Answers

Answer 1
The statement basically states “Books should show us the real world and not a fantasy where we are thought to believe things. It must guide us in our time on Earth.” You are supposed to provide your opinion on what you think.

I would write something like this:

Literature has been around for centuries, maybe even millenniums. It has brought people out of the depths of despair and helped them over come problems in day-to- day life. There are all kinds of books out there - fantasy, adventure, romance, but should all those books be forgotten and thrown out for man only to read non-fictional books that are factual rather than interesting?

On one hand, books should be used as a tool for living. They should be informative and contain facts that could benefit us through out our lifetime. An interesting quote is, ‘Knowledge is the key to life’ therefore reading non-fiction books will help us in the future and reflect our actions when we grow up.

On the other hand, books have been brought to life to transport a person away from his troubles into a fictional world, where they are happy and blissful. Taking away such books and reading only factual information will not benefit a humans mind, for they will grow old and grumpy; they will obtain a lot of information but they will be dissatisfied with life - so what is the point of that? Moreover, books are books. No matter the genre or the origination of the book, it will teach us grammar and vocabulary which is vital for a human to know; it will make us emotionally happy and we will still gain knowledge from it.

In my opinion, Forster is wrong because a work of literature MUST provide a scope for the imagination and it must alter reality a little but for us to imagine - for without imagination, we are nothing.


I hope this helps, and please tell me what grade you got as I would love to know:))

till they came to a place where the road passed through a cemetery full of monuments, when the Monkey stopped and looked about him and
gave a great sigh. "Why do you sigh?" said the Fox. The Monkey pointed to the tombs and replied, "All the monuments that you see here were
put up in honour of my forefathers, who in their day were eminent men." The Fox was speechless for a moment, but quickly recovering he said,

Victoria is putting down fertilizer in her garden. For every 25 square feet of garden, she needs one pound of fertilizer.

Let p represent the number of pounds of fertilizer.
Let g represent the area, in square feet, of garden she covers.

Which correctly names the independent and dependent variables?
independent variable: number of square feet of garden; dependent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer
independent variable: brand of fertilizer; dependent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer
independent variable: number of pounds of fertilizer; dependent variable: number of square feet of garden covered
independent variable: number of square feet of garden; dependent variable: number of people it takes to put down the fertilizer

Answers

Answer:

Independent = number of square feet garden

Dependent = pounds of fertilizer

Explanation:

25^2 feet = 1 pound

Distance usually is independent and weight is usually dependent.

It wouldn't make sense to tell how much you've eaten a month depending on your weight, but rather how much weight you've gain because of the amount you've eaten.

after Macbeth learns that Lady Macbeth is dead he says life is a tale/told by an idoit, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” How is this different from his attitude earlier in the play?

Answers

Answer:

Given the great love between them, his response is oddly muted.

hat the audience realises how completely his wife’s passing and the ruin of his power have undone Macbeth. His speech insists that there is no meaning or purpose in life. Rather, life “is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.” One can easily understand how, with his wife dead and armies marching against him, Macbeth succumbs to such pessimism. Yet, there is also a defensive and self-justifying quality to his words. If everything is meaningless, then Macbeth’s awful crimes are somehow made less awful, because, like everything else, they too “signify nothing.”

So this shows that his attitude has changed due his wife's downfall. Giving us an inkling that Lady Macbeth controlled him. Him now knowing that she has left him to his own fate and that he can't decide what to do on his own.

It is all so fleeting, and individuals spend their brief "hour" of life full of sound and fury. For what? Against whom? In the end, none of the fury that consumes so much of life amounts to anything.

Macbeth realises that he has wasted so much of his brief life (and, by extension, all of us do as well) and that it has all proven meaningless in the end. So it's as if his 'evil and remorseless' attitude has changed to a saddened end to his wasted life.

AJennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games: Catching Fire

'Sure Katniss Everdeen is an idealised fantasy anti-authoriatarian heroine … What she isn’t is either 'girly' or interested in riches.' Photograph: Allstar/Lionsgate/Sportsphoto Ltd

All hail Katniss Everdeen of The Hunger Games trilogy. If you are the mother of a pre-teen girl, you will know the whispered relief around these films. "About time. Go!" If you would like your teenage daughter to see something other than the underclass sobbing on a crass talent show, orange twentysomethings Botoxing themselves, or girls who are just "naturally thin" and who giggle when their clothes just drop off, then you will already know about them. If, like me, you simply would like to see a young woman not defined by her relationship to men, crack open the pick 'n' mix.

