Why does Hamlet not kill Claudius when he has the perfect time and opportunity?

Answers

Answer 1
it was not Hamlet nature to do so
Answer 2

Answer:

One of the reasons is because he doesn't want him to go to heaven, which is ironic because Claudius is not actually praying but becoming aware of his sin, so he would not have gone to heaven in Hamlet had killed him anyway. However, Hamlet does not actually want to kill Claudius along the play because he is not a murderer - he is a refined, well-educated prince and killing is not in his essence.

Read the beginning of Trevor’s narrative. Thinking back on that afternoon, I knew then that my best friend was keeping something from me. If I thought about it—I mean, really thought about it—there had been other signs. They may have been subtle, but they had been there, nonetheless. Trevor decides not to tell his story in chronological order. What is the most likely reason Trevor chose to begin his story in this way? to eliminate the need to include events that occurred before this statement to clarify potential confusion for the reader by clearly stating the conflict  to capture the reader’s attention by creating suspense about his best friend to explain why he no longer trusts the words and actions of his best friend

Answers

The answer should be C. hope this helps. :)

To clarify potential confusion for the reader by clearly stating the conflict  to capture the reader’s attention by creating suspense about his best friend is the most likely reason Trevor chose to begin his story in this way. Hence, option C is correct.

What is meant by creating suspense?

Four components reader empathy, reader fear, imminent danger, and building tension must be present for there to be suspense. We arouse reader empathy by giving the character a yearning, hurt, or psychological conflict that readers can identify with.

The more people can empathize, the closer they will feel to the story. Examples of suspense include: A writer builds tension by having two adolescents investigate a run-down, scary house on Halloween night.

The author raises the suspense when the kids hear a strange creaking sound coming from upstairs in the house. The quantity of information a writer provides their reader may contribute to building suspense.

Thus, option C is correct.

What do the three hyphens in the following works cited entry from “Atlantis Rediscovered” indicate?
---. Timaeus. Trans. Donald J. Zeyl. Plato: The Complete Works. Ed. John M. Cooper. Indianapolis; Hackett, 1997. 1224–91. Print.
A. that the author is anonymous
B. that the author is the same as that in the works cited entry above this one
C. that the author is the same as the editor
D. that the author is unknown

Answers

The three hyphens represent the same author as in the preceding works cited entry, which would be Plato in this case. The correct answer is option B. that the author is the same as that in the works cited entry above this one

In the context of an MLA works cited page, the three hyphens used in the works cited entry for "Atlantis Rediscovered" indicate option B, that the author of 'Timaeus' is the same as the author in the works cited entry listed directly above it. This is a common practice in bibliographic entries to avoid repetition when multiple works by the same author are listed sequentially. In this specific instance, the work above would have Plato listed as the author, and so the hyphens stand in for Plato's name in the subsequent entry.

In at least 150 words, explain how the use of specific poetic devices makes “Counting Small-boned Bodies” satirical.

Answers

Robert Bly in this poem uses very specific imagery that helps convey the satire of his meaning. The three main images he evokes are: a plain in the moonlight, a desk with "awards" on it, and a ring. All three of these images are romantic in nature, especially the plain in the moonlight. Using beautiful, celebratory imagery helps convey the satire because bodies and bones are not typically linked to peaceful or beautiful imagery. Repetition is also used to make the satire stand out, because Bly is focusing on the wish that the bodies could be smaller so that they could increase numbers. Instead of repeating a wish of higher numbers, the poem focuses on something not under anyone's control thereby making the repetition seem more out of reality by the end. This repetition combined with the imagery shows how much greedier the speaker is becoming through the poem as well. It starts by desiring a whole body to be the size of a skull--and the number of bodies could fill a plain. The second image decreases the size even more, so that a year's worth of bodies could fit on a desk. The third image makes the bodies even smaller than that, having a whole body fit inside a ring. This heightening of size decrease again just makes the sentiment more unreasonable and emphasizes the satire as the poem goes on. 

Answer:

3 imags are Highlighted Moonlight, Awards On A Desk, and A Ring. Repeating things make things stand out, but what does that have to do with bones and bodies? He uses the images of how much more people you could put on a grass plain if they were all smaller or tiner, many more. Then he goes on to use the skuell, and wanting everything to be large, the 3rd id the bodies are so tiny that millions could fit inside if the ring. All of it is fanstay and makes the peom stick out even more.

Explanation:

The active voice describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. It follows a clear subject + verb + object construct that's easy to read. In fact, sentences constructed in the active voice add impact to your writing.


With passive voice, the subject is acted upon by the verb. It makes for a murky, roundabout sentence; you can be more straightforward with active voice. As such, there are many ways to change the passive voice to the active voice in your sentences.


Over time, writing in the active voice will become second nature. Let's explore several examples of active and passive voice to keep your passive voice tendencies a thing of the past.

Sample Response: Both poems try to capture a single moment, and they describe an experience in the natural world. Both poems use the motif of flowers. The poems have very different structures, however: the haiku is only three lines long, while Wordsworth's poem is longer and uses rhyme.

Answers

Both poems are similar because they are both about nature and are also presented in a sad tone at first. 

“I wandered lonely as a cloud” is a lyrical poem and it depicts Wordsworth’s response to nature’s beauty while the haiku by Basho represents the imagery of spring day.

Their structural difference is that the haiku only has three lines with 5, 7, 5 syllables each line while “I wander lonely as a cloud” has a stanza with six lines in iambic tetrameter.

First Hamlet instructs Claudius to send a messenger to heaven to check out that Polonius is not there. (He likely isn't)If Polonius is not in heaven, there is only one other place he could be and that is in hell. There could be lots of choices. The obvious one is that Polonius is dead, and he has to be somewhere. Hamlet jokes about the death a bit. Polonius is not his favorite person. Added to that, Hamlet mistakenly believes that he has killed Clausius. Hamlet was not happy to find out that he hadn't.

To announce his death he says that there's no need to hurry, Polonius is not going anywhere. Claudius sends Hamlet to England and then informs England (the king) that he wants Hamlet dead. The plot is convoluted but the poetry is astonishing and the characterization second to none.

Read the passage. Love and Friendship by Emily Brontë Love is like the wild rose-briar, Friendship is like the holly-tree— The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms But which will bloom most constantly? The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring, Its summer blossoms scent the air; yet wait till winter comes again And who will call the wild-briar fair? What clues do these supporting details provide about the poem’s main idea? The holly-tree is more attractive than the rose-briar. Friendship is less important than love. The holly-tree and the rose-briar bloom at different times of the year. Love lasts when life is good, but friendship lasts even when life is difficult.

Answers

Love lasts when life is good, but friendship lasts even life is difficult

Answer:

Love lasts when life is good, but friendship lasts even when life is difficult.

Explanation:

The poem compares love with the wild rose-briar and friendship with holly-tree. In this comparison, the author shows how the wild rose-briar has its best moment in summer and spring that are pleasant moments where everything is beautiful and admirable, but winter is cruel to the rosebush that does not resist this adverse moment, unlike the holly-tree, which is strong and beautiful during any situation. By this, the author means that Love is fragile as the wild rose-briar, and will only last when life is good, but friendship lasts even when life is difficult.

Leper is sensitive and thoughtful, and he often reflects on the larger implications of the war and its impact on their lives as young men in America.

His reflections on American identity and the effects of war rationing are significant because they contrast with the more immediate and personal concerns of the other characters, such as Gene and Finny, who are more focused on their own interpersonal conflicts and the microcosm of their school environment. Leper's perspective provides a broader view of the historical and cultural context in which the story is set."
