Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "That Spot" by Jack London? I don’t think much of Stephen Macka

ye any more, though I used to swear by him. I know that in those days I loved him more than my own brother. If ever I meet Stephen Mackaye again, I shall not be responsible for my actions. It passes beyond me that a man with whom I shared food and blanket, and with whom I mushed over the Chilcoot Trail, should turn out the way he did. I always sized Steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. I shall never trust my judgment in men again. Why, I nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the Stewart; and he saved my life on the Little Salmon. And now, after the years we were together, all I can say of Stephen Mackaye is that he is the meanest man I ever knew.

If the options are: <span>A. excited, B. ironic, C. indignant, and D. playful, the correct answer is C. indignant.

The narrator is very disappointed with </span><span>Stephen Mackaye. There is a stark contrast between what he used to feel for him and what he feels now. He used to trust, love, and respect him, and now he loathes him. The feeling of indignance spreads from Stephen to all people, as the narrator says he would never trust people again.</span>

Which of these sentences from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" is an example of allusion? A. It is the safe
Ede4ka [16]

The sentence from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" which is an example of allusion is the one we find in letter B. Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations?

One of the characters is mocked by being called Tetzel, who was a German Dominican preacher who sold "indulgences" (paid forgiveness for one's sins) in the 1500's. In the aforementioned sentence, there is an allusion to Martin Luther, who was openly against Tetzel and his "indulgences". An allusion is an indirect reference to something or someone, and Martin Luther is indirectly mentioned in the sense that it's like he is talking to his adversary. Except it's not Martin Luther himself speaking; it's one of the characters who try to impersonate him.

A famous singer recently came to give a talk to the students at your school about her life and work. Your head teacher has asked
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no further specific references, we can comment on the following.

This is my report.

It is always interesting to know more details about the life of famous people. In this case, this female singer that gave a lecture about the life of a musician was interesting, although she talked in general terms. I think it would have been more interesting if she could have talked about the details of the music business for new musicians or the way she had to overcome adversities to become a popular artist.

I say this because there are many texts and references on the internet about the music business. However, there is such little information about the specifics, the details. And popular artists like her could be able to share good information with students about the details of the music business.

My suggestion is that we could invite these famous people but we should ask them to center their speech on specific issues so the talk could be useful. If they talk about general issues or about their lives, many books and pages already include their bios and general information.

We, as students, need more focused topics, that only listen to general information or the artist's public life that is already known.

How does Shakespeare use foreshadowing and imagery to highlight the theme of predestination and emphasize the coming deaths of R
Assoli18 [71]
<span>Death being discussed in this play is foreshadowing. The author is hinting that Romeo and Juliet will die or at least that someone will die. Foreshadowing is a good way to give your audience a hint about what is to come so they will feel suspense and will try to see what will happen next.</span>
