At first, the clubs were frightening,
swinging away from my hands in strange patterns--
red—yellow—blue--
chaotic, unpredictable,
colliding like doomed galaxies
in midair.

Best to jump back, to let go.
I tried to tame them, then,
launching one at a time, only one
in a slow, controlled arc.

Cautiously I added a second,
letting the last wait in my hand
while its fellows soared…
but it was such a handful!

Always there was one too many,
smashing down on my fingers,
bouncing away from my grasp.

At last I learned
how to grip with my thumb, how to keep my fingers waiting.
I caught the clubs as they came down:

One, two. Stop.

One, two. Stop.

But I could not let the third club go.
I resigned myself to two;
two was easy, familiar.

There was no fear of breaking things,
no worry of losing control.
Over and over I flipped the colors,
but still everything was missing.

And then there came a day
when I let go with full force,
spinning the third club away
with the sudden trust that it would come back.
It did.

Solidly they kept returning,
one two three one two three,
perfect rhythm in my hands.

Perfect order, perfect chaos,
for as long as I could trust the risk
of each new throw.

Can someone give me a detailed answer on the significance of the cross?

Answers

Answer:

Symbol of Christianity and Jesus?

Explanation:

Answer:

Jesus Christ died on a wooden cross in the month Nisan in A.D. 33. He died because some Jewish leaders plotted to pressure Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea, to put Him to death by crucifixion (Matthew 27:1, 11-20; Luke 23:13-24). The Roman soldiers had already beaten him and placed a crown of thorns on his head (John 19:1-5). After the sentence to crucify Christ was announced (Luke 23:20-25; John 19:12-16),  Jesus  was forced to carry the cross on which He was to die (John 19:17-18). He had to carry the very tool of His death. Later it became the symbol of His death.

Part a in second inaugural address how does Lincoln explain why the country went to war

Answers

Answer:

Rejecting the South's defense of slavery as “a positive good” and the North's assumption that they bore no responsibility for the peculiar institution, Lincoln used his Second Inaugural Address to propose a common public memory of both the war and American slavery as the basis for restoring national unity.

Explanation:

Answer:

The "scourge of war," he explained, was best understood as divine punishment for the sin of slavery, a sin in which all Americans, North as well as South, were complicit. It describes a national moral debt that had been created by the "bondsmen’s 250 years of unrequited toil," and ends with a call for compassion and reconciliation.

14. Her cat is near the computer to keep an eye on the mouse. What type of figurative language is
used in this sentence? *
(5 Points)
understatement
idiom
pun
hyperbole

Answers

Answer:

Pun

Explanation:

The kind of figurative language that has been employed in the sentence 'Her cat...mouse' would be:

C). Pun

'Pun' is characterized as the figurative language in which the author employs a 'wordplay where similar definitions or sounds of two words or phrases or different definitions of the same word are deliberately confused.' This use of words having similarity in sound yet distinction in meanings helps the author create a funny or rhetorical impact. In the given sentence, the use of the word 'mouse' gives two meanings i.e. 'the rodent rat' and the 'input device of the computer' that creates confusion to develop that rhetorical impact.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

PART A: Williams is quoted in the text stating that he is "innocent." In a few sentences, explain what Williams means by "innocent." Is Williams denying that he committed crimes? The story is STANLEY WILLIAMS on commonlit

Answers

Answer:

Williams was not absolving himself of the crimes he committed in the past, rather he was referring to his new status and state of having repented, being redeemed, and now being crime free.

Explanation:

Stanley Williams, according to the passage was a notorious gang member and leader who formed the Cribs a very dangerous group that harassed the people of South Central, Watt, and Compton. He went to juvenile prison in 1969 for stealing a car. In 1979, he was sentenced to death after he was convicted on four counts of murder.

Williams retraced his steps in 1993, he wrote books for children, and generally changed for good. In saying that he was innocent, he was referring to his new state of being redeemed from all the crimes he had committed.

Why is balance important? How does balance affect your environment? How does balance affect your life? what sorts of things are out of balance in our modern world?

Answers

Explanation:

Balance is important because without it, life would tip in one direction, and that is never a good thing. Think of life as a scale, good things and bad things go on one side or the other, we think that if the scale goes to all good things, that all will be perfect, but we know that that isn't possible, but we still strive to make it that way. Balance in the environment is usually corrupted by human activity. Balance between predator and prey, balance between beauty and ugliness, balance. But this balance is so often tipped and tampered with by us, humans. The whole Earth is off balance, she's tipping and turning, trying to keep herself alive as we kill her. Humans are off balance, running and trampling, trying to get ahead, but we fail to realize that ahead is relative, that ahead is just something we say to make ourselves feel better about the unjustifiable things we do.
