In paragraph 87, Mr. Steward returns the button unit to the Lewis home after his phone conversation with Norma. How does this action affect the Lewises? Its on commonlit!! due today!!!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. It encourages Norma to consider using the button unit.

Explanation:

The short story Button, Button by Richard Matheson revolves around the theme of how a person may do anything to get money even at the cost of someone's life. This story deals with human greed and selfish nature.

Mr. Steward had told the Lewises about the button and how it works. Once pushed, it will kill someone they don't know and don't need to know. But the upside of it was that they will get $50,000. At first, the Lewises unitedly rejected the offer and rejected it. But Norma Lewis called him the next day, which led to the return of the package. And without her husband's knowledge, she kept it in the house. She began to conjure up reasons for the offer, stating "some eccentric millionaire is playing games with people" or that it might not be as serious as they had thought it'd be. This return of the package only encourages Norma to consider pushing the button, which we know led to the death of Arthur and thus, Norma got the right amount, which is $50,000 of his life insurance.

Compare and contrast the characters of Miss Temple and Miss Scatcherd from Jane Eyre, explaining how each functions as a model for Jane. Your answer should be at least 250 words.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a story about an orphaned girl that lived with her aunt and cousins, until one day after being bullied and locked, she is sent to a religious boarding school, named Loowod Institute where she meets Helen Burns and finds her first real friend, Helen Burns. Helen dies after a brief friendship with Jane but she makes a real impact in Jane's character.

Jane Eyre is a girl that tries to blend in as a wallflower but she has a strong character, she evolves with every event in her life, she analyzes every situation that happens to her, and has a strong sense for justice due to the abuse she suffered as a child; in Loowod, Jane founds her first friend Helen Burns, even though they are the same age Helen acts as a teacher to Jane because of her advanced knowledges; Helen is a role model to Jane and even after her dead Jane manages to survive and study hard so she finally becomes a teacher and later a governess.

Helen Burns is a devoted religious girl, who dreams about finding her place in Heaven and trusts God with blind faith, she is caring, compassionate and has a developed intellectual maturity for her age.

Helen Burns acts as a foil to Jane, because her submissive character and blind faiths highlights Jane's strong character, while Helen dreams about finding her place and love in Heaven, Jane dreams about finding love and a home in this world, Helen's philosophy towards justice is that God is the only one that has the power to judge, so she turns the other cheek when girls bully her, and while Jane is amazed by Helen's attitude she is not able to adopt it.

Miss Temple is the kind and fair-minded superintendent of Lowood School, who plays an important role in the emotional development of Jane Eyre. Miss Temple is described by Helen as being "good and very clever" and "above the rest because she knows far more than they do". Miss Scatcherd appears to have some kind of vendetta against one of her pupils, Helen Burns. This is shown when she berates Helen for extremely petty reasons multiple times in one class. She later turns even worse when she canes twelve times Helen for having dirty nails and calls her a slattern, despite the fact that she could not clean them because the water was frozen.

Imagine that you have been asked to give a graduation speech. Which elements should you avoid when writing the speech?

(MULTIPLE CHOICE)
A. a strictly formal, argumentative tone
B. the graduating students' accomplishments
C. funny quotes from other students
D. unpleasant remarks about a teacher
E. simple sentence constructions

Answers

Answer:

A. a strictly formal, argumentative tone

D. unpleasant remarks about a teacher

E. simple sentence constructions

Explanation:

You definitely want to avoid D because you could absolutely get in trouble with them.

You completely want to avoid A because those who are listening to you will become bored and when speaking, this isn't a lecture/ debate contest, it's graduating speech. You're freaking graduating and you shouldn't argue about that.

For E, I don't know what to say to that, but just... avoid it.

Answer:

You should avoid D. Unpleasant remarks about a teacher.

Explanation:

In a graduation speech, you would mainly want to speak about accomplisments and good things about the school year. Unpleasant remarks about a teacher don't really fit into the "good things" category. Yes, it might be funny to the other students, but not everyone would like it if someone said that during a graduation speech.

Answers

Answer: The author uses places, people, and actions as symbolism in some phrases to make the reader understand that "Ithaka" refers to our goals in life, our final destination.

Explanation:

Ithaka is the island home of Odysseus, the hero in the poem "The Oddysey". In that poem, he parts from his home and fights Poseidon, then takes a long journey to get back to Ithaka. This is why in the "Ithaka" poem, the author uses places, people, and actions to symbolize something else. Such as in the phrase: "Unless your soul sets them up in front of you". It does not mean that his enemies will appear in front of him, but to let the thought of them get to him.

