which one do u think is superior money or education ? i think education is the key of success for our lives which we should respect and i think its...

As mentioned
above, this is a cyclical question. One with money can always buy an education, and one with an
education has more access to money. So which do you pursue? As in most things in life the answer
would usually lie in the middle.

I must add though that I think education is
more important, at least a true good education, one that teaches you to think and learn on your
own. Knowledge and the ability to gain, retain, and use knowledge BELONGS to you. It can never
be taken from you once you have it. Money is fleeting and is never truly yours to
own.

What sentences establish the style of "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" by Hemingway? What is distinctive about them?

It
is always the opening sentences that set the style of well written literature. In this case, the
opening sentences include the narration and dialogue as in this excerpt from the opening
narration and dialogue:

The two waiters inside the cafe
knew that the old man was a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he
became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on
him.

"Last week he tried to commit suicide," one waiter
said.

"Why?"

"He was in despair."

The distinctivetechniques here are Hemingway's
trademarks found in all his major works. The story is written in the style of
minimalism in which...

Keeping his appointment to meet the Devil in the forest, Goodman begins to walk with Satan and
even has a conversation with him before saying that he must go home. Brown's hesitation to
return home alludes to the nature of temptation. Temptation is often physically gratifying and
enticing, which is why Goodman Brown does not immediately travel home. The Devil is also a
convincing character and encourages Brown to continue his journey because his father and
grandfather have done so in the past. After traveling deeper into the forest, Goodman Brown sees
Goody Cloyse and decides to rest on a log. Goodman again tells the Devil that he

Explain how Henry Evans communicates, in the article "I Was Trapped in My Own Body" written by Brian Eule.

Although Henry Evans is almost entirely
paralyzed, he still communicates using his eyes. Apart from showing his general mood, he has
developed a code in which winking his left eye is a request to scratch an itch, two blinks mean
he is thanking someone, and rolling his eyes upwards means that he is asking for an enhanced
means of communication: his letter board.

The letter board is a rectangle
with the alphabet printed on it in groups of letters. Henrys wife, Jane, holds it up, and he
indicates letters with his eyes to spell out words. Jane calls out the letters to check that she
has them right and is often able to finish his sentences for him. However, the couple has
memorized where the letters are on the board so perfectly that Henry can actually communicate
with Jane in this way even without the board, simply by moving his eyes in the direction where a
particular letter would be if she were holding it.

The other way in which
Henry communicates is using a device called a headtracker, which converts slight movements of
his head into cursor movements on a keyboard. Using this, he can type up to 15 words per minute.
A note at the bottom of the message asks the recipient to forgive its brevity, since it was
typed using Henrys head.

List questions Vera asks Framton about the "people round here" and about her aunt.

Vera
only asks Framton one direct question about his knowledge of the people in the area and one
direct question about her aunt.

"Do you know many of
the people round here?" asked the niece, when she judged that they had had sufficient
silent communion.

The girl is fishing for information.
There would be no point in asking Framton her other question if he said he did know some people
"round here." 

"Hardly a soul," said
Framton. "My sister was staying here, at the rectory, you know, some four years ago, and
she gave me letters of introduction to some of the people here."

What he means by "Hardly a soul" is that he has met a few
people because of the letters of introduction. This is a good example of how awriter will convey
information to the reader through dialogue, which is usually more interesting than straight
prose . When Vera is satisfied that Framton knows nothing about the people in the area and that
his sister probably doesn't know about anything that could have happened there in recent years,
she asks her other question.

"Then you know
practically nothing about my aunt?" pursued the self-possessed young lady.

        "Only her name and address," admitted the
caller.

The author has to establish that Framton is a perfect victim for the
practical joke she intends to play. When she refers to the open window, it is not exactly a
question.

"You may wonder why we keep that window
wide open on an October afternoon," said the niece, indicating a large French window that
opened on to a lawn.

This gives the girl her opportunity
to tell her story about how the three hunters got sucked into a bog exactly three years ago and
how her aunt, who had a mental breakdown, has been expecting them to return every evening since
theoccurred. Vera has to tell her story quickly because she has no idea when her aunt will put
in an appearance.

Perhaps we should suspect that the girl has some ulterior
motive for asking Framton her two direct questions when they first meet. But we do not realize,
until after Framton flees in terror, that this innocent fifteen-year-old girl had been setting
Framton up for a scare when the three hunters, supposedly dead for three years, return towards
the open window in the gathering dusk and her giddy aunt says exactly what Vera knows she was
going to say.

"Here they are at last!" she
cried. "Just in time for tea, and don't they look as if they were muddy up to the
eyes!"

withon the playground to vent about her terrible day. Jem attempts to comfort Scout by telling
her,

When Scout responds by saying that
she is not interested in cows, Jem displays his childhood innocence by saying,

"Im just trying to tell you the new way theyre teachin' the

Clearly, Jem has no idea what the Dewey Decimal System is and

Why did Candide and Cacambo leave El Dorado?

