In at least 150 words, explain three ways in which Flannery O’Connor’s short story “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” exemplifies the
Kay [80]

Southern Gothic is a genre with a mood that combines Southern details, such as small-town life, with terror or suspense. Unlike early gothic literature about vampires and ghosts, Flannery O’Connor and others began writing about the monsters around us in everyday life. A key characteristic of this genre is having deeply flawed characters. In “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” both the grandmother and The Misfit are deeply flawed characters for very different reasons. The Misfit is a murderer who seems to have been created by a failed penal system, while the grandmother seems like a proper lady at first, but turns out to be selfish, a racist, and ultimately gets her whole family killed. It is through these characters that O’Connor explores the theme of good and evil, and whether people are truly capable of change.

. What can you infer about how Gandhi feels about passive resistance? Cite text evidence to support your response.​
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Gandhi likely agrees with passive resistance as the text states, “The consequence is not the progress of a nation but its decline …. No country has ever become, or will ever become, happy through victory in war. A nation does not rise that way; it only falls further. In fact, what comes to it is defeat, not victory. And if, perchance, either our act or our purpose was ill-conceived, it brings disaster to both belligerents.”

Drag each tile to the correct box.
Tema [17]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question, with the underline words.

Match the underlined word in each verse to its meaning in the context of the poem.  

the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music  

a silly or foolish person  

meaning, weight, or significance  

reward  

a small stream  

1. "In which the <u>burthen </u>of the mystery, / In which the heavy and the weary weight of all this unintelligible world, / Is lightened:"  (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)  

2. "Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / Have followed; for such  

loss, I would believe, / Abundant <u>recompence</u>"  (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)  

3. "Hold offl unhand me, grey-beard <u>loon</u>!"  (from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)  

4. "nor yet beside the <u>rill</u>, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;"   (from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray)  

5. "Where was heard the mingled measure. From the fountain and the caves."   (from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Answer:

burthen - meaning, weight, or significance

recompence - reward

loon - a silly of foolish person

rill - a small stream

measure - the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

Explanation:

When we read the word burthen, we notice it looks and sounds similar to "burden". That's because burthen is an archaic spelling of "burden". A burden refers to something heavy, difficult to carry around. Thus, burthen means "weight"

Recompence, nowadays more commonly spelled "recompense", is a synonym for reward.

Add an extra -y to loon, and you'll get loony. That can help you guess what it means, even if not precisely: a silly, foolish person, someone who does not see things in an ordinary manner.

Even though it is not a usual word, rill is the same as a small stream or brook.

Last but not least, measure refers to the rhythm of a poem or a piece of music. Just like the words above, it is not commonly used nowadays. We tend to use the words "beat" or "rhythm" in this case.
