In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the character Hamlet reveals in a monologue that he is pretending to be mad. Concerned, the King and the Queen try to find out the reason behind Hamlet's unusual mood. The court adviser, Polonius, tries to help them by promising the King that he will find out the reason for Hamlet's behavior. Meanwhile, the other characters Gertrude, Claudius, and Ophelia try to cheer up Hamlet in their own way. Which description is an example of dramatic irony?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Only the audience knows that Hamlet is just acting like he is mad.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Ok so basically what is happening here is that Hamlet is pretending to be mad. The King and Queen are trying to find out why Hamlet is so mad, because he doesn't usually act this way. The court adviser, Polonius, promises to the King that he will find out why Hamlet is mad. Gertrude, Claudius, and Ophelia are trying to "snap Hamlet out of being mad."

Dramatic Irony means: the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

(B i n g)

Basically he is pretending to be mad and usually he's not.

From what I know, why he is doing this is unknown, but I think he is doing this for a "humorous effect" or just to be like, annoying or weird.

The part; "In Shakespeare's Hamlet, the character Hamlet reveals in a monologue that he is pretending to be mad. Concerned, the King and the Queen try to find out the reason behind Hamlet's unusual mood," shows that Hamlet is *pretending* to be mad, when he is usually not.

Choose an animal species that live in Antarctica. Using the Internet, research five interesting facts about the animal you choose. Describe what you learned. Be sure to include the website address where you learned the information about your animal species. P.S (should be approximately 20-25 lines)

Answers

Answer:

The animal chosen is penguins:

Penguins are birds, not mammals.They are acquatic animals, but they also live in land.Despite being birds, they cannot fly.They mostly live in Antarctica.One Penguin species lives north of the Equator, in the Galapagos Islands.Their diet is based on small fish, squids, and krill.Their wings are useless for air, but are extraordinary on water. This makes penguins very fast swimmers.Penguins have feathers to keep warm.Penguins look similar to the Great Auk, an extinct animal who lived in the Northern Hemisphere.One of the places with most penguins is the French island of Ile Aux Cochons, with a population of around 200,000 penguins.Their geological origin is in the Paleogene.Some of the countries with the largest penguin populations are: Chile, Argentina, Angola, Australia, and New Zealand.The largest penguin species is the Emperor Penguin.The shortest penguin species is the Little Blue Penguin.There are 18 species of penguins in total.The animal most closely related to the penguin is the albatross.Penguins actually slid on their belly through the snow for fast transportation.There was a unique penguin species in New Zealand, but it was driven to exctinction by the local populations.The penguin body is able to absorb sea water because it filters the salt out of it.Penguins fast when they lay eggs.

From the story “the story of an hour” by Kate Chopin pick 5 phases and briefly explain why you chose each

Answers

Answer:

Based on what you have provided, I have looked up the story and provided 5 things that I think are important or interesting....

Explanation:

Kate Chopin wrote about and lived in American in the 1890s.

Story listed in question:    Brenty Mallard has been killed in a railroad accident.  When Louise finds out, she locks herself in her room and falls apart.  

For some reason, she sees this as sad, but also as Freedom.  She wants to live by herself and depend only on herself.  

But did he really die?  Here is the cool part - He arrives at the door while she is coming out from falling apart.  He is not dead.  She is so shocked....she dies.  Dr. said it was heart disease.  Story reveals it as a joy that she was feeling - now doomed - she dies.  Chopin can relate to this and writes about it due to the fact that she wanted to take care of herself, but her husband really died in real life and she had to care for all of her children.  But could she really do it on her own?

Another interesting thing about her story is that Chopin was very aware of the divide between the powerful and the oppressed in her society.  She grew up during the Civil War.  She understood what slavery was and how violent it was.

Chopin became known for her beauty.  She had 7 kids in 9 years.  UG.  

Her now husband, Oscar, died of swamp fever in 1882.  Chopin was now in debt and had to take care of her family on her own.

Chopin wrote to support her family.  She was successful as a writer and wrote a lot of short stories and novels.  She literally wrote over 100 stories, articles, and various essays.

She finally passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage in 1904 and she was only 54.  

The country was in recession when she was writing.  Electric lights, radios, and new jobs were now available to people.  Work for women was still scarce.  Back then, if she would have worked when she was pregnant, this would have been considered bad in the society that she lived in.    

She believed that women should have freedom as individuals.  

She writes about freedom, repression, and marriage.  

When writing about repression, she wrote how she felt that women's thoughts and feelings were ignored.  Women were supposed to be gentle and passive - not her!

Louise, in the story, is a victim of this repression.  Please see the example I gave above in how she finally dies after her husband appears....

She did not want to live by societies rules any longer.  Remember that Louise did not die from being sad, but from realizing that she would not have the opportunity to be FREE.

You also need to remember that marriage back in those days was a means to control another person - man controls wife.  Marriage was supposed to keep women in line with what society thought they should be like.  Stay home, get pregnant, and live domestically - take care of the man.  

She really wanted to show that even though marriage had been made to control women in society, she wanted to be a part of a world where she was valued as a partner.  

Hope this helps....

It wouldn’t be the route the speaker took because he is already in the foyer. And it can’t be different people who used the library because he didn’t describe a single person in the whole poem. It almost looks like it could be how to look up a book because if you look at the first two lines, they could be used as landmarks to find your way to the card catalogue, but then he begins to describe other things which would make the “directions” just a bunch of gibberish about the library.

Answer:

answer is c

Explanation:

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

Nights and Dragons— From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne 1 I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts. 2 As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed. 3 I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. 4 With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way. 5 I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive. Which sentence from paragraph 4 makes an explicit statement without offering any implicit suggestions? With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals.
