Who do you think has more to lose in this situation? Randy: a Soc, he has money, his Dad is mad. Ponyboy: a Greaser, poor, has only his brothers. Explain why you chose Randy or Ponyboy.

Answers

Answer 1

Hello. You have not shown the situation to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Randy and Ponnyboy are characters from the book "The Outsiders" that tells the story of how boys from a city get involved in situations of high rivalry and violence between street gangs.

Among these two boys, we can mention Randy and Ponnyboy who are members of different gangs and have high rivalry. Although you did not present the situation to which the question refers, we can consider that in a capitalist and intolerant society, as it is in America where the book takes place, Randy has more to lose, because even though his father is a madman, he still has some financial support, which Ponnyboy does not. This financial support, allows Randy to have access to money, which can supply all his needs. Ponnyboy has nothing to lose but his brothers, but Randy has a lot of valuable things that, if lost, will greatly damage his life.

How does the text describe Polyphemus? How does he treat his guests, and how does this contrast with the treatment Odysseus received from King Alcinous?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The text describes Polyphemus as a giant, one-eyed, wild, violent and man-eater. Polyphemus is a Cyclops and does not treat guests kindly, but devours them in the most violent way possible. This contrasts it with the way Odysseus and the men who accompany him are treated by King Alcinous. That's because Alcinous is impressed with Odysseus and treats him in the best possible way, offering him dinner, riches and even the hand of his own daughter.

This question is about the book "The Odyssey" which shows Odysseus' attempts to return to Itaca, his birthplace.

Passage: "The Ambitious Guest" by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne lived and wrote in the puritanical culture of 19th century New England. In the decade after he completed college, he spent most of his time in solitude writing his early short stories and a novel. When he was unable to support himself by writing, he tried several careers, but continued to write novels and short stories. Although he visited England and Italy, his best-known stories describe the gloom and loneliness of life in New England. He died in 1864.

One September night a family had gathered round their hearth, and piled it high with the driftwood of mountain streams, the dry cones of the pine, and the splintered ruins of great trees that had come crashing down the precipice. Up the chimney roared the fire, and brightened the room with its broad blaze. The faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; the eldest daughter was the image of Happiness at seventeen; and the aged grandmother, who sat knitting in the warmest place, was the image of Happiness grown old. They had found the "herb, heart's-ease," in the bleakest spot of all New England. This family was situated in the Notch of the White Hills, where the wind was sharp throughout the year, and pitilessly cold in the winter, —giving their cottage all its fresh inclemency before it descended on the valley of the Saco. They dwelt in a cold spot and a dangerous one; for a mountain towered above their heads, so steep, that the stones would often rumble down its sides and startle them at midnight.

The daughter had just uttered some simple jest that filled them all with mirth, when the wind came through the Notch and seemed to pause before their cottage—rattling the door, with a sound of wailing and lamentation, before it passed into the valley.

The family were glad again when they perceived that the latch was lifted by some traveller, whose footsteps had been unheard amid the dreary blast which heralded his approach, and wailed as he was entering, and went moaning away from the door.

The door was opened by a young man. His face at first wore the melancholy expression, almost despondency, of one who travels a wild and bleak road, at nightfall and alone, but soon brightened up when he saw the kindly warmth of his reception. He felt his heart spring forward to meet them all, from the old woman, who wiped a chair with her apron, to the little child that held out its arms to him. One glance and smile laced the stranger on a footing of innocent familiarity with the eldest daughter.

"Ah, this fire is the right thing!" cried he; "especially when there is such a pleasant circle round it. I am quite benumbed; for the Notch is just like the pipe of a great pair of bellows; it has blown a terrible blast in my face all the way from Bartlett."

Answers

Answer:

C. This family was situated in the Notch . . . .

Explanation:

It can be inferrred from the text that the example that shows the influence that living in New England had on Hawthorne's writing is:
"This family was situated in the Notch..." (Option C).

I'll send somebody 60 dollars if they can write me an essay about the "landlady by Roald Dahl" LOOK IN THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU START WRITING!!

Answers

Essay is right here:

“The Landlady” is a short story by the lauded children’s author, Roald Dahl. Dahl is the author of many great, well-known works, such as The BFG, The Witches, Matilda, and perhaps most notably, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. “The Landlady” is a short story that truly exemplifies Dahl’s wonderful grasp of the short story genre, however. It is the story of a young man named Billy Weaver, who has been sent to live in Bath by his employer. The primary focus of young Billy at the beginning of the story is Billy’s attempt to find lodgings; he settles on a nice bed and breakfast near the train station. The landlady of Billy’s new lodgings is a nice, older woman, who seems grandmotherly to Billy, although there is something strange about the place that Billy cannot seem to grasp, and the landlady herself seems to be a little crazy. Billy suddenly realizes that he knows the names of the other guests in the guestbook; they are all men who have gone missing. At the end of the story, the landlady poisons Billy with potassium cyanide in his tea, with the implication that she is planning on stuffing him and keeping him as part of the house forever.
One of the major themes of Dahl’s “The Landlady” is the theme of how appearances can be deceiving. The story begins with Billy himself considering how he can appear to be a successful businessman; at the beginning of the story, Dahl writes of Billy: “He walked briskly down the street. He was trying to do everything briskly these days. Briskness, he had decided, was the one common characteristic of all successful businessmen. The big shots up at the head office were absolutely fantastically brisk all the time. They were amazing” (Dahl). Billy wants to appear to be a successful businessman, and his appearance is very important to him. However, the importance of appearances-- and the deceptive quality of appearances-- continues as a theme throughout the story. Initially, the landlady herself describes one of the older men as being twenty-eight, but not appearing to be so. These appearances are very important to the landlady herself, who turns out to be a serial killer, killing all the young men who stay in her house. The landlady only invites young, handsome men to stay, and she seems to have a preference for a certain type, which again refers to the theme of appearances and how important they are to the characters in the story. Dahl even describes the animals in the story as appearing to be alive, although they have all been stuffed:
“That parrot,” he said at last. “You know something? It had me completely fooled when I first saw it through the window. I could have sworn it was alive.”

