Imagine you are a servant in Dr. Heidegger’s house. What are your reactions to the people who drank the elixir? What do you think of those people at the very end of the story when they leave the house?

Answers

Answer:

Given that I were a servant at Dr. Heidegger's house, it would not at all please me to have witnessed the people having taken the elixir for themselves and have fallen into the trap laid down for the naive people by the likes of them. My reaction would be that of disapproval towards them. Those who chose to leave the house in the hour of need are nothing but cowards who gave up too soon instead of having gone through the ordeal all the way.

How does Shakespeare's use of triumph instead of victory
affect the meaning of the passage?

A. It shows that Cassius thinks that Brutus is too optimistic.

B. It implies that Brutus would be willing to pay the price for
his actions.

C. It reveals that Brutus and Cassius regret killing Caesar.

D. It creates a greater sense of humiliation for the defeated.

Answers

Answer:

A. It shows that Cassius thinks that Brutus is too optimistic.

Explanation:

Shakespeare's use of triumph instead of victory in the excerpt in the passage affects its meaning because it shows that Cassius thinks Brutus is too optimistic, that is, Brutus expect they would win the war.

Cassius is trying to ask Brutus if he could face the humiliation of losing the battle and be led through the street of Time as trophy.

This means that there are two consequences of fighting a war, either to lose or to win.

Loosing means to be paraded as trophy and winning means to parade the losers as trophy.

A participant responds to the text by saying, “The fast-food industry can give valuable work experience to teenagers.” Write three to four sentences in which you share what you would say in support of or in opposition to this. Be sure to provide evidence to support your opinion.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Why I support that The fast-food industry can give valuable work experience to teenagers:

1. The fast-food industry is a fast growing industry that require little to zero experience and therefore teenagers are useful workforce for this industry.

2. With teenagers required to attend schools during the day, fast-food industry creates time for them to work after school hours.

3. Fast-food industry can accommodate a lot of these teenagers which means it is one of the best place to gain early work experience.

4. The fast-food industry creates an avenue for this teenagers to show customer relationship management while working there and this can help them in any career of their chosen.

Answer:

I agree that fast-food jobs can give work experience to teenagers. At the same time, I wonder how valuable this work experience is. In Fast Food Nation, Schlosser mentions that teenagers with these jobs are not paid well and often do not learn new skills. In addition, time on the job can take away from their focus on school.

Dear Journal,

I have only arrived here yesterday, and the first Thing I noticed was her  attitude towards me. She seems to friendly. And I also noticed her red fingernails. I also found some entries from other people. They didn't seem familiar to me, But I wanted to check the entries out anyways. The sweet lady had caught me looking at the pictures of the boys who had been here before. I had asked about them, but she told me her experience with them. I wonder, Why are these entries here? I mean if these people had left, they should've taken these with them right? Eh, they probably just forgot about them. They're also the same age as me, which was weird as Them being seventeen and I am also Seventeen. But some were older. So I guess it wasn't that weird. She had handed me tea to drink, But I'm not usually into tea, but I didn't want to seem rude, so I drank it. I also admired her red nails. I thought they were really pretty. She looked at me up and down before we reached her guest room. It felt kind of weird. But I didn't think much of it. Jesus what was in that tea? It tasted bitter, like almonds. But I think It did something to me. Hopefully this headache goes away. And this pencil feels so heavy..Maybe this will go better in the morning.

B.(When I put out to sea,)

But such a tide as moving seems asleep.

C.(Too full for sound and foam,)

D.(When that which drew from out the boundless deep)

Turns again home.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

A) First, a clause is an incomplete sentence or a group of words that can't stand alone or one that does not have meaning standing by itself.

B) Furthermore, it must have a verb and a subject.

A verb, if you recall is an action word while a subject is "the person or thing being referred to".

Looking at the clauses in option B we can see that they both meet the above conditions.  

Let's see clause one - "And may there be no moaning of the bar, "

It is clear that the verb here is "moaning" while the subject is "the Bar".

It's clear to see that these group of words meet the conditions given in A and B above because left by themselves, they make no meaning.

Let's take a look at the second clause:

"When I put out to sea,"

"I" here is the subject. It is a pronoun. A pronoun is simply a word that can be used instead of the noun. That is a noun can easily but inserted in the place of "I". Hence, we have "I" as the subject.

"Put Out"  here is a verb which means to relocate.

So "When I put out to sea"  also meets the conditions in A and B above.

Cheers!

Answer:

Repetition of vowels

Explanation:

Gene sees a free green jeep parked on a tree-lined street.

The repetition of comparable vowel sounds, preceded and observed via way of means of exceptional consonants is called as assonance.

What is consonance ?

Both phrases are related to repetition—assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds and consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds—however those phrases (as they may be usually used) vary in three critical methods from the patterning of rhyme.

This is why many poets use assonance, consonance, and alliteration. The repetitive use of a vowel sound can create rhythm in a reader's thoughts and rhythm could make a line greater memorable.