Even though El
Dorado is filled with splendour and great wealth,and Cacambo leave because Candide wants to go
back and pursue Cunegonde. Initially, Baron Thunder Ten-Tronckh, Cunegondes father, had walked
in on Candide kissing his daughter, an act that he deeply frowned upon especially due to the
fact that Candide was a commoner and his daughter a noble. He, therefore, ordered that Candide
is ejected from both the castle and Westphalia.

With his newfound wealth,
however, Candide is confident that the baron will welcome his advances towards Cunegonde. He,

In "Hills Like White Elephants," why do you think Hemingway chose to tell this story as a dialogue between two opposing characters?

Earnest
Hemingway was well known for his iceberg writing style, where most of the meaning is below
the surface. A modernist writer, Hemingway wanted to depict things as they really were without
providing much interpretation for the reader; instead, the reader is to make meaning for
himself. For this reason, is told from a narrator who seems to simply be observing a
conversation between two people. Their conversation is much like a real conversation between two
people who are struggling to communicate and understand each other. Much of what the characters
really mean and feel is unspoken. Their conversation seems simple and mundane at the surface,
but in reality they are discussing something that could potentially change their lives. The
woman, Jig, and her boyfriend are discussing whether to have an abortion. When Jig says, thats
all we do, isnt it-- look at things and try new drinks? she seems to be implying that she wants
something more out of life, that their current way of living has become dull and meaningless to
her. Throughout the conversation, it seems that she does not want to go through with the
abortion,  but she never comes right out and says it. On the other hand, the unnamed man seems
to want her to go through with the operation, but he never comes right out and says this,
either. The narrator observes this conversation and this difficulty in communication without
commenting on it, allowing the reader to take meaning for himself.

What is the time era of "Cranes"?

This story was published
in 1953, but was set during the Korean War in a village that is situated along the thirty-eighth
parallel, which is of course the line that now divides North Korea and South Korea. The setting
is crucial to the story as a whole, because it enables the author to present the grim realities
of Civil War. The two central characters, who find themselves opposed to each other
ideologically because of their location, realise that they are actually childhood friends who
used to play together. The way in which Songsam realises this and shows how friendship is a
force that is stronger than ideological convictions by releasing Tokchae is a powerful testament
of love.

It is also, however, a disturbing story that shows the true cost of
Civil War as villages are literally split in half and families and friendships are destroyed
through nothing more than ideology and war. This short story paints a very graphic picture of
the true cost of war and how so much suffered as a result of a war that pits friend against
friend and family against family.

What products and countries that have perfect competition in both the factor and product markets? (2 examples)

Please keep
in mind that there is no such thing as perfect competition in the real world.  However, I would
say that the closest thing to the situation you describe would occur in the market for various
kinds of farm products.

The factor market for these products includes such
things as farm labor and fertilizers and seeds.  All of these things are commodities that are
relatively competitive.  They are not all perfectly competitive, but at least the labor market
is quite close.

The product market for agricultural goods is about as close
any market ever comes to perfect competition.

What is the significance of the symbols in The Stranger?

Symbolism in tends to
be occupied with either absurdism or its opposite.

For example, the sun which
irritates Mersault's eyes and gleams off the blade of the Arab represents nature. Considering
how the sun acts as an irritant and a factor in Mersault's murdering the Arab, nature (or
perhaps more accurately, environment) is presented as the central force determining human
actions. If the day had been cloudy, then Mersault likely would not have been compelled to kill
the other man.

Both the courtroom in which Mersault is tried and the crucifix
offered to him by the prison priest represent society's insistence upon rationality, tradition,
and order. The occupants of the courtroom think Mersault is a monster because he does not
ascribe rational reasoning to his actions. The priest tries to get Mersault to accept the idea
that the universe is governed by the rational laws of a benevolent and just deity. Mersault's
rejection by the courtroom and his rejection of the priest's crucifix illustrate his embracing
of an absurd, meaningless view of life.

In what ways is Blanche DuBois a classic southern belle?

Blanche,
like most upper-class Southern belles, is like a hothouse flower. She needs protection. She
never learned about the real world because she had the protected childhood of an elite Southern
girl. That protection was destroyed by the Civil War. Stella likes a real he-man who gives her
real sexual pleasure and satisfaction, while Blanche lives in a world of illusion and likes
young boys who are only good-looking and potentially romantic. She was married to that type of
boy, she said, and he died young. Notice how she talks to that young boy who comes to collect
for the newspaper in Scene Five: Young man! Young, young, young man! Has anyone ever told you
that you look like a young Prince out of the Arabian Nights? Well, you do, honey lamb! Come
here. I want to kiss you, just once, softly and sweetly on your mouth! Now run along, now,
quickly! It would be nice to keep you, but Ive got to be goodand keep my hands off
children.