Clearly I am not alone. Nor is my youngest. Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, has had the fourth biggest box office weekend opening in history. Ever since the first film came out, my daughter read the books by Suzanne Collins and we have a shrine to Peeta, Katniss's fellow contestant.

Advertisement

The books are neither warm nor easy, but then dystopian futures of totalitarian states (Panem, as it is called) only work when they're not so far from the imagination. In The Hunger Games, the rich and powerful control the Capitol and dress in grotesque Gaga-ish costumes while the poor live out in the Districts and are treated with increasing contempt.

This is a police state where "peacekeepers" kill and torture. Hegemony is maintained by giving them very little – that's why Katniss learned to hunt illegally – but staging huge spectacles: each District is "reaped" to find two people who are chosen for the televised Hunger Games.

So this is a satire on the kind of TV that its target audience watches. The games are a brutal contest to kill every other contestant. It is the logical conclusion of reality TV: survival of the fittest. At the centre of this is Katniss, played by the sparky Jennifer Lawrence, who is seen on red carpets in apparently awful outfits. What do I know? Every time I read these gown-downs, as I call them, I like the ones the fashionistas hate (Bjork wearing a swan being my all-time favourite). We have seen Lawrence being chatted up on camera by sleazoid Jack Nicholson, who, to be fair, is only three times her age. And we have seen her lose it in front of the paparazzi, screaming: "Stop. Stop. Stop." So she isn't just acting cool, she is cool and aware that she wants to keep her body healthy-looking, not a size zero.

The obligation to be a role model is daunting and modern. I can't remember wanting to be anyone other than Mr Spock and David Bowie. The female bit is blank – my memory is only full of girls I did not want to be or never imagined I could be.

Since then, we pretty much have a roll-call of politically correct heroines, but still have to go some way back to find tough, independent women, from Linda Hamilton in Terminator to Sigourney Weaver in Alien, or Tarantino's fantasy of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Japanese cinema has produced some magnificent female characters, and, of course, we rewrite the "final girl" of the horror genre: in which, after several women have been raped/killed/tortured, the final girl turns the table and survives.

Lately though, for teenage girls, we have had Twilight's mopey and passive Bella Swan. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is long gone, so to see Katniss (more akin to Neo in The Matrix) as resilient and smart and reluctantly becoming a symbol of a revolution is quite something. Guys fall in love with her but she really has better things to do: the uprising. Unlike Russell Brand's fluffier talk of revolution, the movies do not shy away from the violence and executions that accompany the suppression of dissent, with the great Donald Sutherland's watery eyes conveying pure evil as the president.

Sure, Katniss is an idealised fantasy anti-authoriatarian heroine. She is also confused, stubborn and vulnerable. What she isn't is either "girly" or interested in riches. She makes her bow and arrows to bring down the system. Nothing is said about gender. She is taller than one of her partners and it's her physical and mental prowess that we root for.

-Delilah

Choose a topic and thesis that can be backed up by research and other sources is important to make your persuasive essay stronger. The correct option is c.

The topic you choose for your persuasive essay should have enough research and reliable sources to back up your thesis statement. The essay's credibility and persuasiveness to the reader are increased by the presentation of thoroughly researched evidence and illustrative arguments.

A powerful persuasive essay uses supported claims, logical arguments and credible sources to persuade the audience and present the author's point of view. Options A, B and D do not add to the persuasive essay's strength because they either rely on the opinions of the majority, lack reliable sources or completely rule out the possibility of making rational arguments and exercising critical thought.

In a literary analysis essay, the first element that we need is a hook to catch the reader's attention. Once that we have that, we write the thesis statement. Then, it is necessary to mention the evidence that supports the thesis, and we have to make a parenthetical citation where we mention the author, the book, the page, and the year to show that our evidence is real and that the reader can consult it. After presenting the evidence, it is necessary to give our opinion about it. Finally, as we approach the end of the essay, we have to write a summary of the work done and restate the evidence and the thesis statement.

Answer:

1. hook

2. brief summary of the work

3. thesis statement

4. evidence supporting the thesis statement, such as a quotation
