Make sure to copy and paste the words from the word bank so you do not miss any questions due to misspellings. Mind Over Matter Some people are quick to reject the idea of a 1 illness. Very 2 people, in particular, are often annoyed at the idea that the mind they hold in such high esteem can play tricks on them and become an enemy. Comfortable with the 3 causes of illness, they find it hard to deal with the mental ones. Yet whatever the objections, it’s still true that the mind can turn against the body. People who suffer from long-term, uncontrollable stress often suffer from 4 or 5 problems. Their hearts suddenly beat faster than normal or their breathing becomes difficult for no particular reason. In cases of severe depression, some people have 6 problems. Their eyes twitch and their vision becomes blurred. Perhaps the only area of the body not subject to mind-induced illness are the ears and 7 problems seldom have an emotional basis. But for absolute proof of what the mind can do to the body, consider the suffering caused by anorexia, also known as the starvation disease. Those suffering from anorexia diet no matter how thin they really are, and in a matter of months, even those who started out 8 in 9 can become 10. Yes, the human mind is capable of great achievement. But when it mounts an attack on the body, it can turn deadly. And there are some emotionally-based illnesses for which logic has no weapons.

Hope that helps.

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.

uncanny would be like unlucky or disaster. you can look for more in the dictionary or if you have text book then turn to a. 17 but it's different with textbooks.
