I am a rather elderly man. The nature of my avocations for the last thirty years has brought me into more than ordinary contact with what would seem an interesting and somewhat singular set of men, of whom as yet nothing that I know of has ever been written—I mean the law-copyists or scriveners. I have known very many of them, professionally and privately, and if I pleased, could relate divers histories, at which good-natured gentlemen might smile, and sentimental souls might weep. But I waive the biographies of all other scriveners for a few passages in the life of Bartleby, who was a scrivener of the strangest I ever saw or heard of. While of other law-copyists I might write the complete life, of Bartleby nothing of that sort can be done. I believe that no materials exist for a full and satisfactory biography of this man. It is an irreparable loss to literature. Bartleby was one of those beings of whom nothing is ascertainable, except from the original sources, and in his case those are very small. What my own astonished eyes saw of Bartleby, that is all I know of him, except, indeed, one vague report which will appear in the sequel.
Ere introducing the scrivener, as he first appeared to me, it is fit I make some mention of myself, my employees, my business, my chambers, and general surroundings; because some such description is indispensable to an adequate understanding of the chief character about to be presented.
Imprimis: I am a man who, from his youth upwards, has been filled with a profound conviction that the easiest way of life is the best. Hence, though I belong to a profession proverbially energetic and nervous, even to turbulence, at times, yet nothing of that sort have I ever suffered to invade my peace. I am one of those unambitious lawyers who never addresses a jury, or in any way draws down public applause; but in the cool tranquility of a snug retreat, do a snug business among rich men's bonds and mortgages and title-deeds. All who know me, consider me an eminently safe man. The late John Jacob Astor, a personage little given to poetic enthusiasm, had no hesitation in pronouncing my first grand point to be prudence; my next, method. I do not speak it in vanity, but simply record the fact, that I was not unemployed in my profession by the late John Jacob Astor; a name which, I admit, I love to repeat, for it hath a rounded and orbicular sound to it, and rings like unto bullion. I will freely add, that I was not insensible to the late John Jacob Astor's good opinion.
What is the narrator’s relationship to Bartleby?
A(He is Bartleby’s father.
B(He is Bartleby’s employee.
C(He has only heard of Bartleby; he does not know him.
D(He is Bartleby’s supervisor.
Answer:
D(He is Bartleby’s supervisor.
Bartleby and the narrator have a working relationship, a relationship that deteriorates as Bartleby withdraws and refuses to participate in life. For a while, the narrator feels responsible for Bartleby, but eventually those feeling become feelings of repulsion. The narrator tries his best to be compassionate and help Bartleby, but Bartleby seems not to care..... he has chosen his path and sticks to it. The compassion of others is not embraced.

Answer:
In ancient and modern times, stealing and making false accusations are both against the law. However, the punishments then and now are very different. Modern law in the United States would never put someone to death for such small crimes. Also, ancient societies did not enforce a law equally for all people. How a law was enforced had to do with the person’s status in the society. In the United States, everyone is equal in the eyes of the law.

Through wind turbulence, excessive cooling, and heating, high-rise structures harm the thermal environment of their surroundings. According to Architecture 2030, buildings are responsible for almost 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).
What are the disadvantages of skyscrapers?The main drawback of skyscrapers is how they have a tendency to dominate cities. With their omnipresence, they frequently isolate people instead of fostering surface-level interaction. People interact in cities, and skyscrapers don't do much to promote that interaction.
This misconception is debunked by a recent study that examined whether increasing building density and height is the best strategy for sustainability. We discovered that low-rise environments with dense construction are more carbon and space efficient than high-rise structures.

How did the French Revolution lead to the Haitian Revolution?
How did the American Revolution lead to the French Revolution?
How was the French Revolution a “revolution” in that it brought about radical change?
Answer:
The French Revolution influenced many subsequent revolutions, including the Haitian Revolution, because it represented the desire for structural change within society and governance and inspired others to equally desire freedom. It raised questions about the rights naturally granted to humankind and the extent to which liberty must coexist with any form of governance. The French Revolution was characterised by the overdue necessity of change... this necessity did not only apply to the French populace but also to Haiti. Thus, its success served as an inspirational event for future calls to change, progress, and liberty.

What is Siddhartha Gautama known for?The founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama, sometimes referred to as "the Buddha," lived in the fifth century B.C. As a prince, Gautama was born into a prosperous family in modern-day Nepal. According to Buddhist legend, he was born to royal Shakya clan parents in Lumbini, present-day Nepal, but abandoned his home life to live as a travelling ascetic (Sanskrit: ramaa).
In what is now India, at Bodh Gaya, he reached enlightenment after living a life of begging, penance, and meditation. After that, the Buddha travelled the lower Indo-Gangetic Plain, giving lectures and establishing monastic orders. He advocated for a middle path that avoids extreme asceticism while still allowing for sensuous enjoyment, ultimately to Nirvana, or the escape from ignorance, yearning, reincarnation, and sorrow.

imperialism?
5 point
President Theodore Roosevelt
Someone associated with jingoism or aggressive nationalism.
Someone who reads Rudyard Kipling's poem "White Man's Burden" and agrees with it.
Queen Liliuokalani
Answer: Queen Liliuokalani
Explanation:
Imperialism refers to the use of military force or otherwise to increase the influence and control a country wields on other countries. It was a very dominant policy in the 18th century amongst Western powers like Britain and France.
Queen Liliuokalani would most likely disagree with Imperialism because she lost her kingdom to it. Queen Liliuokalani was the last monarch of the independent Hawaiian Kingdom until she was deposed in a coup by mostly Americans and Europeans and then this was enforced by US Marines. Hawaii was formally annexed a couple of years afterward.
Had it not been for imperialism, Queen Liliuokalani would have remained queen so she would probably disagree with the policy.
