In Vreeland’s short story "Magdalena Looking" you learn about Magdalena, her life and characteristics, and the background of the story through her (Magdalena) wishes. Please LIST each of her wishes and explain what you have learnt about her and the story’s background from those wishes

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Magdalena wishes not to have to take care of her brothers but to be free to paint. She wants to be cherished by her father. She wants to paint like her father. She wants to spend more time with her father.

Explanation:

When we know Magdalena's wishes, we realize that this story is based on the lack of independence that women had in years ago. That's because Magdalena has a strong desire to be a painter, but the time she lives limits women to housework, making her parents not give her permission to paint. We also have as a background the idea that male children were valued, since Magdalena cannot spend much time with her father, as she must stay at home helping her mother to take care of the children.

By reading Magdalena's wishes, I could see how cruel society is to women, suppressing their wishes because of social standards that oppress them and prevent them from reaching goals.

Although you have not put the excerpt to which the question refers, I can help you by showing you how Beowulf presents an overview of the Anglo-Saxon worldview and culture.

In the epic poem Beowul we can perceive a worldview in contrast to the one we have now. While we see nature as a place of peace and tranquility, the Anglo-Saxons had nature as a dark and dangerous place. For them, it was in nature that they found very powerful and cruel monsters, like Grendel. These monsters were always willing to attack deconcentrated humans who entered their territory, for this reason, they had a strong concern with entering into nature, fearing being attacked by monsters.

In contrast, the Anglo-Saxons saw domestic environments as safe. This can be seen from the representation of the mead hall in Beowul. The hall show characteristics that Anglo-Saxons saw as favorable and safe, such as wealth, security, good food, good games, community, protection and hospitality. For Anglo-Saxons these factors were not found in nature, because they were not part of a hostile and dangerous environment.

(P. 45) How did Beowulf introduce himself as a warrior soldiers? Use at least 3 describing words and support with a quotation.(50-60 words) (Beowulf)

Answers

Answer:

Beowulf presents himself as a loyal, strong and honorable warrior who submitted himself to the service of the Da*ish people in the name of peace and prosperity. He also says that he was chosen by the Getas to kill the enemy of the Da*ish, that he has already killed countless beasts and that his only defeats were due to the intervention of sea monsters.

A part of Beowulf's presentation is "" I, here, never say / that I am, in the power of struggle, superior / to Grendel - nor in exploits of war. / I am not coming to leave you lifeless / with this sword mine, although that I / could. "

Explanation:

Beowulf is an Anglo-Saxon poem and tells the story of the warrior Beowulf who uses his supernatural strength to defeat the monster Grendel and bring peace to the Da*ish people.

Beowulf is an epic hero and as such has great strength, beauty, loyalty, honor, masculinity and an intense courage to defeat any enemy. These were characteristics much appreciated by the Anglo-Saxon people which shows that the poem reveals much of the culture of that time.

The following passage (paragraph 3) mainly suggests that .

Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded—with what caution—with what foresight—with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night about midnight I turned the latch of his door and opened it—oh, so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern all closed, closed so that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly—very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha!—would a madman have been so wise as this? And then when my head was well in the room I undid the lantern cautiously— oh, so cautiously— cautiously (for the hinges creaked)—I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this I did for seven long nights—every night just at midnight—but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye. And every morning, when the day broke, I went boldly into the chamber, and spoke courageously to him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the night. So you see he would have been a very profound old man, indeed, to suspect that every night, just at twelve, I looked in upon him while he slept.

How does the author develop the idea that relying on nature was problematic? Please respond in three to five complete sentences, using evidence from the text to support your answer. (5 points)

Incomplete question. Here's the full text:

By S. E. Forman

1911

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.

How does the author convince readers that the match was "the most wonderful thing in the world"? Please respond in three to five complete sentences, using evidence from the text to support your answer.

Explanation:

We note the author's intriguing statement at the outset when he said "that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make" a match.

Also, he further highlighted how problematic it was to depend on nature when he said "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".

To express the problems further, the author also says that they would have to guard the fire but the fire would still go out sometimes and then they would have to go on long and difficult journeys.

Answer:

The author is trying to develop that relying on nature was problematic by stating that fire was first given to man by nature when mother nature made a forest light on fire. After that, humans would try to recreate that and that was very dangerous. They would try and to put a piece of wood in a flame kindled by nature.

I found this very excited that we will not talk about any photograph or video during our trip and discuss it after our return. So we all explored and enjoyed our trip. As soon as we returned back we organize a small gathering for photosharing.  Therefore, I was the first to share all my memories through photos and videos. Everyone appreciated my photos which made me happy. But by the time others began sharing their photos I felt so embarrassed because there were some very embarrassing pictures of mine. I tried to dance for the first time on this trip and my friends clicked my photo in a snake pose with a goggle and they called me a modern snake. My other friend captured a moment when I fell from the stairs like a ball. I left the gathering by making an excuse. I have never been so embarrassed before.
