What does Ralph notice about the boys' attitudes about work?

The boys
who are marooned on the island have widely varying attitudes toward work, which depend on
factors including their age and the length of time they spend on the island. After they have
explored the island, the boys realize that they are its only inhabitants and that no other land
is visible to the naked eye. This affects their belief in their changes of being rescued. These
factors are combined with the influence of s leadership style, which is strikingly different
from s approach.

Jack promotes activities that will be exciting. Using the
rationale that they need to eat meat, he promotes hunting as a primary activity. The boys do not
identify hunting as work because it is not onerous. In contrast, Ralph promotes the importance
of duller activities, such as keeping a smoky fire going, building shelter, and keeping the
campsite clean. When he sends the boys to gather firewood, that is exciting at first, but they
quickly become exhausted from the effort. After the hunt, during which the fire goes out, Ralph
calls an assembly. He tells the boys that their intentions are not borne out in action: We
decide things. But they don't get done. After he reminds them of the most important practices,
such as keeping the fire going and maintaining health and hygiene, he also acknowledges the role
of fear in altering their behavior. Addressing and rejecting fear, he insists, is a crucial step
for them to start again and pay closer attention to the fire and other important
matters.

How did Ralph Waldo Emerson describe politicians and ordinary citizens in relation to the issue of slavery in his speech, "The Fugitive Slave Law?"

In this
speech, Emerson denounces both politicians and ordinary people.  He says that they are both
complicit in the evils of slavery and that they have shown their lack of moral fiber.


Emerson is speaking because of the fact that some fugitive slaves had been taken from
Boston and returned to slavery.  He is aghast that such a thing could have happened.  He argues
that both...

What does Howard Zinn say about how and why the United States took the Southwest (or northern lands of Mexico) from Mexico?

The
Mexican War is the subject of Chapter Eight of , and Zinn's narrative of
the conflict focuses on the intense opposition to the war among abolitionists and Whigs who
opposed the expansion of slavery. These critics viewed the war as immoral, an unjustified act of
aggression that many believed was aimed at the expansion of slavery into territories gained by
the defeat of...

In 1984 how are the proles superior to the Party members according to Winston? (Part 2)

The proles
are free to live their lives how they want to, for the most part.  The proles, consisting of
nearly 85% of the population, are not part of the party, and are not watched incessantly like
party members are, or those that work for the party. envies that freedom.  He wants to be able
to live his life unexamined, and with whomever doing whatever he wants.  He is sick and tired of
the constant fear, paranoia, and surveillance.  The proles don't have to worry about that,
because the party doesn't worry about them.  They spend most of their lives struggling to work
and make ends meet, and the constant warfare that exists in the world keeps their passions and
patriotism afire and satisfied.

Winston wonders why the proles don't rise up
and rebel against the party, becuase if they did, they would squash the party instantly from
sheer numbers alone.  They have, through the fact that they are so large in number, the power to
get rid of the thing in life that Winston hates so much:  the party.  He envies that power.  He
finds them superior because they have potential, they have freedom, and they have a life that
they can live as they choose (in their limited circumstances).  I hope that those thoughts
helped; good uck!

With the aid of examples, explain how globalization has affected an industry of your choice.

Another industry
significantly impacted by globalization is the food industry. Before globalization, food
production and distribution occurred on a local scale; with urbanization and expansion, food is
now produced and distributed globally. In many ways this shift has increased food availability,
affordability, and diversity; it is now easier and cheaper to ship food to most locations. This
provides consumers in developed countries with a wider array of choices and convenience;
bridging cultural and geographic barriers and allowing customers to choose "what they want,
when they want it." It has changed dietary habits, improved food safety, and allows
companies to reach a wider range of consumers.

However, the benefits of food
globalization are not evenly distributed, and there are several significant consequences of
globalization. Increased preservation technology and affordability has contributed to the rise
of fast food chains and highly processed goods, which are generally...

What gains did black people achieve during Reconstruction even though it was an overall failure?

Usually,
historians point to the fact that blacks managed to set up stable communities of their own
outside of the context of slavery.  This is not a big deal in terms of politics or of rights,
but it is seen as evidence that black ex-slaves were not helpless.

For
example, one of the books I have used to teach from talks about how the free blacks managed to
set up their own churches and fraternal societies.  It also emphasizes that blacks were able to
"reestablish and reaffirm" the families that had been broken up by
slavery.

What similes does Romeo use to convey Juliet's beauty?

Ais a
comparison of two unlike things using the words like or as. The comparison tends to enhance the
qualities of one of those things. Immediately after seeingat Capulet's party in ,compares her
beauty (it is definitely her looks he is speaking of here because he has yet to meet her) to a
precious jewel:

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of
night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiops ear
This
comparison needs a bit of explanation because one might not understand what Romeo is speaking
of. It was probably common in Renaissance Italy for men from Ethiopia to act as traders and to
visit Italian cities. Romeo may have seen just such a man, or maybe read about them. These
Ethiopians were often wealthy and would have adorned themselves in elaborate jewelry such as
diamonds, emeralds or rubies.
 
Later, in , Romeo
once again uses a simile to describe Juliet. Here he may also be speaking of her personality and
not just her beauty because he has spoken to her briefly in the waning moments of Capulet's
party. He compares her to an angel coming down from heaven as a messenger to bring happiness and
light to Romeo's life (which, by his own admittance, had been darkened by his unrequited love
for Rosaline):
O, speak again, bright
angel, for thou art
As glorious to this night, being oer my head,
As is a
wing¨d messenger of heaven

This comparison to a "bright angel" is very in much in keeping with
Shakespeare's recurring motif of light and dark which pervades the .
