Answer:
Explanation:
Setting and tone/mood can be seen to go hand in hand, so to speak. For instance, a scene of a story or poem that takes place in a field of flower on a bright and sunny day would contribute to a tone of happiness. That said, the time 1984 occurs is in the future for the characters of the novel. The place is London, and the weather and color are, respectively, dreary and gray. Because the future can never be known for sure, this uncertainty contributes to the dystopian tone. Likewise, when one thinks about the miserable nature for people that would be caused by a dystopian society, bright and sunny are not what one might generally think. Setting in 1984 contributes to the tone of dystopia because when one pictures what a dystopia might look like, smoggy, foggy, and gray are probably what come to mind.
This scene occurs when Balfour is on the small islet. Balfour gives into despair when he tires to cross the river but cannot -- it is too deep. He finds that his "yard" (a piece of wood he was saving to float on) has been carried away. Believing he has no way to escape the islet, he gives into despair and weeps.
Answer: B. Stupidity
Explanation:
The question relates to the work of Friedrich Nietzche in his essay, "Morality as Anti-Nature".
In this essay he makes his disapproval of morality taught by Religion known as he posits that the fundamental thing wrong with morality is it's ties to Religion.
In paragraph 12, he speaks to how the Priest, a representation of the leadership of the church, has through his holy WITLESSNESS, has failed to be understanding and compassionate and as a result, they that are have found a way to utilize it ij their favor.
This infers that the Priest has been stupid to behave in the manner described meaning therefore that Witlessness here speaks to Stupidity.
This paragraph develops the characters in the dialogue by showing that Adam is afraid of what is in the water, but Laura is fearless and likes to tease him.
This text is providing characterization by telling the reader how differently the two characters react to their environment in a narrative of events.
Adam is shown as fearful through indirect characterization:
- "stepped ... carefully;"
- "winced;"
- "nearly screamed."
On the other hand, Laura is directly described by the narrator as someone who "wasn't afraid of anything." Other hints from the text signal to the reader that she is enthusiastic and adventurous:
- "She was the type to dive off a cliff and not even think about what was in the water below;"
- "it’s so cool!"
Her "scooping a crab into her hand" and bringing it closer to her face is what is interpreted by the narrator as teasing, because Laura is gently mocking his fears by showing how close you can get to what Adam perceives as a danger.
