Why does Odysseus choose to go on Scylla's side of the strait? Answer in complete sentences.

Answers

In Book XII of Homer's The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men are leaving the land of Circe and she advises them on where to go next. She tells them that they will run into Scylla or Charydbis. She told Odysseus that while Scylla would eat 6 of his men, the ship and the remaining men would be safe to continue their journey. On the other hand, if he sailed near Charydbis, it would swallow the whole ship and eat all men. It was a clear decision to make because it was preferable to lose only part of his crew than everyone.

"Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings: My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man that function Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is But what is not." This excerpt reveals Macbeth's _____.

Answers

I believe the correct answer is: inner conflict.

 

In this quote from William Shakespeare’s drama “Macbeth” is reveled Macbeth’s inner conflict, even before the first murder of the play takes place. This shows the beginning of the Macbeth’s wrestling with his conscience. He finds that the wicked thoughts he has are almost worse than the actual deeds ('Present fears / Are less than horrible imaginings'), and becomes more concerned with what might happen rather than reality ('nothing is, but what is not').

If Randy Pausch, the author of Last Lecture, had written a speech about receiving his cancer diagnosis and what he did following the diagnosis, which organizational structure would he most likely have used?

Answers

Answer:

Chronological

Explanation:

A chronological structure is one that presents a series of events in the same order in which they happened. A chronological structure is very useful when a text needs to maintain a certain progression in order to be logical and cohesive. In this example, if the author wrote about his cancer diagnosis, and the actions that he took afterwards, the order of these events would be very important, which means that he would most likely benefit from a chronological structure.

Discuss two ways in which dramatic tension is built during the trial in to kill a mocking bird

Answers

The main way dramatic tension is built is the clues that Boo gives, making him interesting, but it can also be frightening.
Also, the incidents that pop up in the story also builds up dramatic tension.

Given a trial scene, which is often distressing, this is the scene that everyone has been anticipating. The testimony given at the crime site was unsettling and nerve-wracking.

What are the two ways that built the dramatic tension?

When it comes to the trial scene, the majority of it is suspenseful, and it is the scene that people have been waiting for for a long time.

The atmosphere is tense and suspenseful as the crime scene testimony is given. It's difficult to keep the suspenseful vibe going when the trail goes on for a long time.

It's tough to sustain an unknown condition when the trip is long. After all, Tom is going to testify from Hell on Tate and Mayella.

In one paragraph, analyze the following quote: "A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves."

Answers

This paragraph refers to the amount of overprotection present in modern parents. Many parents are so worried about the idea that their child may end up injured in some fashion that they are not willing to let their children romp and play as a child should. Parents will bend over backward to ensure that their children remain safe throughout their life, but this intense bubble wrapping prevents them from learning about the dangers of living through personal experiences. Many parents also force their children to take part in activities the child is not particularly fond of because the parent never got to do it themselves. A parent may force their child to play the violin because they want their child to become a great violinist not because the child wants to do it.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question:

But I must say for Burton, he's a heap broader-minded than lots of these Southerners. He's really awfully fond of colored people. Well, he says himself, he wouldn't have white servants. And you know, he had this old colored nurse, this regular old mammy, and he just simply loves her. Why, every time he goes home, he goes out in the kitchen to see her. He does, really, to this day. All he says is, he says he hasn't got a word to say against colored people as long as they keep their place. He's always doing things for them, giving them clothes and I don't know what all. The only thing he says, he says he wouldn't sit down at the table with one for a million dollars.

What does this excerpt from "Arrangement in Black and White" imply about Burton's feelings toward African Americans?

-He thinks they are inept servants.
-He views them as inferior to himself.
-He appreciates them as human beings.
-He harbors no negative feelings toward them.

Answers

He harbors no negative feeling towards them yet views them as inferior to himself

Answer: B) He views them as inferior to himself.

Explanation:

Saying Burton is fond of colored people becomes ironic after a few lines being read. He does have some consideration and feeling for the motherly figure of mammy, he does think colored people are good servants. However, they must "keep their place". They should not think themselves worthy of sitting at the same table as Burton which, by the way, he wouldn't do, not even for a million dollars. Thus, we can see how such "fondness" is limited by prejudice, by the belief that a colored person's place is beneath his own.

He remained ambivalent, believing in more-efficient weapons to keep the peace: "All neutral countries should give a guarantee to an arbitrating court regarding the execution of its judgment—even including, if necessary, the use of force. Let us admit that anything at all is better than war. All borders would remain untouched, and a declaration should be made that any and every aggressor would have all of Europe against him." What is another way to say, "All borders would remain untouched,” in modern language?

