"Death lies on her like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field." (Romeo and Juliet act 4.5)what does this simile tell you about how the character speaks and how the character feels?

Answers

This was obviously a long time ago, given the English. The character seems to be upset and he finds this loss to be a great one. He clearly loves this girl and he thinks losing her will be a tragedy. He is calling the girl the 'sweetest flower' and the 'untimely frost' is her death that happened too soon, with her being so young.
It seems like the character feels Juliet was too young and beautiful (like a flower) to die. With her untimely death like an early frost.

Answers

I am not entirely sure whether these are the correct answers, but I will try and hopefully it helps you. :)
1. It is false that you plan the conclusion first - you need to get the general idea, and then create the entire outline. 
2. It is true that a thesis statement may be controversial - if what you are writing about is a controversial topic, the thesis statement may as well be controversial.
3. It is true that you shouldn't introduce a joke in your speech unless it has some point that you want to prove - you don't want to include anything in your speech that doesn't have anything to do with what you are trying to achieve.
4. It is true that the idea is central, and that you organize your essay around it.
5. It is false that failure to listen comes only from outer distractions - it may come from the inner ones as well. You may be tired or stressed, and so in no condition to listen to someone carefully. 

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?Don wore braces on both of his legs still; he was an avid runner.
Don wore braces on both of his legs: still he was an avid runner.
Don wore braces on both of his legs still, he was an avid runner.
Don wore braces on both of his legs; still, he was an avid runner.

Answers

"Don wore braces on both of his legs; still, he was an avid runner" is the only sentence that is punctuated correctly, since the semicolon separates the two clauses. 

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is:

Don wore braces on both of his legs; still, he was an avid runner.

This is the correct option because the semicolon is a punctuation mark that is used to separate two major sentence elements, just like the ones presented here. Moreover, there is a comma after still, because it is an introductory phrase and the author wants to emphasize its sense of contrast.
