aleksandrvk [35]

The following sentence is written correctly:

B. The drum major performed badly because she forgot the routine.

Why not A, C or D?

A. The team played good in their championship game so they won. The word good should be replaced with the word well. An adverb describes a verb, the word well would describe how they played. Good is an adjective that describes a noun.

C. Ivan feels well about his choice to join the after-school program. The word well should be replaced with the word good. Whenever, one says someone is feeling well it refers to their health.

D. The gymnast felt badly because they had skipped breakfast. The word badlly should be replaced with the word bad.

Explain how Vonnegut uses flat, static characters like George Bergeron to develop his critique of 1950s American society

Anastaziya [24]

George Bergeron's character is, literally, extremely intelligent, strong, and capable. We know this because of the number of handicaps he is forced to wear by the government. His weights, for example, are so tiring that his wife suggests he risk removing them even thought the consequences are severe for doing so.
Because of his handicaps, George is a character who is incapable of changing, reacting to a situation, or even remembering what he his doing and he is such a rule-follower that he won't use his intelligence or strength to go against the government.
A reader can see that the handicaps put on George are a metaphor for the burdens that the majority of the population of America are encumbered by in real life. While most people don't have pounds of bird-shot strapped to their necks, it is clear that people ARE burdened by great amounts of debt, jobs that pay little, stresses like large families, consumerism, etc that hold them back from participating fully in life. The "handicaps'' of the story are literally meant to show how much weight we are putting on the wrong things in our lives.
Vonnegut uses characters like George to demonstrate how little people are actually living. They are flat, unfeeling, unemotional, and unable to communicate, resist, or change. It is obvious that George SHOULD react to seeing his son's violent death broadcast on national television, but he is completely incapable of doing so because of the handicaps attached to him. The lack of character development, coupled with the excellent description of George's strengths due to his handicaps is what allows a reader to understand that the character is meant to be criticized. Readers are meant to ask themselves, how could he not react? How could he not remember? Why won't he question the ideals of the government? Why won't he risk himself for something that could save his son?

As it is used in the passage, globe can best be defined as a

ludmilkaskok [199]

In the given passage, globe can be best described as a head.

Explanation:

The passage you were given is from the play Hamlet (full title: The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark), written by English poet, playwright, and actor William Shakespeare between 1599 and 1602. In the fifth scene of the first act, Hamlet says:

Remember thee! Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In this distracted globe.

In this scene, Hamlet speaks with the ghost, who claims to be his father's spirit and tells about how he was murdered in a foul and most unnatural way by his own brother, Claudius, who has successfully taken his throne. He is desperate as he is incapable of taking revenge and asks Hamlet to do that for him. This moves Hamlet, who swears to take revenge on his uncle. The word globe Hamlet uses here actually means head.
