Why is the cake important in this part of the scene (Act 1)?
What things does it reveal about events that have gone on
"off stage as well as what does it reveal about the
characters?

Answers

Answer 1

This question refers to the play "The Diary of Anne Frank." In this play, we learn about a cake that Miep and Mr. Kraler have brought to the annex, where Anne and her family are hiding. The cake reads "Peace in 1944."

The cake is significant because of the way in which it reveals the hidden tensions between the characters. We learn that the characters are initially happy to receive the cake, but that conflict begins soon after. Mr. Dussel believes that Mrs. Van Daan gives her husband a larger piece, while Mr. Van Daan does not want to give Margot cake. This reveals that problems are becoming more serious in the annex, and that tensions are high. It also shows that some characters, such as Mr. Van Daan, are quite selfish and greedy.

The Big Mystery of My Future History
Marie Devers

1 When I think about my destiny, that cloudy cool mirage,
The options and the chances overlap in a collage.

3 I sometimes spend an afternoon in dreams of come what may,
A changeable amusement, better than any matinee.

5 Ambitious as I am, there is so much that I foresee,
I’m writing seven million drafts of my biography.

7 Youth is like a blindfold to the life I’ve yet to meet,
I can’t make out the future with my life so incomplete.

9 Who will be the obstacles, opposing my success?
And will they win, or will I be the most victorious?

11 I hope that I am valiant at all my hopeful chances,
And that I handle, gracefully, my unique circumstances.

13 I tell myself when thinking of this future publication,
That whims I can’t predict are arranging their formation.

15 Trophies sit un-etched in a factory someplace,
Waiting for my name to illustrate their empty space.

17 No matter how much algebra I use to see what’s next,
The equations still have missing parts, defined as only X.

19 A mosaic in development, my life’s still so unsure,
Yet bound to be exciting as any novel from the store.

21 Do you ever stop and tell yourself your living narrative?
The fabric that you’re weaving that will be the life you live.

23 I dare you now to play this game. Pick up your mental pen,
And fearlessly create the book your life is waiting in.

Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:

2)
Why does the author compare her Youth to a blindfold?
A) The author is trying to express how afraid she is of her future and its decisions.
B) The author is saying that she cannot see past her youth into her future life choices.
C) The author is lamenting how foolish, ridiculous and impulsive youthful decisions can be.
D) The author is saying that when you're young, all adults try to blind you from your future.

Describe two examples of rising action events in The Golden Touch by Nathaniel Hawthorne

the story is attached at the end if needed~~

Answers

Answer:

Midas turns the flowers of the garden into gold.

Midas' daughter is upset because the flowers are no longer beautiful.

Explanation:

The rising action in a story refers to the events that follow the exposition. During the exposition, we are first introduced to the characters of the story, as well as to background information. On the other hand, in the rising action, we see a series of incidents and events that begin to create tension in the story. These events build up emotion until they reach the climax.

The rising action of this story occurs between the moment in which Midas receives his wish and when he embraces his daughter (the climax). In this section of the story, Midas turns the flowers of the garden into gold. He believes this make them look better. However, his daughter is upset because she believes this makes them less special. This shows how Midas does not understand the important things in life, which moves the plot forward.

I had started my research on the mines with the goal of writing about the mine itself; the look and feel of the mine, and the coal it produced that helped fuel machinery and heat homes. However, in the end, my book ended up being more about the miners than the mines. Most miners endured long and hard hours of working underground, and without receiving much pay. Perhaps Marybeth Anderson said it best when she called the underground mines, “a great place to visit, but not somewhere I’d want to work” (Anderson 121).
Within the last paragraph of the author's speech, he uses the words mine and mines repeatedly. Why does the author repeat these words so frequently?
A) The author found out that most miners endured long and hard hours of working underground.
B) The author seeks to emphasize the importance of mines and their unique workplace environment.
C) The author had fond memories of the mines because he had explored them several times while growing up.
D) The author had intended for his research to be about the "mines," but was surprised to find out that the mines are nothing special without the coalminers.

Answers

Hello!

Cats yawn because they have nothing else to do.

Until doesn't really make sense, so the obvious answer is "because."

Bill arrived late for school when he overslept.

There's no way to arrive to school while sleeping, so "when" fits the best.

