Identify a central theme or idea of"The Monkey's Paw" and analyze the way plot, character, and setting help develop this theme.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The main themes in the "The Monkey's Paw" are fate, Orientalism, the supernatural, and death. Fate: As Sergeant-Major Morris says, "Fate ruled people's lives," and those who interfere with fate suffer the consequences. Also it tells that It is not wise to trust strangers, even when they promise to be loyal to you. Ignoring the wisdom and experience of others can lead to terrible consequences. You should never give up, even if you think a problem is impossible to solve.

Charecters:

Herbert White

The son of Mr. and Mrs. White. Herbert is an irreverent, affectionate, and loyal young man and the only surviving child of the Whites. He works in an unidentified capacity with heavy machinery at a company called Maws and Meggins. It is possible, although not certain, that Mr. White’s second wish reanimates Herbert as a terrifying corpse.

Mrs. White

Herbert’s father and Mrs. White’s husband. Mr. White is an old man who is both curious and malleable. A poor man, he thinks longingly about the exotic lands he has never visited. The monkey’s paw fascinates him in part because of its connection to those lands. Although it is Mr. White who makes all three wishes, he makes the first two only at the suggestions of his wife and son.

Sergeant- Major Morris

A friend of the Whites. A mysterious and possibly sinister figure, Sergeant-Major Morris enjoys talking about his adventures abroad and shows the Whites his monkey’s paw, in spite of his professed reservations. A jaded and world-weary man, he discourages Mr. White from dreaming of India, suggesting that life is better and simpler at home in England. He throws the monkey’s paw into the fire and urges Mr. White not to make any wishes, but he ultimately tells him exactly how to make a wish.

The representative

The man who informs Mr. and Mrs. White of Herbert’s death. The nervous representative sympathizes with the Whites and tries to distance himself from Maw and Meggins’s failure to take responsibility, stressing that he is following orders and not expressing his own feelings. He gives Mr. and Mrs. White two hundred pounds from the company.

Answers

This question is about the book called "Born A Crime" by Trevor Noah

Answer and Explanation:

Noah's mother was South African and her father was a Swiss. During the apartheind marriage between them was forbidden, but Noah's father wanted to have a relationship with his mother, while Noah's mother wanted to have a child, but did not want a man in her life. This allowed Noah's mother to have a relationship (even though it was considered a crime) and to get pregnant, without having to marry Noah's father, and this allowed Noah's father to have a relationship with Noah's mother, without having to assume and taking care of a future child. That's what happened, but when Noah was born and he was neither a white child nor a black child, he was considered a crime, since the relationship between whites and blacks was illegal and he was clearly the result of such a relationship.

Give me a paragraph about how you face your greatest challenges using one or more
types of context clues.​

Answers

One of my greatest challenges is dealing with people’s changing moods and context clues make it possible to recognize people’s moods. A cold glance instead of a nice smile tells me to walk away and wait for a better day. Beef that up and make it a paragraph - it’s a reasonable start.

A paragraph about how I faced my greatest challenges is analyzed below:

One of my challenges was public speaking. While growing up, I was shy and an introvert. I was always in my shell. This affected my confidence when I grew up, I found it hard to talk to people especially strangers.

This shattered my confidence in school too. Slowly, I gained confidence by reading more and starting conversations with people. This helped me to overcome the challenge.

Why wearing kits important for football....explain and justify the kits that girl would wear for football....nd the purpose of it????​

Answers

Answer:

In association football, kit (also referred to as a strip or uniform) is the standard equipment and attire worn by players. The sport's rules specify the minimum kit which a player must use, and also prohibit the use of anything that is dangerous to either the player or another participant. Individual competitions may stipulate further restrictions, such as regulating the size of logos displayed on shirts and stating that, in the event of a match between teams with identical or similar colours, the away team must change to different coloured attire.

