Broken Dishes
Joe owned a few businesses in Penfield, and he was a thoughtful business owner. The windows of his art gallery were made of special glass that protected the art from sun damage. And he bought a new delivery van for his flower shop when the old one kept breaking down, because no one should receive withered flowers.
He was especially proud on the day his restaurant opened. A restaurant was a brand-new venture for Joe. He'd picked out beautiful plates and glasses. They were costly, but he wanted to give his customers the best dining experience he could.
He was thrilled when the restaurant filled up for lunch, but disheartened when he heard a glass break in the kitchen.
"Please be more careful," he told the dishwasher.
Not much later, a child shattered a plate on the dining room floor. After that, a man waved Joe to his table, where he pointed out a chip in the rim of his water glass. It would have to be thrown away.
In the kitchen that night, Joe counted the remaining plates and glasses.
"Owning this place is going to cost a lot more than I thought," he told the chef.
"You know, there's a restaurant supply store in Ridgemont. It sells dishes and glassware, and you buy them in bulk, so they're cheap," the chef said.
"Good point," said Joe. "In this business, sooner or later everything breaks."
That weekend, Joe and his chef drove to the store in Ridgemont.
The next day, Joe watched contentedly as the restaurant fill up again. When a server dropped one of the new plates, Joe didn't get upset. A new one was taken from a large box, where there were plenty more replacements at the ready.

How does the character of Ismene contrast with Antigone’s archetype?

-Ismene represents a coward in comparison to Antigone’s heroine.
-Ismene shows true leadership compared to Antigone’s cowardice.
-Ismene shows quiet confidence, which is the opposite of Antigone’s leadership.
-Ismene displays the physical strength of a warrior that Antigone does not have.

Answers

Answer:

When Antigone and Ismene heard about the decision of King Creon that the dead body of Polyneices would not be given the right to be buried, they both have different views on it. On the one hand, Ismene felt sorry for Polyneices but was not that brave to disobey the commands of Creon. She put her hands down and was not in the favor of opposing the decision of the state. On the other hand, Antigone wanted to bury Polynieces as she wanted that the family should do the burial rights after the death. Creon didn't want Polynices' body to go through the privilege of burial because he considered Polynices as a traitor. Antigone's rebellion against Creon reflects the theme of the path of morality versus the path of civil law and order.

Answer:

Ismene represents a coward in comparison to Antigone’s heroine.

Briefly describe the development of the plot. What is happening in this scene?

Answers

Explanation:

Capulet’s orchard.

(Enter Romeo)

ROMEO: He jests at scars that never felt a wound.

(Juliet appears above at a window.)

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief,

That thou her maid art far more fair than she:

Be not her maid, since she is envious;

Her vestal livery is but sick and green

And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.

It is my lady, O, it is my love!

O, that she knew she were!

She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?

Her eye discourses; I will answer it.

I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:

Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,

Having some business, do entreat her eyes

To twinkle in their spheres till they return.

What if her eyes were there, they in her head?

The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,

As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven

Would through the airy region stream so bright

That birds would sing and think it were not night.

See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!

O, that I were a glove upon that hand,

That I might touch that cheek!

JULIET: Ay me!

ROMEO: She speaks:

O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art

As glorious to this night, being o'er my head

As is a winged messenger of heaven

Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes

Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him

When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds

And sails upon the bosom of the air.

JULIET: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name;

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

ROMEO: (Aside) Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

JULIET: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;

Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.

What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

What's in a name? that which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet;

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,

And for that name which is no part of thee

Take all myself.

ROMEO: I take thee at thy word:

Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;

Henceforth I never will be Romeo

JULIET: What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night

So stumblest on my counsel?

ROMEO: By a name

I know not how to tell thee who I am:

My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,

Because it is an enemy to thee;

Had I it written, I would tear the word.

JULIET: My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words

Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound:

Art thou not Romeo and a Montague?

ROMEO: Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.

JULIET: How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?

The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,

And the place death, considering who thou art,

If any of my kinsmen find thee here.

ROMEO: With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls;

For stony limits cannot hold love out,

And what love can do that dares love attempt;

Therefore thy kinsmen are no let to me.

JULIET: If they do see thee, they will murder thee.

ROMEO: Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye

Than twenty of their swords: look thou but sweet,

And I am proof against their enmity.

JULIET: I would not for the world they saw thee here.

ROMEO: I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight;

And but thou love me, let them find me here:

My life were better ended by their hate,

Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.

JULIET: By whose direction found'st thou out this place?

ROMEO: By love, who first did prompt me to inquire;

He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes.

I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far

As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,

I would adventure for such merchandise.

Answer:

Romeo stands in the shadows beneath Juliet's bedroom window. Juliet appears on the balcony and, thinking she's alone, reveals in a soliloquy her love for Romeo. She despairs over the feud between the two families and the problems the feud presents. Romeo listens, and when Juliet calls on him to "doff" his name, he steps from the darkness saying, "call me but love."

After the two exchange expressions of devotion, the Nurse calls Juliet from the balcony. Juliet leaves, but returns momentarily. They agree to marry. Juliet promises to send a messenger the next day so that Romeo can tell her what wedding arrangements he has made. The scene concludes as day breaks, and Romeo leaves to seek the advice of Friar Laurence.

What are the possible downsides to wearable technology? Are there any ways to design around these issues?

Answers

It is pretty easy to drop things especially if you’re a clumsy person. If you were to go outside whilst wearing wearable technology, if it would start to rain it could possibly break because it got wet. It could also be a hazard due to it being electric, it could possibly lead to a shock. A way to design around those issues is to put some sort of casing that protects it from water, breaking from an impact of a fall, or just not wearing it outside in general.

(English isn’t my strong suite, hope this helps?)

Hello :D

Their are multiple downsides to wearable technology such as bad waterproof designs which can be dangerous. Also, some wearable technology is badly designed and may be uncomfortable to wear.
