Read this excerpt from allen ginsberg’s "a supermarket in california." we strode down the open corridors together in our solitary fancy tasting artichokes, possessing every frozen delicacy, and never passing the cashier. in this excerpt, the speaker of the poem and his imaginary companion are a. sampling items but not paying for them. b. stealing frozen goods from the grocery store. c. loading up their shopping cart with frozen food. d. marveling at the exotic offerings available at the market.

The correct answer is A. The speaker and his companion are sampling items but not paying for them. His companion is the American poet Walt Whitman. He's portrayed as a strong and powerful figure who is able to avoid the payment demands of the supermarket and capable of tasting food, enjoying the natural items offered there but he doesn't pay for them.

Whitman was admired by Ginsberg, he represented talent and freedom for the author of this poem. That is why he presents Whitman in the supermarket defying all laws of capitalism tasting vegetables and not paying for them, as if they were in a dreamed land.

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
