Doctor Pascal
by Emile Zola

In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.

Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.

For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.

Without the information provided by the second paragraph, the reader might draw which of these conclusions about Dr. Pascal? (5 points)


He is lingering over something written by his fianceé.
He is having an unpleasant memory from his childhood.
He is reading a necessary piece of advice from his doctor.
He is putting off going outside to perform an unpleasant task.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He is lingering over something written by his fiancee'.

Explanation:

Pascal's character was really Zola and the dealing with the morbid themes. She wants to burn all of his stuff; he wants lock his papers up so she cannot get to them. He and his niece fall in love. This would be considered an incestuous relationship.

Summarization of act 1 scene 1-3 in “As You Like It”

Answers

Answer:

Rosalind is depressed over the banishment of her father, Duke Senior. Her cousin, Celia, attempts to cheer her up. Celia promises that as the sole heir of the usurping Duke Frederick, she will give the throne to Rosalind upon his death. In gratitude, Rosalind promises to be less melancholy, and the two women wittily discuss the roles of “Fortune” and “Nature” in determining the circumstances of one’s life (I.ii.26–47). They are interrupted by the court jester, Touchstone, who mockingly tells of a knight without honor who still swore by it. Le Beau, a dapper young courtier, also arrives and intrigues them with the promise of a wrestling match featuring the phenomenal strength and skill of the wrestler Charles.

The match’s participants enter with many members of the court, including Duke Frederick, who cordially greets Rosalind and Celia. The duke remarks on the danger Charles’s young challenger faces, and he suggests that the girls attempt to dissuade the present challenger from his effort to defeat the wrestler. Rosalind and Celia agree and call to the young man, who turns out to be Orlando. Try as they might, they cannot sway him. He remains deaf to their pleas and speaks as if he has absolutely nothing to lose. Orlando and Charles wrestle, and Orlando quickly defeats his opponent. Amazed, Duke Frederick asks Orlando to reveal his identity. When Orlando responds that he is the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Bois, the duke laments that he wishes Orlando had been someone else’s son, admitting that he and Sir Rowland were enemies. Rosalind and Celia rush in to offer their congratulations, and Rosalind admits how deeply her father admired Orlando’s father. In the exchange, Orlando and Rosalind become mutually smitten, though both are too tongue-tied to confess their feelings.

Indeed, it is this very freedom that Rosalind seeks as she departs for the Forest of Ardenne: “Now go we in content, / To liberty, and not to banishment” (I.iii.131–132). By christening herself Ganymede, Rosalind underscores the liberation that awaits her in the woods. Ganymede is the name of Jove’s beautiful young male page and lover, and the name is borrowed in other works of literature and applied to beautiful young homosexuals. But while the name links Rosalind to a long tradition of homosexuals in literature, it does not necessarily confine her to an exclusively homosexual identity. To view Rosalind as a lesbian who settles for a socially sanctifying marriage with Orlando, or to view Celia as her jilted lover, is to relegate both of them to the unpleasantly restrictive quarters of contemporary sexual politics. The Forest of Ardenne is big enough to embrace both homosexual and heterosexual desires—it allows for both, for all, rather than either/or.

The past behind her, the girl looked forward to moving on to new horizons. Identify the type of phrase underlined in the sentence.

Answers

I looked this question up. The underline phrase in the sentence should be "the past behind her". The answer choices are:

1. absolute phrase

2. prepositional phrase

3. noun phrase

4. adverbial phrase

Answer:

The underlines phrase in the sentence is:

1. absolute phrase.

Explanation:

An absolute phrase has the power to modify an entire sentence. It attaches itself to the sentence with a comma, but it does not need a conjunction (but, and, because, so, etc.). Typically, an absolute phrase will consist of a noun or a pronoun plus modifiers. It is very common for the noun or pronoun to be followed by a participle. An absolute phrase is not essential for the meaning of the sentence to be conveyed. It simply adds information to it.

Take a look at the example below:

- Eyes shining with anticipation, she took a step forward.

"Eyes shining with anticipation" is an example of an absolute phrase. Notice that it modifies the entire sentence, giving further information about it.

The same happens with "the past behind her" although, in this case, the participle is implicit.

Which is the correct way to calculate the area of a circle? Read the passage, then do as requiredMost of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. Life there is simple and good. Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to death or live like 'Robinson Crusoe', waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find out. Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Island to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly located a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, water and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain- water in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat.They caught lobsters and fish every day, and , as one of them put it ' ate like kings' ! When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.Questions:1-Choose a suitable title for this passage. 2-According to the information given In the text, how the two men came to the desert island?
