The Starry Night
by A. Gautam

CHARACTERS:
SAMUEL, A middle-aged professor who looks like he has been teaching for centuries
NAGEN, A well-dressed boy who looks nervous and lost
VENUS, An antsy-looking girl dressed in a baseball cap and a torn shirt that looks new
RITCHIE, A dreamy looking young boy with ruffled hair

Stage Set: The outside of a museum. Samuel is leaning on a tree. The students are seated on the grass.

SAMUEL: Well, what was Van Gogh trying to say, really?
VENUS: I thought this was supposed to be a fun trip. You are—like—teaching us outside of class. What's up with that?
NAGEN: If I may, which painting were you referring to, sir?
SAMUEL: Starry Night. The waves in the sky. Imagination and reality. Darn, I am tired as the starry night.
VENUS: There he goes again, into his own little world. Do any of you know when the bus is supposed to pick us up?
NAGEN: I believe it is supposed to come at five. May I ask you a question, miss?
VENUS: Call me Ven. Waiting for the bus will be as fun as the dentist pulling my teeth out.
NAGEN: Ok, Ven. Why didn't the other students come with us?
VENUS: It was optional, dude!
RITCHIE: Nobody cares about art anymore. (to Nagen) Why did you come?
NAGEN: I need to keep busy after school. That is when, Richard, I get the most homesick.
RITCHIE: Call me Ritchie. Where is home for you?
SAMUEL: Who knows really what home is? Why can't people feel at home in art? Why the rush to belong? It does not make a difference if it is a stroke on the canvas or the work of clouds in the sky. To imagine is more important. To imagine the possibilities of the meaning is more beautiful. To find a home in the whole world is possible.
VENUS: Here comes the bus!
NAGEN: It's ————
(All rush to the bus.)



VENUS: Call me Ven. Waiting for the bus will be as fun as the dentist pulling my teeth out.

B: Hayden slack of capitalization emphasizes his disdain for Americans

C: Hayden‘s use of capitalization emphasizes the control The Counselor’s have on their society

D: Haydn‘s use of capitalization emphasizes Americans in ability to understand the unknowable essence

Answers

Hayden's use of capitalization develops a  theme in "American Journal" because: C: Hayden‘s use of capitalization emphasizes the control The Counselor’s have on their society.

In this poem by Robert Hayden, the poet described several characteristics of  American society in detail. After his observations, he makes a report to The Counselor whom he seems to respect.

In this poem, the poet did not use capitalization on basic nouns like America. Only The Counselor and the Unknowable Essence were capitalized.

A possible reason for this is to demonstrate the superiority of these personalities over the other people and places in the poem.

Source 1 Pitts' Flash Mob Robberies article
Topic sentence 1 What does this article show about mob mentality?

Answers

According to the article, the Mob mentality is created by detachment from the social alliance.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The article shows how Mob Robberies has become a common practice and has been carried out by groups of people who have no financial and social justification for it.This is because the mob has revealed a pattern of behavior among individuals, which completely breaks the social alliance that exists within the population.This social alliance affirms that there are rules that must be followed for the whole society to benefit from it.One of these rules is that theft must not be practiced.

However, with the events we are living through, with political leaders being controversial, racist events in society, and an intense reversal of values, this social alliance has been completely destroyed, people have questioned the need for rules and have broken them as a form of rebellion.

These feelings have passed from one person to another, which has resulted in the creation of Mob Robberies.

5. Using the list of generational conflicts on the whiteboard in the front of the classroom, what is the most dominate generational conflict in "The Winter Hibiscus?" Explain your ideas using examples from the text. *

Answers

The story, Winter Hibiscus is a very attention grabbing and perhaps a very beautiful one too. Thes story's main point or summary is a little mysterious in some ways. The plot Mountain goes like this

5.Rising Action: Saeng Failed the test and she is very mad at herself for failing

5.Rising Action: David (I can infer that Saeng likes him) looks like he already has someone to hang out with

4.Rising Actions are usually parts/events of the story that make the "problem worse". It is conflict that Characters face before everything is resolved the end.

There are many Conflicts that are mentioned, and some are

4. . what I Infer about. In the part when she had taken the Car License test, you see that she is stressing out a lot. I could infer that she in having little conflicts with herself about If she's going to fail or not. Little did she know, these little conflicts turned out to be "BIG PROBLEMS" that she must face. She ends up not stopping at the Stop sign because she was worried and had little fights within her body. In which, we could turn to the Climax as she fails the License Test. During this part, the theme has not showed yet or to be made "Clearer"

1.Towards the falling action the story and the theme start to enroll in a way. When Saeng bought the winter Hibiscus it felt like a symbol of Hope. The texts from the book say that she planted the Winter Hibiscus, which comforts her in a way. It just comforts her.

2  Saeng is in fact a dynamic character I would say. In the rising action part, she was very mad at herself for failing. She does not do really anything about it. Instead, she is like "Eh, who cares", "It's just some weird test". Though, towards the end, the story made me feel like she has a little hope with her new life in America

3. As I was saying before, the winter hibiscus symbolizes hope. Just some hope in America. in the first few pages, she gives up so easily. Which is not really good. Later when she planted the Winter hipsicus she had a little hope taht she will get used to America

Question 2 What disability provokes wise men into not meeting death gently? Answer in a short paragraph response, citing text evidence.​

Answers

In "Do not go gentle into that good night" by Dylan Thomas, the disability (incapacity) that provokes wise men into not meeting death gently is:

- Their incapacity to leave a mark in the world, to make a difference.

In the second stanza of the poem "Do not go gentle into that good night," the speaker says that wise men know very well that death is natural and will happen to all of us.

Yet, there is something that does not allow them to just meet death gently:

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

When the speaker says, "their words had forked no lightning," what he means is that these wise men do not wish to die because they still haven't left their mark in the world.

They want to fight death, stay alive, so that they can make a difference.

Therefore, we can say that their incapacity to leave a mark in the world is what provokes them into not meeting death gently.

Answer:

D by describing an example of how money could be stolen and sent abroad on edge

Explanation:

The author supports the claim "It is essential that there is some form of reliable digital signature” by describing an example of how money could be stolen and sent abroad. Therefore, option D is correct.

What is a digital signature?

A digital signature is a cryptographic technique that is used to validate the authenticity and integrity of a digital document, message, or transaction.

It is a unique digital code that is created by the sender of a message or document and that is attached to the document to prove that it has not been tampered with. It was sent by the person who claims to have sent it. It is commonly used in e-commerce.

Digital signatures use public-key cryptography to create a mathematical algorithm. It can verify the authenticity of the message or document. The sender uses their private key to encrypt the message, and the recipient uses the sender's public key to decrypt the message and validate the digital signature. Therefore, option D is correct.

Snow made growing food difficult, limiting the agricultural periods. And unpredictable weather made transportation almost impossible at times. It wasn’t a practical thing, so it became obsolete when we went to Sameness. “And hills, too,” he added. “They made conveyance of goods unwieldy. Trucks; buses. Slowed them down. So—” He waved his hand, as if a gesture had caused hills to disappear. “Sameness,” he concluded.” Some people might think climate control would be a good thing because they don't like cold weather and snow. “Then the sled, with Jonas himself upon it, began to move through the snowfall, and he understood instantly that now he was going downhill.
