Answer:
Explanation:
The place was quiet...as quiet as it was cold. There were no fancy lights adorning the shabby little cabin, but newspapers and used cardboards sealed the cracks and holes that plagued its wooden walls. There was no laughter of merry family members sitting around a sumptuous meal celebrating the season. But in the dark and tiny kitchen stood an empty, scratch infested table that hadn't had the company of its masters since the summer that had just passed. Just beside the kitchen, in a room barely lit by a single light bulb that hung loosely from the ceiling, were two people quietly sitting on a bed. One could tell by their weary and dismal demeanour that the wintry evening wasn't the miscreant behind the murder of their joy and ardour.
"Come on now, you have to finish it all up," Prisca gently urged her son as she held a spoon in front of his lips with one hand, and with the other, a bowl of soup. Her hands were old and trembling, and the scars on her sagging rough skin, if they could, would tell tales of a life of sweat and toil.
Prisca Ralte had always been hard-working. However, after the death of her husband, whatever she had been doing before to make life a little easier, to put a little more food on the table, wasn't quite enough anymore. It became a struggle each day to feed her son and herself. She carried bricks and rendered cement; she cleaned houses and looked after children; she sold vegetables and flowers from the garden she grew behind their cabin, and found no time to mourn. Harsh times persisted and lingered, and a year after her husband's death, she could no longer keep her son in school.
The young boy of twelve started selling newspapers in the town, and occasionally, he would also sell a few v...

...s were awkwardly raised. Her mouth was slightly opened, and her eyes were dismal and confused. Perhaps she should go back inside and wait for him to come. She knew that her son had left her... but she hadn't touched him, nor had she cradled his face. Perhaps she should go inside, and it would turn out to be a bad dream...or maybe she could fool herself a little longer into believing her son was still with her. But she kept on walking...walking, until she stood beside her son. She dropped down on the ground and felt his cold, lifeless body. She held him in her arms and caressed and cradled his face.

Beatles' drummer, Richard Starkey, was born in Liverpool, England, so he is known to the world as Ringo Starr.
What is wrong with the sentence?
Answer:
"Beatles' drummer, Richard Starkey, was born in Liverpool, England, so he is known to the world as Ringo Starr", has a clear and concrete writing error. Thus, the word "so" has no reason to be in said wording, as the fact that Richard Starkey was born in Liverpool is in no way a condition for the world to know him as Ringo Starr. In other words, the word "so" as a connector within the sentence does not follow logical parameters, as it does not deal with a cause-consequence situation.

If the limelight of a movie was on a character who had one defect, the scriptwriter might have been making an allusion to _____________.
Answer:
Achilles
Explanation:
A faulty character is likely to be an allusion to Achilles. This is because Achilles was a man who was bathed in the river Styx and was left invulnerable. However, he had a flaw. His heel was not washed in the river and it became a completely fragile place. For this reason, a character in a movie who has a single flaw might allude to Achilles.
It is important to remember that allusion is a figure of speech that allows a writer to make references to things, people and places that are not part of his/her text, but which have a special meaning when added to the text.
is this passage from julius caesar, why does antony repeat the phrase he is an honorable man
He was my friend, faithful and just to me.
But Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
. . .
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.
. . .
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
. . .
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And sure he is an honourable man. (III.ii.82–96)
The reason Anthony said the word honorable so many times is because he draws powers to the word, he uses it in a sarcastic manner to show that really Brutus is not honorable in his acts.

Explanation:
How does Hamlet’s speech reflect the ideals of Renaissance humanism?
Answer:
He explores the purpose of living and places a high value on reason.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet" tells the story of how a young son/ prince avenged the death of his father on the hands of his own uncle. Claudius had not only murdered the former king but also taken his wife, Queen Gertrude to be his own wife.
The passage / speech of Hamlet is based off the scene from Act IV scene iv, when everyone had left and only Hamlet was left on the stage. He is saying that man and animals are alike, if only men does not use his reasoning and thinking capacity. Since he's been planning on how and when to do the deed, he claims that men are supposed to use their reasoning skills everyday, or that wouldn't have made them no different to the animals. This importance of reason and thinking was one of the more important issues that Renaissance humanism emphasizes, thus reflected in this scene.

Answer:

Thus, this fateful event showed me the finiteness of human life, which from one moment to the next can disappear practically without prior notice.
