My Antonia quote explain!? (POST ASAP)?
How can i explain this quote? PG 99 " We were pleased at this praise. Grandmother spoke feelingly. 'When she first came to this country, frances, and had that genteel old man to watch over her, she was pretty a girl as ever I saw. But, dear me, what a life she's led, out in the fields with those rough threshers! Things would've been very different with poor Antonia if her father had lived.'" @.@ Help please.

"We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had forgotten everything—death, fatigue, our natural needs. Stronger than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die, condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men on earth. At last, the morning star appeared in the gray sky. A trail of indeterminate light showed on the horizon. We were exhausted. We were without strength, without illusions."

"People fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves. For evil in the open is but evil from within that has been let out. The main battlefield for good is not the open ground for the public arena but the small clearing of each heart." Life of Pi. Chapter 25
Can anyone further explain this quote? ?
I will break it down to what I think it is saying: Look like a girl= Signifying our youth. A girl is a perfect picture of beauty and innocence. Act like a lady= That would mean having manners and class. A lady never would act vulgar. She would always remember who she is and would command respect from others. Think like a man= Often a man is thought to be very logical with no nonsense attitude about him. He would be in complete control of his life and know where he is headed. He would not whine like a child. He would be a man in assuming full responsibility of his actions. Work like a boss= In other words, in having a strong desire to see everything work out, as if it is our own business. A boss works without getting tired and works through problems to achieve a solution. He never stops and he knows how to give orders to others.
Could someone explain this quote please?
The world is made by man--for man alone. I, who have lived as a man among men, realize it. I, who have talked with men as a man, know it. And whatever man may say about "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world," they know that nothing rules men but their desires and there is no ruler in this world but sex. what i think the quote is saying that society is dominated by men and they act on their desires such as sex, ultimately leaving sex as their ruler?
Can Anyone Explain These Shakespeare Quotes?
1) "Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry" If you loan money you often don't get it back and you lose the friend you lent it to because he is ashamed. If you borrow you don't learn how to budget yourself. 2) "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" You might do something. Some people will say it's bad, some will say it's good. If the Nazis had won WW2, everyone today would think that their actions had been correct.. 3) "Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind" If you give someone an expensive watch and then treat that person badly, it cheapens the gift. Romeo and Juliet: 1) "Tempt not a desperate man" It's easy to get a desperate person to do things by tempting them. A man who's about to be evicted from his house might be easily tempted by a friend to commit a crime to get money. 2) "It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear" This is part of jewel imagery in R&J. Romeo is comparing the shining brightness of Juliet to the dull background of all the others at the party. Macbeth: 1) "I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none" become=suit/apt I do everything that is appropriate for a man to do. Anything more than this would be unmanly.
Can someone please explain this quote for me?
-to understand a person fully you must understand and justify why a person acts a certain way. You would think of how you would feel if you were treated a certain way (being picked on etc.) -we are all uniquely human, we experience emotions, hardships etc. Anyways that's what I gathered from the quote.
Can someone explain what this quote means?
Well, we should never try to fully understand what a fortune cookie says. HAHA. Much of the time, it is just a play on words. In this case, take the first phrase: "Understanding the Nature of Change" What is the nature of change? first, it's unpredictable. You never really know when or how something is going to change do you? It's unknowable. You don't know what is going to change. I'm sure you could come up with some answers of your own here. The second phrase: "changes the nature" So, if you had the answers to what the nature of change is...then "change" would no longer be unpredictable or unknowable - because you 'understand' that 'nature'. Basically, it means if you knew what was going to happen to you, your life would never change.. The mystery would be gone.
Can someone break this down for me? explain what this quote meanning?
Poetry, being the revelation (revealing or stimulation) of feeling that the author might use to create the same feeling in the reader. To make it plain, the writer of this quote is explaining a sort of empathy between the author and the reader. (empathy, being the ability to feel what someone else is feeling). For an example, if someone you care deeply about is in some sort of pain, you might feel this pain as well. So, as described here, poetry is basically another form of what I have just explained; the only difference being that you don't know the person who is conveying these feelings to you. You understand and feel what emotion he is describing because you know and have felt them as well. This quote could be poetry if used in such a context, but because I cannot see what context it is in, I simply see it as a definition of what poetry is.
