Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

O Cassius portrays Caesar as a cruel-hearted tyrant, and at the same time says he pitties Caesar  can't help himself.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" revolves around the story of the death of Caesar at the hands of his close ally Brutus and other conspirators. The play deals with themes of loyalty, good vs. evil, appearance, and reality, power, greed, etc.

In the given excerpt from the play, Cassius questions why or how Caesar can be a tyrant. For him, Caesar "would not be a wolf" but then, he also states that "[Caesar] sees the Romans are but sheep." This is an example of verbal irony because Cassius portrays Caesar as a cruel tyrant but also pities the person.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Answer 2

An example of verbal irony is B. Cassius portrays Caesar as a cruel-hearted tyrant, and at the same time says he pitties Caesar can't help himself.

What is irony?

It should be noted that in literature, irony is simply used to mean the opposite of a particular situation.

In this case, an example of verbal irony is that Cassius portrays Caesar as a cruel-hearted tyrant, and at the same time says he pitties Caesar can't help himself.

to "dance life like champions." Support your essay using details from the play, current events, and your studies.

Answers

Answer: In this excerpt from A World Without Collisions, Sam describes how he dreams the world to be in the future. I think his main idea has good intentions, he feels sorry for those who get hurt in "learning how to live life". He also seems to think that everybody should take control of their lives and don't be just a victim on everything that happens. This way of thinking has good intentions, but it is not always realistic or even easy to do.

First of all, unexpected things happen in life and some are pretty big and sad, and we do not control everything that happens around us. It is true that we can try and control our emotions in order to feel better, but not what happens outside our bodies. The thing is also, we can chose not to be victims, but it is healthy sometimes to embrace the bad feelings to because only by accepting our sadnesses or pains is that we will be able to move forward. If we deny this bad feeling, our bodies will eventually speak for us and show us that we have been hiding important issues that we should face. I agree, we should "dance life like champions", but doing so is also embracing the bad feelings, connecting with them, and get pass through them. We ARE going to get hurt "in all that bumping" and it is ok.

Which of the following best describes the difference between “autobiography” and “memoir”?

Autobiography covers entire story of the writer's life and has multiple themes; memoir is the writer’s random memories about past experiences.
Autobiography covers the entire story of the writer's life and has multiple themes; memoir is a shorter written work with one theme.
Memoir covers a particular time in the writer’s life or recounts life events around one or two themes; autobiography covers the entire story of the author's life and has multiple themes.
Autobiography is written about the author's own interpretation of events; memoir is a written interpretation of events.

Answers

Answer:

The option which best describe the difference between "autobiography" and "memoir" is:

C. Memoir covers a particular time in the writer's life or recounts life events around one or two themes; autobiography covers the entire story of the author's life and has multiple themes.

Explanation:

Both a memoir and an autobiography are a written account regarding someone's life written by that very person. However, there are differences between the two. An autobiography's purpose is to tell that person's whole story, since birth till now. The autobiography will not focus on one or two specific themes; instead, it will be broad, going from personal to professional life, from relationships to accomplishments, and so on.

On the other hand, a memoir will often develop only one or two themes throughout the book. Because of that, it may focus on a specific time in that person's life, or in multiple times in which the events are linked by that same theme. Let's take Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) as an example. The author was a survivor of the Holocaust in Germany. His memoir "Night" focuses precisely on that theme of surviving in a concentration camp. Facts and events in his life that are unrelated to that theme are not included in the story.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Passage A
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass
was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.

Passage B
The road was smooth and well paved, now, and the country about was beautiful, so that the travelers rejoiced in leaving the forest far behind, and with it the many dangers they had met in its gloomy shades. Once more they could see fences built beside the road; but these were painted green, and when they came to a small house, in which a farmer evidently lived, that also was painted green.
They passed by several of these houses during the afternoon, and sometimes people came to the doors and looked at them as if they would like to ask questions; but no one came near them nor spoke to them because of the great Lion, of which they were very much afraid. The people were all dressed in clothing of lovely emerald-green color and wore peaked hats like those of the Munchkins.

Questions :
1- What is the most common color of the area around Dorothy’s home?
2-What is the most common color of the surroundings in this passage?
3-What do you think the author is trying to say about the differences in these two places?

Answers

1 - Gray

2 - Green

3 - One is bleak, and without life. While the other is vibrant, and is completely opposite of the other.

Up Broadway Chandler moved with the vespertine dress parade. For this evening he was an exhibit as well as a gazer. For the next sixty-nine evenings he would be dining in cheviot and worsted at dubious table d’hôtes, at whirlwind lunch counters, on sandwiches and beer in his hall-bedroom. He was willing to do that, for he was a true son of the great city of razzle-dazzle, and to him one evening in the limelight made up for many dark ones.

Which word best describes the tone of this passage, and why?

Answers

Answer:

The word that best describes the tone of this passage is "willing" because it presents the tone of determination that Chandler has and that is transmitted to the reader through the reading of the text.

Explanation:

The tone of a text is the feeling conveyed to the reader through reading. In the text above, we can see the tone of determination, as Chandler is determined to sacrifice himself for many days to spend a night in the spotlight and have a lot of fun with it. This tone of determination is highlighted through the word "willing" which reinforces the feeling that the reader should feel.

Notice how the lighting changes during the course of the text. Cite evidence to show how the lighting has changed. How does this change in imagery reflect the changing character of Mary

Answers

Answer:

The light is mirrored in Mary's persona.

Explanation:

Both lamps in the room are "alight" at the start of the short passage. The lights in the grocery store are still turned on. It's dark outside when the officers arrive to investigate, and Mary catches "the flash of a torch through a chink in the curtain."

The light is mirrored in Mary's persona. At first, she appears content and happy, as signified by the lamps being lit. Her spirit darkens after she murders her husband, and it darkens much more when she orders the officers to consume the murder weapon.