What is Charles's strongest character trait and why?

In 's
short story "," the title character's strongest trait is his audacity. From the
Merriam-Webster online dictionary, audacity is defined as: "A confident and daring quality
often seen as shocking or rude." 

In this story, a boy named Laurie
invents a boy named Charles to explain his behavior at school. His parents are baffled by the
stories of Charles, and concerned. They often overlook the behavior that Laurie displays at home
that is mirroring that of his alter ego.

While telling his parents that
Charles is responsible, Laurie commits many heinous acts at school. Some of his most audacious
acts are: hitting the teacher, yelling so loudly he disturbs other classes, bouncing a see-saw
off the head of a classmate, causing her to bleed, punching a boy in the stomach, and convincing
a classmate to speak an obscene word, then saying it himself.  

While all
these acts are being committed, Laurie's mother and father seem oblivious to Laurie's actions.
Even when Laurie's father tries to correct his disrespectful behavior, with a stern "See
here, young man," the parents think that it is Charles's influence that has made him act
this way. 

At home, Laurie has the audacity to insult his father twice,
saying "Hi Pop, y'old dust mop," and the joke: "Look up, look down, look at my
thumb, gee you're dumb!" He laughs "insanely" after saying this to his father. He
also shouts raucously in the house and down the street on his way home. He spilled his sister's
milk and walks away while his father is still talking to him. 

All of these
behaviors would be considered audacious today for a kindergartener, but in 1948 when it was
first published, it would have seemed incredibly audacious.

How does the story prove the unconscious heroism of Phoenix Jackson?

Phoenix is
described as being "very old and small and she walked slowly." Everything about this
description suggests a very weak person. However, she manages to overcome any obstacle that
comes her way. She is meek but resourceful. She manages to steal a nickel from the hunter. She
seems weak but she is courageous. She stares down the barrel of the hunter's gun showing that
she is unafraid. When she is presented with a problem, she finds a solution. The thorn catches
her dress and she is able to free herself. She falls down and, somehow, she doesn't break any
bones. She needs her shoe tied and is able to get help from a woman in town. In the end, she
retrieves the medicine. In summary, she succeeds time and again. In terms of making this
journey, she has proven to be unstoppable, even though she is a frail, old woman.

A journey is a classic narrative structure for a hero. Notable heroes that employ this
literary element are Odysseus in The Odyssey, Bilbo Baggins
in The Hobbit, and Aeneas in The Aeneid. Phoenix makes
a journey as well and that journey forms "a worn path." The gesture (the fact that she
is seeking medication for her grandson) is generous and heroic as well. So, her perseverance is
heroic but the meaning behind her efforts (caring for her grandson) is admirable as
well. 

Phoenix also never claims to be heroic. The only compliment she gives
herself is "I wasn't as old as I thought." She doesn't consider herself to be a hero.
She simply does what needs to be done. Therefore, she is not conscious of the notion that her
efforts are heroic. This humility actually makes her seem even more
heroic.

What does the heron symbolize in "Night Calls" by Lisa Fugard?

Symbolism
can be very subjective and tricky to discern, and there might not be a single answer that
suffices to express the symbolic subtext of a work of literature. In any case, here are my own
thoughts concerning this question.

"Night Calls" is a story that is
very much about death and loss, with theand her father having had their lives reshaped by the
protagonists's mother's death. But in the aftermath of that , the heron was brought to the
sanctuary, and the father was tasked with rehabilitating it. In many respects, the heron is what
keeps her father at the sanctuary.

Symbolically, the heron ties together
themes of life and death as well as past and future. The heron is one of the last of its
species, but they hope that, if it finds a mate, then the species might be preserved. In its
early years at the sanctuary, it was a beacon for tourism, but by the time that the story takes
place, public interest in the bird has long since waned. It is also interesting that
it...

How do sociological perspectives explain the causes of prejudice and discrimination?

There is
a difference between prejudice and discrimination. Prejudice is an attitude. Discrimination is
an action. People who discriminate cause harm to those who are experiencing the discrimination.
People who are prejudiced hold negative attitudes about a group of people, but unless they act
upon their attitudes, their attitudes alone wont harm a group of people.

There are various sociological factors for why prejudice and discrimination occur. One
factor is that these ideas are taught either directly or indirectly. A person who hears a
respected person in his or her life say negative things about a group may believe these things
to be true. As a result, a person generalizes these beliefs to all people of the group. A person
who sees discriminatory actions may think it is acceptable to act this way toward
others.

