Write a story which ends as follows: It was then that I understood what sort of a man he was

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There lived once in Baghdad a very wealthy man, who lost all his substance and became so poor, that he could only earn his living by excessive labor. One night, he lay down to sleep, dejected and sick at heart, and saw in a dream one who said to him, "Thy fortune is at Cairo; go thither and seek it."

So he set out for Cairo; but, when he arrived there, night overtook him and he lay down to sleep in a mosque. Presently, as fate would have it, a company of thieves entered the mosque and made their way thence into an adjoining house; but the people of the house, being aroused by the noise, awoke and cried out; whereupon the chief of the police came to their aid with his officers. The robbers made off; but the police entered the mosque and finding the man from Baghdad asleep there, laid hold of him and beat him with palm-rods, till he was well-nigh dead.

Then they cast him into prison, where he abode three days, after which the chief of the police sent for him and said to him, "Whence art thou?"

"From Baghdad," answered he.

"And what brought thee to Cairo?" asked the magistrate.

Quoth the Baghdadi, "I saw in a dream one who said to me, 'Thy fortune is at Cairo; go thither to it.' But when I came hither, the fortune that he promised me proved to be the beating I had of thee.

The chief of the police laughed, till he showed his jaw teeth, and said, "O man of little wit, thrice have I seen in a dream one who said to me, 'There is in Baghdad a house of such a fashion and situate so-and-so, in the garden whereof is a fountain and thereunder a great sum of money buried. Go thither and take it.' Yet I went not; but thou, of thy little wit, hast journeyed from place to place, on the faith of a dream, which was but an illusion of sleep."

Then he gave him money, saying, "This is to help thee back to thy native land."

Now the house he had described was the man's own house in Baghdad; so the latter returned thither, and digging underneath the fountain in his garden, discovered a great treasure; and [thus] God gave him abundant fortune.

Why does the speaker disagree with native burial customs?
a) The speaker believes that death is an eternal sleep.
b) The speaker believes people should not be buried with every day objects.
c) The speaker believes Native Americans will rest well in the afterlife.
d) The speaker believes that death should not be joyful.

Answers

Answer:

a) The speaker believes that death is an eternal sleep.

Explanation:

Philip Morin Freneau's poem "The Indian Burying Ground" is about the speaker's recent visit to a burial ground of the Native Americans. This imaginative analysis of such burying grounds and contrasts it with the more 'decent' burial of the 'civilized' Europeans.

In the poem, the speaker reveals his opinion about burying the dead, "I still my old opinion keep; the posture that we give the dead, points out the soul's eternal sleep". And contrary to this, he reveals how the native tribes bury their dead, "seated with his friends, and shares again the joyous feast." He also points out his belief of the very nature of burial of the Indians, "activity, that knows no rest."

Thus, to the speaker, death is an eternal sleep.

Answer:

The speaker believes that death is an eternal sleep.

In the passage, Roosevelt refers to the Axis powers as "gangsters." Explain the
connotations, or ideas and feelings, associated with that word. What central idea
about the attack on Pearl Harbor do the word gangsters and other inflammatory
language in the passage help convey?

Answers

Answer:

The word GANGSTER as used in the passage gives a NEGATIVE connotation and could be inferred to mean the word ENEMY.

Explanation:

CONNOTATION simply means the perception of idea which a word gives when used or uttered as deduced from it's literal meaning.

The literal or primary meaning of the word gangster is a criminal, immoral and violent individual. This meaning resonates negativity and hence a negative CONNOTATION.

The use of the word GANGSTER and other inflammatory words such as TREACHEROUS is used to invoke the American people to see the Japanese as their enemy and prepare to hit back.

Therefore,

•The word GANGSTER gives a negative CONNOTATION and implies enemy.

• Inflammatory language used help convey a message to hit back.

1. The word "gangster" refers to a group of vicious criminals who usually operate in an organized manner.

The word Axis Powers here refers to the coalition of Germany, Italy, and Japan. So, because the attack was jointly carried out by this group of states, President Roosevelt in an attempt to brand them accordingly used the word "gangsters".

2. The general context and language of the speech in the passage underscores the criminality of the actions of the Axis Powers.

In the context in which President Roosevelt used this word, he was referring to the above-named coalition. His speech was a call to all countries of the world to bear the United States of America witness against the actions of the Axis Powers and in a way, to absolve the United States of America from the consequences of any retaliatory actions that she was prepared to carry out against the Japanese.

History shows that the US's retaliation was devastating and lasted generations afterward.

Roosevelt was not only incensed about the attack on America but delivered the above speech using words such as gangster to connote that their actions were criminal and unpopular. One could say that his objective was to ensure that listeners would become sympathetically inflamed as well.

The central idea of Roosevelt's delivery, therefore, is that no country has the right to deny other states the entitlement to live in harmony with its neighbors and that to attack a neighbor was a criminal action.

Answers

Answer:

"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald in which the main character, Gatsby, develops the theme of man vs. self. This type of conflict takes place inside the character, so to speak, concerning his struggles with his feelings, decisions, and doubts. With Gatsby, the struggle lies in what he truly is and what he wishes to be. Gatsby lies to the world about his money and his business, but he cannot lie to himself. Thus, he is constantly wearing a metaphorical mask, constantly struggling with his own self-worth. In his desperation to be accepted, the mask falls. When accused by another character of being a criminal, Gatsby can no longer contain himself. If he did not care, perhaps the consequences wouldn't be so terrible. But he cares, a lot. Inside, Gatsby is still insecure - and that is what costs him everything he ever dreamed.

Explanation:

Take the answer above as an example. If you do not wish to write about "The Great Gatsby," feel free to choose a different character and literary work and use the answer as a template.

Conflicts, in literature, are the struggle between two opposing forces. There are external conflicts, such as character vs. character, or character vs. nature. There are also internal conflicts, such as character vs. self, which is the one we must develop in this answer.

Write a two to three-sentence summary of the short story “The Medicine Bag”. Then, write about what lesson about discussion Martin could learn from his experience with his grandfather

Answers

Answer:

Martin’s great grandfather came to visit martin and his family, but the rosebud reservation, his great grandmother's home and martins home is about 3 days away by bus. Since he's 83 he of course passes out from fatigue after reaching martins home. But luckily he wakes up. Martin’s friends came to his house to see his great grandfather. Martin thought they were going to make fun of him because of his great grandfathers appearance. Both martin and his friends were amazed. Martin received the medicine bag from his great grandfather after his great grandfather handed the bag to martin he went to bed. He was taken to the hospital that night and died two weeks later. Martin’s predecessors had placed their own sacred possessions in the medicine bag. After the death of martin's grandfather he returns to the rosebud reservation and carries on the tradition. So basically the medicine bag is about a boy called martin that his ancestors are Native Americans. He used to tell untrue stories about his grand pa which he knew from the TV or movies and his friends believed him and thought that his grand pa is amazing but when his grand pa visited them he was so embarrasses of him because he didn't look like the way he told his friends about. He was very short and had grey hair and he was old two. but when martin's friends visited him to see his grand pa he was so ashamed and he thought that his friends will make fun of him and his grand pa but instead they loved his grand pa and thought that he is amazing and martin was so sad because he was embarrassed of his grand pa, so now he loves his grand pa and says that he is amazing.

He learned that he must not be embarrassed of his cultures or traditions. Before the grand pa died he gave him the medicine bag.
