Browning over-exaggerates the features and beauty of the nature of England almost making them come alive with her use of personification. The poem is very descriptive and also plays on all the five senses. She shows the sense of taste with the use of the word ‘sweeter’ in line 12, ‘ Made sweeter for the step upon the grass’ and also line 20, ‘Fed full of noises by invisible streams,’ the sense of hearing is shown using the word ‘noises.’ Browning also used the repetition to give the reader a sense of continuity. She shows that nature is evergreen and will be omnipresent in this world. This can be seen with the repetition of words like ‘the’ and ‘and’.
The balanced mix of people, profession and social status allowed Whitfield to infuse each biography with ancillary information pertaining to religion, flora and fauna, medicine, housing, food, scenery, and so forth. She also was quite faithful to report major historical events for each "tale." I believe there are several reasons for her writing of this history. First, I think she writes it to change the negative perception of the history of Central Asia that we know through the annals of its neighbors. By explaining the history of the region through the eyes of its own occupants, it rids the history of any distorted views from neighboring civilizations.
Sandra Murawski AP English Language November 13, 2012 Mrs. King Multiple-Choice protocol for Mangroves passage/test. Question 1: I thought D was the correct answer, but the answer was actually B.

At first, I believed that mangroves’ skills were that they created islands that seem to move. I was wrong to think that the mangroves created some sort of movement to the islands because the author never states how the mangroves portray movement nor flow to the island.
Essay Image is a powerful tool in today’s society and is frequently used in texts to convey meaning. The Rabbits, written by John Marsden and illustrated by Shaun Tan powerfully highlights the dramatic impact of British colonisation on Australia and it’s Indigenous inhabitants. Techniques such as colour, symbolism, page layout etc. are deliberately employed to highlight specific themes of power and control and displacement and loss and therefore give the viewer a greater appreciation of the text. Visual techniques are successfully used to convey the key theme of power and control in The Rabbits.
She starts with a direct quote from Major Stephen Long, who uses the word “dreary” in reference to the landscape. This helps her to highlight the point she made in the first half, as she asserted the boring nature of the area. Then, she transitions to the division of land in 1785, which found the country “so well behaved that it laid itself down into neat, even squares.” These historical references to the area not only give Marquart support for her claim, they are credible sources and people whom she can place in her memoir prove her ideas are shared by many who have described the land before. To further this point, Marquart describes her ancestors’ arrival to the area as “the end of the line;” where there was land to claim. Stating it this way allows her to point out that her ancestors did not choose to settle in the area, they were forced to by the availability of land at the time.
There were many positive affects to Imperialism in India. According to document 1, Under British direction, “garden spots” can yield tropical produce for the British. In return, they bring manufactured goods and food stuffs to the garden spot areas. The colonizer brought over the benefits of civilization also. India didn’t have the strength to build up their own civilization, so when the British came, they gave them aid in creating one.

ALBERT NAMATJIRA BOOMERANG 1936 ALBERT NAMATJIRA WALL PLAQUE c. 1937 Namatjira painted in a unique style. His landscapes normally highlighted both the rugged geological features of the land in the background, and the distinctive Australian flora in the foreground with very old, stately and majestic white gum trees surrounded by twisted scrub. His work had a high quality of illumination showing the gashes of the land and the twists in the trees. His colours were similar to the ochres that his ancestors had used to depict the same landscape, but his style was appreciated by Europeans because it met the aesthetics of western art.

Patterson’s inclusive language ‘we grieve to disappoint you’ reveals that the voice of protection is not only Patterson’s but rather the distinctive voice of country society. Patterson’s logos ‘Where the sun-baked earth was gasping like a creature in its pain, You would find the grasses waving like a field of summer grain’ illustrates that if Lawson was willing to journey through the bush with an open mind and at the correct time of year instead of visualising a sunbaked earth he would visualise the lush green grass full and rich. Patterson continues to reveal his patriotism through the glorification of the bush ‘Did you hear no sweeter voices in the music of the bush’ visually demonstrates the magnificent country life, and confirms Patterson’s distinctive patriotic
After migrating to England, her memories of Australia are vividly illustrated by the naturalistic and liberating imagery of “lake, hills, blue green light and high sky.” This accumulative listing, formed into one fast paced sentence reflects how Australia’s landscape has a profound influence on her Australian sense of identity. This deep spiritual connection is reflected through the personification of the mountains which “wooed her.” Similarly to Feliks, this need motivates her to find a familiar “piece of landscape I could breathe in.” This mirrors the idiom of a “piece of cake,” which highlights her deep hunger and the satisfaction in finding a sense of Australian familiarity. References to well known icons such as “Home and Away” and “Neighbours,” reflects her patriotism, providing verisimilitude and connection to Australian readers. The continual references to her past highlight the enduring nature of belonging which may provide our identity from a young
