After reading the end of Lord of the Flies, and reading of the conflicts between Ralph, who wanted to be rescued, and Jack, who wanted to hunt, was author William Golding arguing in the book that civilization would win out or that savagery would ultimately rule over human beings in this type of situation?
Give specific arguments to support your claim.

Answers

Answer 1

The tribe undertakes a manhunt to track down and kill Ralph, and they start a fire to smoke him out of one of his hiding places, creating an island-wide forest fire. A passing ship sees the smoke from the fire, and a British naval officer arrives on the beach just in time to save Ralph from certain death at the hands of the schoolboys turned savages.

 The theme of savagery versus civilisation is first introduced to us through the symbol of the conch shell which we associate with Ralph as he is the person who first uses it and becomes the elected leader of the boys. This symbolises authority amongst the boys. At the first assembly Ralph says “I’ll give the conch to the next person to speak…he won’t be interrupted”. This suggests civilisation as Ralph is allowing each boy to have an equal say and opinion. If they have the conch, no matter who they are or what age they are they will be given the chance to speak and will be listened to by the rest of the boys. The boys have created the island to be a democratic place which shows a civilised side to them as they try to mimic the homes they have just left.

One of ways Golding shows conflict between savagery and civilisation is when Jack and some of the other boys are killing the first pig. Jack chants “kill the pig, cut her throat, spill the blood”. This suggests savagery as the boys are being violent and aggressive when killing the pig and they don’t care about it. This is particularly clear through Golding’s word choice. Jack talks about cutting the pig’s throat which makes it sound like a savage action and spilling her blood which reinforces the lack of care and feeling shown towards the pug’s carcass. This shows that the boys are no longer feeling guilty about what they have done thus showing them becoming savages.

Answers

The correct answer is:

Detailed analysis of the nutrients from typical kitchen waste  would be most relevant to a research paper describing the benefits of composting kitchen waste.

The correct answer is “Detailed analysis of the nutrients from typical kitchen waste”. In order to convince the reader about the benefits of composting kitchen waste, the most relevant sentence to include in such research paper would be “Detailed analysis of the nutrients from typical kitchen waste”. This is because, this way, the writer would be presenting evidence of the study or research that is being carried out. The points made in the rest of the options (Information on how to construct a productive compositor system / Personal testimony from a family who composts 90 percent of their waste / Studies indicating an increase in home production of vegetables) would not be relevant to the research paper, since they present too broad examples of the topic.

A)Movie.Sanger Rainsford and his friend, Whitney, are traveling to the Amazon rainforest to hunt the region's big cat: the jaguar. After a discussion about how they are "the hunters" instead of "the hunted", Whitney goes to bed and Rainsford hears gunshots. He climbs onto the yacht's rail and accidentally falls overboard, swimming to Ship-Trap Island, which is notorious for shipwrecks. On the island, he finds a palatial chateau inhabited by two Cossacks: the owner, General Zaroff, and his gigantic deaf-mute servant, Ivan.

Zaroff, another big-game hunter, knows of Rainsford from his published account of hunting snow leopards in Tibet. After inviting him to dinner, General Zaroff tells Rainsford he is bored of hunting because it no longer challenges him; he has moved to Ship-Trap in order to capture shipwrecked sailors. Any captives who can elude Zaroff, Ivan, and a pack of hunting dogs for three days are set free. Zaroff reveals that no one has lasted that long, although a couple of sailors had come close. Zaroff also says that he offers sailors a "choice"; should they decline to be hunted they will be handed over to Ivan, who had once been official knouter for The Great White Czar. Rainsford denounces this as barbarism. Zaroff reacts in a cosmopolitan manner that "life is for the strong". Realizing he has no way out, Rainsford reluctantly agrees to be hunted.

During his three-hour head start, Rainsford lays an intricate trail in the forest and then climbs a tree. Zaroff finds him easily, but decides to play with him like a cat would a mouse, standing underneath the tree Rainsford is hiding in, smoking a cigarette, and then abruptly departing. After the failed attempt at eluding Zaroff, Rainsford builds a Malay man-catcher, a weighted log attached to a trigger. This contraption injures Zaroff's shoulder, causing him to return home for the night. The next day Rainsford creates a Burmese tiger pit, which kills one of Zaroff's hounds. He sacrifices his knife and ties it to a sapling to make a Ugandan knife trap; Ivan is killed when he stumbles into this trap and the knife plunges into his heart. To escape Zaroff and his approaching hounds, Rainsford dives off a cliff into the sea; Zaroff, disappointed at Rainsford's apparent death, returns home.

