"abstraction" is often used to focus on a general case and ignore a specific instance of a problem. given this meaning of the word, how are functions with parameters an example of abstraction?

they pull objects closer together like a magnet

Explanation:

Hi! Well, I am not sure your question is complete enough or even in the right subject but, assuming it is, I would say that functions with parameters are an example of abstraction because they are limits for what we consider normal, so everything that happens between those parameters, without any specifications, are considered in a certain way.

Explanation:

This discussion even can get a little abstract if we don't put a clear example. So, let's do that. I would say that functions with parameters are an example of abstraction because it is a general concept where things develop. For example, we can say that we -humans-, at least in America, are free, but we are free to do certain things that don't hurt others and/or ourselves. So, the truth is we are free inside determined limits, between certain parameters. As long as we stay inside those parameters, we can do whatever we want, but if we go beyond those parameters, our behavior will be considered wrong by society. We can say that the "good" is an abstract concept, because it is a general concept that tries to describe the accepted behavior, but is not really listing any in particular. All the functions we develop inside those parametres are ok for the rest of us. That is why I think functions with parameters are an example of abstraction because they are limits for what we consider normal.

- free verse.

- " in poetry, one of the best ways to practice technique is to write in. i want all to be unstressed so that “all the clocks” and “in the night” are matching anapests. many forms that sharpen skills are useful in free verse."

try to do soaps tone.

s-subject

o-occasion (the reason the author wrote the poem)

a-audience (who is this poem mostly for)

p-purpose (was it to convince, inspire, etc. the audience)

s-speaker (can be the author or another character, like is a child, adult, woman, elderly, animal narrating the poem)

tone- the mood the reader gets from this poem

mood- the mood the author had with their own poem

meaning- what do you think the meaning is?

message- what is the author trying to explain to the audience? like what is the theme?

if you still don't get it try showing everyone the poem so they could unravel it