Another factor involved is the fear of not conforming to the norms
of a group to which a person belongs. If a person takes a different view regarding a group than
his or...

What are some examples of direct and indirect characterization of John Proctor in The Crucible?

If one reads rather than watching it, much of the directcomes
from Miller's stage directions. These are particularly important in John Proctor's case, since
Miller says more than once that he is not what he appears: "the steady manner he displays
does not spring from an untroubled soul." Later he adds,

Proctor, respected and even feared in Salem, has come to regard himself as a kind of
fraud.

One of the principal qualities which we see
throughis Proctor's quick temper. He is angry with Mary Warren as soon as he enters, and, though
he shows some patience with Abigail, he quickly turns on Elizabeth in act 2. This, admittedly,
is not a clear-cut instance, for he may have been completely patient with her for the last seven
months, but this does not seem consonant with what we see of his character in the following
acts, or his treatment of Mary Warren and Mr. Parris in act 1. In prison, we learn from a
conversation between Danforth and...

What does the Ghost of Christmas Present mean when he shows Scrooge the miners and says, "But they know me. See!"?

In this
chapter, the Ghost of Christmas Present visits Scrooge and shows him what is happening all
around him at the present time. In addition to taking him to a bustling marketplace full of
food, and to the Cratchit residence where Scrooge sees his employee's many children, including
Tiny Tim who is ill and uses crutches, the Ghost brings him to a desolate landscape. 

"What place is this?" asked Scrooge.

"A place where Miners live, who labour in the bowels of the earth," returned
the Spirit. "But they know me. See." 

A light shone from the window
of a hut, and swiftly they advanced towards it. Passing through the wall of mud and stone, they
found a cheerful company assembled round a glowing fire. An old, old man and woman, with their
children and their children's children, and another generation beyond that, all decked out gaily
in their holiday attire. The old man, in a voice that seldom rose above the howling of the wind
upon the barren waste, was singing them a Christmas song -- it had been a very old song when he
was a boy -- and from time to time they all joined in the . So surely as they raised their
voices, the old man got quite blithe and loud; and so surely as they stopped, his vigour sank
again.

In this scene, Scrooge is shown a group of people
whose daily lives are desolate and difficult (miners work underground and often live short lives
due to the dangers of their jobs, ranging from accidents to health problems from inhaling coal
dust). The Ghost shows him that such people nevertheless celebrate the Yuletide season with joy;
they dress in their finery and sing around the fire. 

It could be said that
the old man seen here is a stand-in for Scrooge  himself; the old man sings a song to the
children, and when they join in on the chorus he becomes more happy and animated. The children
invigorate him, much as Scrooge finds that his heart goes out to Tiny Tim, and is moved by his
loving disposition, despite the boy's illness.

The Ghost makes a point that
even these people whose lives are harsh can "see him"--this means they know how to
find the joy in their lives every day, and savor the moments of happiness when they come. This
is something Scrooge has not done in many years, and this Ghost's lesson for him is to
"seize the day" and enjoy every moment for what it is, not worrying about money or
focusing on small unpleasant tasks or annoyances. Scrooge takes this lesson to heart when he
tries his best at the end to improve the lives of people around him, especially Bob Cratchit and
his family.

In The Alchemist, Santiago tells how the sheep enhance his life. What characteristics and aspects of the sheep help Santiago live a happier life?

A lot
of times I think that people wear their "busyness" as a badge of honor.  They feel
that if every minute of every day is filled with something, then they are somehow better off or
better than a person that is less busy.  Thoreau's emphasis on "simplicity, simplicity, and
simplicity" is largely missing from daily modern life I believe.  

Santiago's sheep enhance his life and allow him to live happier, because they offer
simplicity.  I don't believe that being a shepherd is easy, but the sheep for the most part are
predictable and do what he wants them to do.  He knows what to expect from them, and he has a
great deal of control over them.  Santiago isn't even necessarily bored by them, because he
admits that he "usually learns more from sheep than from books."  The sheep offer
Santiago a happy life because they offer a simple, content life. 

Of course
Santiago eventually grows restless and wants to leave the life of a shepherd in order to pursue
his personal legend.  He goes on a fantastic adventure, but it is fraught with danger.  Santiago
frequently debates giving up and just going back to the life he knows and the life that he knows
allowed him to be content.  The sheep might not be glamorous like a personal legend, but I could
argue that being content is equivalent to being happy.

How do the formal and informal amendments processes compare as expressions of popular sovereignty?

