true or false ? according to a book written by Jacques Derrida the “slippage” between sigh and signifier has made it impossible to communicate effectively.

Answers

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Sign and Signifier must act in a unitary way so that efficient, full and understandable communication is possible. This is because the sign cannot act alone to establish a communication, being necessary the presence and interaction of several signs so that the message is coherent. Each sing, however, must be established in connection with the signifier, without the presence of "slippage" between them.

An example of this can be seen in the word "home". This word is a sign, since it has meaning, but in order to pass a message and be inserted into an efficient communication, it needs the presence and interaction of other signs.

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:

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.

Hester Prynne can be seen in many ways as the first great modern heroine in American literature. Do you agree

Answers

Answer:

Yes, I agree that Hester Prynne can be taken as the first great modern heroine in American literature.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's main protagonist Hester Prynne in "The Scarlet Letter" is an adulteress convicted and imprisoned, shamed, and ridiculed by the Puritan society she's in. But despite all the inhibitions around her conviction, she did not falter but rather maintained her resolve and stayed true to her own self.

In order to go into the issue of "great modern heroine", let's first go to what makes one a heroine. A heroine is basically a woman who is independent, not swayed by other's opinions and beliefs, and courageous, the main character in a story, and above all, an achiever in her own terms.

Now, regarding Prynne, we know she is independent, brave, and manages to keep her identity amidst the furor of her sin. She did not give in to the taunts and insults, but make sure that she is who she is. Even when she was taken into the marketplace, she did not fear being seen, but she stepped out to be seen by everyone, courageously maintaining her character. She refused to reveal the father of her daughter, Pearl, despite many pressures, was perfect in working as a seamstress, and takes care of Pearl on her own. Living in a Puritan society, it will be unbearably difficult to be a woman and that too as a convicted adulteress. But she did not let that deter her. She maintained her resolve, kept to herself, and even make a living for herself in a society that puts women as the weaker sex. Most of all, she is the main protagonist of the story, with all things revolving around her character.

Thus, we can safely say that it is agreeable to say that Hester Prynne can be seen as the ultimate, first great modern heroine in American literature.

Why did jill mccorkle write her essay

Answers

Answer:

The title of this article is derived from an ordeal

between the author and her son. When she saw her son, tacitly mouthing

plenty of contemporary vocabulary when riding in the car or drawing.

McCorkle decided to countenance him with a “Cuss Time.” She elucidates

that, for five minutes a day; her son was permitted to talk about

whichever word he fancied. The son considered all the words to have

similar weight. However, when the Cuss Time was concluded, he was not

permitted to cuss until the following day when it started again.

Part of the author’s thinking was without cussing; it limits people’s

potential in how to express themselves. In her work, she talks about her

childhood, when she had no freedom to say bad words and thus tries to

point out that by making efforts to limit the freedoms of individuals, it

sparks them to do something more( creates more temptation to). She

expresses this fact with her first quote in the paper by saying, through

bridling the people’s freedom of articulation, we derogate their convictions

and views before they even have the elbow room to hatch” ( Mccorkle,

2007). She spoke of many things in her work, all pointing to her main

thesis that by not allowing persons to access their freedoms of

expression, we are not giving people a chance to come up with their

thoughts and limiting their real potential.

How does the author use paragraphs 30-31 to refine their ideas? Cite evidence in your answer.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The author use paragraphs 30-31 to refine their ideas in the following way.

When Thomas Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence, wrote "In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress..." he wants to conclude that American colonists have tried many ways to get a proper answer from the British crown and the only answer they had received had been a repeated injury, which means, the King still considered aggressions to the colonists.

When Jefferson wrote "...That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved..." he is making the strong conclusive statement that from now on, the colonies are declaring independence from the English crown so the colonies are free and independent states, that have the power and rights to do the things they freely consider correct.

Linking verb:is.

Explanation: The dog is the subject in the sentence because it is the doer of the action while happy is the action verb because it is telling us how the dog is feeling it is showing the dog's action or reaction in the sentence and "is" is a linking verb because it is linking the other words together but am not so sure that's the answer because a linking verb is considered a conjunction because it joins two words or sentences together and also I don't think there is any adjective in the sentence if happy is considered an adjective then it is supposed to be "happily" not "happy" ,and the object can be "street" because it is the 2nd thing in the sentence that the doer of the action is referring to or acting on.....

Which detail from the novel is referenced in the
primary source?
O the discovery of gold in Georgia
O the reason Ross went to Washington
O the Ridge and Boudinot faction
O the Revolutionary War participation

Answers

Hello. You have not informed which novel you are referring to, which makes it impossible to answer your question satisfactorily. But I can help you by showing you how to identify a primary source in this novel.

A primary source is a document that depicts a historic event. This document was built at the time that this historic event took place, being built without the interference and influence of other sources, being, therefore, a primary source. This type of document must be exposed in the novel related to your question.

An example of this would be a novel that featured a character who wrote a diary about his experiences during the discovery of gold in Georgia. In that case, the diary would be a primary source.

Hi can someone write a paragraph /speech on this topic for grade 7 students?

1. Scientist Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is
more important than knowledge." Do you agree
or disagree with this statement? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Imagination is more important than knowledge because it's allows you to be creative, give a different perspective and think outside the box .

Hope this helps :)

Hello everyone, I’m .......... and today I’m gonna say some sentences on this quote . After this speech you will get an outline of what is the meaning of this small line which means big things .
This quote/line/statement/thought is said by a common person who is not only is a scientist but also a inventor. And you all must know him by his name Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity .He is best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation" and He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921

Now , this quote “Imagination is more important than knowledge. “ means that knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand it , while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand will be based on imagination

I certainly / surely agree that this statement is true because knowledge is just facts or pieces of information that have been proven many many times. It’s limited and it is trying to grow, but at a very slow speed . But to imagine impossible things and to do them you can help in the growth of knowledge and it helps the future generations to be more successful and systematic.

Hope this helps

four two tenths
four and two hundredths

Answers

Answer:

i would say four and two hundreths im my opinion

Answer:

four and two hundredths

Explanation:

Just try them out!

The first choice is four and two tenths. This would be 4.2, because the tenths digit is right after the decimal.

The second choice is four hundred two. This is obviously not right, that would be 402; there's not even a decimal there.

The third choice is four two tenths. This does not make any sense at all; there's no such number as four two tenths.

So even by process of elimination, we could have known that four and two hundredths is the answer. It's correct because the hundredths digit is the second number after the decimal, and the 2 in 4.02 is the second number after the decimal.
