Read the passage and answer the question that follows. from Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift, "My gentleness and good behaviour had gained so far on the emperor and his court, and indeed upon the army and people in general, that I began to conceive hopes of getting my liberty in a short time. I took all possible methods to cultivate this favourable disposition. The natives came, by degrees, to be less apprehensive of any danger from me. I would sometimes lie down, and let five or six of them dance on my hand; and at last the boys and girls would venture to come and play at hide-and-seek in my hair. I had now made a good progress in understanding and speaking the language. The emperor had a mind one day to entertain me with several of the country shows, wherein they exceed all nations I have known, both for dexterity and magnificence. I was diverted with none so much as that of the rope-dancers, performed upon a slender white thread, extended about two feet, and twelve inches from the ground. Upon which I shall desire liberty, with the reader's patience, to enlarge a little."

  Based on the information in this passage, the story's events will most likely focus on

the characteristics of the society visited by the narrator
the narrator's attempts to forcibly break free from the emperor's control
the narrator's efforts to develop a good relationship with the other characters
the entertainments attended by the narrator over time

Answers

Answer 1
the narrator's efforts to develop a good relationship with the other characters

Even though he is tied up and being kept as a prisoner, the narrator still is trying to create a good relationship with the people around him. He could treat them poorly as they began treating him, but he chooses to learn to get to know their society and in turn they start becoming more and more comfortable with him as well. Because he spends so much time detailing his attempts to develop a good relationship, the reader can infer that this is what is most important to him. 
Answer 2

Answer:

the narrator's efforts to develop a good relationship with the other characters

Answers

from what ik its a literal

The correct answer is B. analytical. Reading a poem to determine sound patterns through scansion or rhyme scheme involves analyzing the structure and form of the poem to understand its linguistic and rhythmic elements.

This process goes beyond a literal interpretation of the text and delves into its deeper meaning and structure."

Here's why the other options are incorrect:

A. Literal: Literal reading involves understanding the text at face value without delving into deeper meanings or interpretations. Analyzing sound patterns through scansion or rhyme scheme requires going beyond the literal meaning of the words.

C. Symbolic: Symbolic reading involves interpreting the text for underlying symbols and meanings that represent larger concepts or ideas. While poetry often contains symbolism, analyzing sound patterns through scansion or rhyme scheme is more about the technical aspects of the language rather than symbolic interpretation.

D. Figurative: Figurative reading involves understanding language that is used metaphorically or symbolically rather than literally. Analyzing sound patterns through scansion or rhyme scheme is concerned with the literal arrangement and structure of words rather than their figurative meanings.

Federalist Papers: No. 1 General Introduction For the Independent Journal Author: Alexander Hamilton

To the People of the State of New York: This idea will add the inducements of philanthropy to those of patriotism, to heighten the solicitude which all considerate and good men must feel for the event. Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good. But this is a thing more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected. The plan offered to our deliberations affects too many particular interests, innovates upon too many local institutions, not to involve in its discussion a variety of objects foreign to its merits, and of views, passions and prejudices little favorable to the discovery of truth.

How does Hamilton respond to his own line, "Happy will it be if our choice should be directed by a judicious estimate of our true interests, unperplexed and unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good."?
A. He says that he is the only person who expects it.
B.He says that it may be a reasonable expectation.

C.He says that it may not be a reasonable expectation. 

Hamilton states that it would be wonderful if this were guided by unbiased opinions and non-personal motivations, but that that is not a realistic expectation. He says it can be wished for, but not "seriously expected". 

C. He says that it may not be a reasonable expectation. He says that even though it should be good that such ideas carried on, with full approval of the people, in reality contempt and disagreement would be the most probable reaction; his ideas are, after all, going against a whole set of thoughts and behaviors normal to the reality of American people of the time.

Lady Macbeth: "Get on your nightgown, lest occasion call us, / And show us to be watchers."

Macbeth: "Wake Duncan with thy knocking. I would thou couldst."

