The statement is a theme of the novel. Typically, it is because novels have narrative and characters' arc. Here, the protagonists encounter negative and positive experiences where they make a decision. And in every decision, it triggers the characters to internalize very well their actions. Thus, making them more careful. 

A lot of novels such as The Ghostwriter by Alessandra de Torre, Harry Potter by J.K Rowling possess this kind of theme.

In The Ghostwriter, Helena Ross suffers from the guilt of killing her family and brain cancer. This causes her to be imperious and hateful to other people as she grows up.  But she has experienced positivity, where Mark, her friend, helps her to become alive again and take away her burden. In the end, Helena becomes human with gladness in her heart.

In Harry Potter, look at how Harry Potter becomes stronger even without his parents and Sirius. He looks very lonely, sometimes discriminated by the Malfoys. However, in the end, he defeats Voldemort because he believes he has still friends beside him. 

The point is when negative and positive experience overlap, it creates a power that truly pushes a person to act, to make decisions, and be the person he or she really is.

For the novel: Their Eyes Were Watching God

“Negative experiences, as well as positive ones, strengthen us and can help us become the person we are meant to be.”

This could be a theme of the novel. When we follow Janie back in time and watch her girlhood end, we see that only her physical needs are met. Most importantly, she lacks the nurturing love of her parents and is instead choked by Nanny’s overbearing protectiveness. When Janie’s forced marriage to Logan results in a similarly overbearing love, we watch her spirit crumble and reemerge disillusioned, though not defeated: “Janie’s first dream was dead, so she became a woman.” From here, we watch her continue to search for the mutually uplifting love she witnessed between the bee and blossoms. And after years of hurt and humiliation in her two failed marriages, we finally see her realize her heart’s desire of respectful love in her marriage to Tea Cake. In Hurston’s novel, she seems to stating universal truths and making observations about life.

Penn commits a tort while acting in the interest of her undisclosed principal. Who is responsible or liable? Principal and agent
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Principal Only.

Explanation:

The word 'tort' is borrowed from Latin word 'tortum' which means 'wrong, or injustice.' Thus, the word tort means to cause an injury or harm to someone or someone's property.

Tort is committed in many ways. <u>'Agency Relationship Liability Tort'</u> is the type of tort in which a principal and an agent is required. In such torts, a principal will be held responsible directly in cases when he fails to supervise his agent, when he directly commands his agent to commit tort, or when he neglects to check the background of the agent while hiring.

<u>In the given case, the unnamed principal will be held directly responsible for guiding Penn to commit tort. Because Penn committed tort in the interest of her undisclosed principal</u>.

Thus the correct answer is 'Principal Only.'

Compare and contrast W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." Wha

<u>Compare and contrast W. H. Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and William Carlos Williams's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." </u>

<u>What similarities and differences do you see in the way the poets present ideas to the reader?</u>

The most important similarity between W.H. Auden and William Carlos Williams' poems is that both describe Pieter Brueghel's painting <em>Landscape With The Fall of Icarus</em>. Both poets illustrate the scene and all its surroundings with detail. Both poets exemplify with imagery the painting's scene and what it depicts.

<u>Nevertheless, the poets do differ in other elements:</u>

  • Auden presents his poem using free verse and divides it into two long stanzas without any rhyme. Although William Carlos Williams doesn't use rhyme either, he keeps a more traditional construction by dividing the poem into six stanzas with three lines in each.
  • Auden reflects on suffering and the burden of routine depicted in the painting with more delicate and meditative observations. He mentions Icarus in the second stanza and contemplates his psyche in a deeper way. Williams, on the other hand, presents his ideas in a concise manner. He states the reader the facts and describes the painting with concrete examples. He mentions Icarus since the first stanza but doesn't concentrate on what he might have felt or what others might be feeling in that precise moment.
  • Auden sensed the painting and tells the reader his experience when he saw it.  Williams is an observer. He tells the reader a descriptive summary of what he saw without delving into his inner experience and thoughts.
