Answer:
You are learning about Shakespeare's plays and how you can learn from them. This play is really great because it has the following: dark magic, absolute power corrupts, loyal is good, but being power-hungry is bad,
Explanation:
There is a lot of blood and gore, lots of conflict, and has some humor. There are witches, floating daggers, forests that walk, and even beheadings. The lust for power can be the catalyst that allows him to murder the King. Someone trying to have way too much power can be the defeat of that same person.
Hunger stole upon me so slowly that at first I was not aware of what hunger really meant. Hunger had always been more or less at my elbow when I played, but now I began to wake up at night to find hunger standing at my bedside, staring at me gauntly. The hunger I had known before this had been no grim, hostile stranger; it had been a normal hunger that had made me beg constantly for bread, and when I ate a crust or two I was satisfied. But this new hunger baffled me, scared me, and made me angry and insistent. Whenever I begged for food now my mother would pour me a cup of tea which would still the clamor in my stomach for a moment or two; but a little later I would feel hunger nudging my ribs, twisting my empty guts till they ache. I would grow dizzy and my vision would dim. I became less active in my play, and for the first time in my life I had to pause and think of what was happening to me. Which best describes why Wright includes this anecdote
Answer:
He includes this anecdote to show how his experiences with poverty and hunger were influential in creating the person he became.
Explanation:
The excerpt presented above is part of the book “Hunger” written by Richard Wright, where he tells his own experiences as a poor black youth in Chicago. The poverty in which Wright lived was so intense, that he needed to show how he and his family came to have nothing to eat, making him sick with hunger, as we can see in the excerpt above. This moment was very influential and impactful in Wright's life. Even as the family's financial situation changed, Wright can remember how that moment was able to shape his life, build his personality, and influence the creation of the adult he grew up with. For that reason, he decided to feature this moment in the book.

In at least one hundred words, discuss how Borges's "The Garden of Forking Paths" is an example of the magical
realism genre prominent in Latin American literature.
Answer:
Magical realism combines nonfiction or realistic fiction with magical events that could not happen in real life. "The Garden of Forking Paths" is an example of this genre because it combines historic events with events that are not possible. An example of an impossible event is when the narrator goes to Dr. Albert's house and Dr. Albert had created a garden identical to a garden made by one of the narrator's ancestors.
Which statement best explains the simile in this
excerpt?
Answer: Please put the question
Explanation:
So no explanation
Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children. It's inevitable. There are so many decisions to be made in any given day, week, month, or year. It's an inhuman task to make all of these decisions correctly. Who would even want to try for perfection?
We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life. Life is full of mistakes, obstacles, and trouble. Shielding our children from these by striving for perfection in our own parenting does them no favors.
Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may. Admittedly, that attitude is not without its benefits, but it goes too far in the other direction. Children are much more observant than we think, but often draw the wrong conclusions from what they observe. If we give up trying to make the right decisions, they might get the message that we don't care about their future.
We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to do our best, to make the right decisions whenever possible. It just means that we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. Either it won't matter because it's something small, or it just might build some character in our children, a commodity that will serve them well.
"Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children"?

Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Bronte (excerpt)
In the following excerpt the narrator, Jane Eyre, describes an interaction with her nursemaid, Bessie.
Bessie asked if I would have a book: the word book acted as a transient stimulus, and I begged her to fetch Gulliver's Travels from the library. This
book I had again and again perused with delight. I considered it a narrative of facts, and discovered in it a vein of interest deeper than what I found in
fairy tales: for as to the elves, having sought them in vain among foxglove leaves and bells, under mushrooms and beneath the ground-ivy mantling
old wall-nooks, I had at length made up my mind to the sad truth, that they were all gone out of England to some savage country where the woods
were wilder and thicker, and the population more scant; whereas, Lilliput and Brobdignag being in my creed, solid parts of the earth's surface,
doubted not that I might one day, by taking a long voyage, see with my own eyes the little fields, houses, and trees, the diminutive people, the tiny
cows, sheep, and birds of the one realm; and the corn-fields forest-high, the mighty mastiffs, the monster cats, the tower-like men and women of the
other. Yet, when this cherished volume was now placed in my hand-when I turned over its leaves, and sought in its marvellous pictures the charm
had, till now, never failed to find-all was eerie and dreary, the giants were gaunt goblins, the plgmies malevolent and fearful imps, Gulliver a most
desolate wanderer in most dread and dangerous regions. I closed the book, which I dared no longer peruse, and put it on the table, beside the
untasted tart.

