Can someone please link the Theory of Tabula Rasa to Christmas Carol?
Blank Slate :
People are born with nothing and the actions that are learnt are brought by people around them
The Theory of Tabula Rasa, also known as the blank slate theory, is a philosophical concept that suggests individuals are born with a mind that is like a blank slate, devoid of innate ideas, knowledge, or preconceived notions. According to this theory, human behavior and personality are shaped primarily by experiences, environment, and external influences.
The link between the Theory of Tabula Rasa and "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens can be seen in the transformation of the main character, Ebenezer Scrooge. At the beginning of the story, Scrooge is portrayed as a cold-hearted and miserly individual who is solely focused on his own financial gain. He shows no empathy or concern for the welfare of others and is dismissive of the Christmas spirit.
As the story unfolds, Scrooge is visited by three spirits – the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. These supernatural encounters expose Scrooge to his past, present circumstances, and potential future. Through these experiences, Scrooge undergoes a profound change in his personality and behavior.
The Theory of Tabula Rasa is exemplified in Scrooge's character development. The spirits act as external influences that challenge Scrooge's deeply ingrained beliefs and attitudes, gradually reshaping his perspective on life. As he confronts his past and witnesses the impact of his actions on others, Scrooge's "blank slate" begins to be written upon with new understanding and empathy.
By the end of the story, Scrooge has transformed into a compassionate, generous, and caring individual. He embraces the Christmas spirit, seeks to right his past wrongs, and becomes a symbol of redemption and change. The story of "A Christmas Carol" highlights the potential for personal growth and transformation when one's mind is open to new experiences and influences, aligning with the concept of the Theory of Tabula Rasa.

Part III:
What is the overall tone of the scene?
In a response of at least five sentences:
identify the tone (one or two) in the scene
use examples of words from the text to support your reasoning
use examples from the clip to support your reasoning. Things to consider: facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, sets, props, and lighting
be sure to mention the tone, the play, the scene number, and the author in the topic sentence
However, when I watched the third interpretation, the clip, I was able to pick up on other clues that I hadn’t been able to before. When Lady Macbeth speaks, her voice is not mousy, nor does she choke. She speaks with confidence and with a sharp tone - almost.
In the video, as Lady Macbeth talks, she moves her hands. These exaggerated hand gestures seem to put an emphasis on her words. And at one point, she wraps her arms around Macbeth’s neck and looks deep into his face. It’s done in a very dramatic way.
All of this combined gives the impression that Lady Macbeth is very passionate about wanting her husband to go through with the plan - which is to kill Duncan.
Step 1: Character Interpretation
Earlier in this lesson you read
two different interpretations of a scene featuring Lady Macbeth. You were asked to view a stage performance of the same scene in order to answer this question: How does this interpretation compare to the others? In a response of at least five sentences, comment on the stage interpretation and explain your impression of Lady Macbeth in this scene. Use specific examples from the clip to support your answer. Things to consider: her facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice.
When reading the first two interpretations, I was able to pick out pieces from the text that helped me develop a sense of the kind of person Lady Macbeth is. Lady Macbeth says, “Your face, my thane, is as a book where men may read strange matters. To beguile the time, look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue.” Lady Macbeth is telling her husband he’s like an open book; he’s very easy to read and she advices him to look innocent (as a flower) and keep his cruel intentions tucked inside.

This passage is considered a turning point for Hamlet: he is watching that lots of men will die for fighting for a piece of territory while he that has a lot of reason to fight (because he has a father killed and a mother stained) does nothing at all so that he decides to take revenge.

People should be able to read specific types of books. Over the globe people have been picking out and reading varieties of novels. People have the right to choose certain books to read.

Read the excerpt from chapter 3 of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
"You know I never approved of it,” pursued Utterson, ruthlessly disregarding the fresh topic.
"My will? Yes, certainly, I know that,” said the doctor, a trifle sharply. "You have told me so.
"Well, I tell you so again,” continued the lawyer. "I have been learning something of young Hyde.”
The large handsome face of Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. "I do not care to hear more,” said he. "This is a matter I thought we had agreed to drop.”
What part of this excerpt reveals the conflict of character vs. self?
The fact that Dr. Jekyll tells Mr. Utterson that this is “a matter I thought we agreed to drop” suggests guilt within himself.
The fact that Dr. Jekyll “grew pale to the very lips” and developed “a blackness around the eyes” suggests turmoil within himself.
The fact that Mr. Utterson tells Dr. Jekyll that he has “been learning something of young Hyde” suggests curiosity within himself.
The fact that Mr. Utterson “ruthlessly” ignored a change of topic and “pursued” that of Mr. Hyde suggests remorse within himself.
B - The fact that Dr. Jekyll 'grew pale to the very lips' and developed 'a blackness around the eyes' suggests turmoil within himself and there is a conflict of character vs. self.
Dr. Jekyll' physical changes in option b indicate he is feeling uneasiness (or turmoil) within himself and is showing it on his face.
Answer: B) The fact that Dr. Jekyll “grew pale to the very lips” and developed “a blackness around the eyes” suggests turmoil within himself.
Explanation: in literature, a conflict is a struggle between opposite forces, usually between a character (the main character or a very important one) and himself (internal conflict), society or another character (external conflict). In the given excerpt we can see that the fact that Dr. Jekyll grew pale to the lips and show a blackness around the eyes show that he is conflicted about what Utterson is saying, so it shows an internal conflict.

Examining text through multiple perspectives deepens understanding by enhancing comprehension, expanding interpretations, and including various cultural and historical contexts.
Explanation:An examination of text through multiple perspectives can significantly affect understanding by enhancing comprehension and inviting broader interpretations. When analyzing text, students dive into an ongoing conversation with the material. They operate not only at a literal level, considering what the author said, but also explore deeper levels of comprehension such as historical contexts, cultural significance, and personal responses. By exploring a text through different perspectives, individuals recognize that their comprehension is influenced by their own biases and experiences. This realization opens up the potential for new knowledge, as examining a text within its historical, biographical, and cultural contexts provides a richer understanding than a single perspective could achieve. Furthermore, the practice of contextualizing text aids readers in considering how the majority of texts, having been written in the past, may convey values and attitudes different from their contemporary views.

List three things from the article that discussed what can go wrong in the communication process.
Who, whom, which, and what are _______ pronouns. A. Only interrogative B. Reflexive C. Relative and interrogative D. Only relative
They are relative and interrogative pronouns. It just depends on their place in the sentence. If they are written in the beginning of a sentence and directly related to the question issue, they are in position of an interrogative pronoun.
Example: Who is that lady?
But, if they are inside a sentence, creating a relation with a previous spoken noun, they are relative pronouns.
Example: That lady, who has got a brown dog, is my new neighbour.
The pronouns 'who,' 'whom,' 'which,' and 'what' are both relative and interrogative pronouns. They serve to introduce relative clauses or to form questions, respectively. Recognize that 'whom,' the object form of 'who,' is considered archaic but still used formally.
The pronouns who, whom, which, and what are categorized as both relative and interrogative pronouns. As relative pronouns, they introduce relative clauses and provide additional information about the subject or object of a sentence. For example, 'The person who called you is my friend.' When used as interrogative pronouns, they are utilized to form questions. For instance, 'What is your name?' or 'Who is at the door?'
These pronouns can be tricky because they fit into more than one category depending on their function in a sentence. It's important to recognize that while whom is the object form of who and is still used in formal writing, it is becoming less common in modern English usage.
