according to mr.swales, what is the purpose of a tombstone

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr. Swales thinks that the tombstones are just lies, mere trifles that are unnecessary and a cover for the truth.

Explanation:

Mr. Swales is a character in Bram Stoker's "Dracula". He is an oracle and a man who believes in the "evil" that resides in Whitby but his predictions and warnings go unheeded by everyone.

In Chapter VI, Mina wrote in her diary that she and Lucy along with Mr. Swales and his friends were on a walk along the graveyard when their talk turned to the topic of gravestones/ tombstones. While Mina thinks that these tombstones are a great way "to please their relatives" and give them a good 'reputation' of being a loving person for the family left behind. But Mr. Swales is of the opinion that such tombstones are unnecessary, a 'veil' to cover the truth about the dead person. He thinks that "It be all fool-talk, lock, stock, and barrel; that’s what it be, an’ nowt else. These bans an’ wafts an’ boh-ghosts an’ barguests an’ bogles an’ all anent them is only fit to set bairns an’ dizzy women a-belderin’. They be nowt but air-blebs. They, an’ all grims an’ signs an’ warnin’s, be all invented by parsons an’ illsome beuk-bodies an’ railway touters to skeer an’ scunner hafflin’s, an’ to get folks to do somethin’ that they don’t other incline to. It makes me ireful to think o’ them. Why, it’s them that, not content with printin’ lies on paper an’ preachin’ them out of pulpits, does want to be cuttin’ them on the tombstones".

Answers

Answer:

The way I see it "My name" is about nostalgia and the desire for freedom.

Explanation:

What she feels is the nostalgia for not having acquired the freedom she dreamed of that leads her to believe that she has inherited the same place from her great-grandmother.

And looking at her life, she sees that perhaps by her name she will have to take the same place that women in her family take, just looking out the window at the horizon.

I cannot see which words are underlined, but according to what I've read, the last sentence gives it away: 'The white man has more words to tell you how they look to him, but it does not require many words to speak the truth.' This tells me that 'Chief Joseph is going to select his words very carefully' because the truth does not require a lot of words.

La Pre promoción de 5to grado de secundaria "Jóvenes caminando hacia el éxito" han estado realizando actividades para su viaje y fiesta de promoción, logrando hasta la fecha juntar la suma de S/. 12 000. Por ello, el Presidente del comité de aula depositó el dinero recaudado en una entidad financiera que le paga el 18% semestral de interés compuesto. Calcula el monto que recibirá durante 2 años. *

Answers

Responder:

16,939

Explicación:

Dado lo siguiente:

Cantidad depositada = 12.000

Tasa de interés (r) = 18% = 0,18

Número de veces que se capitaliza el interés por unidad de tiempo = 12 meses / 6 meses = 2

Número de veces que transcurre el período = (2 * 2 años) = 4

Usando la fórmula de interés compuesto:

A = P (1 + r / n) ^ nt

A = monto final

P = depósito principal

r = tasa de interés

n = número de veces que se aplica el interés por período

t = número de veces que transcurrió el período

A = 12 000 (1 + (0,18 / 2) ^ 2 * 2

A = 12 000 * (1 + 0,09) ^ 4

A = 12 000 * (1,09) ^ 4

A = 12 000 * 1,41158161

A = 16.938,97932

A = 16,939

Answers

Answer:

Empathy, Respect, Unselfish attitude

Explanation: The existence of a socially safe environment is an integral part of social development brought about by cohesion and improved interpersonal relationship between members of a society or environment. An environment could be tagged as being socially safe if it is devoid of sour, selfish and abusive relationship among individuals of the group. These kind of environment could be achieved through individual and collective inculcation of moral values capable of fostering social relationships such as Empathy, Respect and avoidance of selfish desires.

What do you understand by  intensive pronouns?

An escalated pronoun adds accentuation to an assertion.  While English serious pronouns utilize similar structure as reflexive pronouns.

A concentrated pronoun is not the same as a reflexive pronoun since it capabilities as a word intensifying or adnominal modifier, not as a contention of an action word.

The escalated/reflexive pronouns incorporate myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves. Besides, a serious pronoun is characterized as a pronoun that finishes in "self" or "selves" and puts accentuation on its forerunner hence the correct answer is option C and D.