The cat crept forward slowly until the mouse ran into his hole.

The goal of the cat was to scare the mouse, so "until" is the best choice.

Lucy was quiet while her little sister was sleeping.

You're trying to describe what Lucy does when her sister is asleep, so "while" is the only one that makes sense.

You clean your room after you have a snack.

I don't see how having a snack would make you want to clean your room, so "after" makes the most sense. Most people eat before they clean, and "because" just doesn't work in this sentence.

I hope I helped!

Do elementary school students obtain a fair amount of homework?

Answer:

Yes, elementary school students obtain fair amount of homework. According to Time.com, the National Education Association recommends that elementary school students receive 10-20 minutes of homework per night in first grade. The amount of homework increases 10 minutes every following year, meaning in 5th grade, these students would be given 50 minutes of homework.

First Stanza
1. What image in the words “burn and rave” suggest? Why should someone “burn and rave at close of day?”
2. The word rage can mean “anger,” but it can also mean “passion”—an outpouring of feeling. How might Thomas have been using both meanings in the poem?
Second Stanza
3. Though the wise men might “know” that it is time to die, the speaker says that they still fight death because “their words had forked no lightning.” What does this mean?
4. What images do you see in this stanza?
Third Stanza
5. These good people cry “how bright their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay.” What does this mean?
6. What imagery do you see in this stanza?

8. What imagery do you see in this stanza?
Fifth Stanza
9. What images do you see in stanza 5?
Sixth Stanza
10. Why do all these men not go gently into death?
11. What role do light and darkness play in the poem?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1. "burn and rave" suggest Hell to me. Also suggest a fight for life, like getting out of a burning building: the dying or sick body or life could be likened to a burning building. Burning and raving at close of day is like saying fighting against death.

2. The dying man is angry that he's dying. He's angry that he couldn't do more in his life. He's passionate, he loves his family, his life, his son (who is writing the poem) and he's fighting for his life. the last stanza especially shows how his son is pleading with him to fight for life.

3. Their words had forked no lightning means that they hadn't made a difference really. they hadn't caused great social change like the firebrand MLK or Rachel Carson, they hadn't used their smarts to better humanity.

4. words had forked no lightning is pretty good imagery

5. If the world had been perfect they might have mattered more

6. danced in a green bay

7.   celebrated things without knowing what they truly were, not appreciated things while they had them (like youth)

"grieved it" - were sad when things ended that they weren't ready to let go.

8. wild men, caught, sang, sun in flight, grieved it on its way

9. grave men - used two ways: serious, and near death.

blinding sight

blaze like meteors

10. They are sad to leave their loved ones behind

11. they represent life and death. dying of the light = dying of the man

First Stanza

1. What image in the words “burn and rave” suggest? Why should someone “burn and rave at close of day?”

Author tries to deliver the idea that life is priceless and worth fighting for and getting old is a disease that has to be cured.

2. The word rage can mean “anger,” but it can also mean “passion”—an outpouring of feeling. How might Thomas have been using both meanings in the poem?

He hates something with the passion.

Second Stanza

3. Though the wise men might “know” that it is time to die, the speaker says that they still fight death because “their words had forked no lightning.” What does this mean?

This means that even though they know that they're eventually going to die, they don't want to until they have done something that's impacted the world in a big way, causing them to fight against death.

4. What images do you see in this stanza?

Third Stanza

5. These good people cry “how bright their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay.” What does this mean?

If the world had been perfect they might have mattered more

6. What imagery do you see in this stanza?

Danced in a green bay

Fourth Stanza

7. How might these people have “sang the sun in flight” and then “grieved” it?

celebrated things without knowing what they truly were, not appreciated things while they had them (like youth)

“grieved it" - were sad when things ended that they weren't ready to let go.

8. What imagery do you see in this stanza?

wild men, caught, sang, sun in flight, grieved it on its way

Fifth Stanza

9. What images do you see in stanza 5?

grave men - used two ways: serious, and near death.

blinding sight

blaze like meteors

Sixth Stanza

10. Why do all these men not go gently into death?

They are sad to leave their loved ones behind

A

Explanation:

Before people started living longer most of the indentured servants died before they could collect their payment or land, so the people who hired them wouldn't have to pay anything. When people started living longer their owners had to then pay for their service, so they started owning slaves instead.
