I'm taking the test right now. read the excerpt from enrique’s journey. two gangsters had overheard his description and kicked him mercilessly. "next time, we kill you," the gangsters told him. the teenager, afraid for his life, asked to be deported. read the excerpt from "children of the drug wars." we should also make it easier for children to apply as refugees when they are still in central america, as we have done for people in iraq, cuba, countries in the former soviet union, vietnam and haiti. those who showed a well-founded fear of persecution wouldn’t have to make the perilous journey north alone. how do details from the excerpts support the purpose of advocating for children from central america? both include information that ask people to children from central america. both offer solutions that show how victims from other countries have been . the excerpt from enrique’s journey uses quotations to show that it is better for these children to be sent back, and “children of the drug wars” uses examples describing how other countries have dealt with the issue. the excerpt from enrique’s journey tells a story about what happened to one victim, and “children of the drug wars” uses words that create an emotional response to persuade readers to take action.

i dont know i didnt take the test

1.   in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty.   through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3.   the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.
