excerpt from “Solitude” by Henry David Thoreau This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night, and the note of the whippoorwill is borne on the rippling wind from over the water. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface. Though it is now dark, the wind still blows and roars in the wood, the waves still dash, and some creatures lull the rest with their notes. The repose is never complete. The wildest animals do not repose, but seek their prey now; the fox, and skunk, and rabbit, now roam the fields and woods without fear. They are Nature’s watchmen, —links which connect the days of animated life. . . . Some of my pleasantest hours were during the long rain storms in the spring or fall, which confined me to the house for the afternoon as well as the forenoon, soothed by their ceaseless roar and pelting; when an early twilight ushered in a long evening in which many thoughts had time to take root and unfold themselves. . . . Men frequently say to me, “I should think you would feel lonesome down there, and want to be nearer to folks, rainy and snowy days and nights especially.” I am tempted to reply to such,—This whole earth which we inhabit is but a point in space. How far apart, think you, dwell the two most distant inhabitants of yonder star, the breadth of whose disk cannot be appreciated by our instruments? Why should I feel lonely? Is not our planet in the Milky Way? This which you put seems to me not to be the most important question. What sort of space is that which separates a man from his fellows and makes him solitary? I have found that no exertion of the legs can bring two minds much nearer to one another. Which sentence best expresses the author’s viewpoint about nature in "Solitude"? A Nature is filled with excitement and adventure. B Nature is filled with unknowable mysteries. C Nature is beautiful, calming, and inspiring. D Nature is dangerous yet attractive. PLZ HELP ME I ONLY HAVE 45 MINUTES

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C). Nature is beautiful, calming, and inspiring.

Explanation:

Thoreau's "Solitude" primarily throws light upon the idea of 'solitude or isolation' actually being an opportunity where one can experience self-communion and contemplation/introspection.'

In this excerpt, Thoreau discusses a 'delicious evening' which he spent in the lap of nature, 'a part of herself.' He considers the nature to be 'beautiful, soothing, and inspiring' as reflected by the descriptions 'elements are unusually congenial to me', 'bullfrogs usher in the night...water', 'pleasantest hours', 'ssothed by seaseless roar', 'twililight usher..', 'tempted' , etc. reflect that how he is in union with the every bit of nature and thus, questions 'why should I feel lonely.' This justifies the above deduction and hence, option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Though her clothes generally represent Ree’s lineage and her often-unwanted duties to it, it Ree’s coat—inherited from her grandmother—also shields her from the harsh weather as she toils. Ree’s expertise at chopping wood shows that she’s had to do her father’s abandoned work many times Ree’s aversion to interaction with law enforcement of any kind is inherited from witnessing her family’s many run-ins with the authorities. Dollys are taught from an early age to deeply distrust the local law enforcement, and have devised deliberate tricks, procedures, and codes meant to keep Dolly men and women out of the way of the law. Baskin especially is a familiar and loathed figure, and his presence on Dolly land is anything but welcome. At the same time, though he’s a reviled figure in this community, he’s still a well-known and integral part of it. Ree’s dutiful shielding of her mother from the world at large is on display here—Baskin is forced to accept that Ree is the primary caregiver in her family, and capable of hearing whatever it is he has to tell the family. The shocking revelation that Jessup sold out his family and his property as bond form the narrative engine of the novel, and launch Ree entirely into adulthood. Whatever illusions she maintained about the ruthlessness of the world her family inhabits are shattered by Baskin’s news. Ree’s assuring Baskin that she will be able to turn her father up when the authorities have been unsuccessful demonstrates her fiercely independent nature, and her allegiance to protecting her family and their shared secrets.

The front yard is a place people can see from the streets. The girl wants to do her own thing and follow her own rules. It also demonstrates the irony and relationship between the wealthy and the poor. The young speaker also shows how adolescence includes ignorance by desiring to go against her mother and play in the back yard. It also gives a fascinating glimpse into the mind of an innocent, sheltered young girl who becomes enamored of the "bad" kids and who wants to experience a side of life from which her mother would protect her.

Answer:

"Buck had killed man, the noblest game of all, and he had killed in the face of the law of club and fang." Buck realises that he had done something wrong he had broken the law of club and fang. He learns that he only has to follow the law if he has a reason to (arrows and spears and clubs). "They had died so easily. It was harder to kill a husky dog than them.  They were no match at all, were it not for their arrows and spears and clubs. Thenceforward he would be unafraid of them except when they bore in their hands their arrows, spears, and clubs." this conferms that Buck is now unafraid of man and only follows the law of club and fang if he has a reason to.

