THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE
By Hugh Lofting

Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.
Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.

For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.

Which element of the description of Puddleby is most significant to the plot of the story so far? (5 points)

That it had a marketplace and a cemetery
That it had an old stone bridge named for a king
That a river ran through the middle of it
That it was quite small in size

Explanation:

what are the themes of the story the white knight?​

Answers

Answer:

The theme of the story "The White Knight"

The story teaches and makes us ponder on ‘self awareness’, whether actions are more important than appearance. The white knight by appearance that represent champion of virtue, honour, and justice by the society and himself go in search of black knight to slay it since that is what the white knight is expected to do. However, in the process, the white knight without realizing commits the deeds of black knight turning himself into black knight.

The story teaches us that appearance does not matter. It is self-awareness and good actions that makes one a true White Knight. One doesn't have to travel and be in high post to do good deeds, good actions start when we understand and change oneself and start making small positive differences in our own small ways.

The main idea of the story is not really about the knight doing harm to the forest and turning himself into being evil. The story aims to impart wisdom or self-discovery of who the White Knight really is.

While Lancelot was the White Knight, white knight has been used to name anyone who comes to the defense or rescue of someone since the early 1600s. It can also mean a “champion” more generally.

Dr. Reynolds' priority in his life is:
becoming famous.
marrying Susanne.
becoming a professor of religion.
None of the choices are correct.

Answers

Answer:

becoming famous.

Explanation:

In Tony Hillerman’s novel, Chester Reynolds has a doctorate in anthropology; his primary academic field is archaeology. As a specialist in ancient Native American culture, he is dedicated to promoting the importance of Folsom, a culture that he believes originated much earlier than other scholars have yet determined and then maintained a continuous presence in the US Southwest.

Unfortunately, he is so obsessed with proving this idea that he completely loses his perspective. Reynolds will stop at nothing to gain recognition for his expertise in this area. Among his transgressions are placing artifacts obtained elsewhere in the sites that his people are digging—a practice called “seeding”—so that the archaeologists who find them will believe his theory. Even worse, he kills people who stand in his way.

Which of the following shows strong characterization?
A. Ben was always fearless. He had been skydiving many times and was never scared. He bravely fought for his country without a moment’s hesitation. When his plane lost an engine he never lost his cool and brought it down safely. However, when he heard that his wife might be sick, he was scared.
B. Alex was still unconscious. He still had no idea that in the night someone broke into his home. Then they went on to drug him, toss him into the back of a truck. He was unaware that the truck sped down the highway all the way to Washington, DC and to the White House. And he certainly did not know that when they wake him up, that he will be their only hope.
C. Parker had a lot of pets. He had a cat, a dog, a snake, a horse, and three birds. These pets did not always get along. There were many times where someone would call and complain about the sounds from Parker’s home. The hardest part was figuring out if they should send the police or animal control.
D. Kyle walked around the empty apartment. It was once full of so much life, but now it was just an empty shell waiting for someone else to move in.

Match the following.


1. suffix changed verb to a noun


2. suffix meaning one who


3. suffix shows a quality or action


4. suffix changed noun to a verb


5. suffix used to compare two things


6. suffix changed noun to adjective


7. suffix changed adjective to adverb


8. word that maintains its original part of speech after adding the suffix


9. suffix used to compare three things


10. suffix that can change an adjective to a noun


friendlier


childish


-ence


quietly


-dom


-ant


-est


liquefy


confidant


-er

Answers

When we match the descriptions to the options, we have:

1. confidant

2. -ant

3. -ence

4. liquefy

5. -er

6. childish

7. quietly

8. friendlier

9. -est

10. -dom

A suffix is a group of letters added to a word's ending. It changes that word into a new one, often changing its category as well - for instance, making a noun out of a verb.

Let's briefly explain each of the answers above:

1. "Confidant" is a noun formed by adding the suffix -ant to the verb "confide".

2. The suffix -ant seen above means "one who" performs an action.

3. The suffix -ence indicates the state of possessing a quality or performing an action. Example: ignorance.

4. "Liquefy" is a verb formed by adding the suffix -fy/efy/ify to the noun "liquid".

5. The suffix -er is added to an adjective in order to compare two elements in the sentence: She is smarter than her sister.

6. "Childish" is an adjective formed by adding the suffix -ish to the noun "child".

7. The adverb "quietly" is formed by adding the suffix -ly to the adjective "quiet".

8. "Friendlier" is an adjective formed from "friendly", which is also an adjective. The suffix did not change the category of the word.

9. The suffix -est is added to an adjective in order to make its superlative form, which extends the comparison to more than just two elements. Example: She is the smartest of the group.

10. The suffix -dom can be added to an adjective in order to change it to a noun. Example: freedom.

In conclusion, understanding the use of suffixes can enrich our vocabulary and comprehension of meanings.
