PL HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of thetree yuccas. Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in thattriangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. Theyucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which isslow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes eventhe moonlight fearful. But it isnt always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, whileyet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full ofsugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their[10] own delectation.Why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? To create an image of the sharp edges of the plant To emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are To explain when and where the plant grows To show how afraid the author is of the plant
This is an essay I had to write for an exam, I tried to make it as long as I could using one of those generators to fit the standards, it was difficult. can someone revise it for me and tell me if there's anything wrong with it?It was a breezy yet warm midsummer day on July twenty-fifth 2012, and I essentially was more than yare to relish my summer with my friends. Ash, my (now non binary) friend, was going to be having a birthday beach party at the shores approximately 3 hours away that day. I particularly was genuinely exhilarated in a pretty big way.I had to get ready within two hours, take a shower, fine-tune my hair, brush my teeth, get one of my bathing suits, and ascertain I had a good amount of sunscreen on. I'm jumbling attempting to get things done as quickly as possible afore we depart from our house, apparel on the floor scattered like broken glass, which is quite significant to what was about to happen.I'm running like lightning, then, I tripped on some shoes laying around Flat on my face, hard enough to cause the ground to crack. My mother rushes in to visually perceive if I'm okay, and what all the noise was about. She optically canvassed my face, and her ocular perceivers widened, horrified as if she visually perceived a ghost.I particularly asked her what was erroneous, and she optically canvassed me shocked, I conscientiously brushed the sort of blonde hair out of my face as she still for all intents and purposes had the horrified look on hers. I kind of abstracted my hand from my mouth to later optically actually discern blood on my fingers. I licked around my mouth to for all intents and purposes feel an immensely colossal gap where my fairly canine teeth used to be a minute ago and particularly felt a sharp pain in my gums in a subtle, yet excruciating way.bodyMy mom verbalizes, "Oh honey, you lost your baby teeth!" she exclaimed, but I wasn't as happy as she was, I had a party to generally go to in twenty minutes in a fairly major way, and my gums were gushing blood! I didn't want my friends to visually perceive my missing teeth and laugh at me, which is fairly significant. So, I obnubilated in my room and told my mom I didn't wish to go at all anymore. She reassured me, kindly telling me that's BS, and verbally expressed they'd celebrate I'm delicately comely, particularly contrary to my personal belief. I didn't believe her at first, but, after a couple of minutes of optically canvassing my reflection as my mother ran to find her car keys, I mostly commenced to celebrate. Maybe it wasn't so deplorable, sort of contrary to my past belief. We then went to the dentists, to then get the leftover broken teeth removed from my gums. After a couple of hours, we decided to go despite my missing teeth, and the fact we were super late.conclusion mum for the most part was right, contrary to my personal belief. Most everyone didn't care. The next day, I got ridiculed intensely, but marginally. It wasn't proximately as deplorable as I mentally conceived it would be, or so they thought. I now actually like my teeth.
