What is the theme of this poem? :

simply by speaking or writing.
sometimes we cannot say what we mean
there are other ways than words.

a gentle brush stroke whispers.
not so shy? bright colors shout excitement!

pound clay to express yourself.
the clay is willing
to follow your every whim.

it is as generous as the wood
that allows you to break it
of saying what you mean
through sculpture.

so i can give or take the pen
since words do have their limits.

yet, how else could i tell you this?
i need this way
to say what i mean.
and i'm glad to have this choice
and countless others that can match the moment
and convey my mood and message.

Part consider this quote from the video: i don't think ravi felt isolated. i think he was bored, and he didn't think the game was very interesting. like he wanted to hide so that he didn't have to play, and he could just chill and wait it out. do you agree or disagree with this point of view? find evidence from the story to support or refute the student's claim. in your response, clarify why you agree or disagree with the student's thoughts.

How is time represented in “persistence of memory” by salvador dali? what effect does dali achieve? can writers use similar techniques in written works? how would writers achieve this with words?

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
