Answer:
It means that firefighters have the ability to hide the freedom and individuality of themselves and the population.
Explanation:
This question is about the book "Fahrenheit 451". In this book, firefighters are charged with burning any book that is found with any citizen. This is because this book takes place in a society where books are prohibited by a government that wants to completely dominate all factors of freedom, knowledge and individuality in society.
For this reason, we can say that the statement that firefighters are the "custodians of [society's] peace of mind, the focus of [the] understandable and rightful dread of being inferior," means that they have the ability to promote intransparence in relation to the sense of freedom and individuality.

Since the publication of the first novel of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga in 2005, millions of readers
all over the world, the majority of whom are teenage girls and women, have fallen for the love story of
Bella and Edward. Furthered by the release of the movie adaptations of the first three volumes in
2009 and 2010, critics have started to wonder about the foundation of Twilight-mania, especially
concerning the basic theme of the story, namely the vampire myth, which, throughout its literary
history, is rather a reflection of "adolescent male fantasy" (Twitchell, Living 6). Still, the indisputably
kitsny story of an inconspicuous teenager who falls in love with the vampire next door fascinates
today's emancipated and independent females and thus can be regarded as an essential part of the
success. It would seem that the attraction derives from Meyer's unique interweaving of different
generic elements, a strategy which can be found in other late 20th- and 21st-century popular
literature. Thus, for instance, the "Harry Potter books have been received with manic enthusiasm"
because they, too, "uniquely combine several kinds of appeal" (O'Keefe 176), such as the mixture of
public school story and fantasy. In the Twilight Saga, we find a similar amalgamation of various
different literary genres - fantasy fiction for young adults, vampire story, gothic romance, and
Arthurian legend. It is a medley, a generic crossing that is - not least due to its focus on an active
young heroine - bound to entice a primarily female readership.
Through an analysis of the figure of the vampire in literature as well as in folklore it will be observed
to what extent Edward differs from the folkloric blood-sucking revenant and also from the master of all
literary vampires, Dracula. Furthermore, it will be investigated how his knightly behaviour towards
Bella contributes to the impression of a romantic transformation of the gothic form. Special attention
will also be paid to the figure of Bella, who, on the one hand seems to be presented as the femme
fragile or damsel in distress concerning her physicality, but, on the other hand, represents a figure of
identification for female readers as the independent, strong-willed hero of young adult fiction. The
analysis seeks to prove that the combination of these various aspects of different genres and
traditions allows Meyer to create a new kind of vampire love story.

Answer:
The repetition of "for a second" is done to emphasize how quickly Conor's sensations and emotions (which lasted for a second) were felt.
Explanation:
In "A monster calls" we are presented with the following paragraph:"Conor frowned, and for a second the whole room seemed to get darker, for a second it felt like the whole house was shaking, for a second it felt like he could reach down and tear the whole floor right out of the dark and loamy earth."
In this paragraph we can see the use of the figure of speech called Anaphor, which allows a word, or a group of words, to be repeated to emphasize some message that the author wishes to convey. In this paragraph we can see the repetition of "for a second", which was done to emphasize the speed with which Conor felt emotions and sensations.

'A doctrine of consideration for others, similar to the golden rule, was taught by Confucius as the basis for all social and political conduct.' written in active voice
Answer:
'Confucius taught a doctrine of consideration for others, similar to the golden rule as the basis for all social and political conduct.'
Explanation:
The given sentence is written in the passive voice because the subject 'Confucius' is not performing the action(taught) stated by the verb but rather receives it and the object and verb are being emphasized and shown interest in.
It can be converted into the active voice by substituting the subject to its original position and removing 'by.' This will help emphasize the subject in the sentence where it(the subject) is directly performing the action. Thus, the final sentence will follow the structure of 'subject(Confucius) + verb(taught) + object('a doctrine...conduct'). Therefore, the final sentence in the active voice reads as:
'Confucius taught a doctrine of consideration for others, similar to the golden rule as the basis for all social and political conduct.'

Read the excerpt from “The Black Cat."
For the most wild, yet most homely narrative
which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor
solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it,
in a case where my very senses reject their own
evidence. Yet, mad am I not—and very surely do
I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day !
would unburthen my soul. My immediate purpose
is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly,
and without comment, a series of mere
household events. In their consequences, these
events have terrifiedhave tortured-have
destroyed me.
Which details support the idea that the first point of view creates as sense of suspense about what is to come in the story
Answer:
The details that create the sense of suspense about what is to come in the story are the narrator's reactions and his words "these events have terrifiedhave tortured-have destroyed me."
Explanation:
As we can see, as soon as the lines begin, the narrator begins to warn people that he is neither crazy nor dreaming. He is describing certain events that, according to him, have been traumatizing and have destroyed him.
Our position as readers is to wait for something that will generate suspense or fear, because the author is definitely not going to describe a pleasant scene.
Those are the clues we have to deduce the details of what is to come in the story.

The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best
could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.
You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not
suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat. At length
I would be avenged; this was a point definitely settled-but
the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded
the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with
impunity.* A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes
its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails
to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had 1
given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as
was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive
that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.**

What is the primary focus of the image?
What colors are emphasized in the image, and how do they contribute to the subject? What details are absent from the image?
What do the details in the image convey about the subject?
What is the overall mood of the image?
And about the picture just search up "Earthrise."
1. The main focus is to provide a view of the earth as if it were rising, like the sun.
2. Black and blue are the colors that most contribute to the subject. Blue representing the earth and black representing unanimity and how unique this planet is.
3. The details can convey a lot about the subject, depending on the interpretation of house one. A subject that can be transmitted is how we are alone in the middle of the immensity of the universe, we can also perceive the beauty of our planet, in addition to its fragility.
4. The image has a diminishing atmosphere. Decrease in ourselves. That's because we want to believe that we are big and absolute, but we are just a beautiful planet helpless in space.
Question:
What details are absent from the image?
Answer:
A detail I feel is missing is stars, the stars would allow for the background to express itself more. Showing that space is truly a beautiful and mysterious.
