Answer:
C .a summary because it gives a general overview of the story.
Explanation:
The story centers around the failure Mama feels in both her little girls and the strain that emerges when Dee compels her to settle on a troublesome decision about who gets the blankets, yet the catastrophe is undermined by Mama's energetic rhythms and particular account style.
Mother makes the language her own. For instance, she alludes to her better half cutting seats when the family proved unable exertion to purchase seats, and she depicts the milk in the beat as "crabber". Walker utilizes humor as a method for helping the story's inauspicious perceptions, for example, in the inconspicuous satire incited by Mama's response to Dee's and Hakim's hard to-articulate names. Mother in the end abandons Hakim-a-hair stylist's name and covertly addresses him as what she supposes he seems like: a hairdresser.
Which character in The Crucible is an example of a flat character?
a.Reverend John Hale
b.Mary Warren
c.Reverend Parris
d.Betty Parris
Answer:
c. Reverend Parris
Explanation:
One of the least redeemable characters in The Crucible is Reverend Parris. At the beginning of the story, we learn that Reverend Parris is a liar. He is also extremely ambitious and selfish. When the "witchcraft" begins to take place, he is only worried about how this will affect his reputation. However, Reverend Parris is considered a flat character because he does not change as the story progresses. He continues to be an equally negative character at the end of the story as he was at the beginning.
What is a Horatian ode?
(1) In New York, back in the nineteenth century, it was customary for politicians to host big events, called Beefsteaks, dedicated to the eating of beef. (2) They used the event to try to curry favor among the people and win their votes. (3) The organizers would rent an enormous hall. (4) People would sit down at long picnic tables. (5) The beef was always grilled tenderloin, brought straight from the grill. (6) In Australia they like to put shrimp on the grill. (7) The beef was then cut into small pieces and placed on a small piece of stale bread and served to the hungry guests. (8) Tradition dictated that no one ever ate the bread. (9) Rather, the bread was stacked on the table into “towers” as proof of how much beef has been consumed. (10) Also, there were no utensils allowed. (11) Everyone ate with their fingers, and washed down the beef with ale.
(12) There was debate about whether any side dishes should be served. (13) Fried or baked potatoes, pickles, lamb, and even organ meats were served by some Beefsteaks. (14) Mostly, however, people just wanted beef. (15) After all, beef, it was expensive in those days and these events were all-you-can-eat.
(16) Eventually in the twentieth century, when women could finally vote, the Beefsteak ceased to be an all-male event. (17) Later, the tradition faded away and survived only in a few union halls in Bergen and Passaic counties in northern New Jersey. (18) Today there is a Beefsteak revival in New York. (19) Not by politicians, but just by people who want to eat plenty of beef.
In context, which is the best version of the underlined portion of the sentence reprinted below?
After all, beef, it was expensive in those days and these events were all-you-can-eat.
After all the beef, those days were expensive

