Lady Bracknell is concerned with social status and this is achieved through marriage. She shows this frivolous interest mainly through the comments she makes every time she intervenes to make her daughter ,Gwendolen, marry "an eligible young man". Lady Bracknell is more interested in the husband's social status than in the person itself. When she gives dinner parties, she sends her husband to have dinner downstairs with the servants. When she learns that Jack, Gwendolen's potential husband, was abandoned in a bag at a railway station, she gets angry and tells him she does not want her daughter " to form any alliance with a parcel". She also makes frivolous comments about education. She criticises educated people because she thinks they are dangerous for the English upper-class.

The aspect of Lady Bracknell's behavior that Wilde uses to poke fun at the importance placed on frivolous events in formal society is the fact that she is very concerned about a party instead of taking care of Mr. Bunbury's health.

Oscar Wilde uses his play "The Importance of being Earnest" to critique in a humorous way the society in Victorian times. Lady Bracknell is a clear example of the way people behaved at thay time.

It's such a typical scene, mass delirium, however we more often than not observe it in a considerably less uncommon shape. In a nursery, when one infant begins crying, they all begin crying. At the point when a couple of children on a play area begin singling out somebody, the rest float around, cheer, and possibly get a kick or two. At the point when there is a radical deal on wedding outfits, groups of individuals go insane.

Which of the following best describes Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell, and Frank Norris's impact on journalism? They were among the
True [87]

Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell and Frank Norris were amont the first journalists to publicize immoral, corrupt practices of large industries during the Progressive Era.

Upton Sinclair was an American writer who won the Pulitzer Prize. In 1904, Fred Warren, editor of the socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason, commissioned him a report on the bad practices of the food industry that would become the novel The Jungle, an unprecedented sales success and a huge international commotion.  As a consequence, President Theodore Roosevelt received the author in the White House and put in place laws to ensure the quality of food for human consumption.

Ida Tarbell was an American professor, writer and journalist, considered one of the main "muckrakers" of the Progressive Era.  She is known for her research on John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company; her investigations exposed the unfair monopolistic practices carried out by the company until the Supreme Court decided to dissolve the monopoly.

Frank Norris was an American correspondent and novelist. Between 1895 and 1896, he worked as a correspondent in South Africa. Between 1896 and 1897, he was assistant editor of the San Francisco Wave. During the Spanish-American War, Norris was a correspondent in Cuba for McClure's magazine, being critical of American interventionist policies in the war.

Crazy boy [7]
I already used this for a test so you might want to rephrase it:

<span>Scientists have often wondered what bellybutton lint is made up of. An Austrain chemist named Georg Steinhauser decided to find out, and since he had a belly button, he searched himself! He examined over 500 pieces to see what the lint has occupied. He found that it has cotton from clothes, AND dead skin, sweat, basically the stuff our body resists and extracts. Goerg Steinhauser found all this out within a teeny tiny part of your stomach.

Hope this helps!
