And why is it "twelve" and not "twoteen"? Also, once you do get into the teens, it's "thirteen" instead of "threeteen", and "fifteen" instead of "fiveteen"?

Margaret Atwood's Poem "You fit into me"
You fit into me
like a hook into an eye
a fish hook
an open eye

Can anybody explain to me more on this poem other than what I already have…

Magaret Antwood’s poem is short and simple. This amplifies the title “You fit into me”. The poem is fit for its title when it is short and sweet like it is.
She repeats “hook” and “eye” in the poem because that is what she means when she says “you fit into me. She explains how, and then you realise that is al she needs te say. She needs not explain it further because that is how it ‘fits’.

The reader of the poem can also give notice to the word “...fit...” in the first line and then to the shortness (smallness?) of the poem. ‘Fit’ is also asociated with the word ‘size’. Because big or small it has to fit.
The poem might of been written this short to make more of an impact and a stronger statement. One can memorize it just by reading it once. This is the impact it has on

I'm writing a paper on "Liberty under Law: Empowering Youth, Assuring Democracy" and I am supposed to include that all youth need to understand thier rights and responsibilities under the law to become effective participants in our nation's civic life. I get the rights part, but I'm having trouble addressing the responsibilities part. Partly because I don't know them that well, but also I can't make what I do know flow and sound good in my essay. Can anybody help me?!?

don't know exactly how to explain that I'm not hypocritical. Like I don't tell people that they should do things that I wouldn't do but I don't know how to stretch that thought to at least 2 paragraphs. I'm also going to include how some people are hypocritical so any help with that one too would be great

Like when you explain something, and say "To ... means to ask someone if THEY want to...".
Or, can I say "I have to ask a person if THEY want..."?
I'm asking this because it sounds funny to say "they" when you're talking about just one person.
I always said him/her instead of they, but my English isn't so good.
Could you please explain to me, and give examples? Thank you very much!!
