Where are we going, Walt Whitman? The doors close in an hour. Which way does your beard point tonight?

(I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.)

Will we walk all night through solitary streets? The trees add shade to shade, lights out in the houses, we’ll both be lonely.

Why does Ginsberg most likely make an allusion to Walt Whitman in this excerpt?
to support Ginsberg and Whitman’s close friendship
to show Ginsberg’s esteem for Whitman and his work
to hint at Ginsberg’s embarrassment at his own behavior
to share Ginsberg’s desire to live during Whitman’s lifetime

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.

the answer:

in the first part of the story running is all that matters to squeaky. running gives her confidence and defines who she is. at the beginning of the story she says that other kids call her mercury because she runs very fast. in the text she refers to herself as "miss quicksilver".

the line that provides the best evidence that squeaky has self-confidence is

" and i continue with my breathing exercise, strolling down broadway toward the ice cream man on 145th with not a care in the world cause i am miss quicksilver herself".

edmund spenser and john bunyan also influenced hawthorne. : )

i hope this you with your work : )