Zaroff locks himself in his bedroom and turns on the lights only to find Rainsford waiting for him; he had swum around the island in order to sneak into the chateau without the dogs finding him. Zaroff congratulates him on winning the "game", but Rainsford decides to fight him, saying he is still a beast-at-bay and that the original hunt is not over. Accepting the challenge, Zaroff says that the loser will be fed to the dogs, while the winner will sleep in his bed. Though the ensuing fight is not described, the story ends with Rainsford observing that "he had never slept in a better bed"—implying that he defeated and killed Zaroff.

In Act II, Scene 2, after he murders Duncan, Macbeth asks, "Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood / Clean from my hand?" Neptune was the Roman god of the sea. How does this allusion to Neptune affect the play? It reveals the great depth of Macbeth's guilt, suggesting that all the water in the ocean cannot cleanse him of it. It reveals that Macbeth is highly educated, a trait that will serve him well when he assumes the Scottish throne. It indicates that Macbeth is delusional, imagining blood on his hands where there is none. It suggests that Macbeth views Duncan as a figure of great power, one whose death he cannot comprehend.

Answers

It reveals the great depth of Macbeth's guilt, suggesting that all the water in the ocean cannot cleanse him of it.

Macbeth raises this question after he has killed Duncan. Therefore, he figuratively has "blood on his hands". This is a figure of speech that indicates someone is guilty of murder. Water often symbolizes purity or a cleansing. When people are baptized, they are covered in water to symbolize the washing away of sins. In Macbeth's question, he reveals that he may not be cleansed or forgiven for his sin of murder.

B) His travels were sometimes in lands never before visited by Europeans; so he had many unique adventures with the almost unknown tribes of Asia. C) His travels were sometimes in lands never before visited by Europeans: so he had many unique adventures, with the almost unknown tribes of Asia. D) His travels were sometimes in lands never before visited by Europeans, so, he had, many unique adventures with the almost unknown tribes of Asia.

Answers

Answer:

A) His travels were sometimes in lands never before visited by Europeans; he had many unique adventures with the almost unknown tribes of Asia.

Explanation:

Option A is the correct answer because here the two sentences are correctly linked with a semicolon. Semicolons are used to link two independent clauses closely related to each other that are not linked with a conjunction such as and, but, or, nor, for, yet, or so. In the sentence, the first clause His travels were sometimes in lands never before visited by Europeans and the second one he had many unique adventures with the almost unknown tribes of Asia have closely related ideas, so either a conjunction or a semicolon (not both at the same time) are suitable to join the clauses.

Answer:

A) His travels were sometimes in lands never before visited by Europeans; he had many unique adventures with the almost unknown tribes of Asia.

You should give yourself a few minutes at first to outline using bullet points, but spend most of your time writing your essay.


Outlining is smart for an essay for school but not for a timed test essay.


Your outline should include every detail you plan to include in your essay.

Answers

Final answer:

In a timed essay, allotting a few minutes for drawing up a basic outline, consisting of main bullet points, before commencing writing is a suitable approach. The outline aids in organizing thoughts and prevents missing out on critical argument points. It is not necessary to include every detail in your outline.

Explanation:

The best approach for outlining a timed essay is to allocate a few minutes to sketching a quick outline at the onset, but primarily focus on the writing process. The statement, 'You should give yourself a few minutes at first to outline using bullet points, but spend most of your time writing your essay' is the correct approach. An outline for a timed essay usually involves listing main points and sub-points briefly, and does not necessarily require including every detail.

Allocating half of your time solely for outlining or thinking that outlining isn’t helpful for a timed essay is erroneous. An outline actually comes in handy as it helps organize thoughts and ensures that no vital point is left out while writing under the pressure of time.

b. To present the ideas of the Founding Fathers in a way women can understand
c. To create a new document to replace the original Declaration of Independence
d. To question the reasons why the original Declaration of Independence was written

Answers

I believe the answer is ,

A. To use the words of the founding fathers to argue equal treatment of women.

Final answer:

The "Women's Declaration of Independence," or the Declaration of Sentiments, was crafted to argue for the equal treatment of women by paralleling the original Declaration of Independence. It called for social and legal equality, including the right to vote, and is regarded as an essential document in the history of women's rights.