The
answer to this question is really a matter of extent. Formal amendments are actual amendments to
the Constitution itself. They can be initiated by either a two-thirds vote in each house of
Congress or by a convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures. In either case, the
amendment must be approved by either three-fourths of the state legislatures or by special
conventions called by the same legislatures. The Congressional method has been by far the most
common, and whatever the method, the fact that state legislatures are involved means that
popular sovereignty is reflected to a substantial extent because state legislatures are elected
directly by the people at the state level. The convention method could entail even more popular
participation in some states, because they can be chosen by special direct election in the
states as well. For example, many of the state conventions that ratified the Bill of Rights were
composed of delegates chosen by the people....

How does Goodman Brown's journey into the forest relate to his relationship with his wife?

Brown's
journey into the forest is like a ritual. He feels he must undertake this journey to test his
"faith." Brown is an absolutist. This means he believes that people are either
inherently good or inherently evil. In this narrow-minded worldview, he comes to believe the
latter, the people are inherently evil. He therefore loses his faith in humanity. He ceases
being able to trust other people and this includes his wife. He loses his faith in Faith, so to
speak. 

Faith, on the other hand, is reluctant but accepts that Brown feels
it is necessary to make the journey. In doing so, she symbolically accepts that each person must
confront the human potential for evil. She is not an absolutist. She recognizes that people are
capable of both good and evil and chooses to live life as well as possible.

Note that when Brown returns, he looks at her sadly and passes her without saying a
word. She greets him with joy. For her, the dark journey into the forest is not something that
should destroy their relationship. But Brown has lost faith in humanity and, as a consequence,
he can no longer trust people. He can not trust Faith because he can't trust anyone anymore.
Faith remains open to the possibility of a happy life. But Brown lets himself become
psychologically melancholy. Being an absolutist, he lets his journey and confrontation of human
evil cloud his mind with negativity. This negatively affects his relationships with everyone in
his life.

How does the symbol of Richard Cory reveal the theme of the poem "Richard Cory"?

The image
of , the symbolism of both who he was and how the town saw him, are of vital importance to the
theme of the poem.  The idea of Richard Cory being someone of respect, and with almost an aura
of regalia to him is essential to understanding what happened to him.  People regarded him in an
almost point of view.  His amassing of wealth cut him off from people and this helped to feed
the perception of him as being someone who "glittered" apart from others.  While this
helped to intensify the way people looked at him, it might hint at the fundamental sadness that
is apparent in his character, causing him to not be able to forge anything in way of social
solidarity with others.  This isolation compelled him to end his life in the manner he did and
cause a level of uncertainty in how he was viewed by others.  His being "richer than a
king" was a symbol of how the town viewed him, but it was also representative of how
alienated Cory was from himself and others.

What is the instrumentation of Verdis "La Donna e Mobile" from the opera Rigoletto

Verdi
uses the basic orchestra of woodwinds in pairs (flute and piccolo, oboes, clarinets, bassoons),
horns, and strings (first and second violins, violas, violoncellos, and contrabasses). Notice
that in La donna ¨ mobile the full orchestra used in the overture and
climactic and ensemble scenes is not employed. The aria uses no trumpets, trombones, or
percussion instruments. This is typical of a solo aria in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. The stronger brass and percussion are not used throughout an entire opera; they're
too heavy and they overpower a solo singer, as would be the case in this aria sung by the Duke,
a tenor.

As in all operas by major composers, in this aria the
instrumentation fits the words. Verdi typically uses what has (sometimes derogatorily) been
termed an oom-pah-pah accompaniment, in this case in triple time, with the violins playing the
theme in octaves to introduce the aria, supported by the woodwinds. The sharp sound of the
piccolo dominates the theme and the answering phrase to the Duke's repeated words thateach
stanza: muta d'accento, e di pensier.

Theof this aria,
somehow borne out by the bold thrusting theme in octaves played by violins and woodwinds, is
that--like Rigoletto as a whole--it's extremely beautiful and sensuous
music accompanying words and a story that are tragic and even ugly. The Duke, in this aria,
basically puts down women and claims that they're all false and unfaithful. Actually it's the
Duke himself who is this way, and the plot of the opera revolves around his victimization of the
young girl Gilda who is the daughter of his court jester, Rigoletto. The drama, based on Victor
Hugo's play Le roi s'amuse, is brutal and horrifying.

What is Holden's view of women and girls in The Catcher in the Rye? I need at least one quote for support.

has a
complicated relationship with girls and women that threads throughout the novel. There are the
girls he wants to protect, such as , a family friend with whom he enjoys playing checkers. She
falls into the category of girls like his little sister, , who need to be guarded from the
world's predators. Therefore, when Holden finds out his roommate, Stradlater, a smooth talker
who seduces girls, is taking Jane on a date, Holden becomes agitated:

I kept thinking about Jane, and about Stradlater having a date with
her and all. It made me so nervous I nearly went crazy.

Similarities between Romeo and Paris?