In the whole poem, the author implies that reaching Ithaka is the reader's destination, wishing that the experiences learned are more valuable than getting to Ithaka itself.

Please help me! This a hard question ( MARKING BRAINIEST!)

In the Transall saga book How does the main character Mark show resilience in the novel The Transall Saga? Give TWO examples from the story of Mark being resilient.

Be sure to describe, in detail, each situation in which Mark shows resilience and then explain why you believe this to be an example of resilience.

Answers

Answer:

Resilience is the ability to go through or endure hard and trying times usually crises or life threatening situations.

Explanation:

A person is said to be resilient when he exhibits the capacity to endure hard and trying times

Mark Harrison, the teenage character in the Transall saga, showed tremendous resilience in his bid for survival when he was transported to a strange jungle-like planet from his hiking trip on earth.

I would explain with the following examples:  

1)  When Mark Harrison found himself in an unfamiliar jungle-like environment on touching a mysterious blue light whilst hiking, he was attacked by a animal that looked like a buffalo.

His resilience came to the fore when he instinctively climbed up a tree in a bid to escape and save his life from the charging animal.

Whilst on the tree, he was bitten by scorpion-looking insects who invaded his clothes.  Again in an instinctive show of survival, he quickly removed his clothes to avoid the sting of the attacking insects. When he was ravaged by hunger and thirst, he attempted to drink rain water (which tasted funny in his mouth) and actually ate insects for food.

This is a show of resilience because had he not taken those instinctive survival steps, Mark would have been killed by the buffalo and scorpion-like insects.

2) His resilience came to bear again when a tribal community known as the Tsooks captured him from the Arrow community where he lived for awhile, and locked him up in an animal pen.

He dug himself out of the animal pen and escaped briefly from the Tsooks. In a rare display of loyalty , he went back to inform the Tsook community of an impending attack from another tribal community in the jungle village

Think about Sense and Sensibility. Setting aside the secret engagement of Edward and Lucy, the shyness and social propriety with which Edward and Elinor behave toward each other, and the dramatic events in Marianne's life that distract Elinor, there is an ever-present hindrance to the possibility of Edward and Elinor marrying: money. How do the characters perceive of the uses of money and of the problems of the lack of money? In an essay of at least 250 words, and using details from the text, discuss the novel's ongoing concern with money as it dictates matrimony

Answers

"Sense and sensitivity" was written at a time when women could not receive any inheritance from their parents and that is what most affects the events that occur in the life of Marianne Elinor.

This time is also marked by marriages formed without love between the characters, but established in how much money and goods that marriage would provide, which also creates many problems for the lives of the two sisters. That's because their father died and, although he was a wealthy man, he had to leave all the goods to their half brother, who lets them go through serious economic difficulties. Thus, both are not considered good candidates for marriage, since they would not provide any benefit to the future husband, which alienates most men.

Elinor is in love with Edward, who also loves her, but besides being committed to another woman, he was disowned by his mother and has no income or job. Besides being already engaged, he would not be able to support a home where he and Elinor could live. Marianne, on the other hand, is in love with a handsome guy who seems to have a lot of possessions, but the truth is that he also has no money and ends up marrying a wealthy woman, who can change his economic situation.

The lack of money is a very strong subject in "Sense and sensitivity", because in addition to preventing the sisters from being with the men they love, it keeps away possible suitors who could help them, leaving them so concerned with their social positions, civil status and factors related to their survival.

Frederic Chopin

Frederic Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola on March 1, 1810 and died in Paris on October 17, 1849. He was the son of a French father, Mikolaj Chopin and a cultured Polish mother. He grew up in Warsaw and took childhood music lessons from Wojciech Zywny and Jozef Eisner. He then entered the Conservatory (1826-9). By this time, he had performed in local salons and composed several pieces. His public and critical popularity increased during the years 1829-30. In those years, he gave concerts in Vienna and Warsaw. He also felt bad about his despair over the political problems in Poland. This, combined with his musical desire, led him to move to Paris in 1831. There, he got help from Kalkbrenner and Pleyel. He was also well received by Liszt and Schumann. He was introduced into the highest society and quickly made a name for himself as a private teacher and salon performer. He gave few public concerts. Even so, his playing was loved by all people. And he published much of his best music at the same time in Paris, London, and Leipzig.