“Alas, no longer.”
“It’s most terribly clever the way it’s been done,” he said. “It doesn’t look in the least bit dead. Who did it?”

“I did.”
“You did?”
“Of course,” she said. (Dahl)
This exchange is very important, because it is the first time that Billy begins to get a sense of just how ominous the landlady really is; although she appears to be a nice, harmless old lady, she is quite adept at the art of taxidermy, and is completely willing to stuff her pets as they pass away. She even seems willing to keep them posed as if they were still alive. This is the not the first instance of foreshadowing in the text, but it does reflect the growing tension in the story, and also finally gives the reader a sense that the landlady is, indeed, more than she seems to be. The landlady is initially described as a cheerful older woman, and it is this appearance that makes her eventual murder of Billy so masterfully creepy. The theme of deception and appearances also ties into the theme of naivete and youth; the landlady is able to lull Billy and her previous victims into a sense of false security. Indeed, Billy is young and strong, and if the landlady had attacked him, he would have been able to defend himself easily. However, he falls right into her trap as a result of her kindly demeanor, even though she clearly has anything but his best intentions at heart. Billy’s character is naive because he can see that the landlady is clearly not altogether sane; he even comments on her oddity at the beginning of the story. However, he still takes the tea from her, and finishes an entire cup even though he doesn’t like the tea and it tastes “faintly of bitter almonds” (Dahl). Even to the end of the story, Billy can’t place the names of the other boys who the landlady killed; he thinks he may be able to, but he allows the landlady’s demeanor to put him off what his instincts are telling him. The audience feels the inexorable movement towards Billy’s inevitable death, and it is frustrating and enthralling at the same time.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

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.

what is the outcome when twain tries to persuade different wild and tame animals to accumulate vast stores of food (line 52-64)? what purpose do the examples serve

Answers

Answer:

The outcome when Mark Twain tries to persuade different wild and tame animals to accumulate vast stores of food was that they did not do it.

This example shows us of never ending hunger of humans to store more than necessary.

Explanation:

The Lowest Animal is a paper written by Mark Twain of his fictional experiment done with animals.

In lines 52-64, Twain asserts that he tried to persuade animals, both wild and tame, to accumulate vast stores of food line. But he remarks that no one stored food more than they required. Even the bees collected only what was required for them for winters.

This experiment is suggestive of human's nature of greed and hunger for more. Through this experiment, Twain is conveying the message that humans are the animals that comes at the lowest animals and not the other way around.

1. A charge of -80 µC is placed on the x axis at x = 0. A second charge of +50 µC is placed on the x axis at x = 0.5 m. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on a third charge of 4.0 µC placed on the x axis at x = 0.3 m?

Answers

Answer:

77 N

Explanation:

1st charge ( q1 ) = -80µC placed on x-axis at x = 0

second charge( q2) +50µC placed at x = 0.5 m

3rd charge(q3) 4.0µC placed at x = 0.3 m

Determine the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the third charge

calculate distance btw : 1st charge and 3rd charge = 0.3 m ( r1 )

distance btw : 2nd charge and 3rd charge = 0.5 - 0.3 = 0.2 m ( r2 )

hence the magnitude of electrostatic force on third charge

F = [  Kq1q3 / ( r1 )^2 ]  +  [ Kq2q3 / ( r2)^2 ]  ------ ( 1 )

where K = 9 * 10^9  N.m^2/c^2

Insert given values into equation 1

∴ F = 77.0N

Respected all,

A very good morning to all of you. First of all I would like to thank our Principal madam for giving us this opportunity to organize this event. I would also like to thank our teachers and staff for constantly supporting us and encouraging us.

Today I am going to speak a few words on the topic that is a huge concern to our community. I stay in the suburb of Park Street, where there are two small firms that manufacture goods. The management of the firms dump the waste and other hazardous materials near our place. It is a matter of concern and I am afraid that it leads to a number of disease that our locality has witnessed in recent times in the young children of the society.

The authorities are also silent about the matter. The local of our residence has raised this issue to the authorities but everything is in vain.  

The dump yard is much polluted and lots of stray dogs and others birds come to that place and is spreading germs and disease to all over the places. So I along with some of my friends have decided to address this issue to the Mayor our city and would plead to take some strict action against them for polluting our beautiful locality and spreading disease.

With this I conclude my speech and thank you all once again.
