saul85 [17]

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

How can I tell what it was like—you do not know. It was there, in the red light, and they were too big to be houses. It was there with the red light upon it, mighty and ruined. I knew that in another moment the gods would see me. I covered my eyes with my hands and crept back into the forest.

Surely, that was enough to do, and live. Surely it was enough to spend the night upon the cliff. The Forest People themselves do not come near. Yet, all through the night, I knew that I should have to cross the river and walk in the places of the gods, although the gods ate me up. My magic did not help me at all and yet there was a fire in my bowels, a fire in my mind. When the sun rose, I thought, "My journey has been clean. Now I will go home from my journey." But, even as I thought so, I knew I could not. If I went to the Place of the Gods, I would surely die, but, if I did not go, I could never be at peace with my spirit again. It is better to lose one's life than one's spirit, if one is a priest and the son of a priest.

Which conflicts occur in this passage? Select three options.

1) Character vs. nature: The narrator must conquer the challenges of the landscape to visit the Place of the Gods.

2) Character vs. character: The narrator must face the Forest People, since they live directly on the route to the Place of the Gods.

3) Character vs. self: The narrator must convince himself that just seeing the Place of the Gods from a distance is not enough.

4) Character vs. society: The narrator must go to the Place of the Gods to satisfy his spirit because he is a priest’s son and must follow his father’s teachings.

5) Character vs. self: The narrator is overwhelmed with fear of what he sees coming from the Place of the Gods and momentarily retreats.

Answer:

The conflicts that occur in the passage are

1) Character vs. self

2) Character vs. society

3) Character vs. self

Explanation:

There are three conflicts that occur in the passage:

1) Character vs. self: The narrator must try and make himself go to the Place of the Gods so he can be at peace with himself because viewing or seeing it froom afar is not enough for him.

2) Character vs. society: Another conflict that the narrator has it that he must visit the Place of the Gods because "if one is a priest and the son of a priest. " which shows that his father was a priest and he must follow his father's teachings.

3) Character vs. self: He is also scared for himself as he said "If I went to the Place of the Gods, I would surely die..." He wants to visit the Place of the Gods but he is scared for his life.

How does the characterization of the children create satire? They are curious about what is in the garden. They are pleased to l

____ [38]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."

"Why weren't there any flowers?"

"Because the pigs had eaten them all," said the bachelor promptly. "The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers."

There was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the Prince's decision; so many people would have decided the other way.

How does the characterization of the children create satire?

Answer:

The characterization of the children create satire because:

B. They are pleased to learn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers.

Explanation:

A satire exposes the difference between our beliefs and reality. In the short story "The Story-Teller", by Saki, the satire comes from the situational irony presented in the bachelor's story. The bachelor is traveling in a train wagon with three children and their aunt. The aunt tells them a story with the purpose of teaching them a moral lesson. To her disappointment, the children find the story boring.

The bachelor begins to tell a story himself. Unlike the predictable story told by the aunt, his story is filled with surprises and ironic incidents. Instead of teaching kids that they should be good, he teaches them that being too good may be an awful thing. The children's characterization in the excerpt creates satire because they are pleased to learn the prince in the story chose to have pigs instead of flowers. Their reaction contradicts what society would expect of them. It goes against what the aunt - a representative of society - thinks is appropriate. They are not pleased by what is right or good - they are pleased by what is entertaining.

In at least 150 words, discuss how Crevecoeur contrasts colonial America with Europe in Letters From an American Farmer. Use evi

vagabundo [1.1K]

When, in 1759, Voltaire published his Candide: Ou, L’Optimisme (Candide: Or, All for the Best, 1759), Michel-Guillaume Jean de Crèvecur was already planning to cultivate his garden hewn out of the Pennsylvania frontier. Like Voltaire’s naïve hero, Crèvecur had seen too much of the horrors of the civilized world and was more than ready to retire to his bucolic paradise, where for nineteen years he lived in peace and happiness until the civilized world intruded on him and his family with the outbreak of the American Revolution. The twelve essays that make up his Letters from an American Farmer are, ostensibly at least, the product of a hand unfamiliar with the pen. The opening letter presents the central theme quite clearly: The decadence of European civilization makes the American frontier one of the great hopes for a regeneration of humanity. Crèvecur wonders why people travel to Italy to “amuse themselves in viewing the ruins of temples . . . . half-ruined amphitheatres and the putrid fevers of the Campania must fill the mind with most melancholy reflections.” By contrast, Crèvecur delights in the humble rudiments of societies spreading everywhere in the colonies, people converting large forests into pleasing fields and creating thirteen provinces of easy subsistence and political harmony. He has his interlocutor say of him, “Your mind is . . . a Tabula rasa where spontaneous and strong impressions are delineated with felicity.” Similarly, he sees the American continent as a clean slate on which people can inscribe a new society and the good life. It may be said that Crèvecur is a Lockean gone romantic, but retaining just enough practical good sense to see that reality is not rosy. The book is the crude, occasionally eloquent, testimony of a man trying desperately to convince himself and his readers that it is possible to live the idealized life advocated by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. With a becoming modesty, appropriate to a man who learned English at age sixteen, Crèvecur begins with a confession of his literary inadequacy and the announcement of his decision simply to write down what he would say. His style, however, is not smoothly colloquial. Except in a few passages in which conviction generates enthusiasm, one senses the strain of the unlettered man writing with feeling but not cunning. Thus in these reasons, Enthusiastic as this description is, it is not as extravagant as it might seem. He describes Colonial America as a "a new continent; a modern society ", "united by the silken bands of mild government " where eveyone abides by the law " without dreading their power, because they -Americans- are equitable". To his mind, America is a place where "the rich and the poor are not so far removed from each other as they are in Europe" (Letter III) In contrast, Europe seems to him a land "of great lords who possess everything, and of a herd of people who have nothing" where its citizens "withered, and were mowed down by want, hunger, and war" as well as exposed to "nothing but the frowns of the rich, the severity of the laws, with jails and punishments"(Letter III). He lightheartedly embraces the nickname "farmer of feelings" his admired English correspondant gives him (letter II) as he explains with emotional rhethoric how it feels living in America; a place where "individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labours and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world"(letter III)

Hi.

Butoxors [25]

Perhaps take from my answer. Sorry if this isn't good, i'm a bit tired. You can add on and change up the words. I was unsure what was exactly wanted for this.

Answer:

Hello, as the speaker of this, I say the motion is correct. Modern movies are run by acting and scripts, while people are off script and anything could truly happen. Younger people tend to leach from what they see on T.V. and from elders, thus certain movies may give them bad views. Say with common action movies: That would most likely give the person a taste of violence as an answer. Humans can be violent, but are not always fighting like how thrillers and action movies show. People do break out into fights, just not like that. If someone was trying to figure out how some commonly interact and behave from a movie, it wouldn't be a good choice, since that would provide the wrong view. Unless it's a documentary or educational film, modern movies do indeed give a bad model. It is understandable for others to have different opinions on this matter, this is my own. Thank you for your time.
