How does Vonnegut use characterization and word choice to warn his readers of the potential drawbacks of a truly “equal” society? Support your claims with valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence from the text, including direct quotes and page numbers. In one paragraph and use the RACES format
This question is about “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut.
Answer and Explanation:
Although an egalitarian society is approached as the cradle of freedom and peace among citizens, Vonnegut shows that a society that is totally egalitarian would be very disadvantageous, as it would take away the personality and the ability of the citizens to react, forcing everyone to act exactly the same way, being limited to oppressing all its particularities and therefore killing freedom and creating limitations. Furthermore, an egalitarian society does not allow people to express themselves and feel emotions, as this creates differences. As a result, egalitarian society oppresses, delimits and arrests people. This conclusion can be taken from reading the book and interpreting what happens to each character, especially the main ones.

In One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, why does the Chief think McMurphy is standing in a hole? What idea does the Chief have that makes him think that?
Answer and Explanation:
The Chief thinks McMurphy is in a hole because he's stepping into the water. The Chief is in the background while McMurphy is talking to a lifeguard at the edge of the pool, but in the meantime, the height difference between the Chief and McMurphy is different, and he is the only one who is, in fact, having to tread water, which makes Chief think he's in a hole. This idea came about because at that moment chief is in greater control of his mind, allowing him to develop reflections and thoughts about what is happening around him.

Hi ! Could you help me answer the question ‘’ How has the writer used language to convey the character’s fear of the oncoming train ? ‘’ ?
I really struggle answering this type of questions..
Thank you
Answer:
Um 'my bowels turned to water' is pretty evocative. There's a ton of sensory language which ups the fear factor
Explanation:
In Passage 2, what is the point of view presented in paragraph 1? Select the detail that best supports your answer. "...I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors." "Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands." "Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could." "If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws..."
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The author explains that if their is too much power given to the husbands to the point they mistreat the woman they will rebel and stand up for themselves.
The detail that most adequately supports the use of point of view in paragraph 1 would be:
D). "If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws..."
Point of view is described as the perspective, stand, or outlook that the narrator adopts towards a specific issue, topic, or matter. In the second passage, the narrator takes up a feminist perspective and talks about the excessive authority that has been given to the men(husbands) leading them to maltreat women, and as a result, women revolt and stand up for their rights. The details like 'if...ladies,' 'foment a rebellion,' etc. reflect this perspective of the author and convey to the readers that the author is against giving this much power to the males as it eventually evokes revolution and rebellion.Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Anne frank act 2 scene 1
2. Why is it ironic that there is a band playing and there are colorful flowers during the scene (pg. 921)? answer in complete sentence
Explanation:
It is ironic because we can recall that Anne and her family were not entirely safe at that moment, soon this sudden display of happiness was short-lived, and it goes contrary to how we would expect them to have a good time. Commenting about these events going on, Anne said,
"One day we are laughing at the comical side of life in hiding, and the next day (and there are many such days), we are frightened, and the fear, tension and despair can be read on our faces."
Read the poem and answer the question
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
In Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken,” which piece of evidence best supports that the speaker was faced with a difficult decision that he had to make?
And both that morning equally lay/ in leaves no step had trodden black
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood/And sorry I could not travel both
And looked down one as far as I could/To where it bent in the undergrowth
Answer:
its B i say this because B gives a great example of making a difficult decision choosing between yet only one can be chosen and once you choose you can notgo back C just don't make sense no one is choosing anything and A says that they are equal so there for that decision would not be classified as difficult because if they are equal they both must have the same out come

Nancy is a nurse at St. John's hospital. Last night, she worked from 2:58 p.m. until 3:05 a.m. How long did she work? 11 hours, 7 minutes 11 hours, 53 minutes 12 hours, 7 minutes 1 hour, 53 minutes
Answer:
11 hours and 53 minutes
Explanation:
One way to solve this problem is by converting both times to the 24-hour format. 2:58 pm is the same as 14:58 and 3:05 am is the same as 3:05. Now we can subtract 3:05 from 14:58 and get our answer:
14 - 3 = 11
58 - 5 = 53
Nancy worked for 11 hours and 53 minutes.

Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled "Johnny Tremain," a story written by Esther Forbes in 1943.
Johnny Tremain is one of the characters in the story. He is the apprentice of Mr. Lapham, a silversmith, in his shop. Johnny's skills were astounding compared to Dusty and Dove–apprentices of Mr. Lapham as well.

4. Can you fix the blame for the calamity that befalls the child? What are the
possible meanings of the repeated phrase "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED?
This question is about "Once Upon a Time"
Answer and Explanation:
1. The blame for the calamity that happened to the child can be placed on the child's parents. That's because parents were driven by racism and irrational fear within the community. They tried so hard to protect their children that they forgot to start protecting them by explaining the dangers that the fence presented, that is, in the hope of protecting, the parents took the danger into the house and did not instruct the child to protect themselves, so we can blame them.
2. The phrase "You have been warned" means that the danger was warned, but the parents ignored it. This is because all the safety devices triggered the alarm, calling the attention of the parents, who ignored and did not pay attention to what was happening.
What question does the central or main ideas of a text answer for a reader?
How can a reader determine what the central or main idea is?
Answer:Hope This Helps Have A Nice Day/Night :)
Explanation:
(1)The main idea is the central point or thought the author wants to communicate to readers. The main idea answers the question, “What does the author want me to know about the topic?” or “What is the author teaching me?” Often the author states the main idea in a single sentence.
(2) It is easy to identify a main idea that is directly expressed in the text. Main ideas are often found at the beginning of paragraphs. The first sentence often explains the subject being discussed in the passage. Main ideas are also found in the concluding sentences of a paragraph.

Can someone edit and beef up this paragraph it’s about how Atticus advice affects scout in the book to kill a mockingbird
On the contrast, she used this advice to better understand jems reasoning.for example scout knows that jem is mad because he had to go to the Radleys house at 2am when they think that they will kill them. To support this statement “if i had gone alone to the radley place at two in the morning my funeral would have been held the next afternoon.”this shows that she is noticing jems reasoning for being mad and she understands it.
Answer:
However, Scout showed much more change than Jem did because of his mysterious hidden attitude. Scout matured from a helpless and naïve child into a much more experienced and grown-up young lady. As a growing young girl, Scout was learning and experiencing things just like any other child would though growing up.

What is one way the author increases the sense of horror and suspense in this excerpt? Cite textual evidence to explain your idea in cujo
Answer:
The author builds up suspense and horror through the way he describes and goes into great detail about how Cujo looks. By saying that his characteristics are blood coated on his fur, foaming at the mouth, and vicious-looking, you can visualize how the dog looks and how scary the situation is. The text is, " The dog's eyes settled on hers. They were red and rheumy. They were leaking some viscous substance. The dog seemed to be weeping gummy tears. His tawny coat was caked and matted with mud and— Blood. is that (it is it's blood Christ Christ)" When an author uses an impressive amount of detail into a story, you can almost completely visualize the scene happening, as if you are watching it.

I even looked up 'Danelaw king', but still nothing about Danelaw being a king. The most I saw was one Quizlet saying it was true, but that could have just been a typo for all we know.