Explanation:

The purpose of the "Women's Declaration of Independence," also known as the Declaration of Sentiments, was a. To use the words of the Founding Fathers to argue for equal treatment of women. Crafted in 1848, the Declaration of Sentiments echoed the Declaration of Independence, using its structure and language to highlight the discrepancies between the ideals of liberty and equality and the reality of women's lives in America at the time. It was a powerful assertion of women's rights and a call for legal and social equality.

Held during the Seneca Falls Convention, led by activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others, the document boldly proclaimed that women deserved the same rights as men, including the right to vote. It listed grievances related to women's lack of access to education and employment, representation, and their subordinate status in society. By paralleling the original Declaration, it effectively highlighted the incongruence of a nation founded on equality while half its population was denied basic rights.

History teachers consider this as important a document as the original Declaration, recommending its teaching concurrently to show its significance as a voice of resistance and a demand for equality. Notably, men like Frederick Douglass supported the movement, recognizing the justice in women's demands.

How does the allegory in The Alchemist develop the theme that all beings are connected?


Santiago learns to communicate with many people in the desert without words.


The boy dreams that two hawks battle one another and learns the power of omens.


In the desert, the boy learns from the Englishman’s books about alchemy and the Philosopher’s Stone.


In a surprising twist, Santiago learns that his treasure was located in Spain—not under the pyramids.





























Answers

The allegory in The Alchemist developed the theme that all beings are connected since Santiago learns to communicate with many people in the desert without words. Option A is correct.

An allegory is a literary device which refers to a metaphor in which a character, place or event is employed in order to to convey a broader message about real-world issues and occurrences. Allegory has occurred widely throughout history in all forms of art, largely because it can readily portay or convey complex ideas and concepts.

Final answer:

In 'The Alchemist', the theme of interconnectedness of all beings is developed through Santiago's experiences which include learning non-verbal communication, understanding omens in dreams, absorbing knowledge about alchemy, and realizing that his treasure was in Spain all along. These allegorical elements reveal recurring patterns symbolizing universal interconnection.

Explanation:

The allegory in The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho develops the theme that all beings are connected mainly through the journey of the protagonist, Santiago. The instances of Santiago learning to communicate without words, understanding the power of omens through his dreams, and discovering alchemical theory from the Englishman's books all act as allegories to highlight the interconnection of all entities. The unexpected twist of finding his treasure back home in Spain rather than under the pyramids reflects the philosophical assertion that 'everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time', symbolizing recurring patterns throughout life and the universe, thus showing interconnectedness.

E.show the speaker's loss through lack of meter.

Answers

The shift in syntax in lines 9–11 is likely designed to B. mimic the fleeting nature of thoughts with informal open form poetry.

In the poem "LXV [Once, I knew a fine song]" by Stephen Crane, the shift in syntax from the longer lines 1–3 to the shorter and more fragmented lines 9–11 serves a crucial role in conveying the thematic elements of loss and transience.

The sudden change mirrors the rapid dispersal of the birds held by the speaker, creating a visual and auditory impact akin to the swift flight of thoughts. The use of informal and open form poetry in this section captures the elusive and unpredictable nature of the escaping "little thoughts."

The syntactic shift effectively mirrors the essence of the poem, emphasizing the transient, uncontrollable, and ephemeral quality of fleeting ideas. This intentional disruption in the structure contributes to the poignant portrayal of the speaker's attempt to grasp and retain these elusive thoughts, ultimately emphasizing their fleeting and elusive nature.

In the book 1984, find a quotation that explains the callousness with which people are treated and why the Party acts as it does.

Answers

iAnswer:

"This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building. (1.4.2)"

Explanation:

The reason why the party acts in this way in this quote is that The Party seeks to control the present by mandating the destruction of all records of the past through "memory holes."

Final answer:

A quotation from '1984' reflects the harsh treatment of citizens by The Party and its manipulation of truth to maintain control mirrors Marx's views in 'Das Kapital', where the ruling class exploits weaker sections of society for personal gains.

Explanation:

In George Orwell's novel '1984', a quotation that represents the callousness of The Party, and its motives can be found in Part 1, Chapter 7: 'Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.' This quote reflects The Party's harsh treatment of its citizens and its manipulation of history to maintain power and control. Its motivations echo those highlighted by Marx in 'Das Kapital', where the bourgeoisie utilizes their power and resources to exploit the proletariat in an unfair process. Similarly, in '1984', the ruling Party exploited its power and manipulated truths to oppress the populace and keep itself in authority. Essentially, both The Party in '1984' and the bourgeoisie in Marx's representation serve as authoritarian figures who take advantage of vulnerable societal groups for their objectives.

