In at least 150 words, describe how Nazim Hikmet was connected to the avant-garde, and how this connection was developed in his poetry.

Avant-garde

The above word has it's origins in French language which means to “vanguard” or “fore-guard” or "to protect".

It was as a military term used to describe a small troop of highly skilled soldiers who went before the rest of the army to survey the terrain and communicate any dangers perceived.

Hikmet was introduced to the world of rhymes and verses at a very early age, his grandfather being one of the major influences.

By the time he was seventeen, he had published the first volume of his poems. Soon after this, he joined the Naval War School during the First World War and worked as a teacher in an school located in the eastern parts of Turkey. It was during this period that he started nursing the avant-garde ideas.

He was attracted by the promises by the Russian Revolution of egalitarianism.  Nazim Hikmet went to Moscow in 1922. There he got himself admitted into  the University of Moscow and where he studied Sociology and Economics.

In 1924, after the Turkish Liberation War, he returned to Turkey in 1924 but was arrested shortly afterwards for his writings in a Communist magazine. In 1926, two years later, he managed to escape to Moscow where he continued writing.

explanation:

he looks like one

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
