Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.” Doodle was frightened of being left. “Don’t go leave me, Brother,” he cried, and he le

aned toward the coffin. His hand, trembling, reached out, and when he touched the casket he screamed. A screech owl flapped out of the box into our faces, scaring us and covering us with Paris green. Doodle was paralyzed, so I put him on my shoulder and carried him down the ladder, and even when we were outside in the bright sunshine, he clung to me, crying, “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.” What do Doodle’s repeated pleas of “Don’t leave me” foreshadow? Once the narrator returns to school, he leaves Doodle at home and forgets all of his plans to help him. After Doodle refuses to touch the casket, the narrator refuses to help Doodle and leaves him alone in the loft. Later in the story, the narrator races ahead and leaves Doodle to struggle behind during a terrible storm. When Doodle struggles to learn to walk, the narrator leaves and Doodle is left sitting alone in Old Woman Swamp.

When Doodle keeps crying, "Don't leave me. Don't leave me," the reader is being prepared for the fact that his brother will, in fact, leave Doodle. Unfortunately, when he does leave Doodle, the results will be disastrous.

Doodle, as we know, is not a healthy child. The narrator struggles with having a sickly brother but soon comes to love him. Although Doodle remains weak, he eventually learns to crawl. The narrator vows to teach him to walk so he can be normal.

The two practice in secret and soon Doodle learns to walk. The narrator is not satisfied with these results and pushes his sick brother to go further. They train in the swamp, far from the house, so they do not get in trouble.

As they are "training," a storm comes in. Doodle has already been tired from his training and does not have the ability to run home. The narrator, however, runs home to escape the storm, leaving Doodle behind. When the narrator goes back to look for him, he finds Doodle has collapsed and died. The blood on his neck connects him to the scarlet ibis they earlier found dead. Both were fragile and both were alone when they died.

The narrator deserves a certain amount of blame for not only pushing his brother further then he was capable but also of leaving him behind during the frightening storm. Therefore, the best answer is that Doodle yelling "Don't leave me" best foreshadows when "the narrator races ahead and leaves Doodle to struggle behind during a terrible storm."

The following passage is biologist Hope Jahren’s prologue to her 2016 memoir Lab Girl. A prologue is an introduction that provid
bearhunter [10]

Answer: Jahren is a biologist who has a soft spot for leaves, trees and other life giving plant. In Jahren's prologue, she answered people who wanted to know why she didn't study the ocean though she lives in Hawaii. Jahren is concerned about the fate of trees and plants in the world. She believes that a lot of tree are being fell without adequately replacement and that this affects nature.

According to her, each plant or tree that is felled, is an unnecessary death and she doesn't care whether the plants were lacking in one vitamin or whether the plant is big or small. She believes that the first vital step to becoming a scientist is to care, and not necessarily by ones knowledge of biology, physics, or chemistry.

Some rhetorical choices were made when she said "Someone died? and

Maybe I can convince you" while trying to explain why plants should not be unnecessarily killed.

Write an essay comparing and contrasting the depiction of the character Macbeth in Shakespeare’s play Macbeth and in Raphael Hol
alexira [117]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>In both Holinshed and Shakespeare's work, Macbeth is the main character that the audience anticipates. Holinshed created an admirable gent who did not want the death of Mackdonwald. But Shakespeare makes Macbeth a villain by making the character glory being a murderer. Shakespeare changed Macbeth from his Holinshed inspiration to discuss the political issues of his play.Albeit the vast majority of Shakespeare's play " Mac Beth " isn't truly precise, MacBeth's life is the subject of the disaster. There are characters and occasions that depend on obvious occasions and genuine people at the same time, Shakespeare's "Macbeth " varies altogether from history's Macbeth. The primary case of a contrast between the Shakespeare "Macbeth" and verifiable Mac Beth is the demise of Duncan I. In Shakespeare's " Mac Beth ", Duncan I was killed by Macbeth.A prediction said to Mac Beth by one of the three witches "All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be King hereafter1 ." was what incited Gruoch, MacBeth's better half to plot the homicide of Duncan I as he rested in their mansion. Ever, Mac Beth built up himself as the King of Scots in the wake of slaughtering his cousin Duncan I, fighting close Elgin not as in Shakespeare's play by executing him in his rest. Duncan, I was executed on August 14, 1040. Macintosh Beth at that point ruled as ruler for a long time. As recently expressed Duncan I and Mac Beth were cousins, a reality not brought out in the play.</em>

Why is racism a socially corrosive trait?
MrRissso [65]
Racism is a socially corrosive trait is because we grow up empathizing with other people, with all people regardless of all people and when people are subjected to racist qualities they begin to not be empathetic toward a group of people. Not being empathetic is very degenerating of your conscience, Then people who are being treated like subordinates start to lash out and assimilate all people who are like the one person who treated them in-equally.So people who are racist create a quick downward spiral of peoples trust in people who resemble physically or mentally the people that mistreated them in the first place.
