Answer:

Henry David Thoreau suggests that one should be willing to go to great lengths for a belief.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau in his essay "Civil Disobedience" propagates the idea of the citizens to not allow the government to overrule their personal rights. Obeying each and every rule that the government makes will only lead to the degradation of one's civil rights. He himself had refused to pay the poll tax that was levied on every single person, for which he was eventually imprisoned to be later released after a relative paid the tax on his behalf. He suggests and also did it in deed, his idea that one should be ready and willing to do anything and everything for what he truly believed in.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Help her.

Explanation:

If I was the teacher, I would take into account the girl's previous achievements. This girl..."a very bright and gifted girl, whom you enjoyed teaching." If that's the case, then reporting her would affect her permanent school record, and dimmen her chances of getting into that prestigious university she'd always dreamt of attending. A teacher always looks to the best interests of his/her students, so refusing to accept her work is also out of the question; because every teacher must genuinely care about the future of his/her pupils. But teachers also must be honest and sincere in their work, meaning: to pretend to believe that the essay is her work, whilst knowing it is'nt...puts your OWN career in danger. I would, email my student and talk to her about what she did. Not in a dangerous, you're-in-trouble, email, but a soft understanding email, stating how you care about where she ends up, and how you want her to make the right decision to get to the right place. So contact her, and try to reach out to her. Often, people in tight spots resort to the wrong choice to accomplish something they've always wanted to do. Be soft. Understanding...don't scare her away...

Trava [24]

The correct answers are: the ability to embark on a challenging journey, strength and courage.

Indeed, since there is no battle in this excerpt, that particular characteristic of the epic hero convention is not met by this passage. However, the other three are quite clear; Gilgamesh and his god friend are able to complete a thousand miles travel on foot in 3 days, which means they are strong. Gilgamesh climbs to the mountain summit, which means that he is also courageous since most people would be terrified of such height. Finally, the fact that they embark on a long journey is also one of the most important parts of Epic heroic convention since epic heroes are always supposed to face an epic, initiate quest that will test his resolve and force him to face dangers and trials which he will overcome.

amm1812

The question above is incomplete, the options attached to the question are given below:

A. Contended

B. Demanding

C. Harsh

D. Hectic


ANSWER

The correct option is A.

Douglass was a slave, who had experienced the harsh reality of been a slave. He has been moved around a lot, from one master to another master; and one of the masters he served were Mr and Mrs Auld. His condition as a slave improved a little bit when he first got to the home of the Auld's. Mrs Auld has never had a slave before so she was excited to have one and did not really know how slaves were treated by other white people. So she treated Douglass not as a slave but as a human being and even went to the extent of teaching him how to read and write. But all that stopped, when Mr Auld find out that his wife has been teaching Douglass how to read and write.
