Write an essay outline/plan on the poem "On the grasshopper and the cricket" that discusses and explains the use of imagery in 5 paragraphs."On the...

I suggest choosing a theme from the poem and writing an
essay explaining how imagery supports this theme.  I would suggest three uses of
imagery.  Here is an example theses:  In “On the Grasshopper and the Cricket” Keats
expresses the idea of nature’s unending beauty through imagery of warmth, renewal and
joy.  I would outline the essay this
way:


  1.  Introduction (use the thesis I gave
    you)

  2. Warmth Imagery: “the birds are faint with the hot
    sun” (2), “That is the Grasshopper's--he takes the lead/In summer luxury” (5-6), “from
    the stove there shrills/The Cricket's song, in warmth increasing ever”
    (12-13)

  3. Renewal Imagery: “The poetry of earth is never
    dead” (1), “And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run/From hedge to hedge about the
    new-mown mead” (3-4)

  4. Joy Imagery: “he has never done/With
    his delights; for when tired out with fun/He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed”
    (6-8)

  5. Conclusion (restate
    thesis)

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