If this poem were written in a closed form the parallels between form and subject would increase. The shifting meter emphasizes the erratic behavior of the birds describes the relationship between meaning and meter in this poem. The correct options are e, c, c, and a respectively.

What is poetry?

Poetry is a type of literature that uses a concentrated, lyrical arrangement of words to convey a thought, describe a scene, or tell a story.

Poems can be structured using rhyming lines and metre, which refers to the rhythm and emphasis of a line based on syllable beats.

Because closed form poetry has a set structure and rhyme scheme, the poet will most likely use this structure to reflect the poem's theme or subject.

A closed form structure could emphasise the concept of containment and release in this case, paralleling the speaker's experience with the birds.

The poem's shifting metre, which alternates between iambic and anapestic metre, mimics the erratic flight of the birds. The shifting metre creates an irregular rhythm that reflects the chaos of the birds' flight.

In lines 4-5, the poet employs half rhyme with the words "basket" and "laughed." Although the two words do not have the same ending sound, they do share some similar sounds, resulting in partial rhyme.

The sound devices in lines 4-6, including onomatopoeia like "wicket" and "flew," contribute to the reader's vivid and immersive experience.

The poet brings the reader closer to the action and makes them feel more present in the moment by using words that mimic the sounds of birds and the opening of the basket.

Thus, the correct options are e, c, c, and a respectively.

How do you understand the following quote: We are a movement of plain people, very weak in the manner and culture, intellectual support, and trained leadership. We are demanding, and we expect to win, a return of power into the hands of the everyday, not highly cultured, not overly intellectualized, but entirely unspoiled and not be-Americanized, average citizen of the old stock. Our members and leaders are all of this class - the opposition of the intellectuals and liberals who held the leadership, betrayed Americanism, and from whom we expect to wrest control, is almost automatic.

Answers

Answer:

This is a political quote expressing conflict between the masses.

Explanation:

"A movement of plain people" - everyday citizens with something to say, yet we say it in many different ways.  We demand a need for leadership and want control, so fighting for what we want is a must no matter how uncivilized the fight may be.  This has nothing to do with intelligence because we all want control and think that we know best.

The quote describes a movement seeking to return power to the average American citizen and opposes an intellectual and liberal elite. The cited texts discuss the importance of active participation, collective action, and critical debate in challenging elite power and highlight historical moments when popular movements led to social and political reforms.

The quote you've provided alludes to a movement seeking to empower "plain people" or the average citizen, who may not be highly intellectual or cultured but are considered uncorrupted and true to old American values. This movement appears to oppose what they view as an intellectual and liberal elite that has gained control and allegedly strayed from traditional Americanism. The first part of your text focuses on how these beliefs could potentially incite despair or resignation when faced with an American political system perceived as dominated by elites and corporations. However, it encourages active engagement and collective action as a means to effect change, emphasizing the importance of public will and organization in challenging the status quo.

Following the theme of 'plain folks,' the tactic is used to describe how politicians or powerful figures might present themselves as relatable to the common man to gain trust and support. The use of populist imagery and rhetoric is commonplace in American politics. The text briefly discusses the leadership of Booker T. Washington and how his strategies and vision for African Americans have generated both support and criticism within his community. The narrative suggests that criticism and debate are necessary for the health of a democracy, even if they can lead to conflict.

Finally, the text explores individualism in American society and how it relates to political movements, like the Tea Party, which arose in opposition to big government and concentrated powers of elites. Collective action and using the democratic process, such as the power of the vote, are presented as viable ways to combat the influence of the few and effect positive change. This aligns with the broader historical context where public movements have resulted in significant social and political reforms.

What is the best definition you can infer for the word "restoration" from the excerpt above? bringing back to former position or condition re-establish monarchy replacement giving back

Answers

Answer:

A. bringing back to former position or condition

Explanation:

Answer:

The best answer seems indeed to be letter A) bringing back to former position of condition.

Explanation:

According to the paragraph, the Dust Bowl was the result of drought and over-farming. Farmers had to use the money in their bank accounts when they were no longer able to support themselves, which lead to bank failure. When president Roosevelt called for restoration, he was publicly promising the American people that things would go back to the way they were before the Dust bowl, that things would go back to their former condition. By restoring things, people would once again be able to provide their families, and the American economy would grow. Therefore, the best option for the connotation of "restoration" in this excerpt is letter A) bringing back to former position of condition.
