real. In 1920–1921, the water there boiled, stripping paint from ships’ hulls. So, bathers must choose their spots carefully, seeking out the perfect location between boiling hot and ice cold.
How does the writer connect ideas in paragraph 2 to ideas in paragraph 1? Choose the two answers that apply.
(A) The writer makes a transition: “Other surprises await tourists of Deception Island.”
