1. "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost

Frost wrote this poem based on his personal experience, at the time he lived in rural New England.

Explanation:

"Mending Wall" is a poem written by Robert Frost. Published in 1914, it is set in rural New England, where Frost himself lived at the time he wrote the poem. The poem, therefore, describes a frequent ritual in this part of the world before the World War I. It tells a story about the two neighbors who work together on building a wall between their properties. The speaker of the poem argues that the wall is unnecessary - it only separates people and prevents them from socializing. His neighbor, however, insists that the wall is necessary for good relationships. In his view, when separated, people avoid conflicts.Frost actually found inspiration for this poem next door - his own neighbor, Napoleon Guay, insisted on this spring ritual of building the stone wall. He frequently repeated the saying "Good fences make good neighbors." The poem, thus, explores the boundaries between people - physical, as this stone wall, but also relationship boundaries.

2. "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost

The poem metaphorically describes difficult financial situation in which some people, including Frost, found themselves after the war.

Explanation:

"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" (1922) is another poem written by Robert Frost. In this poem, the speaker finds himself in the woods. It is dark and snowy, but the scene is beautiful, and the speaker enjoys it, until he remembers his reality and the obligations that await him. The speaker tells us that he has "miles to go before I sleep." The narrator is obviously short of money, just like Frost was at the time he wrote the poem. In 1915, Frost returned to America. Later, during the post-war period, he was in a difficult financial situation. 1920s was a decade when everything was centered around material possessions - the world was gradually recovering from the war, and the great part of the American population could afford themselves luxurious clothes, houses and cars. Frost, however, had "miles to go" before achieving his goals.

ich statement best shows a problem in travels with charley?

one sharp difficulty presented itself. in the intervening twenty-five years my name had become reasonably well known.

this being so, my trip demanded that i leave my name and my identity at home.

i had to go alone and i had to be self-contained, a kind of casual turtle carrying his house on his back.

with all this in mind i wrote to the head office of a great corporation which manufactures trucks.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.

The arctic national wildlife refuge is home to caribou, moose, musk oxen, wolves, foxes, grizzlies, polar bears and migratory birds. leaders in the oil industry believe the refuge is the perfect site for the “environmentally sensitive exploration” of oil. environmentalists are wondering: what will become of the wildlife? president george w. bush, oil-industry leaders and others believe that americans will benefit from the oil that lies under the snow-filled surface of the refuge. in their opinion, the oil will reduce high fuel prices and decrease our need for oil from other countries. i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? americans are the largest consumers of oil. instead of drilling for oil, we should decrease our need for foreign oil simply by using less. we must all work together to cut back on the oil we use in order to preserve the wildlife of the arctic national wildlife refuge. what type of argument is used in this paragraph? i believe the cost of such drilling is too high. i agree with environmentalists who fear that drilling will disturb the migration of more than 130,000 caribou. each spring, the caribou travel 400 miles to give birth on the coastal plain. in this area of the refuge, there are fewer predators. in addition, experts say that the oil in the area adds up to less than a six-month supply. is such a small amount of oil worth the risk drilling poses to these animals? a. appeal to emotion c. appeal to logic b. bandwagon d. none of the above select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d