Answer:

In this excerpt one of the things that Buck learned is that without clubs and whips humans are not that scary. He also learned that he does not have chose to go by the law of club and fang because he just broke it. He had killed a man easily. What Buck had learned from this experience was that humans are one of the easiest things to kill. Buck thought that, “It was harder to kill a husky dog than them”. (London 64)

What is the theme of "Marigolds" by Eugenia Collier?
With 3 pieces of EVIDENCE

Answers

Answer:

"Childhood doesn't last forever"

Explanation:

The theme of the story Marigolds is "Childhood doesn't last forever". I decided this was the theme because when she pulls out the marigolds it represents how she is not a child anymore. When she sees her father crying, she realizes that adults fail and feels extreme disappointment. In tormenting Miss Lottie and ripping up what she tried to create, Lizabeth expresses some of her own internalized rage. However, as she looks at Miss Lottie, she suddenly feels ashamed, realizing she has victimized not an "other" or a "witch" but a real human being like herself. Instead of wanting to continue to express wrath at her, she feels compassion for this older woman.

edit:

here is the text evidence:

"The child in me sulked and said it was all in

fun, but the woman in me flinched at the thought of the

malicious attack that I had led. " "I had indeed lost my mind, for all the

smoldering emotions of that summer swelled in me

and burst—the great need for my mother who was

never there, the hopelessness of our poverty and

degradation, the bewilderment of being neither child

nor woman and yet both at once, the fear unleashed

by my father’s tears. And these feelings combined in

one great impulse toward destruction." " The years have put words to the things I knew in that moment, and as I look back upon it, I

know that that moment marked the end of innocence."

which of the following best describes a central idea of the text? Is there a cheaters high

Answers

Answer:

B. Feelings of joy after acting unethically may be a motivation factor in cheating, stealing, deception, etc.

Explanation:

'Is There a 'Cheater's High'?' is an article written by Romeo Vitelli, Ph.D. In his article he tries to examine the fact what makes people, like Frank Abagnale, cheat without feelings of remorse or guilt about the act.

The central idea that the author develops throughout the text is that new research of the 'cheater's high' suggests that people can actually feel positive after committing unethical acts instead of guilt/shame/remorse as previously studied. According to researcher Nicole Ruedy, emotions are vital in acting ethically or unethically.

Thus the correct statement that develops the central idea of the text is option B.

if the scores from an intelligence test follow a normal bell curve, one would expect to see the majority of the scores to fall __________. A. in the middle B. at the low end C. at the high end D. all over the place

Answers

A is the right answer

If the scores from an intelligence test follow a normal bell curve, one would expect to see the majority of the scores fall in the middle. Hence, option A is correct.

Why majority of scores fall in the middle?

If the scores from an intelligence test follow a normal bell curve, also known as a normal distribution, it means that most scores will cluster around the average or mean score, which is represented by the highest point on the curve.

This is typically located in the middle of the distribution. As the curve moves away from the mean in either direction, fewer and fewer scores are observed. So, while there will be some scores at the low and high ends of the distribution, the majority of scores are expected to fall in the middle. Thus, option A is correct.

WAYS TO ENSURE HEALTH NEEDS OF STUDENTS IN ARLINGTON HIGH

Dear Sir, the health needs of the students of this school has been neglected for too long and I decided to take a stand and bring it to your notice.

For the last six months, there have been scattered cases of cholera outbreak along the students, and there was one case with a staff. There has not been a dedicated response to this health challenge, it has been treated with kid gloves too. I believe there should be strict enforcement of hand washing in all classes.

Another health need that the students face is the unhygienic state of the toilets which has been going from bad, to worse. The students feel, rightly, I must add that there is a need for an extra janitor or cleaner to help maintain the hygiene of the toilet.

Thank you for your time.

one of the central ideas of narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass is that, in the minds of slave owners, an enslaved person is no better than an animal. in a well-developed response of one paragraph, describe how Douglass develops and supports the central idea, citing specif evidence from the text and exploring how Douglass makes connections between key events and the central idea in your response.

Answers

Answer:

    The mistress’s initial kindness had a greater effect because it was during that time that she taught Douglass to read, an event which had enormous impact on his life. He acknowledges this when he says, “Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell.”  People are fed and sustained not only by food, but also by ideas and understanding.  Douglass finds vindication for his belief that slavery is wrong. Douglass “was led to abhor and detest” his enslavers. Douglass comes to feel that learning to read had been a curse rather than a blessing.  

    He thinks that if he were an animal, he wouldn’t have the ability to think and worry about his circumstances. Now that he can read, Douglass is tormented by his constant thoughts about his life as a slave and the impossibility of freedom. He regards slaveholders as “a band of successful robbers” and as “the meanest as well as the most wicked of men. Douglass’s purpose is to express his thoughts and feelings about being enslaved and about the effects of literacy. He relates three events that help him achieve his goal: his mistress teaching him to read, his further pursuit of instruction from “all the little white boys,” and the acquisition of certain reading materials that encouraged his own thoughts and feelings about slavery.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include the article or text for reference. However, we can help you comment in general terms.

Fragmentation is notorious for the number of spectators who watch TV or comedy shows. The comparison is between "The Cosby Show" during the 1980s and "Two And A Half Men" in the 2010s.

"The Cosby Show" had an average audience of 30 million. A total success. "Two And A Half Men" had an average audience of 15 million, and for today's standards, it was a success.

Fragmentation has resulted in the diversification of people's tastes, culture, preferences, likes, and dislikes. This has had a direct impact on the numerous shows that have been produced to satisfy every market niche. That is why, today we can see advertisings for many kinds of shows, different audiences, different topics, genres, and situations.
