Explanation:

The Tatler and The Spectator are literary journals distributed in the eighteenth century. The diaries turned out to be popular to the point that different journalists and editors imitated these two distributions.  

Joseph Addison and Richard Steele, authors of the essay series The Tatler (1709-1711) and The Spectator (1711-1712). Addison and Steele knew each from the age of thirteen, and they likewise covered at Oxford. They ran into each other again in London in the early piece of the eighteenth century; them two had political and literary aspirations.

The first stanza of Dickinson's poem illustrates the speaker's preference for a personal and nature-based form of worship over traditional church services. This indicates an unconventional approach to religious customs that values individual spirituality in a natural setting.

The first stanza of Emily Dickinson's poem, "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church," suggests that the speaker prefers to observe their religious customs in an unconventional and personal way. The lines:

imply that instead of attending a traditional church service, the speaker finds their spirituality in nature, using the bird (Bobolink) as their choir and the orchard as their place of worship. This indicates a personal and intimate approach to religious observance, emphasizing a connection with nature over formal customs.

The answer is the second one:  “doing research things you see in the piece.”

When looking at text or art, one will always “bring to the table” prior knowledge with which he or she will analyze a work.  And, strong claims are best made when the piece is understood within the context it was created.   That said, it’s good to know as much as possible about the time period things were created in and to know as much as possible about the author because it will help one more fully understand the content.  Most importantly, it helps to know about content within a work, so researching content that is foreign to you will help you in your ability in understanding the meanings of content that will shed light on the meanings and themes within a given work.  So, yes, what will help you write a better analysis when you are looking at either text or art is doing research about things you see in a piece.

Answer:

A. Images of nature

Explanation:

In Komunyakaa's "Camouflaging the Chimera" the narrator is describing what the soldiers did into the nature, he shows the scene like “We tied branches to our helmets. We painted our faces & rifles with mud from a riverbank,” on  the other hand, Kinnell's part 1 of "Vapor Trail Reflected in the Frog Pond" include in his poem imagery of the moon, a frog pond and hills, he is also portraying the nature that surrounds the soldiers.

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. images of nature.

Explanation:

We are analyzing the images described in two poems concerning Vietnam and the war, "Camouflaging the Chimera", by Komunyakaa, and "Vapor Trail Reflected in the Frog Pond", by Kinnell. In both works, we are presented with a description of nature, as if to show how peaceful it is in contrast with the war taking place, or how men are capable of using it for their own bloody purposes.

In "Camouflaging the Chimera", soldiers are camouflaging themselves using everything nature has to offer - branches, mud, bamboos. The author describes what makes the forest alive: the breeze off the river, the rock apes, the crawling chameleons. In "Vapor Trail Reflected in the Frog Pond", the frogs in the pond are described in part 1, again contrasting with what men are doing. The old frogs have puffy eyes, the young ones aren't even fully developed yet, having only the "beginnings of necks." Both poems provide readers with a description of nature living side by side with destruction and death.

Charlotte Brontë is against the nineteenth-century Evangelical movement. She reflects this through the religious characters. Mr. Brocklehurst is  a hypocrite since his family lives  at the expense of the students from Lowood  and he is also abusive with the students. He punishes students at school severly. Then, St. John Rivers does not respect Jane's real feelings. He obliges her to marry him just to fulfill his personal religious ambitions. These characters exercise power over the other characters.

c. Answer injustice with violence ( Helen bears violence herself)

d. Eliminate injustice with reform. ( Helen dies and has not started any reform).

d. The abuse of power is wrong.

Explanation:

Charlotte Bronte's gothic romantic novel "Jane Eyre" tells the story of the title character Jane who was orphaned and had to endure hardships. But in the end, through everything, she also got true love and has a happy ending.

1. Helen Burns is the friend of Jane during their days in school at Lowood. Helen personifies the image of patience and anything that represents humility. Helen never complains nor resist any form of injustice. Rather she silently endured whatever was meted to her, and she gladly accepts all. Her basic philosophy seems to be to endure injustice with patience.

2. Charlotte Bronte, through Jane, seems to reflect the philosophical assumption that the abusive power of those "superior" is wrong. this can be seen in the cases of when John tried to 'force' marry Jane. Also, the schoolmaster Mr. Brocklehurst, her aunt Mrs. Reed all show this 'power' over her and the people they deemed to be unfit for the society and 'lower' than them.

B. He is disgusted by them.

The answer is: B. he is disgusted by them.

THE ANSWER IS TO "prosecute individuals for human rights violations."

Answer:

Explanation:

1.'Praising the productivity of the individuals and being content with one's chosen occupation in life' is the dominating theme of the poem as Whitman praises the individual's work and displays joy in being productive.

2. 'All races of people are beautiful and should be considered a part of America' as Whitman felt that they all together constitute America and each plays their own part and admire their uniqueness and diversity.

3. There is no real difference in theme because Hughes' version "I, too" is inspired by Whitman's "I hear America singing". Both poems celebrate the freedom and uniqueness of individuals. Both the poems are an attempt to expel racism from America and celebrate togetherness and individuality.

Final answer:

Noda's identity as a Japanese American woman is the most difficult part for her to accept due to challenges related to ethnicity and gender.

Explanation:

The most difficult part of Noda's identity to accept is her identity as a Japanese American woman. This is because she faces challenges associated with both her ethnicity and gender. As a Japanese American, Noda may struggle with the pressure to assimilate into American society and reconcile her Japanese heritage with her American identity. Additionally, as a woman in a traditionally patriarchal society, she may grapple with societal expectations and stereotypes that limit her opportunities and agency.

