The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called "the Poetry of the Portfolio."—something
produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse
must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways.
On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and the unconventional utterance of daring
thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was absolutely no choice in the matter, she must write thus, or not at all. A
recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without setting her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years
during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all
but a very few friends, and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print, during her lifetime, three or four poems.
Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiously indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous
literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness

the answer is: tabard inn, southwark.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?

d. therefore pilots wisely train these cubs by various strategic tricks to look danger in the face a little more calmly.

c or d they are the same

answer: inference

explanation:

an inference can be understood as a conclusion to which a person is able to get based on reasoning. it is the same as a deduction, a guess, an assumption.   in the sentence presented, the conjunction "but" gives the readers an idea of contrast, and, therefore, allows them to induce that despite the opponent's characteristics, andrea had something different that made her win.