Answer:
The author develops the narrator's character through the historical context, portraying the narrator as a person who reads novels as entertainment. A detail consistent with this historical period.
Explanation:
"Jane Eyre" is a book written by Charllotte Bronte and tells the story of How Jane Eyre managed to overcome all her difficulties through study, intelligence and perseverance. Although the book does not determine what period of time this story takes place, it is possible to determine that this story takes place during the late Georgian period and the Victorian period. At that time, people didn't have access to internet and television like we have. The most common forms of entertainment during this period were reading and traveling. As we can see in reading the excerpt shown in the question above, Jane uses reading as entertainment since childhood, which was normal for the society in which she lived.

Which evaluation of her essay is most accurate?
Write an essay that explains how the foreshadowing in "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W.
Jacobs creates tension, suspense, or both. Your essay will have an introduction
paragraph, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph. The ideas in your
essay must be linked by transitions.
Make sure you show a good understanding of what foreshadowing, tension, and
suspense mean. Also make sure you can pick out examples of these elements in
"The Monkey's Paw" so that you can support your essay's claim with evidence.
Your essay should include the following elements:
• A claim about how the foreshadowing in W. W. Jacobs's story creates tension or
suspense
• An introduction paragraph, at least two body paragraphs, and a conclusion
paragraph
• Evidence from the story that supports your claim
• Transitions that link words and ideas
Answer:
In ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ the author W.W.Jacobs begins the story by setting the scene and the atmosphere by describing the area in which the White’s live. Jacobs describes the night as cold and wet, while inside the house the blinds are drawn and the fire is burning brightly. This is a good contrast, as the house seems to have a warm and safe atmosphere inside, even though the cottage is situated in a remote area of the country, with extremely unpleasant and harsh weather. Before the Sergeant-Major arrives, the atmosphere of the house seems quite tense and dull. Jacobs shows how tense Mr. White is when he writes “Bawled Mr. White, with sudden and unlooked-for violence”. You can easily see that Mr. White doesn’t seem to be concentrating on his game of chess. As ‘The Monkey’s Paw’ was written over a century ago, Jacobs doesn’t use explicit gory details to create horror like modern scary films and books. Instead, he uses subtle hints in most aspects of the story to build up an element of terror and one of these aspects is the way that Jacobs uses setting. The setting of part I begins with a cliché common to most gothic horror stories. “The night was cold and wet but in the small parlour of a Laburnum villa…” The wet and cold atmosphere has an unpleasant effect on the reader as it makes them immediately feel uneasy about the situation. Cold and wet as a combination are both largely used clichés to set the scene of a story, similar to ‘To Build a Fire’, by Jack London, which did however have a more intense description of the setting which was successfully suspenseful and eerie. The pathetic fallacy at the very beginning conveys the idea that the story will contain dark or evil connotations. The use of the word, ‘but’ has been purposely selected to show there is more to the situation, implying that it is liable to a twist. The first paragraph has a great ambience of normality across it; this had been done to allow the reader to empathize with the characters, as it has been set in a fairly common area. However, by setting it in a commonplace, such as a home – Jacobs is defying the orthodox Gothic Horror genre setting. Most stories or novels which follow the rules of this genre are set in deserted places or a more enchanted/fictional region.
In addition, the transition between each part of the story shows large changes in mood. After Herbert retires for the night, the second part begins, which has a very customary, “prosaic” mood to it. The contrast of mood between the start of part II and the end of part I is very large and keeps the reader alert. The huge amount of tension built when Herbert gazes into the fire is dropped instantaneously, keeping the interest of the reader. The following day, the mood is very calm and relaxed, the reader may feel as if the mood were too normal, and become suspicious, waiting for some action to occur. Following the Gothic Horror genre, there is a cliché that sunlight has a large impact on the mood of a story, as everything seems more controlled and calm during the day.
Answer:
The author is able to create tension and suspense through many ways in “The Monkey's Paw”. In the opening sentence of the story, we are given a quick description of the surrounding area. In gothic stories, they are usually set in a remote and isolated area, as in “The Monkey's Paw” the main setting is in a remote village where there were only two houses around. “Without, the night was cold and wet,” sets the scene of the story. A gloomy background has been given to set the surrounding area. The weather is similar to the feelings of the main characters.This is a good contrast, as the house seems to have a warm and safe atmosphere inside, even though the cottage is situated in a remote area of the country, with extremely unpleasant and harsh weather. The setting of part I begins with a common to most gothic horror stories. “The night was cold and wet but in the small parlor of a Laburnum villa…” The wet and cold atmosphere has an unpleasant effect on the reader as it makes them immediately feel uneasy about the situation. The use of the word, ‘but’ is used purposely to show there is more to the situation, implying that there might be a twist. The first paragraph has a great mood of routine across it, and this has been done to allow the reader to empathize with the characters, as it has been set in a fairly common area.
In addition, the transition between each part of the story shows large changes in mood. After Herbert retires for the night, the second part begins, which has a very usual, “dull” mood to it. The contrast of mood between the start of part II and the end of part I is very large and keeps the reader alert. The huge amount of tension built when Herbert gazes into the fire is dropped instantly, keeping the interest of the reader. The following day, the mood is very calm and relaxed, the reader may feel as if the mood were too normal, and become suspicious, waiting for some action to occur. Following the Gothic Horror genre, it is common that sunlight has a large impact on the mood of a story, as everything seems more controlled and calm during the day.

