Answer:

The lines from Levertov's "Overheard over S.E. Asia" begin with a rhythm and diction that create a notably flat atmosphere.

Explanation:

Among Levertov's many anti-Vietnam poems, these opening lines exhibit a subdued, almost emotionless mood as the imagery of white phosphorus falling like snow appears. As the poem proceeds, the tone evolves from this flat introduction into a more dynamic and intense expression.

Write an interpretive essay that analyzes literature from the perspective of a quotation. In your essay, interpret the quotation
Leya [7781]

Answer:

"IT MATTERS NOT WHAT SOMEONE IS BORN BUT WHAT THEY GROW TO BE" – J.K. ROWLING, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

This quote means a person's beginnings, whether impoverished or disadvantaged, do not dictate their future achievements or position of power. Similarly, one born with illness can still become a champion athlete, and vice versa.

Being born with advantages doesn’t guarantee an easy life; struggles affect everyone regardless of their start.

Examples include:

Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Obligation modal: Both students and teachers must engage in paper recycling.

Prohibition modal: It is not necessary for the school to keep the lights on when the classroom is unoccupied

Prohibition modals feature in sentences that denote actions that are forbidden. Terms such as cannot and must not convey these restrictions. For instance, smoking is not allowed inside this building.
