Write a paragraph of at least 5 sentences in which you identify at least 3 examples of
figurative language in the poem and explain how those examples convey meaning in the
poem. (20 points)
Poised between going on and back, pulled
Both ways taut like a tightrope-walker,
Fingertips pointing the opposites,
Now bouncing tiptoe like a dropped ball
Or a kid skipping rope, come on, come on,
Running a scattering of steps sidewise,
How he teeters, skitters, tingles, teases,
Taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird,
He's only flirting, crowd him, crowd him,
Delicate, delicate, delicate, delicate - now!

Answer 1

The above poem refers to a basketball player who, during the game, is reflecting on whether or not to steal a base. The tension of the game and the reflection makes the player tense, anxious and apprehensive. These sensations, as well as the scenario in which the poem is established, are made with the use of figurative language that is established with the use of similes, where the poet compares the player's situation with other elements. The use of figurative language through similes can be seen in the lines:

"Both ways taut like a tightrope-walker, "

"Now bouncing tiptoe like a dropped ball "

"Taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird, "

Figurative language aims to use words that have one meaning, to express another meaning. This expression is made subjectively and not literally. In the lines above, figurative language is used to show how tense, agile and attentive the player was.

आज हमारे देश भारत की राजधानी दिल्ली के किस प्रमुख समस्या के विषय के आप समाचार पत्रों में पढ़ने है तथा उस समस्या का क्या कारण है एवं किस प्रकार इस समस्या का समाधान किया जा सकता है ( 500 words hindi essay please )
( answer needed asap please )

Answers

[tex] \qquad \qquad \green{ \underline{\huge \sf निबंधलेखन}}[/tex]

भारत की राजधानी दिल्ली की सबसे प्रमुख समस्या आज प्रदूषण है। हर दिन, हर घंटे समाचार पत्रों तथा न्यूज चैनलों पर दिल्ली में बढ़ते प्रदुषण की कुछ न कुछ खबरें देखने मिलती है। प्रदूषण से बढ़ती बीमारी में कैंसर तथा हृदय से संबंधित कई रोगों ने न केवल वयस्कों को बल्कि बच्चों को भी निशाना बनाया है। इस घटनाक्रम में सबसे ज्यादा वायु प्रदूषण बढ़ा है, जिसके कुछ ठोस कारण हैं। इसमें सबसे प्रमुख कारण है किसानों द्वारा जलाए जाने वाले फसल के अवशेष। यह बात सुनने में अचरज लगती है पर इसने दिल्ली की हवा का हाल बेहाल कर रखा है, बिन सर्द के कोहरे केवल दिल्ली में ही देखने मिलेंगे। इसके अलावा देश की राजधानी होने के कारण दिल्ली में औद्योगीकरण और विकास अधिक हुआ है और नौकरी के आस में अन्य प्रदेश के लोगों का दिल्ली में पलायन भी खूब हुआ है जिससे दिल्ली की आबादी भी खूब बढ़ी है। जाहिर सी बात है यदि आबादी बढ़ेगी तो यातायात और परिवहन भी बढ़ेगा। दिल्ली के सड़को पर ट्रैफिक अब कोई नया मुद्दा नहीं है। यातायात तथा परिवहन भी दिल्ली में बढ़ते प्रदूषण का मुख्य कारण है।

इस समस्या का हल भी है परंतु उसके लिए जनता तथा सरकार दोनों को एकजुट होकर आगे आना होगा अन्यथा प्रदूषण यूं ही बढ़ते रहेगा और अल्प आयु में ही बच्चे भयानक बीमारियों की चपेट में आते रहेंगे। सर्वप्रथम सरकार को किसानों द्वारा जलाए जाने वाले फसलों के अवशेषों को जलाने से रोकने का आदेश देना चाहिए तथा उन्हें अवशेषों से लहू उद्योगों को कैसे शुरू किया जा सकता है इस बात की जागरूकता अभियान चलानी चाहिए। यातायात और परिवहन पर हम रोक तो नही लगा सकते परंतु हम जनता से यह गुज़ारिश कर सकते हैं कि वे निजी वाहनों की जगह सार्वजनिक वाहनों का प्रयोग करें। यदि नई गाड़ियां खरीद रहे हैं तो इलेक्ट्रिक या सीएनजी गाड़ियां खरीदें। यह छोटे छोटे कदम नई प्रदूषित दिल्ली को फिर पुरानी साफ दिल्ली बनने में एक अहम भूमिका निभाएंगे।

