List two ways Mr. Dolphus Raymond goes against the unspoken rules of society.
Answers
Mr. Dolphus Raymond openly dates a black woman, despite the strict social segregation between races in the South during this time. Mr. Dolphus Raymond drinks alcohol in public, which is frowned upon in a society where alcohol is associated with immorality.
1. Marriage: Mr. Dolphus Raymond has a white wife, even though interracial marriage is frowned upon in Maycomb's society. He is even more looked down upon because he has a white wife and children with a black mistress. He is openly flaunting his behavior and defying the unspoken rules of society.
2. Public Behavior: Mr. Dolphus Raymond openly drinks alcohol in public, even though the public consumption of alcohol is frowned upon in Maycomb. As a result, he is seen as a scandalous figure and is treated with disdain by the townspeople. This public behavior goes against the unspoken rules of Maycomb's society, and it further encourages the stereotype that he is an immoral man.

Which of the following describes utopias?
A
They are difficult to achieve.
B
They are the same as dystopias.
С
They are too perfect to exist.
D
They inevitably turn into dystopias.
Answers
Among all the given statements, the one that gives the description about utopias is: “They are too perfect to exist.” Hence, Option C is correct.
What is the meaning of the term “perfect”?The definition of "perfect" refers to words that are created without any errors or to someone who can accurately repeat a certain text from memory: He practiced his lines with his mother, and by the time the play started, he was word-perfect. Franz commented, "His German was flawless."
Its root is the Latin word perficere, which can be translated as "totally" by the prefix per. The grammatical word "as a noun perfect" refers to a tense of verbs that describes an action that has been finished. The remark "They are too perfect to exist" stands out among the others as describing utopias.
Therefore, Option C is correct.

Answers
I was sitting on my bed, making sure the curtains were 100% closed. I always felt like someone- or something- was watching me. I knew it was always funny to think about my random freakouts when someone looks outside the window at night. It's not about any fear of the dark. I grew out of that, although some still fear it. And I guess I can understand why. A lot of phobias are really just fears of the unknown. For example, in the dark you can't see anything, so anything could be in there. Sure you know something is probably not there, but it's the idea that it could be there that's frightening. Or maybe it's completely different and it's just because I haven't experienced that phobia myself. But back to me, I keep feeling like some creature is spying at me through my window and through my mirrors. I know it sounds somewhat childish but it's serious in my case. I can't look in a mirror for over 20 seconds if nobody is awake, or maybe it's just normal night time fears. Sometimes I see it in my head doing really gruesome things over and over until, slowly but eventually, I die. But everyone gets bad thoughts from time to time. I guess I'm just having a bad case of daytime-nightmares. Sometimes I see it faintly in my reflection but when I turn around it's not there. I've always heard things, such as the screams of possibly future me dead by it, but I've never seen anything that's not there that often. Sometimes I swear that when I look out the window I see some sort of face peeking back at me, and sometimes I see the curtains open without anything happening. It's probably just late-night fears and the wind. I get sleep paralysis of it and nightmares of it killing me over and over and torturing me constantly, even when I'm just taking a brief nap. Oh well, probably nothing to worry about. I need some rest, it's already 1:00AM.

Answers
Answer:
Written by the Legendary Greek Writer, Homer, the Epic, Odyssey is considered a pivotal part of Ancient Greek culture.
In the book, Homer describers a Character Odysseus who is generally regarded as a fantastic hero of the ancient world.
A hero can be described as not just a man of courage and strength but also as the best example of his native land and culture. In the epic, Odysseus goes through a difficult period in his time, firstly through the Trojan far and after the fall of Trojan his travels in the lands.
He is often shown as a clever and strategic thinker who stands up for the rights of his crew and though he acts as a leader, he makes sure that his team is taken care of.
For example, in the chapter, Sea Perils and Defeat, he is well aware of the danger of the sirens. However, they need to listen to them in order to navigate. He asked all his crew members to plug their ears, asks to be tied up, so only he listens to them and helps guide the ship. He put his life in danger, even though he could have asked anyone else.
