Please give pointers to write a poem called "I am." The poem is supposed to be like Sandy Maas' poem called "I Am." The first stanza starts with "I...

Defined€¦" is perhaps the ultimate
expression of language." Your poem has a specific structure (using "I am€¦" or
"I€¦"), but no rhythm and rhyme. It is, however, still a poem.

Your
assignment will be easier if you separate it into pieces. My students have done something very
similar in the past.

You are first asked to provide a " href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/stanza"
title="stanza">stanza" (like a paragraph) that
begins with "I am" and list two of your characteristics. I do not
know you and cannot complete your assignment for you, but I can give you an
example for myself:

I am easily entertained
and romantic.

This line provides two of
my characteristics. Characteristics, in general, could include
"generous," "cautious," "out-going", "stubborn,"
"funny," "shy," etc. They act as adjectives in describing
you.

The next part of the same
stanza (on the next line) asks you to include something
about which you wonder, think or are curious. For example, it could be what would it be like to
travel in outer-space, how it might feel to fly, or how it might feel to live on a
house-boat.

Next line: continue with an imaginary sound"I hear"you
might imagine the sound of a cow laughingthis is imaginary as I do not think cows laugh. (Has
your teacher said it is something that does not exist or something
you have not heard but can only imaginelike the call of a
moose€¦?)

The imaginary "I see" item could be a flying carpet, a
talking dog or an owl that wears glasses.

The last line of this first stanza
repeats the first line that you wrote to start the poem. In my case, I
would write, "I am easily entertained and romantic." (Remember: all of these
items should be on separate lines.)

Now
skip a full line and begin your
second stanza. Start with "I pretend" and list something that you
have pretended to belike a famous rock star or movie
star, or that you pretend existslike no war. On the next line, write
"I touch" and complete it with something that you touch in your
imagination: perhaps the coat or skin of some kind of animal. The next line begins
"I worry"list something that you worry about. You don't have to write about something
really personal if you don't want to, but you could write about something littlelike homework or
what to wear. The next line lists something that makes you cry€¦"I cry
about or over"anything that saddens you. The last
line of this stanza is the first line of the poem that you wroterepeated on
this new line. Now you can see a
pattern emerging. Skip a line.

For the third stanza, write the words "I understand"finish the line with
something you know is true. On a new line, write "I say"this is
something you believe in...it could be as simple as "love."  For
the next line, write "I dream" and finish the line with something you actually dream
about. Go one then to the following line and write "I try" and list something you
really make an effort withsomething you try hard at€¦perhaps a sport or school work. Your next
line starts "I hope" and finishes with something you actually
hope for. The last line of the stanza is the repetition of the first line
of the poem that you wrote, "I am€¦"

Double-checkeach stanza has
six lines; each item is on a separate line; and a line is skipped between stanzas. Proofread for
spelling.

Reread the poem and see how these simple lines have created
something like an autobiographywhile still sounding like a poem each line begins with
"I" which is a form of repetition.

What Is Ironic About The Ending Of The Poem "richard Cory" By Edwin Arlington Robinson?

When the
outcome of a situation is the opposite of what one would expect, that is situational . In
"," as the poem describes the character, readers believe he is a person who has
everything going for him--he has it all. Readers understand why the townspeople--"we people
on the pavement"--would envy him, wanting to be in his place.

Richard
Cory has good looks: he is "clean-favored and imperially slim." He has good manners
and breeding: he is "a gentleman." He has nice clothes and a good presence about him:
he is "quietly arrayed" and he glitters when he walks. Yet he doesn't seem to be
conceited or to put on airs: he is "human." Not only that, he is extremely
wealthy--"richer than a king"--at least to the people who are living in poverty,
working for wages that don't even allow them to buy meat. 

All these virtues
that Richard Cory has make it seem likely that he would be happy and satisfied with his life.
Yet he must not be, because he ends up committing suicide. This is...

What are the traditions/attitudes in 1984 that Orwell wishes to modify. Political or Social

Socially, it is
clear thatwants to modify the prevailing attitude to sexuality. Specifically, he wants people to
have the freedom to have sexual relationships with whomever they choose. He also wants people to
have complete control over who they marry. This is shown clearly by 's words as he andhave sex
for the first time (at the end of part two, chapter two):

Their embrace had been a battle, thea victory. It was a blow struck against the Party.
It was a political act.

