"A Valentine" by Edgar Allan Poe
1.For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes,
2. Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
3. Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
4.Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
5. Search narrowly the lines!-they hold a treasure
6. Divine-a talisman-an amulet
7. That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure-
8. The words-the syllables! Do not forget
9. The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor
10.And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
11. Which one might not undo without a sabre,
12.If one could merely comprehend the plot.
13.Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
14.Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
15. Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
16.Of poets, by poets-as the name is a poet's, too,
17. Its letters, although naturally lying
18.Like the knight Pinto-Mendez Ferdinando-
19. Still form a synonym for Truth-Cease trying!
20. You will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.

"you see he doesn't listen to me and doesn't take his medicine at the proper time. and above all he lies in a position that is no doubt bad for him.- with his legs up" she described how he made gerasim hold his legs up the doctor smiled with a contemptuous affability that said"what's to be done? these sick people do have foolish fancles of that kind, but we must forgive them they all rose, said good-night and went away when they had gone it seemed to ivan ilyich that he felt better, the falsity had gone with them. but the pain remained--that same pain and that same fear that made everything monotonously alike, nothing harder and nothing easier. everything was worse again minute followed minute and hour followed hour everything remained the same and there was no cessation. and the inevitable end of it all became more and more terrible based on the excerpt, how is praskovya fedorovna a character foil to ivan ilyich? a. she is kind and takes care of ivan, which is why he feels guilty about how he treated her for most of their married life • b. she is vindictive toward ivan while pretending to be worried about him, thus reminding him of how his family has never forgiven him she plays the part of the worried wife without any real feeling, symbolizing the false propriety ivan upheld but now hates c. d. she is young, healthy, and beautiful-everything ivan can never be again and wishes he could return to

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
