Up-hill
by christina rossetti

does the road wind up-hill all the way?
yes, to the very end.
will the day's journey take the whole long day?
from morn to night, my friend.

but is there for the night a resting-place?
a roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
may not the darkness hide it from my face?
you cannot miss that inn.

shall i meet other wayfarers at night?
those who have gone before.
then must i knock, or call when just in sight?
they will not keep you standing at that door.

shall i find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
of labour you shall find the sum.
will there be beds for me and all who seek?
yea, beds for all who come.

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.

Chapters 3–5 while reading, think about… author’s purpose/point of view symbolism communication between characters —ethan frome

In about two hundred words, explain how the author's use of folktales and symbolism add meaning to the story and convey the central theme of the novel: the disintegration of the traditional igbo society as a result of its contact with european practices and beliefs.