This idea is also reinforced by
the portrayal of the Junior Anti-Sex League earlier in the book. Winston's disdain toward the
promotion of celibacy suggests that Orwell would like to see such puritanical attitudes
eradicated.

In terms of politics, Orwell also promotes the freedom of
speech. We see this through Winston and his diary. Although keeping a diary is not against the
law, Winston knows that if caught, he will be imprisoned in the Ministry of Loveat the very
least. When Winston finally gets...

How did Okonkwo change in the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe?

doesn't
truly change during the novel. He is rigid in his ways and unaccepting of new ways of life in
his village with the introduction of imperialism. As others in the village drift toward the
church during his banishment, he is in his mother's land working to get back to where and how he
was. His absence feeds into the inability to accept change because for him, it was not gradual,
but instead it was a slap in the face of his life and culture. If he had been there the whole
time, maybe he would have had an easier time accepting change, but he was a character that was
rigid in his ways due to the lackadaisical life of his father and his vow to never be like
him.

One can make the case that he did change upon the birth of Ezinma. He
valued her, especially over , in that he was morbidly concerned when she was sick - this was a
drastic change from him killingwho was the son he never had. He seemingly softened when it came
to Ezinma, but probably not enough to really claim that he had actually
changed.

How did European countries justify their imperialism?

According
to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, imperialism is "the policy, practice, or advocacy of
extending the power or dominion of a nation especially by direct territorial acquisitions or by
gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas." European
imperialism began in the sixteenth, century when explorers from Europe looked for new trade
routes to the Far East, explored the Americas, and colonized North America, South America, and
Asia. This time period is referred to as the era of Old Imperialism.

The era
of New Imperialism began in the nineteenth century, when European powers established extensive
empires in Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and China. These
empires were set up in the wake of technological, scientific, and industrial advances brought
about by the Industrial Revolution. The European powers that participated in both the old and
new eras had several justifications for their...

What is the Neolithic Revolution and how did settlement patterns and life change as a result?

The
Neolithic Revolution, or Agricultural Revolution, was the human shift from hunting and gathering
to planting and domestication of animals.  It was made possible by the warming climate that
occurred after the last ice age.  The shift from hunting to farming had profound effects on
humanity.

After humans learned to plant and domesticate, a move away from
nomadic existence was possible.  Humans gravitated to water sources like creeks and rivers.
 River valleys became popular destinations. An important result of farming was that larger
yields of food allowed for larger populations.  The larger populations led to the first
permanent settlements.  Small farming villages grew into towns, which eventually turned into
large river civilizations.

The birth of larger settlements also had
consequences.  The need to manage surplus resulted in more complex governments being
established.  With larger populations living in such close proximity to one another, disease was
more common.  

The idea that humans could produce a surplus of food and other
goods led to many new developments.  One negative that arose from farming was a competition for
resources, which led to the advent of warfare.  The allocation of these resources also led to
the first social class systems and specialized jobs.  In order to keep track of the surpluses,
writing systems were invented.

The consequences of the Neolithic Revolution
would be unmatched in scope and scale until the Industrial Revolution many millenia later.
 

What were the strengths and weaknesses of Lincoln's Reconstruction plan?

One major
disadvantage of Lincoln's plan was its leniency. Lincoln wanted to allow the former states of
the Confederacy back into the Union with only ten percent of the eligible voters swearing
loyalty to the Union. He also did not insist on black suffrage. While Lincoln did insist on a
slavery ban, he was not as progressive on civil rights as many abolitionists hoped. Lincoln's
plan was to bring the South back into the Union with as little turmoil as possible; he did not
viewas a vehicle for social change. Lincoln's plan also did not realize the animosity that many
in the North felt toward the Southern leadership, as there were cries from the Radical
Republicans that certain Southern leaders should hang for their crimes. Lincoln's plan was not
as stringent as the Wade-Davis Bill that eventually passed; this bill called for fifty percent
of the eligible voters in a state to swear loyalty to the Union and required black
suffrage.

The major disadvantage also turned out to be...
