I don’t think Colonel Sherburn is a coward as he accuses the mob to be. He killed a man alright, but he has warned Boggs beforehand to stop his annoying behavior, and he didn’t. He killed the man in brought daylight, when everyone could see him, and did it alone. This is proof of a brave man, he says, he does what he does all by himself, without asking for permission or forgiveness. On the other hand, the mob procures its braveness from the gathering of people, “they don’t fight with courage that’s born in them, but with courage that’s borrowed from their mass”. At least, Colonel Sherburn is coherent with his own definition of braveness.

I think this passage contributes with the general theme of the book, of man’s inhumanity to man, by showing how the law of the strongest works. The strong will always crush the weak, he/she doesn’t care while he/she lives the way he/she wants.

kupik [55]

Answer:

  • The realistic story around a Negro insurance official, dentist, general practitioner, undertaker and the like would be most revealing.
  • The realization that Negroes are no better nor no worse, and at times just as bonny as everybody else, will hardly kill off the population of the nation.

In this excerpt, Zora Neale Hurston discusses the importance of telling the stories of average African Americans. She argues that the stories that are told of this population always center on those of extraordinary people. These, she argues, are entertaining and familiar. However, the stories of common people are the most revealing. They are the ones that will prove that African Americans are just as human as everybody else.

Arthur Miller's script for The Crucible begins with a dramatic exposition that explains that Parris "cut a villainous path, and
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The sentence that describes the best impact of the audio performance's departure from the script is:

A. Instead of telling the audience directly, the audio performance lets the audience infer that Parris is a bad man

Explanation:

The reasons behind this asnwer are the following:

First of all, the script doesn't tell the actor how to play the part of Parris in this scene. It only communicates the event. So b) is incorrect. Now, the script intention is not to dislike or like, it is to tell a story. Otherwise, it would be an opinion not a script. So c) is incorrect. Then, d) could be a very good option. But again. the script doesn't' look to make a judgment but to tell a story.

NEED A ANSWER LIKE NOOOWW PLZ WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Bilbo.

Explanation:

It does seem like he is leading the quest with all the information that I have to work with. He understood the rune to make the door open, and based on the information, it doesn't seem like Thorin has done anything, really. It also seems like Bilbo has more experience with the stuff that has happened so far.

Bilbo understood the rune, and Thorin didn't.

This is just based on the information I have, I'm not sure if Thorin did something or not.
