What do the historical facts in this passage show about
the yellow fever epidemic?
O People in Philadelphia felt Rickett's Circus building
would help people recover.
O Fever victims were isolated from the rest of the
population
"Still, I don't understand why so many run scared."
"They've taken over Rickett's Circus building on Twelfth
Street to house the poor," said Mr. Brown.
"Isn't that why we have an almshouse?" asked
Grandfather.
"The almshouse is closed. They want to protect their
residents from the disease. So the fever victims lie on the
floor of Rickett's with little water and no care. Once a day
they remove the bodies for burial. A neighbor threatened
to burn the place down if the sick are not removed,"
explained Mr. Carris.
"But where will they go?" asked Grandfather.
-Fever 1793,

O The almshouse was closed down because it ran out
of money
O Only the wealthy stayed at Philadelphia's
almshouse

Which phrase in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby" is a participial phrase?
North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free. An uninhabited
house of two storeys stood at the blind end, detached from its neighbours in a square ground. The other houses of the street, conscious of
decent lives within them, gazed at one another with brown Imperturbable faces.
The former tenant of our house, a priest, had died in the back drawing-room. Air, musty from having been long enclosed, hung in all the rooms,
and the waste room behind the kitchen was littered with old useless papers. Among these I found a few paper-covered books, the pages of
which were curled and damp: The Abbot, by Walter Scott, The Devout Communicant and The Memoirs of Vidocq. I liked the last best because its
leaves were yellow. The wild garden behind the house contained a central apple tree and a few straggling bushes under one of which I found
the late tenant's rusty bicycle-pump. He had been a very charitable priest; in his will he had left all his money to institutions and the furniture of
his house to his sister.

Modest Proposal lines 186-203 Summarize the cost benefit analysis the narrator offers in lines 186-196. What is Swift satirizing here?
Answer:
Swift is satirizing the state's neglect of caring for the poor.
Explanation:
In "Modest Proposal" Swift addresses a solution for the large number of poor children who are abandoned, or stay on the streets asking for alms and end up growing and becoming social problems, like thieves, due to the lack of opportunities.
The solution that Switf shows is that these poor children must be bought and fed by wealthy families and once they are fat enough, serve as food for these families, in addition, the skin can be used to make clothing. In the text, he shows how the cost benefit of this can be good for the country, since it provides money for poor mothers, prevents children from being abandoned or stay on the street disturbing wealthy families and provides a raw material for food and clothing. cheaper than conventional raw material.
With this text, Swift sought to satirize the state's neglect to address the problems of poor society, in addition to showing how poor people were of no value to rich people.

Answer:
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies, is generally thought of as a sparkling romantic farce. However, while the play is lovely and comic, it also has a strong trace of darkness and cruelty, a sinister underside that is inextricable from its amorous themes. Midsummer may end with a series of happy weddings, but along the way it clearly depicts how male-female relationships can involve a great amount of cruelty, with the potential to spread discord throughout society.
Nearly all the male characters threaten their female counterparts with violence at some point in the play. Theseus, for example, won Hippolyta not through seduction or courtship but by military conquest, having vanquished the Amazons, her tribe of woman warriors. He says to her in the opening scene, “I wooed thee with my sword, / And won thy love doing thee injuries,” drawing an explicit connection between love and assault. Later in the same scene, Egeus publicly threatens to kill Hermia, his daughter, if she does not consent to marry Demetrius. Oberon, for his part, does not put Titania at risk of true physical danger, but he does brainwash her with a love-potion for the express purpose of humiliating and humbling her. Lysander may be the only male who does not consciously seek to harm his mate. But even so, Hermia cannot escape peril. Just after the bewitched Lysander abandons her, she wakes from a nightmare, trembling with fear as she describes how she dreamt she saw “a serpent [eat her] heart away.” Though Lysander isn’t in control of his own actions at this moment, Hermia’s subconscious still registers his desertion as an act of violation.
Throughout the play, romantic strife is portrayed as a force that can spread, like a contagion. At one point, the whole earth becomes infected. When the sparring fairy monarchs, Titania and Oberon, confront each other in Act II, scene i, Titania describes a tumultuous world filled with sickly clouds and rotting vegetation. She insists that this chaos has sprung from her and Oberon’s quarrel, and that they are the “parents” of the planet’s current state of turmoil.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream ends with several happy (if magically-induced) weddings, but even the joy of the closing celebration does not completely banish the play’s threatening undercurrent. The nuptials are commemorated with a clownish performance, but significantly, the craftsmen’s theme is a gruesome one: a romantic couple that meets a violent and tragic end. In addition, the blessings offered by Puck and Oberon seem to evoke more terror than good will. Oberon offers the more traditional blessing, wishing the couples fertility and lasting love. However, he also mentions “blots of nature,” such as harelips and other deformities, calling attention to the dangers that can befall vulnerable children even as he wards them away. Puck, for his part, spends most of his speech describing all the horrible things that lurk outside the wedding chamber door, such as hungry lions and ghosts from “gaping” graves. In the end, we don’t know if the newlyweds are inside experiencing the flush of matrimonial bliss or if the discord that has been bubbling up throughout the play has unsettled them: As Puck closes the door against the terrible creatures of the night, he shuts the audience out, as well. With the ultimate fate of our protagonists so ambiguous, A Midsummer Night’s Dream cannot properly be called a romantic comedy.

what does 149-12x +16 x=7 mean
Answer + Explanation:
149-12x+16 x=7
The x=7 means that the x in the equation 149-12x+16 would be substituted as 7.
149 minus 12 (x=7) +16
149 minus 12(7) plus 16
149 minus [12*7=63) plus 16
149 - 63 + 16
You would then do PEMDAS.

Explanation:
Despite discussing similar themes of war in the story "Ambush" and essay "Symptoms," O’Brien and Steinbeck chose different genres and modes to present their views. Compare the format from both these texts and evaluate how the chosen mode influences the presentation of ideas. Which do you think is more effective in conveying its central meaning?
Answer:
"Ambush" by Tim O'Brien was about the Vietnam War and "Symptoms" by John Steinbeck was about World War II. "Ambush" was a story while "Symptoms" was an easy. Both texts presented the effects of war on soldiers. I think "Ambush" is more effective since it lets the reader realize the effects of war through imagination.
Explanation:
Answer:
Both Tim O’Brien’s “Ambush” and John Steinbeck’s "Symptoms" have the same theme of war, but they convey contrasting messages. While O’Brien’s story indicates that soldiers never forgets their actions and experiences at war and can often be riddled with a lifetime of guilt and regret, Steinbeck claims that soldiers block out wartime experiences because they are traumatic.
In "Symptoms," Steinbeck describes war experiences in a matter-of-fact and scientific manner. He uses a sympathetic tone to portray the harsh realities of war, employing the analogy of childbirth to make the reluctance of remembering trauma more relatable to readers, most of whom have not been directly involved in war, but who may have experience with childbirth. On the other hand, “Ambush” conveys the writer’s personal memory of what happened at war. He killed an enemy soldier, but one who possibly would not have harmed him and was just passing by. This act of killing haunts the writer throughout his life. He thinks about the soldier he has killed—about his background, his personal life, his hopes and dreams—and thinks about how his grenade destroyed all that. He wants readers to think about the killed enemy soldier as a human being, not just a soldier who is at war to kill or be killed. He makes war personal. O’Brien lies to his daughter because he is unable to come to terms with his guilt over killing another human being. His personal touch makes his writing about war more convincing and effective in conveying its central meaning to readers.
