What is the role of the main character in "The Shawl" and how does the main character contribute to the theme you chose in question one. Please make sure to answer the question fully and use textual evidence to support your thinking

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The role of the main character in 'The Shawl' is to keep herself and her daughter and her niece survived during the Holocaust.

The dominant theme of the story is 'survival' which is portrayed by the main character, first, in her thoughts of passing her daughter to someone who would take care of her, or help her daughter survive the cruelty of the concentration camps. Second, when they were in the camp. Third, when she witnessed her daughter being electrocuted and do nothing for the sake of her own survival.

Explanation:

'The Shawl' is a short story written by Cynthia Ozick. The Shawl is one of the most absorbing and enrapturing story by Cynthia. The story is set during the time of Holocaust.

The protagonist of the story is Rosa, a Jewish woman who is confined in the Concentration Camp along with her infant daughter, Magda, and niece, Stella. Rosa plays the role of a survivor throughtout the story.

Survival is also the dominant theme of the story. All the three character's main propoganda is to survive in the harshness of the concentration camp. But main role in this surviving was played by Rosa, who is responsible not only for own survival but her daughter and niece as well.

When Rosa alongwith her daughter and niece was being marched, she thought of handing her daughter to someone standing beside the road because her daughter would be found, she would be killed. She was thinking at that moment for her daughter's survival.

'Rosa, floating, dreamed of giving Magda away in one of the villages. She could leave the line for a minute and push Magda into the hands of any woman on the side of the road. But if she moved out of line they might shoot.' (textual evidence)

The second instance where Rosa contributed to the survival theme of the story when they were in the concentration camp. They had to struggle daily with survival in the concentration camp. Rosa's main intent in the camp was to keep her daughter alive more than her own life. Magda was an infant so thin and vunerable. Rosa would offer mostt of her food to her daughter to keep her alive and survived.

'Rosa gave almost all her food to Magda, ...' (textual evidence)

The third instance when Rosa contributed to the theme of survivor was when she thought of keeping herself alive. When her daughter, Magda was being electrocuted by the soldier, she ceased herself from going out and comforting or gathering the dead body of her daughter, because if she would go out she would be killed too.

'And the moment Magda’s feathered round head and her pencil legs and balloonish belly and zigzag arms splashed against the fence, the steel voices went mad in their growling, urging Rosa to run and run to the spot where Magda had fallen from her flight against the electrified fence; but of course Rosa did not obey them. She only stood, because if she ran they would shoot, ...' (textual evidence)

These instances also reveals the role of Rosa as a survivor.

"The common sense" written by Thomas Paine was a pamphlet written in support of the independence movement that was established in the 13 American colonies, which wished to get rid of British domination and become an independent nation. Neese pamphlet, paine affirmed that the independence of the colonies was something desired by God, since "There is no known satellite larger than its mother planet. Reason, Nature, God and History affirm:" The blood of those who were slaughtered , Nature's voice screams, it's time to part. Even the distance to which God placed America and England is strong and natural proof that the authority of one over the other was not the will of heaven (Paine, 1776, p.1) ".

In this statement, Paine is making use of the rhetorical feature called logos, this feature makes a speech have a strong appeal to logic, convincing the public quickly and coherently. Paine shows how America has a geography and an environment that was logically created by God to make America a bigger, better and more successful country than England, which could only mean that God wanted America to be independent.

Explanation:

In one of the most memorable passages in the novel, Steinbeck’s narrator laments the circumstances in which when a "crop grew, and was harvested, no man had crumbled a hot clod in his fingers and let the earth sift past his fingertips. No man had touched the seed, or lusted for the growth. Men ate what they had not raised, had no connection with the bread." Why did Steinbeck seem to think this mattered, and was he right to think so?

Answers

Answer:

The given circumstance mattered as it helped to develop the theme of inhumanity.

Yes, I think Steinback is right to think so.

Explanation:

The passage is taken from John Steinback's novel entitled 'The Grapes of Wrath.' The novel is set during the time of Great Depression and Dust Bowl.

One of the theme of that the author has portrayed in the novel is inhumanity of man over man. This is a repetitive theme found in the novel during the time of Great Depression and Dust Bowl.

In the given passage, Steinback is illustrating the same theme of inhumanity of man over man. The narrator is mourning over the fact that people who did not struggle to grow the crop were fed instead those who struggled. During the time of Great Depression, rich landowners in California became so inhumane that they hired immigrants to cultivate their farms but did not gave anything to them to eat. They were cruel to them and treated them with barbariously. For Steinback, this situation mattered as it helped to develop thhe theme of inhumanity.

Yes, I think Steinback was right to think so because who did not labour for the food were well fed and those who worked hard to reap the harvest were left empty stomach.

The red velvet ant is a flightless wasp that usually takes over the nests of bumble bees and stays low to the ground. Only the female of the species has a stinger, but what a stinger it is!

O Boadicea evokes pity by choosing death.
O The Roman leader is downcast and does not want to
fight.
O Boadicea tells the Roman leader that she will speak with
her sword.

Answers

Answer:

O Boadicea tells the Roman leader that she will speak with  her sword.

Explanation:

Boadicea was a "Warrior Queen", a leader and Queen of the Iceni people. She was one of the famous warrior queens, a fierce leader in the history of Britain who helped defend the nation against the greedy hands of the Romans.

In "An Island Story: A History of England for Boys and Girls" by Henrietta Elizabeth Marshall, the story of Queen Boadicea is detailed. After the death of her husband, General Caractacus, his wife Boadicea was left to ensure a safe life for her and her two daughters. But amidst the greedy Romans' plans to attack and conquer their lands, and the treatment they had endured on their hands, Queen Boadicea led her people against the Roman conquerors. Her open declaration that "It is better to die with honor than to live in slavery [...] I am a woman, but I would rather die than yield" incited her people to revolt against their conquerors. And when the Roman ambassador came with a green branch, a peace deal, she remarked "My sword alone shall speak to the Romans". She also bravely stated "You shall have peace, peace, but no submission. A British heart will choose death rather than lose liberty. There can be peace only if you promise to leave the country." Not only her words, but her act of inspiring and leading the men to revolt to the extent that the Romans offered a peace deal makes her a warrior and a fierce one at that.

Boadicea tells the Roman leader that she will speak with her sword.

Answers

Answer:

The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the sale of his video footage.The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the magic goldfish.The motif of wishing for the goldfish was through the final wish.

Explanation:

In the story "What, Of this Goldfish, Would you wish?", the motif of wishing for Yoni was through his innocent yet ambitious dream of selling his video footage to companies. "With a little decent footage, he was sure he’d be able to sell it to Channel 8 or  Discovery in a flash,".

For Sergei, the motif of wishing was through the magic goldfish. Through this line ‘‘I’m a magic fish. I’m fluent in everything:”, we can see that the goldfish had the magic to grant Sergei with wishes.

The motif of wishing for the goldfish was that once he granted three wishes to Sergei, he would have his freedom. The lines "After the last wish, Sergei won’t have a choice. He’ll have to let the goldfish go. His magic goldfish. His friend."

There is no similarity in the wishes of these three characters. Yoni wanted success and wealth, Sergei wanted companionship and someone to talk to and the goldfish wanted freedom.
