Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Handicapper General's execution of the emperor and empress support the satire because:

B. It exaggerates the danger of government control.

Explanation:

The main theme of "Harrison Bergeron", a short story by Kurt Vonnegut, revolves around the danger of extreme government control. Set in a not-so-distant future, the story is about the American government's decision to force everyone to be equal. To do so, those who are more talented, beautiful, intelligent, etc. are required to wear handicaps that will make them ordinary. One day, 14-year-old Harrison Bergeron, who wears several handicaps to make him less smart and strong, escapes prison. He frees himself of his handicaps, dances with a beautiful ballerina, and gets shot by the Handicapper General. Their execution is broadcast on television.

Such an atrocious action serves as a symbol for government control, its unfairness, and how dangerous it can become. In Vonnegut's story, people are not free to be themselves: they must be what the government chooses for them. They are not allowed to be unique, special, and if they try to, they are not even allowed to stay alive.

how does each fable develop the topic of greed? mostly from the story "The dog and his reflection and "The swollen fox"

Answers

Explanation:

In the case of the fable of "The dog and its reflection"; , for not being happy with the bone he had and wishing for another bone that "seemed bigger" but was actually an illusion, the dog was left without a bone, the lesson he leaves us is that we have to be grateful and be happy with what we have.

In the case of "The swollen fox"; we can see that by wanting to eat everything quickly due to the hunger he had, he filled up very quickly and was trapped, this teaches us that we must take things slowly and if we want to be successful in whatever we do, no We must be greedy because the consequences will not be very good for us,

Finally, in the fable of the swollen fox we can also learn a lesson about patience, as the fox was trapped now he had to be patient and wait until his belly deflated to get out; In the same way, if we have difficulties or very hard trials in our lives, we must be patient, because patience helps us calmly endure difficulties and not despair; there will always be a solution for everything!

Who are some of the people, events, new technology, movies, or music that you are familiar with that are about the Cold War, that stand out to you? Why do they stand out to you?

Answers

Answer: The “space race” and the first man on the moon.

Explanation:

The one thing that always amazed me about the Cold War is how it became a great push on the development of space technology. Today it´s very clear that without the competition established between the United States and the Soviet Union during the years of the Cold War, humanity wouldn´t have developed the space travel technology that led to the first landed human on the moon as early as 1969.

The irony of such violent competition based on profound political confrontation having such a positive outcome is always the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the Cold War.

Answers

Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it. In that case, I will explain to you what is being said in this text and I hope this helps you.

The text was taken from "Hamlet" a play written by Shakespeare that shows the life of Prince Hamlet, in the search for revenge and for the murder of his father.

The text you presented is spoken by Claudius, Hamlet's uncle. Claudius is saying that Hamlet's mourning for his father's death has lasted too long. Claudius says that Hamlet has to overcome this death soon, since it is natural for parents to die before their children and maintaining a state of sadness for so long is not something masculine, that is, it is not the correct behavior for a man.

Although Hamlet does not yet know, it was Claudius who killed his father and the real reason why Claudius wants Hamlet to forget his father's death is not to be discovered as the real killer.
