What does the speaker mean by ""And ignorance is / A lost paradise"" in lines 20–21?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The line '...and ignorance is/ a lost paradise' means that as she has gained knowledge by reading, she is no more ignorant to knowledge and to her ignorance is a like a lost paradise.

Explanation:

"Blind" is a poem written by Fatima Naoot. The poem speaks about the blindness of the speaker and the surgery which she underwent. The speaker is saying that when she was blind she used to listen to people reading her books.

The speaker in the poem is also trying to speak not only about her physical blindness but blindness in terms of ignorance of knowledge or the things she learned by listening to the books.

The speaker says that she was illiterate in terms of many things and ignorant in terms of spirituality as well. By using the reference of 'Lama' in  her poetry, the speaker is hinting about her spiritual blindness and ignorance of spiritual things.

So, the speaker is refering to this spiritual ignorance a paradise that is lost. That now she is no more ignorant and has gained knowledge.

Why do you think Claudius go to great lengths to flatter Laertes?

Answers

Answer:

Because Laertes would probably defeat Hamlet in a duel.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's "Hamlet," King Claudius praises and compliments Laertes to follow his own interest, which is to get rid of Hamlet. Since he cannot kill Hamlet himself because of his love for Gertrude, he adulates Laertes by saying that he has heard that he is extremely good at fighting with a sword. Thus, he encourages Laertes to avenge his father's death so that he can finally execute Hamlet, who suspects Claudius has murdered his own brother to take the throne.

read this excerpt from gravity by judith ortiz cofer esta bien hija she caught me totally by surprise when she said in a sad which statement best describes the intended aesthetic impact of this excerpt

Answers

Answer: C.By having Elenita's mother agree to her wishes, the author turns the tables on Elenita, leaving the reader surprised.

Explanation:

Aesthetic impact refers to the impact or influence that a piece of literature makes on the sense of understanding and appreciation of the beauty and efficacy of the reader and if strong can lead them to express some form of emotion such as surprise or shock.

Elenita in the text seems to have expected a little disagreement with her mother when she made her decision but instead her mother readily agreed to her request.

This took her aback and in doing so, the author turned the tables on her which would have the aesthetic effect of leaving the reader who probably was expecting some semblance of a fight between mother and daughter, surprised.

Question:

Read this excerpt from gravity by Judith Ortiz.

She caught me totally by surprise when she said in a sad, resigned voice that I could do as I wished.

"You are old enough to stay here alone. I have to help Jorge." She left me at the kitchen table, defeated by her humble acceptance of my decision when I had hoped for a little "fig.."—one that I could have graciously finally lost—though I was firm on the matter of the pke-green taffeta dress."  

Which statement best describes the intended aesthetic impact of this excerpt?

               

A. By having Elenita's mother leave to help her husband, the author reveals her devotion to him.    

B. By having her mother acknowledge Elenita's maturity, the author 'frustrates' Elenita's desire to "pick a fight", leaving the reader amused.

C. By having Elenita's mother agree to her wishes, the author turns the tables on Elenita, leaving the reader surprised.  

D. By having Elenita's mother respond in Spanish, the author emphasizes the theme of respecting one's cultural heritage.

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Both reader and Elenita are suprised at the twist of events. The expectation was that, an argument would have ensued between Elenita and her mother over her decision.

50 POINTS How does Stevenson present Hyde as an evil character in chapter 4 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'???

Answers

Answer:

Approximately one year later, the scene opens on a maid who, sitting at her window in the wee hours of the morning, witnesses a murder take place in the street below. She sees a small, evil-looking man, whom she recognizes as Mr. Hyde, encounter a polite, aged gentleman; when the gentleman offers Hyde a greeting, Hyde suddenly turns on him with a stick, beating him to death. The police find a letter addressed to Utterson on the dead body, and they consequently summon the lawyer. He identifies the body as Sir Danvers Carew, a popular member of Parliament and one of his clients.

Utterson still has Hyde’s address, and he accompanies the police to a set of rooms located in a poor, evil-looking part of town. Utterson reflects on how odd it is that a man who lives in such squalor is the heir to Henry Jekyll’s fortune. Hyde’s villainous-looking landlady lets the men in, but the suspected murderer is not at home. The police find the murder weapon and the burned remains of Hyde’s checkbook. Upon a subsequent visit to the bank, the police inspector learns that Hyde still has an account there. The officer assumes that he need only wait for Hyde to go and withdraw money. In the days and weeks that follow, however, no sign of Hyde turns up; he has no family, no friends, and those who have seen him are unable to give accurate descriptions, differ on details, and agree only on the evil aspect of his appearance.

