‘My application’s not bought,’ I am telling them, calling into the darkness of the red cave that opens out before closed eyes. ‘

I am not just a boy who plays tennis. I have an intricate history. Experiences and feelings. I’m complex. ‘I read,’ I say. ‘I study and read. I bet I’ve read everything you’ve read. Don’t think I haven’t. I consume libraries. I wear out spines and ROM-drives. I do things like get in a taxi and say, “The library, and step on it.” My instincts concerning syntax and mechanics are better than your own, I can tell, with due respect. What conclusion can readers draw about this character vs. society conflict? The narrator is uncomfortable and defensive. The narrator has destroyed school property. The narrator earns good grades in school. The narrator is being punished for his behavior.

In at least 150 words, describe Socrates' philosophical method, how it works, and what type of knowledge is attained
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: The Elenchus

Explanation: Socrates' method of philosophy is most commonly known as The Elenchus or the dialectical method. Knowledge gained from this method was considered by Aristotle to be 'dialectical knowledge'. Dialectical knowledge was said to form the boundary between the theoretical and the practical aspects of knowledge.

The method of the Elenchus was (and still is, I assume), the following:

1. Raise the most important question (a kind of 'theory' or later 'thesis').

2. Investigate the question thoroughly to make sure that the very best answer is reached, by raising further questions, answering each of them ("they being smaller questions, it will be easier to answer them" --- paraphrasing Plato)

3. At the conclusion of the inquiry, to declare if the problem is solved, and if so, in what way of definition.

4. To continue philosophizing.

However, in Athens, Socrates' particular application of the Elenchus earned him the reputation of a 'gadfly' --- someone who perhaps didn't have the best good in mind (although, according to Plato, Socrates was always a helpful person, and didn't ask for any payments).

Read this excerpt from a play.
Degger [83]

The setting detail that reveals the celebratory mood is, "He looks around indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake''.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Celebratory as the name suggests, is celebrating one’s happy moment publicly. Celebratory mood is simply a feeling of happiness and pride. From the line, “He looks around indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake” we can clearly figure out Jesse’s celebratory mood.

The words ‘streamers’, ‘balloons’, ‘cake’ in itself are an indication of contented and cheerful moments being celebrate. When Jesse says ‘thank you all for coming, I’m so glad’, right after this statement the author describes the way Jesse is overwhelmed by looking at all the decorations.
