From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences. And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me. If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesn’t want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like." The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there. I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea. Which three statements from the essay illustrate how Morris feels about things? Choose one answer from each group. Type the LETTER ONLY for each answer in the correct blank. Type A, B, or C for Blank 1. Empty! Yes, thank Heaven It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. Type D, E, or F for Blank 2.

Who is the story about? Who else is included in the story? Why does the main character act a certain way? the story is: "A Retrieved Reformation"

Answers

Answer:

This story is set in the American Midwest during the early 1900s.  

Jimmy Valentine is a skilled safe-cracker and does time in prison.  He is allowed to go back into society when he is paroled.  The main characters are as follows:  Jimmy Valentine, Mike Dolan - his partner in crime, Jimmy's love of his life - Annabel Adams.  Annabel's family is also a part of the story.  

In the beginning, the warden reminds Jimmy that he is not a bad person, just that he has a bad habit of cracking safes.  He goes to his friends  - which is in a hotel - and finds his stashed tools that he used to use to crack safes.  Jimmy wants to rob another bank, but he sees a girl and falls in love.  Yep, that quick!  He lies about his name and is accepted into his love's family.  Would you believe that Annabel is the banker's daughter???  Story goes on as Agatha is locked in the safe.  She is going to run out of air and die.  Oh, but who will be able to save her?  

This story is really about how a person can change - but how Jimmy - who wanted to change, has his past catch up with him.  He starts robbing again.  Love can change people.  The irony in the story is that he is able to forget that he is a robber/burgler - due to the love of Annabel.  But, remember that she is the banker's daughter and this puts Jimmy right where he can rob again.  

Hope this helps.

Identify an example of dramatic irony in your novel or short story. If your story has not presented any examples of dramatic irony, describe your own suggestion for adding dramatic irony to a scene from your novel or short story. my story is the outsiders

Answers

I think An example of dramatic irony in the outsiders is:

Or The dramatic irony comes from the fact that while we the viewers know that his gun is unloaded, the cops have no idea, leading them to misjudge the situation. If the cops knew that his gun was unloaded, they likely would not have shot him.

Answers

The answer to this is A.

Intrusive is the kind of narrator is this, as it is said At that moment I knew I was dead. That might not be the best place to start, actually. Let me back up a little bit. I did not want to be here. Here being the army. Hence, option A is correct.

What is meant by being intrusive?

Someone or something is invading your space or getting in the face. All nosy inquiries, prods to the ribs, and a mother who hovers are intrusive. Being bothered by things that encroach on you is a genuine pain in the neck. It is invasive conduct if someone repeatedly asks you personal or sensitive questions.

A tendency or propensity to invade; to act in an unwelcome manner; to disrupt or disturb; to enter without permission.

Thus, option A is correct.

Label "Track" if the phrase or sentence is like evidence for how the plot, characterization or theme is developing. Label "Response" If you have a reaction-- like "This narrator is showing signs of insanity. Eight nights sneaking in to look in on an old man sleeping. He's crazy!"

Explanation: I see the word "steadily" highlighted. You might question why the word is repeated. Is it to establish a rhythm-- like the narrator's own heartbeat?

how does Fadi’s identity affect his perspective of his first day of school? IN Shooting Kabul by NH Senzai

Answers

Answer:

Thinking about the aspects of what make up one's identity, how does Fadi's identity affect his perspective of his first day of school. Not to mention, they are escaping from Afghanistan, a very dangerous country located in South Asia. Because of this, I think Fadi is afraid, because of his past home he has to be afraid because he doesn't know what is going to happen next.. His mother is also getting sicker and sicker everyday, and he doesn’t know if she will make it. The first quote that I believe really helps is “The eerie stillness was broken by muffled coughing as Zafoona covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Before she could tuck it away, Fadi saw a trace of blood on the snowy white cloth.” The second quote is “ As a Pukhtun, his father was bound by the ancient, sacred code of Pukhtunwali to protect his namus—the women of his family—with his life.”

Frank McCourt, Whose Irish Childhood Illuminated His Prose, Is Dead at 78:” How does the anecdote about McCourt assigning students to write “an excuse letter” in the paragraph below add to the development of his story? “Mr. McCourt developed an idiosyncratic teaching style that found a somewhat more receptive audience at the elite Stuyvesant High School, where he taught creative writing after earning a master’s degree in English from Brooklyn College in 1967. He had students sing Irish songs to break down their resistance to poetry. After discovering a sheaf of written excuses from past years, he recognized an unexplored literary genre and asked students to write, say, an excuse letter from Adam or Eve to God, explaining why he or she should not be punished for eating the apple.” Question 44 options: a) It illustrates another example of writing through using one’s own experiences. b) It puts forth the idea that McCourt was an even better teacher than he was a writer. c) It shows where he got the idea for what the format of Angela’s Ashes should be. d) It provides another instance of McCourt bringing one of his childhood traditions from Ireland and sharing it in America.

If you don't do what they say, you will be punished. You can't really choose your life, and the things you can decide, your not ever allowed to change.

I don't really know any real-life examples of this but I heard that some Asian parents choose who you marry and you have to act like their your queen or king. If you disobey they will probably throw you out of the house.
