1. Explain how Miss Dulcie treats Annie John and why.
2. Explain what the narrator means by “the dustheap of my life.”

criticism and detest.

Explanation:

Miss Dulcie treated Annie John with criticism and detest. Annei says that she was treated like a servant who was made to sweep the floor instead of sewing. She also says that Miss Dulcie would always criticize her even though she did exactly what she wanted her to do.

By “the dustheap of my life", the narrator means that she is putting all her anguish over Miss Dulcie behind the past and moving forward in life. "Dustheap of life" is being referred to as bad things that happens in our life which we need to let go.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
