Explanation:

Find some examples of discrimination in the book "The catcher in the rye" and state the text

Answers

Explanation:

Helen Frangedis is a high school teacher that always includes The Catcher in the Rye in her course syllabus for the year. Parents are always concerned about the book because of the profanity, drug and alcohol references, and “loose moral codes”. When presented with these concerns, Frangedis states that there is a deeper meaning in the book and the students have the challenge of finding it. She addresses her audience of parents with good reasons of reading and analyzing the book, while understanding their concerns.

Frangedis’s article focuses entirely on J. D. Salenger’s writing style. Salenger greatly exaggerates Holden, his issues, and society throughout the book and that leads to all of the profanity and drug/alcohol references. With his writing style, people began to notice, read, and criticize “The Catcher in the Rye,” all because of one reason; Salenger’s exaggerating writing style. Society always pays attention to the bigger, more exaggerated, stunning news. For example, people will pay more attention to the semi-truck that flipped over than the car that hit a pole. The reason is simple. Watching the truck flip over is more stunning and impressive than a car hit something. The same goes for “The Catcher in the Rye”. People will read a book that is full of drugs, cursing, and drinking over the book that is nice, short, and sweet. Knowing who society is and how it works, Salenger wrote a book that not only goes against society, but separates him from all other authors.

Who is the story about? Who else is included in the story? Why does the main character act a certain way? the story is: "A Retrieved Reformation"

Answers

Answer:

This story is set in the American Midwest during the early 1900s.  

Jimmy Valentine is a skilled safe-cracker and does time in prison.  He is allowed to go back into society when he is paroled.  The main characters are as follows:  Jimmy Valentine, Mike Dolan - his partner in crime, Jimmy's love of his life - Annabel Adams.  Annabel's family is also a part of the story.  

In the beginning, the warden reminds Jimmy that he is not a bad person, just that he has a bad habit of cracking safes.  He goes to his friends  - which is in a hotel - and finds his stashed tools that he used to use to crack safes.  Jimmy wants to rob another bank, but he sees a girl and falls in love.  Yep, that quick!  He lies about his name and is accepted into his love's family.  Would you believe that Annabel is the banker's daughter???  Story goes on as Agatha is locked in the safe.  She is going to run out of air and die.  Oh, but who will be able to save her?  

This story is really about how a person can change - but how Jimmy - who wanted to change, has his past catch up with him.  He starts robbing again.  Love can change people.  The irony in the story is that he is able to forget that he is a robber/burgler - due to the love of Annabel.  But, remember that she is the banker's daughter and this puts Jimmy right where he can rob again.  

Hope this helps.

Explanation:

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:

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

Explanation:

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.

what is the body paragraph for the stranger that came to town

Answers

Answer:

“The Strangers that Came to Town”

“The Strangers that Came to Town” is a short story by Ambrose Flack that is about a family that moves in a new neighborhood, but has trouble adapting or being accepted as actual citizens. But as time went on, they eventually find their place in the new town. The kids make friends, and the family lives happy.  From the events that happen in the story, this paper will be explaining why the theme is to not judge a book by its cover.

The first reason why is how the Duvitch kids actually acted compared to what people thought. At first, they were really sweet, but the other people did not notice that. The kids helped the family unpack and they never spoke out. However, the kids were thought to be mean and horrible because of their clothes and food. Being judged like this, the kids never made friends. Later as time went on, and after the fish incident, people started to realize that they were not bad kids.

The second point is how the neighbor’s kindness helps elevate the Duvitch family. Tom and Andy return the fish, and the Duvitches start started to trust them more. Later after a discussion about the boys killing the fish, the neighbors invite the Duvitches over for dinner which was another act of kindness to them. After having dinner with the neighbors, they start to become more accepted, and they start fitting in.

 In conclusion, we can all come to the same theme. Throughout the story, the Duvitches were desperate to find their place in the story. At first the Duvitch family is not accepted, but as time goes on they become popular. The kids make friends, and the family becomes loved. After everything that happens we can conclude to never judge a book by its cover.

How was Elinor's sense of propriety upset? Identify at least two examples from the novel in your response. Your answer
should be at least one hundred words.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

"Sense and Sensibility" is a novel by author Jane Austen. One of the main characters, Elinor, would be the representation of the "sense" in the title. It is not that she is not a sensitive woman. Elinor has feelings just like her mother and her sister, Marianne. However, those two characters allow themselves to actually feel and show how they feel, while Elinor maintains her propriety. She behaves in a prudent, careful, and polite manner, taking care of things and people no matter what.

Yet, there were two times in the novel where Elinor's sense of propriety was upset, and she couldn't help but show her feelings. First, she had a hard time concealing her emotions when she heard of Edward and Lucy's engagement. Second, she displayed her emotions when Edward showed up to her house all of a sudden, after Elinor had been told he had gotten married. Those two times deeply affected her ability to keep her feelings in check.

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our
common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and
correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore,
acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of
mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends."

What is work?

In simple layman language a work that what has been done. In a scientific sense, a force must be exerted, and there must be displacement in the direction of the force.

The SI unit of work is the joule (J), which is defined as the work done by a force of 1 Newton in moving an object through a distance of 1 meter in the direction of the force.

The work done by a force on an object can be positive, negative, or zero, depending upon the direction of displacement of the object with respect to the force.

Without the displacement we cannot say that the work has been done by a body. For example, studying for 2 hours is not a work.

If we keep on a career pathway we are  doing or working toward a goal. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
