In "The Story-Teller," why are the children delighted when the bachelor describes Bertha as “horribly good”? They find the choice of words to be unexpected and surprising. They want the bachelor to keep telling the story. The children like stories about horrible children. The children hope something bad happens to Bertha.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

They find the choice of words to be unexpected and surprising.

Explanation:

In the story "The Story-Teller", H.H Munro presents a picture of the reality and wants of the children. The children in the story want to listen about reality and not about the superficial world.

The story told by the aunt was boring and about the expectation that society wants from the children. The children lacked interest in such stories because of the representation of the main character. When the bachelor told the story about Bertha and described her to be 'horribly good', the children gained the interest in the story. The description brought a different view about the girl and brought surprise in her characterization.

Answer 2

1. RL1,2 An inference is a logical conclusion based on clues in the text and on the reader's own experience. Reread lines 2-6 of the poem and infer what happened, citing evidence from the text to support your inference.


2. RL2 poets often use figurative language, or language that has meaning beyond the literal meaning of words, to convey underlying themes or messages. Identify the event described by the simile, a comparison using like or as, on line 12, and then explain the idea the simile suggests.


3. RL2 Personification, which gives human attributes or qualities to an object or idea, is another type of figurative language. Reread line 22 and explain why the line is an example of personification. From this personification, what can we infer about the subject?


4. RL1,5 Authors choose their words carefully to create a tone or mood. Authors can use images, descriptions, and rhythms to do this. In what two ways is water described? Cite examples of descriptive words or phrases for water and compare them. What effect does this have on the mood of the poem?


5. Discuss: What does the fate of the hawk reflect on nature, if at all? Cite specific evidence from the text to support your ideas.


6. Summarize: Review what is explicitly said on lines 1-14 and write a short summary (1-3 sentences) of what the speaker describes. How does the image created in these lines affect the mood or emotion of the poem?


7. Infer: Use clues from the text to infer what happened to the hawk. Why is this unexpected?


8. Analyze: Words and phrases that describe how things look, feel, sound, taste, or smell are called sensory details. Write down the sensory details on lines 15-23. How do these details help engage readers in the poem?


9. Interpret: Explain what lines 22-23 mean: "and water is never lonely, / contains so many". Support your interpretation with evidence from other lines.


10. Analyze: Review the supplication and promise of water at the end of the poem (lines 24-32). What does the water want? What does it offer?


11. Interpret: A symbol is something that represents or represents something beyond itself. Review the descriptions of the water in the poem. What does the water symbolize?

Wiesle refers to bodies or simply dead. How does his diction shape the reader's understanding of the horror

Answers

Answer:

Elie Wiesel refers to the dead as "bodies" to show how dehumanized they've become, not worthy of being called or even referred to a "human or people" or a sensible normal human being. It may also be his way of indirectly referring to the treatment the officers gave them.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's autobiographical memoir "Night" recounts his life during the German Nazi's discrimination against the Jews. The resulting horrors of the Holocaust remain one of the most gruesome genocides in the history of the world.

In his description of how the Jews were transported from Auschwitz to Buchenwald, Wiesel narrates how many died on the train journey between the two concentration camps. He recounts how these "dead bodies" were discarded from the train "like a sack of flour". By referring to the dead as bodies, it shows how they were dehumanized, not even considered "human" or "people". To the officers, it seems like they are just simply living beings that had died and done, Jews as being lesser than humans, etc. The reference shows the low status of the Jews in the eyes of the officers. It shows the dehumanized nature or treatment of the Jews.

3.

Answers

Answer:

1. Creative.

2. Angry.

3. Dissatisfied.

Explanation:

The myth "When Grizzlies Walked Upright" is a legendary myth about the creation of the world. This creation myth also specifies how the Indians and the grizzlies came to be.

According to the myth, the Chief of the Sky Spirits created the earth and the animals from his "giant stick". But one event where the youngest daughter was taken by the Wind Spirit and taken away from her home led to her being adopted by the grizzlies, who till that time were walking on two feet like humans. Eventually, she married one of the grizzlies and had offsprings. When the Chief of the Sky saw the offsprings that look like "strange creatures [...] A new race had been created that was not of his making!", he got furious and cursed the whole race. This was what led to the grizzlies walking on all fours and also the "strange creatures" were the first Indians.

Thus, we can describe the Chief of the Sky Spirits as someone who is a creative, but angry and dissatisfied with what his daughter had brought upon him.

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

Firebrands were hard to keep lit.

Nature provided fire to early humans.