Footballers generally wear identifying numbers on the backs of their shirts. Originally a team of players wore numbers from 1 to 11, corresponding roughly to their playing positions, but at the professional level this has generally been superseded by squad numbering, whereby each player in a squad is allocated a fixed number for the duration of a season. Professional clubs also usually display players' surnames or nicknames on their shirts, above (or, infrequently, below) their squad numbers.

Football kit has evolved significantly since the early days of the sport when players typically wore thick cotton shirts, knickerbockers and heavy rigid leather boots. In the twentieth century, boots became lighter and softer, shorts were worn at a shorter length, and advances in clothing manufacture and printing allowed shirts to be made in lighter synthetic fibres with increasingly colourful and complex designs. With the rise of advertising in the 20th century, sponsors' logos began to appear on shirts, and replica strips were made available for fans to purchase, generating significant amounts of revenue for clubs.

The ancient Chinese had remarkably advanced ways of writing that had a long-lasting effect on the language.Chinese is one of the oldest written languages, dating to the Shang period (1600 to 1046 BC). Chinese scholars have uncovered written documents from this period that show an early form of present-day Chinese characters. The writing looked more like pictures than the standard characters of today. It consisted of phonetic signs, or signs that mimic human speech. During the Shang period, more than 3,000 characters were in use. Scholars have deciphered about 1,000 of those characters. Considering that modern Chinese uses about 3,500 characters consistently, the ancient Chinese created a written language that has remained relevant and evolved over time.

Identify the climax in “The Interlopers” and explain how the climax and the falling action reveal the central idea or theme of the short story. Use evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be one to two complete paragraphs.

Answers

Answer:

The climax of this conflict comes as the two men shout to beckon what they think are their hunters. Moreover, this climax is really the point of highest intensity in the story, and it comes near the end as is customary for climaxes.

Having reconciled their differences, the two men, enemies who have begun a friendship, decide that since the wind has lessened, they may be able to reach the hearing of their hunters who are patrolling the wooded strip of land. Ulrich suggests,

"Let's shout for help...in this lull our voices may carry a little way."

Georg observes that it will be almost impossible for their voices to carry through the dense forest with its trees and undergrowth: "...but we can try. Together then." And the two men raise their voices together. Soon, Ulrich tells Georg that he has heard something; however, Georg replies that he has heard nothing. After a silence of a few moments, Ulrich cries out joyfully, "I can see figures coming through the woods."

Together both men summon the figures by shouting as loud as they can. After a few moments, Ulrich cries out in joy,

"They hear us! They've stopped. Now they see us. They're running down the hill toward us."

"Who are they?" asks Georg, who hopes his men are on the way so that he can be the first one to extend courtesies to his new friend. But, Ulrich would rather that he did not recognize them, nor have called them: "Wolves."

1). I think family should always stay together because it really helps create a bond with people and whenever you’re in trouble you have somebody to go to and it’s just a good way to always have the communication and it causes less of a problem with mental health issues when you have family members that always stick together

2.) I feel like if you have a good family in a good stable relationship this could be very important to somebody’s life in the decisions you make always route from what you think is best for your family sometimes and I think that this is very important because you’re taking other people into consideration

3.) The beauty of the world lies and mysteries because we have so much we haven’t discovered and even the stuff we have discovered is so beautiful it’s always going to be a mystery and whatever we discover is always going to be beautiful and then mysteriously of the world brings can always come out as a bad thing but always be turned to good

What is fiction literature?
O Literature that have real people and events.
O Events and people described are not real in this literature.
O Facts that can be proven to be true
O A Biography is an example of fiction literature.

Answers

Answer:

Events and people described are not real in this literature

Answer:

B/the second answer.

Explanation:

Fiction means it is not something that has actually happened in reality. Non-fiction is literature that has real people and events (the first answer), and they can include facts that can be proven true (the third answer). A biography is an example of a non-fiction because it explains the story of a person's life (the last answer). So, if the first, third, and last answer describe non-fiction, the second answer should be correct, and it is! Like I said, fiction literature has things that have never actually happened, even though they can be based on real life events...Anyways, as the second answer says, events and people described are not real in this literature, so it's the right answer.