The
similarities between the two men are not immediately apparent, but they are there all the same.
For one thing, bothandare handsome, eligible young men from very good families. Ordinarily,might
have had no objection to getting married to Paris. Had he come along before she first cast eyes
on Romeo, then who knows what might have happened? As it is, though, Juliet only has eyes for
Romeo, and frankly thinks that Paris is a bit of a drip, certainly not someone she can imagine
spending the rest of her life with.

Nevertheless, one shouldn't be too hard
on Paris. Like Romeo, he is deeply in love with Juliet, and also like Romeo has a strong sense
of honor. When he sees what he believes to be Juliet's dead body lying in the family tomb, Paris
is overcome with grief, as will be Romeo when he arrives later on.

And when
Romeo does arrive, Paris shows the sense of honor he shares with him by attacking Romeo in the
mistaken belief that he's turned up to desecrate Juliet's tomb. In the ensuing duel Romeo kills
Paris; in due course, Romeo will eventually kill himself. The greatest similarity between the
two men, then, is that they both come to grief through their love for
Juliet.

What role does pride play in the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt?

Pride is
one of the major reasons for the deaths ofand . In , Tybalt's pride is hurt whenstops him from
challengingat the party. Tybalt overhears Romeo, who is wearing a mask, talking about , and
becomes enraged, calling for his sword. Lord Capulet intercepts him and refuses to allow him to
engage Romeo and even says that Verona speaks of Romeo as a "well-governed youth."
This obviously does not satisfy Tybalt, who is not a patient man and believes that the
"intrusion" will only cause him to become angry again later:

Patience perforce with willful choler meeting
Makes my
flesh tremble in their different greeting.
I will withdraw, but this intrusion
shall,
Now seeming sweet, convert to bittrest gall.

Later in Act II,reports that Tybalt has sent a letter to Romeo's house demanding
satisfaction and challenging Romeo. Meanwhile, Romeo is preparing to marry Juliet, Tybalt's
cousin, setting up the events of .

 

In this scene
it is Mercutio whose pride works against him. Despite Benvolio's warnings, Mercutio remains in
the street when the Capulets enter. Tybalt asks about Romeo, which only draws insults from
Mercutio as he flourishes his sword. When Romeo shows up, because he has just been married, he
immediately backs down to Tybalt and even tells him that he loves him:

I do protest I never injured thee
But love
thee better than thou canst devise
Till thou shalt know the reason of my
love.
And so, good Capulet, which name I tender
As dearly as mine own, be
satisfied.

Mercutio cannot
take it. His pride is hurt as he believes that his best friend is backing down to a hated
Capulet. He promptly steps into the fray and, noting Romeo's seeming cowardice, challenges
Tybalt to a fight:

O calm, dishonorable,
vile submission!
Alla stoccato carries it away. [He draws.]
Tybalt, you
ratcatcher, will you walk?

As the two fight, Romeo jumps into the middle and Mercutio is fatally wounded. Even
the wound, however, does not stop Mercutio from demonstrating his ability with words and his
pride as he condemns the Montagues and Capulets:

I am hurt.
A plague o both your houses! I am sped.

Following the stabbing, Tybalt flees, but pride
seemingly brings him back to the scene and he and Romeo fight, with Tybalt falling. Had Mercutio
and Tybalt listened to Benvolio's warning to either withdraw or "reason coldly," they
would have survived. Instead, they let their masculine pride overcome common sense.

What are the benefits of students studying contemporary art?

As the
previous educator mentioned, "benefits" are subjective. There are some who say that
studying art is a waste of time and that students benefit more by focusing on more
"practical" subjects, such as science, technology, engineering, and math, otherwise
known as the STEM fields.

What these detractors do not realize is that the
study of the arts, particularly visual art, is very helpful in teaching young people new ways of
seeing their worlds. Visual artists, such as painters and photographers, encourage us to see
those aspects of life that we might take for granted or not otherwise notice. 

Art can inspire imaginative exploration, which can expand into other areas, such as
technological innovation. The study of the arts encourages us to "think outside of the
box," or to see other possibilities beyond what we already know.

Subjects in contemporary art tend to deal with themes in contemporary life or with the
subjects that interest us now. It also applies versatile techniques that encourage us to think
beyond our traditional understanding of what art can be. Contemporary art includes not only
painting and photography, but also a lot of conceptual art, such as textual art (e.g., Jenny
Holzer, Lawrence Weiner). It also allows for the use of non-traditional materials, such as
recycled trash.

Finally, the study of contemporary art, along with the other
humanities, is key in teaching students empathy. Art allows us to "see" through
another person's eyes, which gives us access to an experience we might not otherwise have. The
ability to empathize is fundamental to a cohesive society.

How does Shakespeare's use of language demonstrate that it is fate's attempt to solve the conflict in Romeo and Juliet?