What is tense?In grammar, tense exists a variety that represents time reference. Tenses exist usually manifested by the usage of distinct forms of verbs, especially in their conjugation patterns. The primary tenses discovered in many languages contain the past, present, and future.
Tense, in grammar, is a verbal classification describing the time of a narrated event to the duration of the speech event. In many languages, the concept of time exists represented not by the verb but by other parts of speech (temporal adverbials or even nouns, for example).
A verb exists as the action or condition of being in a sentence. Verbs can be expressed in various tenses, depending on when the action exists being performed.
Option A exists as the correct answer because ‘was’ stands in the past tense of is, and is accurate because the statement stands in the past tense.
Hence,I was reading while she (option a) .was sleeping.

Ahaha me I'm just playing my instruments like guitar during quarantine×_× mello ×_×Which character or characters from the metamorphosis most clearly represent societys abandonmnet of gregor
Answer:
A. The three boarders.
Explanation:
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" is an allegorical story of a young man's transformation into a bug, rendering him useless and helpless, and eventually dies. This story deals with themes of isolation, aloofness, responsibility, alienation, pressure, etc.
In the short story, the major characters are the residents of the house where Gregor and his family live. His father, mother, and sister constitute the primary characters to Gregor Samsa's main character. Added to that are the three boarders that his mother took in to get extra money after Gregor became an insect and can't work anymore. They represent the intolerant attitude of society, a representation of the outside world.
The three bearded gentlemen seemed repulsed and detest Gregor when they saw he was an insect. Stating that they loved cleanliness, they mostly took their meals inside their room and even invited Grete Samsa to play the violin inside their room "where it is, after all, much more cozy and comfortable[?]"
Their reaction and behavior towards the Samsa family not only showed their callousness, but they also demanded that they will move out and not pay rent after spotting Gregor.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Stating that "7,000 people watched the night Frankie Nelson set her 18-hour record" most develops the central idea that the introduction of the bicycle brought with it many changes. indoor track racing was more popular than outdoor racing. female cyclists were more competitive than male cyclists. bicycle racing was a popular sport in the 1880s and 1890s.
Answer:
The statement most develops the central idea that:
D. bicycle racing was a popular sport in the 1880s and 1890s.
Explanation:
American author Sue Macy (born 1954) published "Wheels of Change" in 2011. The book focuses on how bicycles served as an instrument for women to break rules and challenge societal standards and expectations in the past.
The quote we are analyzing here was taken from Chapter 4 of the book. The paragraph as a whole states that indoor racing was popular and that women were very interest in seeing other women race. However, our focus in on this particular sentence:
"7,000 people watched the night Frankie Nelson set her 18-hour record."
The sentence above develops the idea that bicycle racing was a popular sport in the 1880s and 1890s. Seven thousand people is a lot, even for today's standards. That number shows the popularity of the sport. Since the sentence does not include information concerning who was racing or watching the race, nor where the race was taking place, we can safely choose letter D as the best option.