After reading Edgar Guest's poem "The Things That Haven't Been Done Before" and "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head," Arnold made this claim about what it means to be a hero: The courage to make new discoveries and travel an uncharted path is what defines a hero. Which piece of textual evidence best supports Arnold's claim?
Answer:
B. "The things that haven’t been done before
Are the tasks worthwhile today;
Are you one of the flock that follows, or
Are you one that shall lead the way?"
Explanation:
Edgar Guest was a British American poet whose poem "The Things That Haven't Been Done Before" where the speaker delves into the things not done before and how these first-time experiences are what teaches us valuable lessons. The poem propagates the idea of never shying away from doing the things that people haven't done yet.
The claim of a hero as someone courageous enough to "make new discoveries and travel an uncharted path" is also seen in the Greek myth "Perseus and the Quest for Medusa's Head". This theme is best supported by the lines from Guest's poem-
"The things that haven’t been done before
Are the tasks worthwhile today;
Are you one of the flock that follows, or
Are you one that shall lead the way?"
If you are part of the 76% of Americans that play video games, you like video games. Video games have had an effect on society because video games can be helpful at school, Video games can help kids that need therapy, and Video games can be used to pass time for kids in hospitals who have to lay in the hospital bed for a long time.
The first video game was invented in 1958, and it was called Pong. Pong was a game where a ball would go back and forth and you controlled a paddle to make it go up and down. The point of the game was exactly like ping pong, or tennis. The goal was to get the most amount of points in a limited amount of time.
One positive thing about video games is the fact that they can be used as entertainment. Many people in the hospitality industry use video games as entertainment for people who need to stay in the hospital for a long time.
One negative thing about video games is the fact that some people play it too much, and it is affecting our brains. For many people who play too many video games, the awareness portion of the brain slows down and they pay less attention to what is happening around them.
Can someone help me write a conclusion for this?
Answer:
Overall, video games have lots of potential for the future, there are things such as virtual reality being improved every year, and recently there has been a boom in augumented reality. Video games do cause some good and bad, but the bad will decrease when we eventually learn to control how we use video games. Video games will do very good in many different businesses and will make some serious cash, but there is some competition slowly rising in the video game business. Video games are the future, and it is very noticable.

obedience and conformity. Then research and report on the Milgram experiments, including how they were conducted, the
results, the controversy, and what we can learn from them. Finally, which stages of Kohlberg's stages of moral reasoning
do the different test subjects correlate with (that is, those who kept administering the shocks, those who questioned it, and
those who refused)? Write a paper of at least one thousand words, taking care to list references of any websites, articles,

How did the different dialects that the characters use in Pygmalion affect your ability to understand and follow the dialogue? Use examples from the play in your response.
Answer:Shaw's play explores aspects of language in a variety of ways. Higgins and Pickering study linguistics and phonetics, taking note of how people from different backgrounds speak differently. In Act Three, we see the importance of proper small talk in a social situation. And the play also reveals some of the powers of language: Eliza's transformation is spurred simply by Pickering calling her by the name Miss Doolittle, while Higgins' insults and coarse language, which severely hurt Eliza's feelings, show the potential violence of language. The play is most interested, though, in the connections between a person's speech and his or her identity. As we see in the beginning of the play, Higgins can easily guess where people are from based on their accent, dialect, and use of particular slang. How different people speak the same language thus reveals a surprising amount about their identity. However, Shaw also exposes how shallow and imprecise this conception of identity is, how it doesn't actually capture or represent the full person. After all, Eliza's way of speaking transforms over the course of the play. Eliza is able to change her identity simply by learning to talk differently.
Explanation:
Answer:
The different dialects made it a bit difficult to understand and follow the dialogue. I could understand Higgins and Pickering well, but it was tough to understand what Eliza was saying sometimes. For example, consider this excerpt from the play:
THE FLOWER GIRL: Ow, eez ye-ooa san, is e? Wal, fewd dan y' de-ooty bawmz a mather should, eed now bettern to spawl a pore gel's flahrzn than ran awy atbaht pyin. Will ye-oo py me f'them?
I had to read this excerpt several times to understand what Eliza was saying. In such cases, the other characters’ responses to Eliza helped me figure out what she was saying.

Read the following paragraph from the article, "The Burden of Tobacco Use."
The harmful effects of smoking do not end with the smoker. More than 126 million nonsmoking Americans, including children and adults, are regularly exposed to secondhand smoke. Even brief exposure can be dangerous because non-smokers inhale many of the same carcinogens and toxins in cigarette smoke as smokers. Secondhand smoke exposure causes serious disease and death, including heart disease and lung cancer in nonsmoking adults and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), acute respiratory infections, ear problems, and more frequent and severe asthma attacks in children. Each year, primarily because of exposure to secondhand smoke, an estimated 3,000 nonsmoking Americans die of lung cancer, more than 35,000 die of heart disease, and about 150,000-300,000 children younger than 18 months have lower respiratory tract infections.