Utterson calls on Jekyll, whom he finds in his laboratory looking deathly ill. Jekyll feverishly claims that Hyde has left and that their relationship has ended. He also assures Utterson that the police shall never find the man. Jekyll then shows Utterson a letter and asks him what he should do with it, since he fears it could damage his reputation if he turns it over to the police. The letter is from Hyde, assuring Jekyll that he has means of escape, that Jekyll should not worry about him, and that he deems himself unworthy of Jekyll’s great generosity. Utterson asks if Hyde dictated the terms of Jekyll’s will—especially its insistence that Hyde inherit in the event of Jekyll’s -“disappearance.” Jekyll replies in the affirmative, and Utterson tells his friend that Hyde probably meant to murder him and that he has had a near escape. He takes the letter and departs.

On his way out, Utterson runs into Poole, the butler, and asks him to describe the man who delivered the letter; Poole, taken aback, claims to have no knowledge of any letters being delivered other than the usual mail. That night, over drinks, Utterson consults his trusted clerk, Mr. Guest, who is an expert on handwriting. Guest compares Hyde’s letter with some of Jekyll’s own writing and suggests that the same hand inscribed both; Hyde’s script merely leans in the opposite direction, as if for the purpose of concealment. Utterson reacts with alarm at the thought that Jekyll would forge a letter for a murderer.

Chapter 4 illustrates the extent of Hyde’s capacity for evil. Whereas we might earlier take Hyde for nothing more than an unscrupulous opportunist, manipulating Jekyll, the mindlessly vicious nature of the man becomes clear with the violent murder of Sir Danvers Carew. Hyde is violent at random, with no apparent motive, and with little concern for his own safety—as his willingness to beat a man to death in the middle of a public street demonstrates. His complete disappearance after the murder, along with his utter lack of family, friends, and people who can identify him, suggests that he possesses some kind of otherworldly origin.

In Chapter 5, as in the rest of the novel, Utterson staunchly remains the proper Victorian gentleman, despite the disturbing nature of the events that he investigates. Even as he plays the detective, his principal desire remains the avoidance of scandal rather than the discovery of truth. Thus, even when he suspects Jekyll of covering up for a murderer, he reports nothing of it to anyone, preferring to set the matter aside in the hopes of preserving his client’s reputation. Utterson’s insistence on propriety and the maintenance of appearances deeply hinders his ability to learn the truth about Jekyll and Hyde. Moreover, this insistence reflects a shortcoming in the Victorian society that the lawyer represents. Stevenson suggests that society focuses so exclusively on outward appearances and respectability that it remains blind to the fact that human beings also possess a darker side, replete with malevolent instincts and irrational passions. Society, like Utterson, cannot see that a seemingly upstanding person can also possess an evil potential hidden within.

Read this excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Akela never raised his head from his paws, but went on with the monotonous cry, "Look well!" A muffled roar came up from behind the rocks – the voice of Shere Khan crying, "The cub is mine. Give him to me. What have the Free People to do with a man's cub?" Akela never even twitched his ears: all he said was, "Look well, O Wolves! What have the Free People to do with the orders of any save the Free People? Look well!" Based on the imagery in this excerpt, which conclusion can be made about Akela? A) Akela quickly loses patience with someone as cowardly as Shere Khan. B) Akela is a ferocious fighter that will fight an enemy to the death. C) Akela has trouble keeping his control over the pack of wolves. D) Akela keeps calm in stressful situations and is not easily upset or disturbed.

Answers

The correct answer is D) Akela keeps calm in stressful situations and is not easily upset or disturbed.

Explanation:

The excerpt presents a dialogue between two characters, which are Shere Khan and Akela. In this, Shere Khan tries to scare Akela by demanding him to give Shere Kan the kid. This can be seen in "The cub is mine. Give him to me", despite this threaten Akela remains completely calmed, this can be concluded because Akila does not change his position "Akela never raised his head from his paws"; "Akela never even twitched his ears" and instead he only answers to Shere Khan with a witty answer by stating the wolves or Free People do not have anything to do with outsiders of the pack in "What have the Free People to do with the orders of any save the Free People?", and therefore they should not obey Shere Kna. Thus, this excerpt shows the calmed position of Akela in stressful situations (Option D).
