CAST OF CHARACTERS
George, a retired office clerk 
Georgiana, his wife
Little Georgie, a deck boy

(George and Georgiana's luxurious cabin. There's a piano and a couple of evening dresses and jackets. George is sitting in an armchair and smoking his pipe.)
GEORGIANA: ... So, as I've told you, Edward is never going to get married if he keeps employing such an attitude towards women.
GEORGE: Yes, darling. However, there's not much we can do about it. If those are God's ways, we are to accept them peacefully. Have you talked to Martin about it?
GEORGIANA: No, Martin always goes about his business. 
(Some kind of uproar is heard.)
GEORGE: You see, one can hardly find a peace of mind even on a ship.
(Little Georgie breaks into the room.)
LITTLE GEORGIE: Sir, ma'am, the ship seems to be going down.
GEORGIANA: Down? What do you mean, little chap?
LITTLE GEORGIE: It is sinking. People are a little bit upset.
GEORGE: Well, how serious is it? Is it going to sink completely?
LITTLE GEORGIE: Well, haven't you heard the sirens?
GEORGIANA: Shall we evacuate?
LITTLE GEORGIE (picking his nose): There's only so much space in the lifeboats. You'd better hurry.
GEORGE: Darling, do you reckon I have time enough to pick at least two of my jackets? A man needs to bring his attire with him all the time.
GEORGIANA: By all means, George. We shouldn't let the situation get out of hand.

(They start rummaging around the room. Little Georgie observes the piano for 25 minutes. George cleans his pipe. All of them slowly and quietly leave the room.)

Hamlet's obsession with death and decay in act 5 is symbolized by
muminat

The correct answer is:

The skull of Yorik simbolizes Hamlet's obsession with death and decay in act 5.

In the Act 5 Hamlet visits the grave yard and foinds the skull of a man who worked for his father and who he knew as a child, it brings good memories of Hamlet`s childhood when all was well.

Hamlet remembers the dead in the graveyard. "Alas, poor Yorick," exclaimsHamlet, as he recalls that Yorick was "a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy," one who "hath borne [Hamlet] on his back a thousand times" (5.1.190-191; 191-192; 192-193).

It isnt dark or sunny, because it clearly states "hidden in mist and cloud". So for a while i was between misty and cloudy. However I believe it is misty, because cloudy normally means that the sky is clouded, and in the passage it says that it is hidden. Now, i dont know about you, but clouds in the sky have never hidden anything but the sun from me. I think it means that it was as if there was a cloud on earth and that the cloud of mist hid where the men of winter live. Therefore, I believe the answer is the second choice, misty. Hope that helps! Please vote this answer the branliest, too! :)

A high school diploma is important to one's future. It is important because it proves one was willing to work hard to attain a high school education, and without one, it may potentially be difficult to obtain a job. Without a job, it hard to make enough money for a more than adequate life, as most people dream of. Another way a high school diploma is important to one's future is it allows them to further his or her education. High school diplomas look good to colleges and raise one's chances of getting accepted. In order to get into college, one just needs a G.E.D. or a General Education Diploma. High school and high school diplomas are very important to one's future because they help shape the outcome and help set up the amount of success that person will have. High school diplomas are important to one's future.