From the opening lines in the , Shakespeare intentionally uses language to convey the
hand of fate in the outcome of the play:

From forth the
fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; (prologue
5€“6)

In ancient times, just like today, some people
believed that one's choices and fate could be dictated by the position of the stars, moon, and
planets. Therefore,are the "lovers" in these lines, and the stars have not aligned in
their favor. From the beginning, they are doomed by fate and will die.

Episode 1 and stasimon 1 of Oedipus Rex by Sophocles: When Tiresias refuses to speak, how is the reaction of Oedipus characteristic of him?

teachsuccess

Whenrefuses to speak, 's reaction is characteristic of his exaggerated sense of
self-importance.

As king, Oedipus is accustomed to abject or servile behavior
from his subordinates. To Oedipus, Tiresias's favored position as a prophet does not release him
of his responsibilities toward his king.

What Oedipus expects is immediate
compliance on Tiresias's part. However, Tiresias refuses to accommodate Oedipus. He is reluctant
to tell the proud, vengeful king the truth. For his part, Tiresias cannot be certain that
Oedipus will accept the truththat he, Oedipus, killed his father and is fully responsible for
the curse Thebes is undergracefully.

Consider Oedipus' words to
Tiresias:

What then, thou knowest, and yet willst not
speak!
Wouldst thou betray us and destroy the State?

Monster! thy
silence would incense a flint.
Will nothing loose thy tongue? Can nothing melt
thee,
Or shake thy dogged taciturnity?

And who could stay his choler

How does Dickens present Scrooge's character in stave one of A Christmas Carol?

Rather than focusing entirely on Scrooge's shortcomings, let's take a look at some of
his strengths.

For example, Scrooge is scrupulously honest.

Scrooges name was good upon Change, for anything he chose to put his
hand to.

The term "'Change" refers to the
London Stock Exchange, and this means that Scrooge can be taken at his wordnot only at the
Exchange, but in any of his business dealings.

It comes as no surprise, then,
that Marley trusted Scrooge implicitly.

Scrooge was his
sole executor, his sole administrator, his sole assign, his sole residuary legatee, his sole
friend, and sole mourner.

It also means that, at one time
in his life, Scrooge had at least one friend.

Scrooge is generally
unsentimental and extremely practical.

Scrooge was not so
dreadfully cut up by the sad event, but that he was an excellent man of business on the very day
of the funeral, and solemnised it with an undoubted bargain.

Scrooge's practicality and lack of sentimentality are also shown by his lack

In Chapter

proceedings.  Ken, who yesterday left a question for the Oracle by writing it on a piece of
paper and slipping it into Thoth the Owl's beak, is a famous general, and the rest of the
children are priests and attendants of the Oracle.  As the high priestess, April leads a

What is the main cause of inflation in Pakistan right now?

An
increase in demand and debt have contributed to the rapid inflation of Pakistan's economy. That
does not mean negative debt, necessarilyit is simply a measure of how much money businesses and
individuals are allowed to borrow, infusing liquid capital into the economy. By doing this, the
supply of money ostensibly grows, allowing for greater purchasing power, but eventually causing
prices to rise to an equilibrium at a product's fair value.

The increase in
demand is largely due to a population increase, as Pakistan is experiencing rapid growth
annually. For a relatively small country, several million people annually becomes a large
percentage, and this spurs a demand for numerous goods. This demand will in turn increase
prices. That increase, coupled with the influx of capital from exports and debt, has created a
dramatic inflationary process.

What are four types of prisons for adults?

There are
many different types of prison. Prisoners will be sent to a specific facility depending on the
type of crime (petty to violent), and the level of law that has been broken (state, federal,
military).

Here's a quick run down on the major prison categories:

Juvenile: Reserved for young (under 18 years of age)
prisoners.

Minimum Security: Reserved for
committers of non-violent crimes. Prisoners are often incarcerated for "white-collar"
crimes, such as fraud. Security is minimal and accommodation is often dormitory style.

Medium Security: The next step up, medium security prisons
are what most people think of as "prison". Personal freedoms are fewer than in a
minimum security facility and the daily routine of inmates is more regimented. "Cage"
style accommodation is often used.

Close
Security: Here prisoners are usually housed 1-2 per cell. Each cell has toilet
facilities. Inmates may leave their cells for work programs, or to use common areas.

Maximum Security: Maximum security is reserved for
offenders of the most violent crimes. Guards are armed and plentiful. Every inmate is regarded
as dangerous. The USA also has a Supermax prison
facility. 

Psychiatric: Psychiatric prisons
often resemble hospitals. They house inmates who are deemed "mentally
unfit."

Military: Military prisons house
prisoners of war and personnel who have broken national security laws. Every branch of the
military has their own prison facilities.

