English
1 answer:

Answer:

The city is portrayed as a challenge for Caroline to  either use its advantages to mature or to succumb  to its dangers.

Explanation:

Caroline Meeber (sister Carrie) is an eighteen year old lady who left her village in Wisconsin in search of a green pastures in Chicago. She was out to pursue her dream of wealth and fame.

The setting of passage 1 is a Chicago-bound train where Caroline, leaving home for the first time to stay with her sister, battles with her thoughts - how would life in the city be?

Nostalgic feelings of home are some quickly replaced with her expectations of city life - lights and sounds of a fast-paced city, moving cars, big houses and mansions, fame and affluence.

Even though Caroline was naive in thinking, her tastes and desires were certainly very high. She was also nervous and a bit fearful not knowing exactly what life in the city would offer her.

How does the poem Hatred use personification in lines 21-28 to contrast hatred with compassion, brotherhood, and doubt?
Sophie [7]
<span>Aversion is a strong disgust and must be avoided in order to live in harmony with others. Like jealousy, hatred fascinates us, fascinates and easily captures our imagination. <span>The Bible to condemn hatred, "Dinner at the gardenen where love is present is superior to cattle and hatred." Hatred like anger is a poisonous tree not done in our orchard.
</span>Wislawa Szymborska adopts ridicule and talks about its growth, how to operate, and the hatred caused by it. <span>Poetry has ease of conversation, under which serious purpose is hidden.

</span>In the opening stanza, hatred has been anthropomorphic, and it has been given the positive determination for corporate determination and achievement of goals. The hatred that is as old as human himself is visualized as a hunter (predator) maintaining perfect condition. I chase us with ruthless efficiency and have overcome all obstacles. <span>The word "pounces" is meaningful, as it suggests that animals jump at quarry without meaning.</span></span>

Read the following excerpt from Jackie Robinson’s letter to President Eisenhower.
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The historic event Jackie Robinson is referring to is:

Option C: Governor Faubus’s calling of the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine African American students from entering Little Rock Central High School, despite the US Supreme Court’s ruling against segregation

Explanation:

The 'Brown vs. Board of Education' made a rule that public schools would be integrated and there would be no segregation made between the whites and blacks in the school. In case it is done, it would be against law. But the governor of 'Arkansas', Governor Faubus, was against this law and he stopped nine African American students to enter Little Rock Central High School.

Jackie Robinson wrote a letter to President Eisenhower urging that he should take quick action and protect the rights of those nine African American students. President's intervention was important in preventing their rights.

what is the appropriate balance between holding to your personal convictions while avoiding an undue level of judgmentalism
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The question above is a moral one.

In order to achieve a balance, we must become aware that the Author and Consitution that measures morality puts everyone on the same level.

That is, if one person lies, they are no different morally from one who steals.

This realisation that there is 'right' and 'wrong' and that there is one that administers over everyone to check the latter,  helps with conviction and checks one from being too quick to be others to judgement.

It's key to note that the good book makes it clear that a servant rises or falls before his Master and that with the same measure that one person judges another, shall he or she be judged.

Man at the best will always be imperfect. There are three stages of imperfection:

  1. Imperfect but getting worse
  2. Imperfect but just in-between
  3. Imperfect but getting better consistently

Cheers
