Which piece of evidence best supports the idea that Monkeyman has influenced the way the narrator views the world?

Read the formal letter. Jorge Smith 123 Main Street Anytown, IL 12345 Mrs. Parker: Our annual awards banquet will be held in Jan

o-na [289]

The part of the letter that needs revision in order to be an appropriate formal letter is the salutation. A letter should always include a salutation other than just writing the name of the person. The salutation should be brief, but it helps to introduce the message that needs to be delivered without setting a rude or sharp tone.

Choose one of these two themes: “Strangers can act heroically” or “Reporters may risk their lives to do their jobs.” Write a par

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Strangers can act heroically because the heroic personality not only in sport but in others spheres of daily life provides the subject with the exceptional nature denied them in his daily work logic. Reporters may risk their lives to do their jobs, because journalism is spoken of as a high-risk profession since, the journalist understands that the truth, although it may affect images of politicians and powerful people, must be counted as the only means of confronting phenomena rooted in society, such as corruption and tyrannies.

Explanation:

Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations

The speaker makes it clear that his focus in on ordinary people since he says the distinction between the rich and the poor is non existent in such a situation. Then , he makes reference to cartmen's being helpful. The speaker sets a possibility of ordinary people's being heroic because , although he has heard that some people have charged others for helping sufferers and he thinks this can be true, he has not seen people doing so. He has seen people helping others in exchange for whatever can be given to them or even for nothing. Therefore, these deeds are heroic.

Gonzalo: I have great comfort from this fellow: methinks he hath no drowning-mark upon him; his complexion is perfect gallows. S

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

(i) The person being referred to in this extract is Boatswain.

Boatswain is a character in Shakespeare's "The Tempest" who appears not more than twice in the play. His job is to run the ship during the tempest. He is a senior crew member, who overseas the deck crew, manages the ship's lines and sails, and the anchors

(II) Gonzalo happens to be is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's Play. A counselor to the King. From the play, it is clear that Boatswain had hurt his pride:

First by ignoring his question about the where about of the king twice.

Second, by speaking to him in a derogatory manner regardless of his position. Botswain had asked him to use his political powers which at that time was useless against the storm to save them or get out of the way. He was practically ordered to get back into his Cabin. See this excerpt:

Boatswain

When the sea is. Hence! What cares these roarers

for the name of king? To cabin: silence! trouble us not.

So, Gonzalo with a lot of hurt but care for his own life retreats into his cabin below the deck as he does so wishes that Boatswain will save the ship so that everyone is saved including himself but moreso that he will have the opportunity to hang him when the ship got to land.

So Gonzalo derives great comfort for two reasons:

because based on his estimation of the situation, the ship will not sink under the administration of Boatswain because he is an expert at what he does. He actually prays to Fate to ensure that he does not sink the ship.
If the ship will not sink, then he (Gonzalo) will have the opportunity to mete out the punishment which he strongly wanted for Boatswain for his insolence and derogatory manners towards him.

See the part where he prays to Fate to ensure that the Boatswain is successful in his enterprise:

"Standfast good Fate, to his hanging! make the rope of his destiny our cable, for our own doth little advantage. If he be not born to be hanged, our case if miserable.

If there was a chance that the ship will sink, that meant that he would have to die

horribly along with Boatswain by drowning
without a chance to redeem his pride.

Cheers!
