Given:
<span>(2) "Let freedom ring” is a phrase which is used many times in his speech.
(3) "Let freedom ring” is a phrase that leads to an exciting conclusion.
The revised sentence that combines these two is:
</span><span>“Let freedom ring” is a phrase that is used many times to lead to an exciting conclusion.</span>
The best answer for this question would be:
The lack of desire to question the government.
In the excerpt, the question that is asked by George is
another way to ponder on how society does not questions the actions of the
government. If the people do not question these minor problems, society might turn chaotic.
Answer:
Monsieur Hamel's actions contribute to the development of both the theme and main idea within the story because he wants to show the students that no matter the circumstances, they should remember to not let the lessons they've learned go to waste.
In paragraph 30, it states,
"Thereupon he turned to the blackboard, took a piece of chalk, and, bearing on with all his might, he wrote in the largest letters he could: “VIVE LA FRANCE!”
Monsieur Hamel does not want the students to feel discouraged about the new life that they'll be forced into. He wants them to not forget everything and for them to continue learning French.
Answer:
- The First Witch provides a few example's of what she can do to a man - "drain him dry as hay" (line 18) or make him never sleep as in "Sleep shall neither night nor day / Hang upon his penthouse lid" (lines 19-20). The 'penthouse lid' is literally the upper eyelid, so the image is that 'sleep' can't 'hang' on the top eyelid to close it.
-
The witches' prophecy influences the actions of the characters, thus, causing them to do things they never before would have considered. In the case of Macbeth, an honorable and loyal soldier, we see the prophecy of becoming King opens him to dishonorable acts.... acts that multiply and become increasingly despicable. Rather than wait to see if the prophecies are in fact fated.... Macbeth helps them along and feels justified in doing so.
- This scene shows us that the witches do have some supernatural power, although we cannot know for certain just how much.
They tell Macbeth that he will be made the Thane of Cawdor, and this is not technically a prophecy because it has already happened: Duncan told Ross at the end of the prior scene to go and execute the Thane of Cawdor for treason, "And with his former title greet Macbeth" (1.2.76). Macbeth isn't aware that this has happened, however, and so when Ross approaches him to present him with his new title, it seems as though the Weird Sisters have foretold the future. It is possible that when they tell him that he will be king, they aren't prophesying but rather telling him something to manipulate him: they might just want to see what he'll be willing to do in order to make this statement become reality. If so, then they perhaps have no real ability to foretell future events.
However, they do vanish (according to the stage direction just after line 81). Being able to disappear into thin air does seem to indicate that they have some supernatural ability, if not the one they claim to possess. At the beginning of the scene, they discuss a number of things which, if they can really do them, would also indicate their supernatural natures: sailing anywhere in a sieve, torturing a man by preventing him from sleeping for a long period of time, controlling the winds, and so on.
- The witches prediction for Banquo: line 67, his children will be kings.
- Prediction for Macbeth: lines 49 and 50, that he is the Thane of Cawdor and will be the king soon.
- Macbeth doesn't believe their prediction because, as he says, "The Thane of Cawdor lives" (line 72), and for the prediction that he will become king, that's just a crazy stretch to Macbeth - it "Stands not within the prospect of belief" (line 74).
Hope this helps <3
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
An onomatopoeia is basically a word that represents a sound. Examples include swoosh, bang, oink, screech, etc.
In this excerpt, the onomatopoeia is shriek. This is like a terrified scream. We have four answer options that talk about how this onomatopoeia can make you feel.
1. Frustrated
2. Serious
3. Panicked
4. Disbelief
We see that the word shriek definitely matches with number three, so the answer is Poe uses onomatopoeia and rhyme to create a mood of panic. We see that there is rhyme here too. Speak and shriek rhyme.
Have a wonderful day! :D
