Read the excerpt from Billy Collins’s “Man Listening to Disc.” And if any of you are curious about where this aggregation, this

whole battery-powered crew, is headed, let us just say that the real center of the universe, the only true point of view, is full of the hope that he, the hub of the cosmos with his hair blown sideways, will eventually make it all the way downtown. What message does Collins convey in this excerpt?

<span>In this portion of the poem, “Man Listening to Disc,” Collins is referencing how the narrator is so entwined with the music being listened to through earphones that the person and the band being listened to can be considered one unit.  One possible interpretation of these lines is the message that music has such a unique ability to be uplifting and build confidence that one could consider himself or herself the proverbial center of the universe.</span>

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Lady Macbeth and Macbeth go through an ambitious period. When Macbeth hears the witches promising his kingship, he plans to murder the king. King Duncan is his name. So he can become king. He fears of no doubt at this moment. (Act 1 Scene 3 pg 7) here he thinks of accepting being king. (Act 1 Scene 4 pg 2) Macbeth thinks of being king and murdering Duncan. (Act 1 Scene 5 pg 3) Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot on killing Duncan. (Act 1 Scene 7 pg 2) Macbeth reconsiders in killing Duncan. Macbeth begins to have doubts. (Act 1 Scene 7 pg 3) Lady Macbeth insists in killing Duncan.(Act 1 Scene 7 pg 4) Macbeth is now decided to kill the king, but he feels regret. After the murder of King Duncan he begins to have doubts because he knows that Banquo's descendants will take away the thrown and kingship from him. Therefore, this makes him go mad and insane, making him commit one murder after another so there will be no one in his way to stop him from being king. Macbeth's doubts cause him to go back to the witches to assure himself that no one will take the crown away from him. Doubts also make him act impulsively about certain matters. Lady Macbeth on the other hand over time she begins to feel guilt when she starts sleepwalking. (Act 5 Scene 1 pg 1-4) She say's in her sleep the murders she committed. She is repented. However, there is nothing she can do. Due to her insecurity, doubt, lack of sleep, etc she decides to commit suicide because the guilt was just to painful to handle. Both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth we see their character disintegration throught the whole play because of a wicked action they did. It's very helpful. Hope this helped :)

Answer:

He saw the dead black eyes of the general on him, studying him.

General Zaroff's face suddenly brightened.

Explanation:

Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game" revolves around the theme of the relationship between the hunter and the prey. Through the characters of the story, Connell gives a twist in the hunter-hunted domain, making the protagonist experience the life of a hunted.

Colonel Zaroff was the owner of the "Ship Trap" island where men are hunted for sport. When Rainsford Sanger got stuck in the island and was hosted initially by the Colonel, he was treated kindly, provided with food and also gave him information about the island and even the game. The next day, when Sanger refused to join him in the hunt and told him he wanted to leave, that was when COlonel Zaroff decided to make him his new prey. The two sentences that show the decision of the colonel in making Sanger his new game are

"He saw the dead black eyes of the general on him, studying him.

General Zaroff's face suddenly brightened."
