Answer:
The Cherry Tree by Ruskin Bond we have the theme of struggle, resilience, dedication, conflict, growth, responsibility and pride. Taken from his Collected Short Stories collection the story is narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator and after reading the story the reader realises that Bond may be exploring the theme of struggle. The seed that Rakesh plants incurs many difficulties before it grows to become a cherry tree. Just as an individual may struggle in life so too does the cherry tree. However what is interesting is the resilience that the cherry tree shows. It is as though the cherry tree refuses to be defeated by life. If anything the cherry tree becomes more resilient as it grows. The fact that Rakesh also nurtures the cherry tree might be important as Bond may be suggesting that just as the cherry tree may need a little help to grow. So too do people. Those who are nurtured and cared for in life have a better chance of success (like the cherry tree) than those who may be left abandoned or forgotten about. Something that Rakesh does not do. He constantly keeps an eye on the cherry tree to ensure that everything is okay. Which may highlight the dedication that Rakesh has.
Just as the cherry tree mirrors the struggles that an individual might incur in life it is also possible that Bond is suggesting that in life comes conflict too. Something which is very much the case for the cherry tree. It is defenseless at first against any possible predators due to its size but as it grows it becomes stronger. Which may be symbolically important as Bond could be suggesting that an individual as they grow (not only physically) will also become stronger. If anything with growth comes the ability to overcome adversity. What also makes the cherry tree so important to Rakesh is the fact that he has been responsible for its growth. Just as a parent might help a child. So too has Rakesh helped the cherry tree. He has never forgotten his responsibility and there is a sense that Rakesh has been rewarded for his patience. The cherry tree is able to look after itself just as child might when he or she matures into adulthood. No longer does Rakesh have to worry about the cherry tree. Just as a parent may no longer have to worry about a child when he or she becomes an adult.
Rakesh’s grandfather may also be an important character as he in many ways acts as a guide for Rakesh. It is through his help that Rakesh is able to ensure that the cherry tree grows to become stronger. This may be significant as there are many similarities between Rakesh and the cherry tree. As Rakesh grows taller and stronger so too does the cherry tree. The reader aware that both have been helped and assisted by Rakesh’s grandfather. It is as though Bond is suggesting that with age comes wisdom and an ability to be kind to others. The reader already knows that without Rakesh’s grandfather’s help. Rakesh would not be in school. Which may bead some critics to suggest that Bond is highlighting the importance of family when it comes to an individual’s growth. Just as Rakesh might have a responsibility towards the cherry tree. So too does Rakesh’s grandfather have a responsibility towards Rakesh. The result being that Rakesh through the help of his grandfather is living a healthy and balanced life. He is being led by his grandfather along the right path in life. Just as the cherry tree is being nurtured by Rakesh. Rakesh in turn is being nurtured by his grandfather.

I need to write an "essay", any ideas? I need a topic that has depth and conveys emotion.
Answer:
maybe about personal growth?
or a loss, how you've changed, how you watched someone else change, accepting yourself, finding peace or meaning in life, a deep secret, a childhood memory that you still think about, thinking you're not good enough, loss of innocence, etc
Answer: The difference between writing emotion and writing feeling is more one of degree than kind. Feeling is emotion that has been habituated and refined; it is understood and can be used deliberately. I know how I feel about this person and treat her accordingly. Emotion is more raw, unconsidered. It comes to us unbidden, regardless of how familiar it might be. Rage is an emotion. Contempt is a feeling.
Both emotion and feeling are essential not only in fiction but in nonfiction. However, given their unique qualities, rendering them on the page requires different techniques.
Both rely upon understanding what readers want. People don’t turn to stories to experience what you, the writer, have experienced—or even what your characters have. They read to have their own experience. Our job is to create a series of effects to facilitate and enhance that experience.

In the poem i know why the caged bird sing how does the poet described the world of nature
Answer:
The poet described the world of nature in two ways: it's something fun and exciting for the free bird (the white people) while it's something painful and sad for the caged bird (the black people). For example, the first verse shows what the free bird can do with all his freedom. He can enjoy everything around him to the point that he becomes selfish that he "dares to claim the sky." On the other hand, the caged bird feels scared because he doesn't know so much due to his imprisonment. He feels like everything is a nightmare and all he ever wishes for is his freedom.
Explanation:
"I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" is a poem written by Maya Angelou, a poet who grew up in Arkansas. This poem is related to Maya's autobiography where she wrote all the trauma she encountered from childhood until she grew up. During her time, racism was very common and she was able to experience what it felt like being a "caged bird."

Mice and men chapter 1 summary
Answer: Hope this helps!!! :D
The story opens with the description of a riverbed in rural California, a beautiful, wooded area at the base of “golden foothill slopes.” A path runs to the river, used by boys going swimming and riffraff coming down from the highway. Two men walk along the path. The first, George, is small, wiry, and sharp-featured, while his companion, Lennie, is large and awkward. They are both dressed in denim, farmhand attire.
As they reach a clearing, Lennie stops to drink from the river, and George warns him not to drink too much or he will get sick, as he did the night before. As their conversation continues, it becomes clear that the larger man has a mild mental disability, and that his companion looks out for his safety. George begins to complain about the bus driver who dropped them off a long way from their intended destination—a ranch on which they are due to begin work. Lennie interrupts him to ask where they are going. His companion impatiently reminds him of their movements over the past few days, and then notices that Lennie is holding a dead mouse. George takes it away from him. Lennie insists that he is not responsible for killing the mouse, that he just wanted to pet it, but George loses his temper and throws it across the stream. George warns Lennie that they are going to work on a ranch, and that he must behave himself when they meet the boss. George does not want any trouble of the kind they encountered in Weed, the last place they worked.

What is the meaning of the foreign expression in bold? The Army Art Program began during World War I as a way to record history and boost morale. As part of the artist-in-residence program, eight soldier-artists were given carte blanche to use any style or medium they desired to create art depicting the lives of American soldiers.
Answer and Explanation:
Since this question has no options, I will offer a general explanation of the foreign expression.
The sentence we are analyzing here presents the French expression "carte blanche". Giving someone carte blanche means giving them total freedom to do something. For example: Mr. Johnson gave us carte blanche to choose the theme for our final paper.
In the passage, we are told "eight soldier-artists were given carte blanche". That means they were free to do whatever they chose to; they were free to use "any style or medium" they wanted.
The four of us were wrapped in so many layers of clothes it looked as if we were going off to spend the night in a refrigerator, and all that just so we could take more clothes with us. No Jew in our situation would dare leave the house with a suitcase full of clothes. I was wearing two undershirts, three pairs of underpants, a dress, and over that a skirt, a jacket, a raincoat, two pairs of stockings, heavy shoes, a cap, a scarf and lots more. I was suffocating even before we left the house, but no one bothered to ask me how I felt.

What does the excerpt show about the historical
context of the story?
Read the excerpt from "As Good as Gold."
When the news hit the Seattle press in July of 1897,
gold fever had spread to everyone, and old timers
stoked the flames with their stories of uncles who had
struck it rich back in the California days of '49. "But
California was dry and warm," Sam muttered as he
readjusted his pack and trudged on through the biting
snow of an Alaskan February. His brother Jake had
insisted that an early start would get them to a claim
just in time for the spring thaw of those golden creeks.
Gold had been discovered previously in Seattle.
Gold had been mined in North America before.