Explanation:
Read the excerpt below from act 1.3 of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows.
CASCA:
A common slave—you know him well by sight—
Held up his left hand, which did flame and burn
Like twenty torches joined; and yet his hand,
Not sensible of fire, remained unscorched. . . .
And there were drawn
Upon a heap a hundred ghastly women,
Transformèd with their fear, who swore they saw
Men all in fire walk up and down the streets.
And yesterday the bird of night did sit
Even at noonday upon the market-place,
Hooting and shrieking. . . .
For I believe they are portentous things
Unto the climate that they point upon.
portentous – adj. Predicting the future.
What does this passage foreshadow?
Rome will continue to prosper, and all citizens will be happy.
Rome will suffer revenge at the hand of a slave.
Rome will suffer danger and destruction.
Rome will find a renewed peace once the bird of night leaves the market-place.
Answer:
Rome will suffer danger and destruction.
Explanation:
In Act 1, Scene 3, Casca and Cicero meets on the roman Street. The weather on that night is much more terrible than any other days. In the previous scene, i.e., Act 1, scene 2, we see how Cassius and Brutus, together had conspired against Caesar, to overthrow him from being a king of the Rome. In the this Scene, we see nature portending of something terrible that's about to happen, i.e., murder of Caesar. Both Cassius and Brutus were a longtime inmates of Caesar, but when, Caesar received more praises from the citizens of Rome, the want of gaining power over-seize them. They think that Caesar is not able king, because he have weaknesses in him to be a king.
In Act 1, Scene 3, the weather of Rome gets terrible. And Casca shares his dream with Cicero that he saw, a man whose hands are in fire but his flesh is not burning. All these bad omens and natural happenings were a sign to Roman citizen of the danger and destruction that's about to take place in Rome.
"Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained, Have ruled thee well and long;" In a response of two to three sentences, explain how these lines reveal the poet's pride in England's history:
The poet begins with “Thine equal laws,” which has the connotation of respect because of how equal laws would mean justice for all. The poem continues with “by Freedom gained,” which expresses that the justice granted by equal laws was earned through freedom. It is important to note here how “Freedom” is capitalized, which expresses how much the poet values freedom—enough to spell it with a capital F. The poet concludes with “Have ruled thee well and long,” which further expresses his pride in England because of how he feels the laws gained through freedom have done a good job at governing and protecting and have done it well for quite some time.
In these lines, the author talks about England's history, and implies that he is proud of England's institutions. He tells us that the laws of England treat all people as equal (thine equal laws) and that these were acquired due to the freedom that the country has always upheld and defended (by Freedom gained). Because of these laws, the country has been governed well for a very long time (have ruled thee well and long), making him proud of its success.

Letter to a Citizen of Kentucky, an excerpt Executive Mansion, Washington, April 4, 1864. A. G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky. My Dear Sir: You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally stated the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows: I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution? By general law, life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life, but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution altogether. When, early in the war, General Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the Border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this I was not entirely confident... Yours truly, A. Lincoln In a paragraph of three to five sentences, summarize President Lincoln's meaning in the paragraph in bold. Use proper spelling and grammar. (5 points)
Final answer:
Lincoln's letter explains his approach to slavery was driven by the constitutional obligation to preserve the Union rather than his personal antislavery beliefs, leading to emancipation as a necessary measure.
Explanation:
President Abraham Lincoln's letter to A. G. Hodges articulates the complex balance he sought between his personal antislavery beliefs and his duties as President under the U.S. Constitution. He expressed that while he personally believed that slavery was wrong, his official actions were constrained by his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. Any action he took regarding emancipation or the use of black soldiers was because he deemed it necessary to preserve the Union, not simply because of his personal feelings about slavery. He anticipated that emancipation would become an indispensable necessity to save the Union and eventually made that choice. This necessity took precedence over his abstract judgment and feelings against slavery, driven by the overriding goal of preserving the nation.
Final answer:
Lincoln's letter to A.G. Hodges explains his primary objective was to preserve the Union, and while personally against slavery, he had to observe constitutional limits until extreme measures became necessary to maintain the nation.
Explanation:
President Abraham Lincoln's letter clarifies his stance on slavery and the Union. In the bold paragraph, he expresses his natural anti-slavery sentiment but acknowledges that his Presidential oath to the Constitution does not grant him the power to act solely based on his personal feelings against slavery. His paramount objective was to preserve the Union, and he believed that measures usually deemed unconstitutional could become lawful if they were necessary to save the nation. Lincoln's initial restraint regarding military emancipation and the arming of black soldiers was due to him not yet seeing it as an indispensable necessity. However, when actions such as compensated emancipation failed to prevent disunion, he felt compelled to take decisive action by utilizing the black population in the war effort to save the Union.
Which sentences in this excerpt rom mark Twain’s the danger
of lying in bed are examples of verbal irony
The student is seeking examples of verbal irony in an excerpt from Mark Twain's writings. Verbal irony is where words express a meaning opposite to their literal meaning or are used sarcastically. Twain's use of hyperbole, witticisms, and ironic dialogue would be key areas to examine for this.
The question pertains to identifying examples of verbal irony in an excerpt from Mark Twain's writing. Verbal irony occurs when a speaker says one thing but means another, and it's often used to convey sarcasm or to emphasize a point. In Twain's work, he often employs verbal irony through his use of hyperbole, vivid description, witticism, and dialogue to create contrast between the literal and intended meaning of his words. For example, if Twain were to describe a person as "a good man in the worst sense of the word," he's using irony by implying that the person is anything but good in the conventional sense. Similarly, in Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll, when a character says "I shall not die of a cough," and another replies "True-true," knowing the character's impending fate, it is an ironic statement because the truth is quite the opposite of the literal words exchanged. In order to accurately identify examples of verbal irony, it's crucial to look for instances where Twain's phrasing appears to contradict his true intended message or utilizes an exaggerated or unexpected twist of words to create a humorous or emphatic effect.
What is a Reading Role?
Tell how using a Reading Role helped you understand the book Walk Two Moons.
Plz hurry I will make you the brainiest (27 POINTS)
Answer:
The reading role, or reader´s role, has usually been considered as very passive action where the reader of a story simply takes a text and goes through it without interacting with it much, or without being moved. Thus the reader becomes just a receiver of information, instead of becoming involved with the text.
However, this has changed, and now readers must be much more active, and they not just receive information but become actively engaged in the action of the story.
In the case of "Walk Two Moons", the novel written by author Sharon Creech, and which was published in 1994, given that this is a story within a story, where the main character´s life is seen through the life of another, almost making them like parallel events, the role of the reader must be much more active because it is a book where everything must be felt, lived, and experienced with the characters, or it simply becomes two lifelines, one hidden behind the other, without getting any meaning, or understanding the main themes of the book.

