What led lizabeths revelation about what she had done
Answers
Answer:
Compassion is what led Lizabeth's revelation about what she had done.
Explanation:
"This was the beginning of compassion, and one cannot have both compassion and innocence."
Lizabeth is the narrator and main character in the short story "Marigolds", by Eugenia Collier. It is the adult Lizabeth narrating the revelation she had at the age of 14, after destroying the garden of marigolds her neighbor, Miss Lottie, grew with so much care.
Before this event, Lizabeth and the other children would tease Miss Lottie, calling her a witch, and throwing stones at her property. They live in an extremely poor neighborhood, and the story is set during the Great Depression. Everything is dilapidated, the only beauty being the Miss Lottie's garden. When Lizabeth hear her father's words of desperation for not being able to provide for his family, she gets angry. Her rage is what drives her to destroy the beautiful garden, as if Lizabeth did not want anyone to have beauty and happiness if she and her family could not have it.
However, for the first time in her life, Lizabeth understands the cruelty of what she has done. It was "the beginning of compassion" and the end of her childish innocence. Lizabeth finally understands why Miss Lottie's has the marigolds. It is precisely because life is miserable and difficult, because the world is ruthless. It was the only source of solace and beauty the woman had, and it was now gone. Compassion, shame, awkwardness arise in Lizabeth. Her understanding of the world is now different, new.
Options:
A remembering the events of that day with adult eyes
B looking into Miss Lottie's eyes and seeing her in a new way
C discussing it with her parents after Miss Lottie told them what she had done
D watching Joey's face change from joy to sadness as he realized what she had done
Answer:
B. looking into Miss Lottie's eyes and seeing her in a new way.
Explanation:
What actually led to Lizabeth's revelation about what she had done is at the point she looked into Miss Lottie's eyes and saw her in a new way.
Below is an excerpt that supports that:
“For as I gazed at the immobile face with the sad, weary eyes, I gazed upon a kind of reality which is hidden to childhood. The witch was no longer a witch but only a broken old woman who had dared to create beauty in the midst of ugliness and sterility. She had been born in squalor and lived in it all her life. Now at the end of that life she had nothing except a falling- down hut, a wrecked body, and John Burke, the mindless son of her passion. Whatever verve there was left in her, whatever was of love and beauty and joy that had not been squeezed out by life, had been there in the marigolds she had so tenderly cared for."
When Lizabeth looked at the face of Miss Lottie, she saw her in a different and new way. She was no longer the witch Lizabeth knew her to be. Her eyes was filled with compassion as she saw a broken woman who stood before her. She saw Miss Lottie as an old woman whose precious possession, the marigolds have been destroyed and she was left with nothing.
At this point, Lizabeth understood the cruelty of what she has done. She discovered that the marigolds were Miss Lottie's only source of solace and beauty in a world that was ruthless and difficult.

Reread the simile. Describe how it helps you see and understand what the author is experiencing. Abe We always started with the easy (words] I had already learned, and which I wrote down and read from the slate. The new ones I had to listen to first, putting them together as well as I could from the sounds. At the end of the lesson I had to listen to the formidable words that sounded more like trapezes in full swing.
Answers
Answer:
As we know, a simile is a literary device that involves a comparison between two distinctly related things using 'like' or 'as' in order to explain or elaborate them for a better understanding of the reader.
In the given simile, the author compares the 'sound of formidable words' with the 'sound of trapezes in full swing' which suggests that the author is experiencing a very hard time learning these words and connotes his negative mood. The word 'formidable' means 'something frightening or dreading' which suggests that the author was having a terrifying experience as supplemented by the phrase 'trapezes in full swing' implying that the words were confusing and difficult for him to learn.

The poet suggests that goodness and beauty are doubly so when we’re talking about socks, they are delightful because they come in pairs. Do you think this is a serious remark or a tongue-in-cheek (playful/joking) comment? Do you agree that everything that comes in pairs is special or wonderful?
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
I believe this is a tongue-in-cheek comment. As a matter of fact, this type of comment depends on our perspective in life, on how positively or negatively we tend to see things. Maybe a more positive person has noticed one day that he enjoys things that come in pairs. It may just be a coincidence, but he turned it into some sort of rule, of philosophy even.
I once heard somewhere that disasters come in trios. That means, if something bad happens, you can expect two more bad things to take place. Of course, this is not true - the same way that good things do not necessarily come in pairs. Maybe a person who focuses more on the negative side of things once payed attention only to disasters and tragedies occurring around him. Maybe he noticed three bad things and took them as the rule.
Anyhow, this type of comment is fun and harmless. It helps us make sense of the world we live in, as if we were able to understand things - good and bad - and perhaps even have some control over them. But it should not be taken as a serious remark.

through their words. Describe the actions of the characters after Marcellus says, "You
shall not go, my lord." What are Horatio and Marcellus doing in this part, and why?
What is Hamlet doing, and why?
Answers
Answer:
After saying "You shall not go, my lord," Marcellus steps in front of Hamlet and tries to tell him, to stop him from moving forward. Seeing that Marcellus was unable to stop Hamlet, Horatio joins him and together they try to prevent Hamlet from following the ghost, but Hamlet manages to break free and pursue his goal of following the ghost.
Explanation:
These facts happen in Act 5 and Scene 5 of Hamlet. When Hamlet meets his father's ghost and finds out that his father was murdered by Claudius. Hamlet is alone at that moment, but he is very shaken by everything he heard. When Marcellus and Horatio find Hamlet, the ghost disappears and they don't understand why Hamlet was so upset.
Hamlet explains what happened and says he will follow the ghost, as he needs more answers. Marcellus and Horatio think he is going crazy and try to stop him from moving forward, but without success, since Hamlet manages to break free and suck the ghost.
