The first blind man happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well!" he said, "now I know all about this beast. He is exactly like a wall."
The second felt only of the elephant's tusk. "My brother," he said, "you are mistaken. He is not at all like a wall. He is round and smooth and sharp. He is more like a spear than anything else."
The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "Both of you are wrong," he said. "Anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a snake."
The fourth reached out his arms, and grasped one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is very plain to me that he is round and tall like a tree."
The fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. "The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name," he said. "He is exactly like a huge fan."
The sixth was very blind indeed, and it was some time before he could find the elephant at all. At last he seized the animal's tail. "O foolish fellows!" he cried. "You surely have lost your senses. This elephant is not like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. But any man with a particle of sense can see that he is exactly like a rope."
Then the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, and quarreled about him. Each believed that he knew just how the animal looked; and each called the others hard names because they did not agree with him. People who have eyes sometimes act as foolishly.

Answer: The chronological structure helps the reader understand the steps involved in playing the game.
Explanation:
The chronological text structure explains a sequence of events by following the order in which those events happen, organizing the information by time or date, or as a series of steps in a list-like structure.
In this example, the chronological structure helps particularly to understand the steps involved in playing the game, not how the cards should be placed on the table. The text doesn´t have a cause-and-effect structure.
Which form of poetry is used in TS Eliot’s preludes fixed form. Closed form. Free verse. Or blank verse
Answer:
c). Free verse
Explanation:
'Free verse' is characterized as the poetic form in which the lines are divided without any particular length or meter and without having a rhyme scheme. Such a poetic form offers complete liberty of word choice to convey the intended idea or meaning to the readers. Such a poetic structure allows a greater opportunity to interpret the poem as per their experiences.
T.S. Eliot's poem 'Preludes' is written in free verse as it neither follows a specific rhyme scheme nor a particular length, meter, or pattern. All the six stanzas in the poem follow distinct patterns and have unevenness throughout. Due to this inconsistency, it falls into the category of 'Free Verse.' Thus, option c is the correct answer.

Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.

what character or characters in spunk would you consider to be the most wicked
Answer:
Joe is the most wicked character.
Explanation:
"Spunk" was written by Zora Neale Hurston and tells the story of Spunk, Joe and Lena who form a love triangle, where the two men, Joe and Spunk establish a highly competitive and violent relationship between them, to win Lena's heart.
Joe is a character highly undervalued by the entire community in which he lives. He is unmotivated, constantly compared to Spunk and everyone questions his masculinity and his ability to be successful. This inferiority, along with competition for Lena's love, causes Joe to allow a great deal of hatred and anger to grow inside him. All these negative feelings, repressed and hurting Joe, makes him the most wicked character in all of history, mainly because it stimulates horrible thoughts and dangerous behavior.

To encourage people to enter the race, organizers include the following quote:
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now." - Goethe

finally, write a short reflective paragraph that depicts how and why the allegory of your play is different from that of Everyman. While framing your response, keep in mind that Everyman was written in the medieval period and served a particular purpose.
Answer:
In the twenty-first century, moral dilemmas are more personal than in the day of Everyman. We don't think of ourselves as interacting directly with the devil or God or their obvious symbolic representatives. For these reasons, my sketch for a play is more psychological and more focused on internal conflicts. Good and evil are less black and white.

do you think Dr. sadao is not patriotic enough as he risk his own life to save an american soldier?Give reason
Answer:
As a doctor, Sadao knew that the value of human life. He risked his own life by saving the American soldiers, even if he knew that he could go to prison for hiding a prisoner of war. He cleaned the Americans wounds, fed them, and nurse him. When the American was feeling better, he gave him provisions, such as food and a boat, and helped him escape from Japan.As a Japanese citizen, he fulfilled his duty by telling the General about the American. Even though the General forgot to send his assassins, Sadao could not be blamed for the American escape. Thus we can say that Sadao carried out his responsibilities, as a doctor, and as a Japanese citizen.