आत्मनिर्भरता विषय पर लगभग 80 से 100 शब्दों में अनुच्छेद लिखिए ।​

Answers

Answer:

आत्मनिर्भरता स्वयं को सुरक्षित और संतुष्ट महसूस करने का गुण है, आंतरिक पूर्णता और स्थिरता की गहरी जड़ है। सतही स्तर पर, यह आत्मसम्मान को सुरक्षित करने के समान है - यह एक योग्य और सभ्य व्यक्ति के रूप में स्वयं का अनुमान है। लेकिन यह सुरक्षित आत्मसम्मान की तुलना में अधिक गहरा है, इसमें यह न केवल एक संज्ञानात्मक स्थिति है, बल्कि एक स्नेहपूर्ण स्थिति भी है - अर्थात यह मौलिक पूर्णता और कल्याण की भावना है।

उच्च या निम्न के संदर्भ में सोचने के बजाय - आत्मसम्मान के साथ - आत्मनिर्भरता के लिए कमजोर और मजबूत शब्दों का उपयोग करना अधिक उचित लगता है। मजबूत आत्मनिर्भरता वाले लोग अन्य लोगों की राय से बहुत चिंतित नहीं होते हैं। स्लेट्स उन्हें इतना प्रभावित नहीं करते हैं, क्योंकि उनके पास अपने स्वयं के मूल्य की गहरी जड़ें हैं।

आत्मनिर्भरता कुछ लक्षणों के साथ जुड़ी हुई है। आत्मनिर्भर लोगों के पास नियंत्रण का एक मजबूत आंतरिक स्थान होता है। अर्थात्, उनके पास अपने स्वयं के पाठ्यक्रम को निर्धारित करने की क्षमता और इच्छा है, अपने निर्णय लेने के बजाय, दूसरों द्वारा किए गए अपने जीवन के विकल्प होने की। वे अपनी स्वयं की प्रवृत्ति पर भरोसा करते हैं, और अपने तरीके से जाने के लिए तैयार होते हैं, भले ही इसका अर्थ है दूसरों की अपेक्षाओं के खिलाफ जाना, और इसलिए अधूरापन और उपहास का सामना करना पड़ता है।

oque é aquecimento global me ajudem please

Answers

Answer:

O aumento da temperatura média do sistema climático da Terra, chamado de aquecimento global, está causando mudanças nos padrões de precipitação, clima extremo, chegada de estações e muito mais. Coletivamente, o aquecimento global e seus efeitos são conhecidos como mudanças climáticas. Embora tenha havido períodos pré-históricos de aquecimento global, as mudanças observadas desde meados do século 20 foram sem precedentes em taxa e escala. As superfícies da terra estão aquecendo mais rápido do que as superfícies do oceano, levando a ondas de calor, incêndios florestais e a expansão dos desertos. O aumento da energia atmosférica e das taxas de evaporação estão causando tempestades mais intensas e extremos climáticos, danificando a infraestrutura e a agricultura. Os aumentos da temperatura da superfície são maiores no Ártico e contribuíram para o recuo das geleiras, do permafrost e do gelo marinho.

Dashes and commas

Explanation:

One of the functions of dashes and commas is to mark an interruption from the rest of a sentence. These punctuation marks can be used in pairs (when they are in the middle of a sentence) or alone (mainly when they are at the end of the sentence) and their main difference is that while commas are used to mark off a weak interruption, dashes mark a strong interruption.

Examples:

He loved me — that's what he had said— but he left abruptly and never came back.

Mark wanted a family — or so he believed.