Nadia's struggle to accept her Japanese American identity stems from societal expectations and historical assimilation challenges faced by Japanese Americans post-WWII, reflecting cultural changes in defining women's roles.

Nadia's identity as a Japanese American woman being the most difficult part for her to accept can be attributed to the complex experiences she faces due to societal expectations and perceptions based on her multiple identities - as a woman, person of color, foreign-born individual, and her religious affiliation.

Historically, Japanese Americans, especially the Nisei generation, struggled with prejudice and assimilation challenges post-WWII, which could also contribute to the difficulties in accepting her identity.

This is a reflection of cultural changes where women, in both Japanese and American societies, are redefining their identities and roles, leading to a balancing act in expressing their identities while navigating societal expectations.

That is false because parents can do a lot.

Answer:

1. False

2. False

3. True

4. True

Explanation:

1. It is false that parents can do very little to encourage brain development in their children. Parents can encourage brain development in several ways. They can interact with their baby and talk to him. They can also take him out so that he can become familiar with different environments. Another thing parents can do is let him explore and discover how things work on their own.

2. Brains do not properly begin to age for several decades. Moreover, the speed by which they age depends on the person and the person's lifestyle. Some parts of the brain, moreover, take a very long time to fully develop, sometimes until 35 years old.

3. Assertive technology refers to devices that are employed by people with disabilities or the elderly, either for assistance, adaptation or rehabilitation. These can help children remain in regular classes or communicate with parents and friends.

4. It is true that babies are born with some connections between brain cells. They possess several neurons as well as synapses, and these allow babies to perform the tasks that are necessary for their survival.

Answer:

The quoted lines from William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” introduces and also develops Helena’s character.

The literary device which Shakespeare has used is personification.

Explanation:

This kind of literary device is the attribution of a human characteristic or personal nature to something that is not a human or is a representation of an abstract quality in the human form. Going through the lines carefully, it is noticed how Helena’s character introduction is done. With the help of personification, the character’s nature is revealed in layers and concluded.

1.     The main argument in this essay is that if the audience does not accept the villain the poet (specifically Shakespeare here) writes, then Shakespeare will become the villain of his own play.

2.     In lines 25-44 the author is supporting the fact that the poet is completely at the mercy of his audience. Sometimes the reception by the audience has nothing to do with the play itself, it might be differences from audience to audience based on who is there and how they are feeling on that particular night.

3. Shakespeare cannot give up revenge because it is what the audience wants. The author says that “tragedy is revenge”. If he gives up revenge, he is giving up his audience and therefore his entire basis of work.

4. The author presents this information directly from the text because the structure of the lines is as important as what they are saying. Hamlet presents the images of his father and his uncle next to each other, and the meter of the lines represents that back and forth of comparison by mirroring each other. “This was your husband/Here is your husband”. The repetition with slight changes in description show the contrast better than a summary could.  

5. The author says this is a “catchy example” because Hamlet needs to adopt the same sense of grand military action towards Claudius for his revenge as Fortinbras does for what seems like nothing. Hamlet needs, like Fortinbras, to be willing to throw away everything for “an eggshell”.

6. Laertes is like the actor that played Hecuba because he is able to turn on his tears and emotions even if it contradicts what he is feeling inside. This similarity suggests that Laertes cares more about the show of things, in the same way he seems to care more about the ceremony surrounding Ophelia’s burial than her death itself, than the things themselves. It shows that he is all for show rather than sincerity.

7. These lines relate to the author’s argument because it reinforces the idea that the audience is actually in control of the play. It shows examples of lines that represent the height of the trauma and tragedy, so that the audience knows the ending is near.

8. Gertrude refers to Hamlet’s outburst as “madness” and he refers to his own outburst as “towering passion.” The differences here are in who the audience chooses to believe. If the audience follows Gertrude’s lead by thinking he is mad, they will receive the ending differently than if they trust Hamlet himself that his outbursts are an outpouring of passion.

1. The claim and the central idea in lines 1 - 24 in René Girard's Hamlet's Dull Revenge are that Hamlet is not convinced that Claudius deserves to die.  Hamlet thinks that his father may have contributed to his murder.

2. The central idea that the author supports in lines 25 - 44 is that audience reception sustains the author. Without the audience, the author lacks business.

3. Shakespeare concentrates on the issue of revenge to satisfy his audience. Similarly, Hamlet is bent on revenge to satiate his people because they know Claudius murdered his father. One can agree with the author that "tragedy is revenge."

4. The value for Girard to quote directly from Shakespeare's play in lines 86 - 104 instead of using a summary of the dialogue is to preserve originality. This originality shows in how Hamlet vividly juxtaposes his father and uncle side by side. Thus, by repeating the lines, the intended contrast is achieved.

5. Fortinbras' army remains a "catchy example for Hamlet" because Hamlet took grand military action against Claudius in his revenge like Fortinbra. It is like throwing away everything to preserve the eggshell.

6. Laertes is like Hecuba in that he uses his tears and emotions to contradict his inner feelings by overemphasizing outward appearances. After all, Laertes cares more about Ophelia's burial than her gruesome death. This similarity suggests that, like Hecuba, Laertes lacks sincerity but lives on make-believe.

7. The section from lines 137 - 148 relates to the author's argument by reinforcing that the audience controls the outcome of any literary production. The author does not just write anything they like without considering the needs of their audience.

8. The central idea that Girard infers from the reference by Gertrude to Hamlet's outburst as "madness" while his outburst is "towering passion" is to give the audience the final decision-making.

Thus, the audience must choose whom to believe and how they want the play should end. Are the audience entertained by tragedy or comedy?
