Answer:

the banker is constantly taking making quick decisions with his money. We see this in the supporting evidence of option B. It describes his gambling as desperate and him making decisions based on "wild speculation". We see the despair further on in the story when it says, "When he got home he lay on his bed, but his tears and emotion kept him for hours from sleeping.”

natita [175]

Answer:

A) In the context of the story "The Landlady", people face death many times, without knowing they are initially.

Billy did think there was something odd about the way he was received and ushered in. Only that he kept excusing them away.

B) Billy, I think, should have realised her plans. There was nothing ordinary about an Inn that had had only two guests in two years and whose guests were still in the Inn.

Another pointer to just what she was capable of, was the fact that she was skilled in the ability to enbalm dead bodies.

C) Billy was probably under a spell and not in denial. From the moment he walked into the Inn. There were lots of clues to show that the Inn was unusual. First was the fact that with such a ridiculous price, he was the only guest that night and many nights before.

A guest in their right minds would have taken an objection to staying.

Cheers

Answer:

<h3>Susan B. Anthony was a crusader for equal rights.</h3>

Susan B. Anthony was an American activist for women's emancipation and political rights.

Anthony grew up in a quaker family and initially worked as a teacher. She was an early advocate for the abolition of slavery along with her family who joined the Abolitionist movement during the 1840s when the family moved to the city of Rochester in New York. This laid the foundation for her focus as a social reformer, focusing on issues such as women's economic situation and women's suffrage. She also came to represent the American Anti-Slavery Society in New York until the start of the Civil War.

After a period of work on his family's farm, Anthony came to work on women's rights issues and social reforms full-time. She became involved in what came to be called the suffragette movement, where she came to play a central role. Together with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she founded the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. She constantly expressed her opinion through lectures and writings that the key to women's liberation lay in political representation. She also emphasized that all other reforms, however important they may be, could never be more important than the demand for women's suffrage.

Almost immediately after joining the movement, she signed a petition addressed to the New York state legislature. There, she demanded three major reforms: 1) the woman's right to manage her own earnings, 2) the custody of the children in the event of a divorce, and 3) the right to vote. Her and organization's efforts finally won the hearing, and in 1860 the state of New York passed a bill that gave the woman the right to "in addition to possessing property also dispose of her own earnings, initiate process and, upon the death of her husband, have the same rights as he had over his wife had passed away before him ". These reforms were a step on the road for women in New York.

When the Civil War broke out in 1861, all activities for women's liberation ceased. Some followers such as Louisa May Alcott chose to work as a nurse, but Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton visited all major cities instead with the slogan "No compromises with slave owners"; they succeeded in gathering 400,000 signatures, which led Congress to approve the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which meant that all slaves would be released immediately.

Work on women's right to vote came to continue to be pursued through the National Woman Suffrage Association and only in 1920, 14 years after Anthony's death as the United States introduced female suffrage through the 19th Amendment.

Explain the purposes behind Dante’s development and use of the contrapasso. Your answer should be at least 250 words.
kodGreya [7K]

What makes Dante's work so remarkable is his creation of the contrapasso - punishments in <em>Inferno</em> that ironically reflect or contrast the sin itself. We learn about this term in Canto XXVIII, when Bertran de Born states, "Thus is observed in me the counterpoise." In this, he is physcally separated by decapitation, and carries his talking head. He explains that his sin is a political one, by turning the Young King against his father.  

"Know that Bertram de Born am I, the same

Who gave to the Young King the evil comfort.

         I made the father and the son rebellious;

              Achitophel not more with Absalom

And David did with his accursed goadings.

         Because I parted persons so united,

              Parted do I now bear my brain, alas!"

(XXVIII, 142)


The purpose behind the contrapasso is to serve a divine karma to the souls of the Inferno. Instead of generalizing the punishment unfairly, each soul is tortured as a reflection of their chosen sin during their life. For instance, located in  the First Circle are unbaptized souls or virtuous pagans who are neither in Hell or out of it. While they have not sinned, they were unable to chose a side or accept Christ, which leaves them in a neutral area.

In contrast to this, Dante enters circles 2 - 9 and discovers more severe sins and their matching punishments. The outer ring of the Seventh Circle shows distinct differences between sinners that have commited violence. The punishment for violence is submersion in a river of boiling blood - symbolic for spilled blood - but highly violent tyrants are completely submerged, whereas those that commited less violence only sit ot stand in the boiling river.
