A . The central conflict in this poem is between Tristan and Isolde because they cannot decide if their love is true or fake.

B . The central conflict in this poem revolves around the secrecy of Tristan and Isolde’s love, and the strife this secret brings them (as they keep it from King Mark).

C . The central conflict in this poem is between King Mark and Sir Tristan, as they fight for Isolde’s love and hand in marriage.

D . The central conflict in this poem deals mostly with the rumors being spread by the courtiers, who threaten to tell the king of the queen’s faithlessness.

Answer: B . The central conflict in this poem revolves around the secrecy of Tristan and Isolde’s love, and the strife this secret brings them (as they keep it from King Mark).

Explanation:

Jane Wilde wrote this poem in the 1800's, based on a Celtic legend. Her focus is on the forbidden love of Tristan And Isolde. ("None, unless the saints above, Knew the secret of their love", and " their hands would twine unseen"). Their love seems to feed on the rush of the secrecy they keep to avoid King Mark of Cornwall from finding out about it.

An author writes the following paragraph for an argumentative essay:

Wewaii [24]

The excerpt mainly focuses on the general idea that television has a bad influence on children, so I would say the best answer choice is "television has a bad influence on children." It doesn't focus too much on the three types of shows, but otherwise that would be the second best answer. Let me know which one is correct, but I believe it's B.

How does the narrator feel about washing and tying her husband’s turbans? Montreal 1962.

Radda [10]

Answer:

She felt proud and also felt closer to her own heritage and home.

Explanation:

Montreal 1962 is a short story by Shauna Singh Baldwin, recollecting her first experience of being a Sardar's wife in a foreign land. She recounts how her husband was asked to remove his hair and turban to be employed.

The short story delves into how she, as a Sardar's wife, felt about her husband's predicament on being asked to be 'normal' like the Canadians and get rid of his natural identity- the turban and his hair and be clean-shaven. While her husband was out working, she took upon herself to wash and then work on even trying to tie a turban, like her husband and others must have done before her. And in the process, she began to understand the significance and even the cultural significance of the turban. She felt that it is what makes them “them”, declaring that she will not let their tradition and culture be taken away from them.

She came to the realization of the turban's significance in their lives and decides to stand by him no matter what happens. She will work for her hands and help him to tie his turban, and then she "will have taught Canadians what it takes to wear a turban".
