OPEN ENDED QUESTION PLEASE HELP I NEED IT QUICK Reread the poems "End of April" and "End of August" by Heather Burns.

End of April
In an effort to become more like spring
She put on bright socks – fuchsia pink like the Azaleas in the gardens she sought
Out often to escape what winter still
Kept lodged in her mind. For who would go to
A garden to worry? Wanting to blend
In more, she began to clothe herself with
Wisteria, honeysuckle, trumpet
Vines so the hummingbirds came to know her
As spring itself. Whatever remained
Of her winter evaporated and then
Rained down in homage. When clouds were broken Open by the sun, she was gone – no one
Could say for sure what she used to look like.

End of August
We gather at the place where history
Wounds our future and it’s too bad that the
Balance gets thrown off again and we fall
Like peaches out of a bag, tumbling to
Bruised stops on the countertop. Summer is
Really over. All of our desires for how
To best spend it we wrote on paper plates
In June, in parables that made us laugh.
The thistle has bloomed, scattered. Our hearts cracked Open like thunderstorms that clustered on most Afternoons in July. No grief draws a
Ring around us like the end of August.
Our focus must shift to a new season,
A new frontier of weather, land, and fruits.

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