It is an excerpt from Hamlet's first soliloquy in the play. The scene is Hamlet's first encounter with suicidal thoughts in which he condemns the world being weary, stale and unprofitable. But he cannot commit a suicide because religion forbids it. The remaining part of this soliloquy demonstrates Hamlet's agony because of the consequences related to his mother's fate and father's death. Therefore, the excerpt shows that the story will end tragically and it will not be a happy end.

How does Greg’s attitude toward Lemon Brown change in this excerpt?
Greg's attitude evolves from being detached to caring and introspective as he becomes deeply involved with Lyndall's care and more aware of his environment, illustrating a shift towards a more compassionate personality.
Greg's attitude towards Lemon Brown experiences a transformation as the narrative progresses. Initially, Greg is detached and possibly indifferent towards Lemon Brown and his circumstances. This is evident when he doesn't thank Em for suggesting he live with her to save on rent and look after the ostriches, indicating his lack of engagement with his environment. However, as Greg spends more time in this setting, particularly observing and caring for Lyndall, who is bedridden, his attention shifts and he becomes more introspective and caring. He becomes engrossed in his passion for Lyndall and disregards the external world, including the distractions from the outside, like the laughter of the Kaffer maids. This significant change in focus illustrates a growing sensitivity and compassionate side to his character, which replaces his earlier self-absorption and apathy.

Read this passage from "The Tell-Tale Heart": I thought the heart must burst. And now a new anxiety seized me the sound would be heard by a neighbour! The old man's hour had come! With a loud yell, I threw open the lantern and leaped into the room. He shrieked once once only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him. I then smiled gaily, to find the deed so far done. But, for many minutes, the heart beat on with a muffled sound. This, however, did not vex me; it would not be heard through the wall. At length it ceased. The old man was dead. What does Poe use to speed up the pacing and increase the tension in the passage?
Edgar Allan Poe increases pacing and tension in 'The Tell-Tale Heart' through the use of short sentences, punctuation, and repetition, creating a fast-paced, suspenseful atmosphere.
Explanation:In "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, the pacing and tension are increased through the use of short sentences, punctuation, and repetition. Short sentences contribute to a feeling of urgency and breathlessness, as if events are happening rapidly. Exclamation points and italics are used to emphasize the narrator's extreme emotion and increasing insanity, heightening the reader's anxiety and engagement. The repetition of certain phrases and sounds, like the beating of the old man's heart, creates a rhythmic and suspenseful buildup to the climax of the story.
