in the following poem by gregory pardlo (published in 2007), the speaker describes watching children playing double dutch—a version of jumping rope in which two ropes are turned in opposite directions. read the poem carefully. write a paragraph in which you make a defensible claim regarding how pardlo uses simile and metaphor to convey a complex image of the girls

Hello. You forgot to put the poem to which the question refers. The poem is:

"The girls turning double-dutch

bob weave like boxers pulling

punches, shadowing each other,

sparring across the slack cord

casting parabolas in the air. They

whip quick as an infant's pulse

and the jumper, before she

enters the winking, nods in time

as if she has a notion to share,

waiting her chance to speak. But she's

anticipating the upbeat

like a bandleader counting off

the tune they are about to swing into.

The jumper stair-steps into mid-air

as if she's jumping rope in low-gravity,

training for a lunar mission. Airborne a moment

long enough to fit a second thought in,

she looks caught in the mouth bones of a fish

as she flutter-floats into motion

like a figure in a stack of time-lapse photos

thumbed alive. Once inside,

the bells tied to her shoestrings rouse the gods

who've lain in the dust since the Dutch

acquired Manhattan. How she dances

patterns like a dust-heavy bee retracing

its travels in scale before the hive. How

the whole stunning contraption of girl and rope

slaps and scoops like a paddle boat.

Her misted skin arranges the light

with each adjustment and flex. Now heather-

hued, now sheen, light listing on the fulcrum

of a wrist and the bare jutted joints of elbow

and knee, and the faceted surfaces of muscle,

surfaces fracturing and reforming

like a sun-tickled sleeve of running water.

She makes jewelry of herself and garlands

the ground with shadows."

Answer and Explanation:

The simile and metaphor are figures of speech used to give depth and subjectivity to the text in a poetic way, through comparisons. The simile does this by comparing elements that have nothing in common, but that can be compared to create new meaning. The metaphor, in turn, makes a comparison between two elements that are not the same, but that have a common characteristic that can relate them.

In the poem, the author compares the activity of the forks with things that are difficult to perceive and even accomplish, things that are not normally seen. He does this to show how the activity the girls are doing is difficult and requires strength, concentration and a lot of effort.

The simile and the metaphor can be seen in the lines:

"The girls turning double-dutch

bob weave like boxers pulling

punches, shadowing each other,

sparring across the slack cord

casting parabolas in the air. They

whip quick as an infant's pulse

and the jumper, before she

enters the winking, nods in time

as if she has a notion to share,

waiting her chance to speak. But she's

anticipating the upbeat

like a bandleader counting off

the tune they are about to swing into."

A neutral atom of Cobalt (Co) has an atomic number of 27 and an atomic mass of 59. Therefore, Co has _______ neutrons.

An experiment was performed in which potato cores were placed in sucrose solutions of varying molarity. After time had passed, the percent change in mass of the potato cores was determined. The results of the experiment are shown in the graph.

A line graph shows sucrose molarity from 0 to 1 Upper M on the x axis and Percent change in mass from negative 30 to positive 30 on the y axis. Line starts at (0, 20) to (.2, 10), to (.4, negative 5), to (.6, negative 17), to (.8, negative 25) to (1, negative 30).

Which of the following solutions was hypertonic to the potato? Why?

0.2 M because the potato core increased in mass, meaning water moved into the solution from the potato
0.2 M because the potato core increased in mass, meaning water moved into the potato from the solution
0.6 M because the potato core decreased in mass, meaning water moved into the solution from the potato
0.6 M because the potato core decreased in mass, meaning water moved into the potato from the solution

Starch is too large to cross the selectively permeable membrane and must be broken down into simpler molecules before it is transported to other cells. To do this, starch-digesting enzymes called amylases are formed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are transported from cell to cell.

Which of the following best describes the mechanisms by which these enzymes would be transported from the cell and into a new cell?

A vesicle from the ER will pass through the plasma membrane via exocytosis, and will then be transported to a new cell via phagocytosis.
The enzymes will diffuse across the plasma membrane, and then form a vesicle in the extracellular matrix that will be engulfed by the new cell via pinocytosis.
The enzymes will pass through a channel protein to leave the cell, and then form a vesicle in the extracellular matrix that will be engulfed into the cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
A vesicle from the ER will fuse with the cell membrane and release the contents into the extracellular matrix via exocytosis, and then the plasma membrane will engulf the enzymes via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
