Answer:

“It was as though madness had infected all of us.”

Explanation:

A mad person cannot be held responsible for his or her actions, so by saying that 'madness had infected' all of them, the author is trying to justify their binding and gagging Mrs. Schachter because the situation was really intolearble for all of the prisoners.  

"Our terror could no longer be contained. Our nerves had reached a breaking point. Our very skin was aching. It was as though madness had infected all of us. We gave up."

Read this excerpt from Ani's evaluation of Dan DeLuca's argument in his article "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics
Afina-wow [57]

Ani says that Dan Deluca wrote an article that contradicts his stance of the Nobel being well deserved at times, the two sentences of said article that show this kind of contradiction are:

Many of Dylan’s most fervently loved songs—some of which actually are love songs—date from the 1960s, and his being honored at age 75 can be seen as an ultimate affirmation for the baby boomer generation.

and

And it’s a good thing [his lyrics] have been published, because if you’ve gone to see the famously sneering and syllable-garbling Dylan play live in recent years, you probably couldn’t understand a word he was singing.

this is because they say that the Nobel might be a product of simple nostalgia and they undermine Dylan as an artist, plus these seem to not be quotes from detractors but something Dan DeLuca is saying himself

What is the theme of “Pastoral” by Jennifer Chang?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

I believe the theme of "Pastoral" is<u> </u><u>"adaptation." </u>

Explanation:

"Pastoral" is a poem written by <em>Jennifer Chang</em>, an American scholar and poet. The poem is part of her collection called<u> "The History of Anonymity."</u> It is a type of<em> lyrical poem</em> whereby the writer expresses her emotions through <u>nature</u>, such as<em> plants, fruits, grass, weeds, etc. </em>

The theme of Pastoral is<u> "adaptation."</u> It talks about <u><em>how nature adapts to what is happening in the surrounding environment.</em></u> For example, it mentioned <em>"Something in the field has mastered distance by living too close to fences."</em> This shows how such part of nature mastered its situation by living close to the fences.

The poem also shows how some cannot master such situation as it's mentioned in the end<em>, "Something in the field cannot." </em>This also shows "survival of the fittest." One example of this is<em> grass fighting with the weeds. </em>This happens when both fight for the nutrients in the soil. This is part of nature which they adapt to wherein only the strong one survives.
