PLZHELP ASAP You have just read some poems that use nature as a symbol for something else; in this case, the characteristics of human beings. If you had to choose something in nature to symbolize who you are and your characteristics, what would it be? A plant? An animal? A body of water? The mountains or the desert? There are many choices. Think about your personality, choose one thing from nature that best symbolizes who you are, and then use the Text Editor to write a paragraph about it. Before you begin, brainstorm some ideas. In what ways are you and the thing you chose to symbolize yourself similar? Use vivid descriptions and details so that the reader will have a very clear understanding of why you and your symbol in nature are so similar. This paragraph must contain at least 150 words or more. As always, check your writing thoroughly for spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Match the definition to the word for a better understanding of the paragraph. 1 money does not buy happiness or security. 2john ringling, one of the five brothers of the ringling brothers circus, started out in 1884 with a trained horse and a performing bear. 3for over forty years, he worked hard at the family enterprise, bought up smaller circuses, and imported new acts. 4in the 1920s, he was rated as one of the world's wealthiest men and owned every sizable circus in the country. 5over 5,000 people were on his payroll, and over 240 railroad cars were in his retinue each time the circus moved. 6at the time of his death, however, he was a nervous, unhappy man; he was also bankrupt and beset by lawsuits. 7his carefully built circus empire passed into alien hands. 8all those years of work had turned to dust. 1. business organization alien 2. group beset 3. without funds to pay debts retinue 4. troubled or harassed enterprise 5. strange; belonging to another person, place, country, or thing bankrupt
