How does the figurative language in lines 1-4
develop the poem's theme?
A It compares people to land masses, and when one
clod is washed away it lessens the continent; this
develops the theme of connection between
individuals as parts of a whole.
B It compares people to islands, and when one
island loses land it only impacts the one island;
this develops the theme of people who exist
within their own worlds.
clt compares the world to the continent of Europe:
this develops the theme of European expansion
across the world, uniting different parts of it
under colonial rule.
DIt compares different peoples to land masses, and
when one clod is washed away it lessens the
continent; this develops the theme of peace and
unity among different countries.

A) It compares people to land masses, and when one clod is washed away it lessens the continent; this develops the theme of connection between individuals as parts of a whole.

Explanation: The poem makes a comparison of people with land masses. In the line "If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less" the author is implying that caring for others makes a strong bond. If a man perishes, the people around him suffer, and the world loses a part of it. The author's message is to make the reader acknowledge how important we are to one another, and never take life for granted.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.

everyman: morality play

which phrase in this excerpt from the play everyman refers to god's judgment of people's souls after their death?

messenger: . .

ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

which in( the end) causeth thy soul to weep,

when the body lieth in clay.

here shall you see how fellowship and jollity,

both strength, pleasure, and beauty,

will fade from thee as flower in may.

for ye shall hear, how our heavenly king

calleth everyman to a (general reckoning):

give audience, and hear what he doth say.

god: i perceive here in my majesty,

how that all the creatures be to me unkind,

living without dread in worldly prosperity:

of (ghostly sight) the people be so blind,

drowned in sin, they know me not for their god;

in worldly riches is all their mind,

they fear not( my righteousness), the sharp rod;

(my law that i shewed), when i for them die

hopefully this !