Lady Macbeth: "My hands are of your color, but I shame / To wear a heart so white."

Answers

The first quote:
Lady Macbeth: "Get on your nightgown, lest occasion call us, / And show us to be watchers."

Answer:

Lady Macbeth: "Get on your nightgown, lest occasion call us, / And show us to be watchers."

Explanation:

When Lady Macbeth says "Lest occasion call us", she means that they should wait for others to find out the body and then they can show up as people who just heard about it. This idea is reinforced in this sentence: "And show us to be watchers", as if they took no participation at all in the death of Duncan.

A symbol in literature is a word, image, object, event, or person that has greater meaning than its literal definition. Authors use symbols to convey ideas in a subtle way. One symbol used in the novel Frankenstein is fire. When the creature first encounters fire, he says, “'How strange, 'I thought, 'that the same cause should produce such opposite effects!'” What does fire represent throughout the novel?

Answers

Fire is an important symbol in Frankenstein for many reasons.

1. Dr Frankenstein is compared to a 'modern Prometheus': Prometheus, in Greek mythology, gave fire (which symbolized knowledge) to humans and then suffered an eternal punishment for that. Frankenstein is trying to bring his own gift of knowledge (life) to humanity but his life is also ruined through this process.

2. Fire also is something that has two sides, each that can help or hurt. Building a fire can create warmth and light, but too much of it can cause death and destruction. This is also shown through Frankenstein's creation of the monster. Think of the saying "playing with fire".
(In a more specific instance, when the monster realizes that fire can destroy he uses it as a weapon (burning the villager's cottage) )

3. Fire also represents passion and desire. Both Frankenstein and the monster possess this fire--Frankenstein for knowledge and creation, the monster for acceptance. This fuels both of their efforts through the novel. 
Final answer:

In 'Frankenstein,' fire symbolizes both knowledge and enlightenment, as well as the destructive consequences of scientific advancement, reflecting the dual nature of progress. It allows readers to explore themes deeply while being open to multiple interpretations.

Explanation:

In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, fire serves as a potent symbol that has varying interpretations throughout the story. Initially, fire represents knowledge and enlightenment for the creature, mirroring the Promethean myth of gifting fire (knowledge) to humanity. However, as the creature learns, fire also symbolizes the destructive potential of such knowledge, exemplifying the double-edged nature of discovery and progress. The creature's quote, 'How strange, that the same cause should produce such opposite effects!' encapsulates this duality of fire as a symbol for the benefits and perils of scientific advancement.

The use of symbols in literature allows writers to express complex ideas in a condensed manner, and this is especially effective for readers, as humans naturally seek to understand their world through symbols. The ability of symbols to carry multiple meanings based on their usage and the audience's view is evident with fire in Frankenstein, which allows for a rich exploration of themes such as the pursuit of knowledge, creation, destruction, and the consequences of playing God.

The echoing of this address shows that Malcolm holds the same level of respect and care for his people as his father did. He welcomes everyone into his speech--as Duncan did earlier--and makes it clear that he appreciates and respects each of them by increasing their titles. Duncan in the beginning similarly showed his appreciation to Macbeth, Banquo, and Malcolm--by giving more titles to Macbeth, jewels to Banquo, and the title of "Prince of Cumberland" to Malcolm. The way that they handle the traitor (the Thane of Cawdor first and then Macbeth at the end) also is similar.

How does the incident with Lula show that prejudice in the South was not just from whites toward black Americans? in to kill a mocking bird,

Answers

Lula showed prejudice by castigating Calpurnia for bringing Jem and Scout, who were two white children she cared for, to an African-American church. If the two children were African-American, she would have treated them differently, which is the definition of prejudice.

Answer:

The incident reveals prejudice in the sense that Lula opposed the idea of white children attending her black church. She even goes as far as stating that the whites have their own church, and so do the blacks. If Scout and Jem were African-American, perhaps Lula would have accepted them with open arms.
