Read these lines from the poem "The Black Snake" by Patricia Hubbell.
Black snake! Black snake!
Curving down the lawn,
Glides like a wave
With its silver gone.
What is the meaning of the imagery in these lines?
The snake is trying to find its way back to the ocean.
The snake moves as seamlessly and effortlessly as the ocean.
The snake is as elusive and unpredictable as catching a fish.
The snake is a creature of the water. PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER
Answers
Answer:
The snake moves as seamlessly and effortlessly as the ocean
Explanation:
To me, it seems as the most logical since the lines of the poem are explaining the snakes movements as 'waves' and tainting it with the words 'curving' and 'glides'.
The second statement: The snake moves as seamlessly and effortlessly as the ocean.
Reasoning
The simile, "Glides like a wave" is comparing the snake's movements to the graceful flows of ocean waves.
"Curving down the lawn" describes that the snake is on someone's lawn and there is no statement showing that it is making an effort to escape.
These lines invalidate the others and prove the answer.

1. DISAGREE- Even though its the name your parents gave you, you have the right to change it if you dilike it or you want to be called something else.
2. DISAGREE- Names are names. It is a matter of OPINION what name is better. It isn't a FACT which names are better than others.
3. DISAGREE- Moving to a new coutnry does not mean you are abondoning your old culture. You can bring it with you to your new country and share your traditions and customs with everyone else. This has been done a lot. For example, tacos, burritos were brought over from mexico.
4. DISAGREE- Not always. For example, just because you are from america, doesn't mean you know everyone from america. Plus, there are 328.2 million people from America. You don't know them all.

Answers
Answer:
William Bradford.
Anne Bradstreet.
Explanation:
Excerpt written by Willian Bradford, in the poem "A word to New England":
"Oh New England, you can not boast;
Thy former glory thou hast lost.
When H00ker, Winthrop, Cotton died,
And many precious ones beside,
Thy beauty then it did decay,
And still doth languish more away. "
William Bradford was one of the first American writers, being one of the most important in the literary production and in the general history of the country. He was a Puritan, served as governor of the Plymouth colony and is the author of the most important account of English colonists and the difficulties they faced on the new continent.
Excerpt written by Anne Bradstreet, in the poem "Upon a Fit of Sickness":
"Bubble blast, how long can'st last?
That always art a breaking,
No sooner blown, but dead and gone,
Ev'n as a word that's speaking.
The whil'st I live, this grace me give,
I doing good may be,
Then death's arrest I shall count best,
because it's thy decree. "
Anne Bradstreet is recognized as the first poet within the territory where the USA is today. She never went to school, but she learned to read and write with her father who was instrumental in her education and one of the main responsible for her ability. She was also a Puritan, but she was not well regarded by other Puritans for displaying behavior considered wrong for that society, such as a woman writing and showing love for her husband.

if i was going to express my opinion about this topic it would would mostly about how the US has been treating black people all this years it was not only george floyd who was gun shot they have been mistreating black people and had blamed them for the things they haven't done just because they are black it doesn't mean they are different or they don't deserve to have the humans equality and right the black people should be respected and have all the rights that other people have. my contention would be that keep protesting the safe way because violence is not going to do anything then making worst if we protest with violence and they will make reports saying that they are protesting just because they want to steal and destroy things.
Answers
Answer:
The United States of America have been treating African Americans systemically worse than the general population for years before people woke up after the shooting of George Floyd. It has been shown in many of the states largest cities, black communities were policied differently, not treated with the same financial funding for education and other social programs that white communties recieved. With the recent events of George Floyd and countless other victims of police brutality, protests should remain peaceful, respectful and organized. These type of silent protests lead to more respect from both sides whether you agree or not and doesn't distance others who are on the fence of the issue at hand, systemic racism in the United States.
