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.

Flura [2571]

Answer:

Goines's narrative essay holds significance for contemporary readers due to its anti-war (pacifist) theme, which, although rooted in the Vietnam era, conveys a timeless humanitarian message.

Explanation:

While it's true that today's young audience may not find the specifics of the Vietnam war particularly captivating, they can certainly connect with themes of civil disobedience and social injustices, along with Goines's use of humor and irony to depict his pushback against political authority. For instance, Goines's clever description of navigating the bureaucratic maze to postpone his draft could resonate with today's youth who identify as rebels. In the current context void of drafts, younger individuals might struggle to grasp the political complexities of the 1960s and 1970s. However, the need to resist wars, especially when the burden of such decisions impacts the youth, remains significant. This chapter is pertinent because it allows younger generations to reflect on and possibly redefine what patriotism means: is true patriotism exemplified by serving in a war or by opposing misguided national policies?

Based on the mood of the excerpt as well as its shared root with the word phantom, what does fantods mean?
Lady bird [2775]
If this is the excerpt that is missing:
"Eventually, I caught sight of a fire through the trees, and I approached it with caution. Soon, I was close enough to see a man lying on the ground, which made me feel uneasy. He had a blanket wrapped around his head and was very close to the flames." - <span>from chapter 8 of the adventures of huckleberry finn
</span>
The term fantods refers to DISTRESS. 

His distress arises from witnessing a man with his head covered by a blanket who is dangerously close to the fire.

if you were king acrisius would you do the same thing just to escape from his dreadful faith. why or why not?​
Leya [2820]

In my view, I would not take the same actions as King Acrisius did.

Explanation:

From the narrative, it is clear that Apollo's prophecy was unavoidable. It could only be avoided if Danae were killed before giving birth. Acrisius could not murder his daughter due to his fear of divine retribution. He tried his best to keep both Danae and her son, Perseus, away from him. Ultimately, he met his end at the hands of Perseus, just as the oracle had foretold.

Thus, if I were in Acrisius's position, I would have chosen a different course rather than trying to escape his grim destiny. I would have kept Danae and Perseus close, providing them with love and care as a father and grandfather for as long as I could.