Federal or
State? If someone commits a Federal crime, then they are likely to be sent to a
Federal prison -- the exception being violent crime. Federal prisons also prohibit
parole.

How do Edwards' comparisons heighten one's awareness of humanity's perilous state?

Edwards'
comparisons are reflective of the idea that human beings' actions have angered God and that
human salvation is only capable through divine mercy.  The idea that God's wrath is being
"dammed" by his own will is one such comparison.  It brings out the very idea that
human beings are not in control, contrary to what they might feel. Rather, they must surrender
to God's own...

Should we read A Streetcar Named Desireautobiographically? Do you believe that knowledge of Tennessee Williams's sexuality and the...

I think
that it is very difficult to divorce the autobiographical elements from Williams's work.  This
becomes especially valid in .  There are two specific quotes from
Williams's life that I think makes this the case.  One is from Williams's mother, who spoke
about the intensity with which her son would approach the writing process in his formative
years:

Tom would go to his room with black coffee and
cigarettes and I would hear the typewriter clicking away at night in the silent house. Some
mornings when I walked in to wake him for work, I would find him sprawled fully dressed across
the bed, too tired to remove his clothes.

At the time of
his mother's observations, Williams faced a level of dissatisfaction with his private and
professional life.  It is in this light where I think that it is clear that Williams was able to
use his writing as a way to exorcise out the demons that he felt plagued him.  Williams
approached his work with a fervor and intensity...

What does Mama realize about her daughters at the end of the story "Everyday Use"?

At the end
of "," Mama realizes that Maggie is deserving of appreciation and attention and that
Dee is hardly an authority on family matters.  Throughout the story, Mama admits that she has
not paid much attention to Maggie who is quiet and unassuming.  Maggie has lived her life in the
shadow of her younger sister Dee.  But at the end of the story, Maggie proves that she knows the
family's heritage, and she is the one who can remember which uncle whittled the churn and which
uncle whittled the dasher.  Maggie has also learned how to quilt just like her mother and
grandmother, so she is the daughter who will carry on the family's traditions.  Dee, on the
other hand, has always presented as knowledgeable, and certainly her formal education lends to
this image.  Dee never really had true friends, just people who admired her intelligence and
listened to what she had to say.  But at the end of the story, Mama realizes that Dee does not
really want to be a part of the Johnson family and its traditions--she simply wants to make the
family's heritage a spectacle to show her friends.  As a result, Mama opts to turn all her
attention to Maggie and let Dee go back to the life that she has chosen to
live.

What is the exposition, rising action, climax, turning point, resolution, and denouement of Lord of the Flies?

One of the
factors that makes such a gripping novel is 's skillful development of the
story arc. The author's pacing as he moves from , rising action, andto theand resolution is
superb. The story unfolds as follows:

Why is the boy being punished in "The Lumber Room"?

The young boy, Nicholas,
is being punished because he refused to eat his milk and bread in the morning because, as he
said, there was a frog in it. Many adults assured him that this was not possible and that there
was no way a frog could be inside his bowl, but he continued to insist upon it. In truth, there
actually was a frog in his bowl of milk and bread because he, himself, had
taken it from the garden and put it there.

This incident proves to the boy
that adults can be "profoundly in error," even when they have expressed absolute
certainty on a subject. One of these adults, the woman who calls herself his aunt though she is
not really a relative of his, actually devised the special trip to the beach at Jagborough so as
to really make Nicholas feel the seriousness of his bad breakfast behaviorbeing barred from
going to the beach is intended to guarantee more favorable behavior from Nicholas in the
future.

He is likewise forbidden to go into the gooseberry garden while his
cousins are gone on their trip. With his "aunt-by-assertion" standing sentry at the
gooseberry garden, Nicholas is free to steal a key to let himself into the lumber room and
explore it at leisure.

Explain The Significance Of The Full Title Of The Play The Importance Of Being Earnest

In the end, with Jack's
famous last line, "Now I know the vital importance of being earnest," he seems to
imply that one only needs to be earnest when it actually suits one's purposes.  Jack was only
accidentally honest.  If he had known his true parentage, this would still
not have satisfied his need to escape his gentleman's life and behave illicitly from time to
time.  Look at his brother, Algernon: he had to invent a permanent invalid named Bunbury just so
he would have an excuse to get out of family engagements.  Therefore, Jack would likely still
have been dishonest.

Furthermore, if Jack had known his true lineage, then he
never would have become Cecily Cardew's ward.  If he had not invented a fictitious brother,
Algernon could not have pretended to be him, and this would have left Jack without his love.  It
is the end that justifies the means in this play, and when all the lies happen to add up to a
truth, the ending results in happiness for everyone.  However, almost
