Black Lotus Villanelle Lotus rising out of South Side water & night
Gifting the world with your brilliant fruitful flower
We marvel at your beauty, bless your seeds with light
You bloom ivy league that is, grow tall in their sight
Defying every shallow pond with fierce power
Lotus rising out of South Side water & night
Your floral family hails from a deep southern plight
Ancestors fertilize the A. M.E. church hour
We marvel at your beauty; bless your seeds with light
For three days your petals bloom gallant as a knight
Picture that - Monet paints you in sun or shower
Lotus rising out of South Side water & night
How many six-foot stalks revel in their rare height?
Dark pods don't flinch; stand stoic as a light tower
We marvel at your beauty; bless your seeds with light
Stem of Third World Center, Egyptians know your rite
We pray you never wane or retreat to bower
Lotus rising out of South Side water & night
We marvel at your beauty; bless your seeds with light

Which is the best paraphrase of the text? the capability of a bicycle makes some people want to go very fast and others to go very slow. as long as you are careful, feel free to ride like the wind. when feeling brave on a bicycle you should ride fast, but when feeling afraid riding slow is wise. if you are unable to coast, it is pointless to even ride. if you’re going to ride a bicycle, you should throw caution to the wind and take over the road, swerving where you like and taking full advantage of your ride. it’s a real joy to be able to ride a bicycle, where you have the choice of going as fast or as slow as you like, using as much courage as you feel like using.

Returning from vietnam, we were indeed given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. what is one way the author's use of language contributes to the tone of this passage? a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment. b. the phrase "hot, angry tangle" is used sarcastically to create irony. c. the word "parade" is used sarcastically to create a lighthearted mood. d. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those returning.
