Answer 1

Answer:

(a)Even before the sun rises and warms the sea, there are men at work, braving the elements. The fishermen — depending on whether the type of catch they want — set out in the middle of the night or very early in the morning. To catch fish with metal hooks suspended by nylon threads is what takes the longest, and this sees them travelling deep into the sea. But to get a catch using their nets they don't have to travel far. A ride in their motorised boats before sunrise will do. But there are also times when they go deep sea fishing in large boats stocked with food and water to help them survive 10 days at sea.

Once they are back in the morning, the boat is hauled to shore by the fishermen, who venture out in groups of four, sharing the burden, cost, profits and losses alike. There are days when they are blessed with plenty, but on other days they return empty-handed, with a loss of about Rs. 400 that they spend on diesel to fuel the motors.

The catch is removed from the nets and sorted according to the type — crabs, Red Snapper, Blue Fish, Butter Fish, Cat Fish, Mullet, Smelt, Salmon and more. The fishermen need to invest in 10 different types of nets depending on what they plan to catch, with the most expensive net costing around Rs.1 lakh, and each weighing between five kilos and 400 kilos.

Once sorted, the fishermen's wives sell the fish in the market. Fishermen also sell to vendors depending on the best price offered and the vendors in turn sell them at the market.

In the evenings, the fishermen are free to relax, watch TV, spend time with family and catch up on gossip over mending nets and preparing for the next day.

While it is a profession filled with uncertainty, also uncertain is the future of this profession. Many fishermen send their children to school and want them to hold other jobs in fields like software and teaching. They say that they do not want their children to struggle as they do and want a better life for them, leaving the future of this sea-dependent occupation in question.

What is a sentence?

A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought, idea, or proposition. It typically consists of a subject, which is the main noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, and a predicate, which includes the verb and any objects or complements that follow it. A sentence can be simple, consisting of just one independent clause, or it can be complex, with multiple clauses and phrases. In written English, sentences are typically punctuated with a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop, question mark, or exclamation mark at the end.

Here in the Question,

The play's creator is dissatisfied in the audience's response and believes that they were uninterested in the play.

1. Why do writers make particular choices when composing a text? 2. How does the interaction between a reader and a text create meaning? 3. What does it mean to be a stranger in a village?

Answers

1. Why do writers make particular choices when composing a text?

The creation of a text is not always a straightforward process. Moreover, it is a process that looks different for every individual. Therefore, this process involves making choices in order to include some things in a text, and not others. A writer has to choose the type of words he wants to use, the tone he wants to convey, the characters that he wants to present, etc. The author's main concern is to get an idea across that the audience can understand, while keeping them interested and entertained. In order to do this, it is important that the author tailors his content to a specific type of audience.

2. How does the interaction between a reader and a text create meaning?

When an author finishes a text, he is only aware of what the text appears like to him. However, this is not enough. The text also needs to be understandable and entertaining to a greater audience. When the reader interacts with the text, some aspects of it will resonate with him, while some others will appear to be superfluous or boring. As the reader reads, he interprets the text in a way that is slightly different to that of the author. Through this process, new meanings in the text can be found.

3. What does it mean to be a stranger in a village?

In "Stranger in the Village," James Baldwin describes his experiences in a Swiss village. He tells us that, when he arrived to the village, he was regarded with interest. People had never seen a person of colour before, and they were intrigued. Even as he spent more time in the village, and even after he came back a second time, people still saw him with interest, suspicion, confusion or curiosity. He was never allowed to exist as just another person in the village. Baldwin refers to himself as a "stranger in a village" because the interactions he had with people always kept him as an outsider, and not as just another member of the community.

Money is something we all take for granted in our lives. Some of us may wish we had more of it but we all recognize it when we see it, whether in the form of coins, notes or cheques. It is difficult to imagine how people managed without money. In the earliest periods of human history, people used to exchange goods directly. They would exchange things they had plenty of for things that they were in need of. For example, they might offer food for tools. This method of exchange, which is known as “barter”, has many disadvantages. Certain goods may be difficult to carry, they may not last long, or may be impossible to divide into smaller units. It can also be difficult to know the worth of something compared with other goods.

According to historians, the first money, in the sense we understand it today, consisted of gold coins produced about 2,500 years ago. Gold, being a very precious metal, was a suitable material. The introduction of gold coins was acceptable to everyone and they were still being used at the beginning of this century, although they have now been replaced by paper money and coins made of ordinary metals.

1. In the old days, people exchanged………..

A. what they needed for what they had B. food for tools

C. what they had for what they needed D. goods for money

2. “barter” is a system of exchange in which ………

A. food is exchanged for tools B. no money is used

C. money is used to buy things D. goods are difficult to carry

In 300 words or less, identify a major event in the plot, and explain why it is important to Sanger Rainsford's internal
journey


PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Sanger Rainsford is the main character in Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game." From the beginning of the short story until its ending, Rainsford endures hardship that is bound to make him grow and develop as a person. His internal journey, his change as a human being, is certainly affected by external events, the most important one originating with his meeting General Zaroff.

At the beginning of the story, Rainsford is quite the arrogant hunter. He reveals in a dialog his lack of empathy for his prey. Rainsford thinks the world can be divided into hunters and huntees, and that he is lucky to belong to the former instead of the latter. The huntees, according to his philosophy, do not really deserve any pity or sympathy. This is just how life goes.

However, Rainsford ends in Zaroff's private island only to find out what it feels like to be the huntee. The general is also a hunter who, very much like Rainsford himself, does not believe in empathizing with his prey. There is a catch in his philosophy, though. General Zaroff believes that applies to hunting men. He has grown tired of hunting irrational beasts and, looking for a more thrilling challenge, he has begun hunting human beings like himself.

Zaroff invites Rainsford to hunt alongside him, but Rainsford refuses, calling it murder. The general decides then to hunt Rainsford instead. Upon becoming the prey, Rainsford's internal journey is suddenly veered to a completely different path. He can no longer be the arrogant hunter he once was. He now understands the fear, the desperation that the animals he has hunted have felt. Facing death inevitably brings with it the instinctive wish to survive. No matter if rational or irrational, every living being in the world wishes to avoid death and remain alive. Rainsford is similar to any other animal.

Which details of Beatty's account of firemen make it credible/incredible? Is his account a history or simply a fable meant to influence Montag's behavior?

Answers

Beatty presents real facts about society, which Montag can recognize as true. This makes his speech believable, but he manipulates the information in the speech to influence Montag's behavior.

According to the context of the question, we can see that you are referring to the book "Fahrenheit 451" where we are introduced to a society where books are banned and burned by firefighters.

Montag is one of those firefighters, but after having access to a few books, he begins to question whether his profession acts correctly and whether books, in fact, need to be banned and burned.

Upon realizing this, Captain Beatty, who is the captain of the firehouse to which Montag is a part, gives a long speech, showing why the books were burned and how the firefighters' work began.

Beatty shows that books allowed people to perceive their realities, have ideas, feel sad about situations they cannot change and contend with each other because of different ideas.

He says that the thinking triggered by the books made people unhappy and that was socially disadvantageous. For that reason, the work of firefighters is so important.

Montag recognizes that books are capable of providing questions and interpretations of reality that do not always develop happiness and, therefore, realizes that Beatty's speech is believable.

However Beautty manipulates the information in the speech, without showing that through books society has knowledge and freedom and these are the main basements of happiness. This manipulation is done to influence Montag to behave in favor of firefighters and against books.
