Answer:
No poem in American -- or perhaps in English--poetry exploits assonance and alliteration more than The Raven. These devices, coupled with repetition, result in an eerie, hollow, hypnotic effect throughout the poem--exactly what the poet wanted. Poe uses end rhyme AND internal rhyme AND enjambment to further contribute to flow, both of sound and 'story' (plot, if you want)
Poe does truly get carried away at times throughout the poem, carried away to the point where the rhyme itself becomes more important than the content, as in "perched" in the these lines( and note that for a bird 'perched and 'sat' are virtually synonymous:
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more
Most of the repeated vowel sounds in the poem are rounded and OPEN, contributing significantly to the hollow, echoing effect, then sharply contrasted by the short, unaspirated vowel of 'tap, tap'. The poem is a structrural tour de force

Read the passage then answer the question below:
The Ornithopter
Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.
In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.
Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.
Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.
Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.
As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.
But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.
He concluded that a human being's arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands.

Essay on 'Lesser number of female in politics'
PLZ HEP!!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!
The are an abundance of reasons as to why there aren't very many female politicians. One reason as to why is that there are still a fair amount of discrimination against not only women, but anyone who isn't white, male, and rich. That is a fact, especially with our current president. Not so long ago, women were to stay at home to cook, clean, and care for their children, while the husband worked.
Another reason to this is women are just plain and simply looked down on. This makes women lose confidence, knowing that they might not even be listened to or be taken seriously. Women are thought of as "sensitive and too emotional", and so emotions should not be in the workforce, which is absurd.
Most women that enter into politics are also more likely to not be accepted because most people today still actually believe that men should make the decisions for our country, because men simply no best.
There are many things that can disprove everything mentioned above. We have had many women that changed lives and impacted our society. There are far too many incidents where the woman shaped history, and example being Rosa Parks. Woman are just as capable of doing anything else a man does, we all breathe, long and want, which makes us the same.

Write a brief paragraph using the terms evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection to explain the water cycle. Write your paragraph on paper or type it using a word processing program.
Answer:
Hey there,
Water can evaporate from oceans, lakes ponds, streams, and puddles. This means that the water can pretty much float into the air, like it has a magnetic attraction to the clouds. These water droplets wrap themselves around dust and other irritants in the atmosphere. This is called condensation. Once clouds are formed, they keep collecting water until they are full. When clouds are full, they release water through precipitation. This means the water either falls in droplets again like rain or dew, or it freezes and falls as snow, sleet or hail. Fianally, collection is the process is where water collects to form puddles, or falls into streams, rivers, lakes or oceans.

Credit Credible Discredit Creditor Credibility Incredible Incredulous Which common root word do all the words on the left use? "inc" "cred" "di" "red"
Answer:
The common root word that they all have in common is "cred".
Explanation:
The root word "cred" is present in several words used in the English language. Some examples are: incredible, credulous, credential, credible, credence, and credit. "Cred" comes from Latin, and its original meaning is "believe". Notice how all the words that have "cred" as their root are somehow related to the sense of "believe". If something is incredible, that means it is hard to believe it is true. If you show your credentials, you are proving your identity, so that someone else will believe you are who you are.

The answer is "cred" or even easier, B

what ironic situation does Shapiro describe in paragraph 3?
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the remaining part of the question containing paragraph 3 (The Lessons of Salem by Laura Shapiro).
"He was right: even now the Salem witch trials haunt the imaginations of hundreds of thousands of Americans, tourists, and history buffs alike, who visit Salem for a glimpse of our Puritan past at its most chilling. This year "Salem is getting more attention than ever: the city is sponsoring an array of programs commemorating the Tercentenary, including dramatizations of the trials and symposiums of the legal and medical aspects of identifying witches in the 17th century. With the participation of such organizations as Amnesty International, the Tercentenary has placed a special emphasis on human rights and the role of the individual conscience in times of terror. In 1692, those who “confessed” to witchcraft were spared; only those who insisted on their innocence were hanged. Earlier this month a memorial to the victims was unveiled and on that occasion, the first annual Salem Award, created to honor a significant contribution to social justice, was presented to Gregory Allen Williams of Inglewood, Calif. In the midst of the Los Angeles riots last spring, Williams, who is black, risked his life to save an Asian-American attacked by a mob.
Explanation:
Remember, the term ironic situation is used when a situation where an action brings about an unexpected effect no one imagined would occur. In other words, the resulting outcome is different from what was expected.
For example, Shapiro stated, "Salem is getting more attention than ever: the city is sponsoring an array of programs commemorating the Tercentenary [three hundredth anniversisary], including dramatizations of the trials and symposiums of the legal and medical aspects of identifying witches in the 17th century."
This is an ironic situuation because we learned from the previous paragraphs that those accused of been witches or devils were killed in other to stop the spread of such actions or kind of thinking. However, the very actions that were once condemned have become the subject of attention, with dramatizations of the trials, etc.

explain dystopian setting with respect to the novel "The Giver"
Explanation:
In a dystopian setting like "The Giver", every single person is indistinguishable from another, so much so that it practically abolishes discrimination. However, this type of setting puts massive strains on individuality and since jobs are picked for every person in "The Giver", no one can harness their true potential, in whatever field they're skilled in. Emotions, the weather, almost everything is controlled by the Government, which leads to problems with the "perfect society" the Giver's government says they live in to the residents. No one really has "free will", and cannot live life to its fullest.

Hello, you did not show the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for me to give you an exact answer.
However, a counterargument that states that most people do not believe in the honesty of relationships based on social networks, says that this disbelief is created, mainly because on social networks anyone can pretend to be something they are not and start a relationship like that form. Therefore, the author states that since we do not know the real self of a person on social networks, we cannot believe in the honesty of relationships based on those same social networks.
