Does anyone know the answer for edge if not
read shakespeare's "sonnet 130.”

my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
coral is far more red, than her lips red:
if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
i have seen roses damask'd, red and white,5
but no such roses see i in her cheeks;
and in some perfumes is there more delight
than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
i love to hear her speak, yet well i know
that music hath a far more pleasing sound: 10
i grant i never saw a goddess go,—
my mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
and yet by heaven, i think my love as rare,
as any she belied with false compare.

what is the best paraphrase of line 12?

1. she has trouble walking on the ground.
2. when she walks, she leaves footprints.
3. like everyone, she walks on the ground.
4. she cannot be compared to other standards.

The answer is "She cannot be compared to other standards"

Explanation:

Shakespeare uses lot's of figurative language in his plays. He uses many similes, and metaphors in this sonnet. The first line "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" is a simile comparing her eyes to the sun, because of it's beauty, and how hot it is. The main idea of this poem is what Shakespeare's feels for her is not love, but lust. He feels a sexual desire for her, but he explains how she will grow old, which causes him to lose that feeling. Hope this helped. : )

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