Answers

all borders would stay the same

Answer:

All borders would stay the same

Explanation:

The most natural way to rephrase the statement using modern language is by saying that all borders would stay the same. In this excerpt, the speaker tells us that he believes anything is better than war, and that he wants to pursue this path. He believes that in order to ensure this is the case, all countries should work together. This would help them ensure that all borders stay the same and that aggressors are unable to find allies in Europe.

excerpt from "My Aunt Gold Teeth" by V.S. Naipaul

Ramprasad died early next morning and we had the announcement on the radio after the local news at one o'clock. Ramprasad's death was the only one announced and so, although it came between commercials, it made some impression. We buried him that afternoon in Mucurapo Cemetry.

As soon as we got back my grandmother said, "I have always said it, and I will say it again: I don't like these Christian things. Ramprasad would have got better if only you, Gold Teeth, had listened to me and not gone running after these Christian things."

Gold Teeth sobbed her assent; and her body squabbered and shook as she confessed the whole story of her trafficking with Christianity. We listened in astonishment and shame. We didn't know that a good Hindu, and a member of our family, could sink so low. Gold Teeth beat her breast and pulled ineffectually at her long hair and begged to be forgiven.

"It is all my fault," she cried. "My own fault, Ma. I fell in a moment of weakness. Then I just couldn't stop."

My grandmother's shame turned to pity. "It's all right, Gold Teeth. Perhaps it was this you needed to bring you back to your senses."

That evening Gold Teeth ritually destroyed every reminder of Christianity in the house.

"You have only yourself to blame," my grandmother said, "if you have no children now to look after you."

The Fall of the House of Usher
By Edgar Allan Poe

Shaking off what must have been a dream, I scanned more narrowly the real aspect of the building. Its principal feature seemed to be that of an excessive antiquity. The discoloration of ages had been great. Minute fungi overspread the whole exterior, hanging in a fine tangled web-work from the eaves. Yet all this was apart from any extraordinary dilapidation. No portion of the masonry had fallen; and there appeared to be a wild inconsistency between its still perfect adaptation of parts, and the crumbling condition of the individual stones. In this there was much that reminded me of the specious totality of old wood-work which has rotted for long years in some neglected vault, with no disturbance from the breath of the external air. Beyond this indication of extensive decay, however, the fabric gave little token of instability. Perhaps the eye of a scrutinizing observer might have discovered a barely perceptible fissure, which, extending from the roof of the building in front, made its way down the wall in a zigzag direction, until it became lost in the sullen waters of the tarn.

Roderick Usher's poem
By Edgar Allan Poe

I.In the greenest of our valleys,
By good angels tenanted,
Once a fair and stately palace—
Radiant palace—reared its head.
In the monarch Thought's dominion—
It stood there!
Never seraph spread a pinion
Over fabric half so fair.

II.Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On its roof did float and flow;
(This—all this—was in the olden
Time long ago);
And every gentle air that dallied,
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid,
A winged odor went away.
...
V.And, round about his home, the glory
That blushed and bloomed
Is but a dim-remembered story
Of the old time entombed.
VI.And travellers now within that valley,
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms that move fantastically
To a discordant melody;
While, like a rapid ghastly river,
Through the pale door,
A hideous throng rush out forever,
And laugh—but smile no more.

What is a key difference between these pieces of literature?

Answers

One describes a house, while the other describes a palace.

Answer:

One describes a house while the other describes a palace.

Explanation:

In The Fall of the House of Usher, the story starts with the anonymous storyteller touching base at the place of his companion, Roderick Usher, having gotten a letter from him in an inaccessible piece of the nation grumbling of a disease and requesting his assistance. As he arrives, the storyteller takes note of a slim break reaching out starting from the roof, the front of the structure and into the neighboring lake.  

Poe joined The Haunted Palace into his story The Fall of the House of Usher, and it's implied as a statement of the rot of Roderick Usher's family and the family home. One marvels, notwithstanding, on the off chance that it could fit simply into different accounts of Poe. The vast majority of his section appears to be less to pass on explicit implications and more to make a general state of mind of loathsomeness. There additionally is an accentuation on sheer stable, the sort of melodic excellence Poe sees as a graceful perfect and which identifies with Roderick Usher's character too.

What happens to daisy at the end of the great gatsby?

Final answer:

Daisy Buchanan's fate at the end of 'The Great Gatsby' is a subject of literary debate. She is seen as either an innocent victim of her culture or a participant in her own downfall, ultimately choosing her comfortable life over moral responsibility.

Explanation:

At the end of 'The Great Gatsby', Daisy Buchanan remains a complex and controversial character. Many readers and scholars debate whether Daisy Miller is simply an innocent caught up in events beyond her control or whether she is a more calculating figure who is partly responsible for her own fate and the tragedy that unfolds. Daisy's actions throughout the novel suggest that she is a product of a cynical, hypocritical culture that values wealth and status above genuine emotion and moral integrity. By the end of the novel, she retreats back into her privileged world, leaving others to deal with the consequences of her own actions, including the death of Jay Gatsby who was deeply in love with her. This has led to various interpretations about whether Daisy is a victim of her societal constraints or whether she actively chooses her own self-interest over moral rightness.
