Promptly at 8:00 a.m., the doorbell rang. Letting out another deep sigh, Paul pulled
himself up off the couch and walked to the door. Opening it, he discovered a small,
shriveled, white-haired man staring up at him with piercing blue eyes.
"Mr. Candor?" the man said in a voice that was much larger than he was.
"Uh, no, sir. My father isn't home right now. I can give you his work number if you'd
like to call him," replied Paul.
"Mr. Paul Candor is who I'm looking for," said the man. "Is that you?"
"Oh, yes, sir. That's me. You must be my tutor," said Paul, in a voice that didn't hide
his skepticism.
"Yes, I'm Mr. Valentine. Let's get to work."
Paul welcomed Mr. Valentine into the house and they sat at the kitchen table and
began to work.
When an author introduces a new character in a short story, he or she must quickly
establish the character's key traits. In this portion of the narrative, the author misses
an opportunity to develop Mr. Valentine. Rewrite this section of the story to better
establish Mr. Valentine as a complex character. (15 points)

In the Great Gatsby chapter 4, what happens when Nick and Gatsby run into Tom Buchanan, ?

Answers

Answer:

Nick ists all of the people who attended Gatsby’s parties that summer, a roll call of the nation’s most wealthy and powerful people. He then describes a trip that he took to New York with Gatsby to eat lunch. As they drive to the city, Gatsby tells Nick about his past, but his story seems highly improbable. He claims, for instance, to be the son of wealthy, deceased parents from the Midwest. When Nick asks which Midwestern city he is from, Gatsby replies, “San Francisco.” Gatsby then lists a long and preposterously detailed set of accomplishments: he claims to have been educated at Oxford, to have collected jewels in the capitals of Europe, to have hunted big game, and to have been awarded medals in World War I by multiple European countries. Seeing Nick’s skepticism, Gatsby produces a medal from Montenegro and a picture of himself playing cricket at Oxford.

Gatsby’s car speeds through the valley of ashes and enters the city. When a policeman pulls Gatsby over for speeding, Gatsby shows him a white card, and the policeman apologizes for bothering him. In the city, Gatsby takes Nick to lunch and introduces him to Meyer Wolfsheim, who, he claims, was responsible for fixing the 1919 World Series. Wolfsheim is a shady character with underground business connections. He gives Nick the impression that the source of Gatsby’s wealth might be unsavory, and that Gatsby may even have ties to the sort of organized crime with which Wolfsheim is associated.

After lunch in New York, Nick sees Jordan Baker, who finally tells him the details of her mysterious conversation with Gatsby at the party. She relates that Gatsby told her that he is in love with Daisy Buchanan. According to Jordan, during the war, before Daisy married Tom, she was a beautiful young girl in Louisville, Kentucky, and all the military officers in town were in love with her. Daisy fell in love with Lieutenant Jay Gatsby, who was stationed at the base near her home. Though she chose to marry Tom after Gatsby left for the war, Daisy drank herself into numbness the night before her wedding, after she received a letter from Gatsby. Daisy has apparently remained faithful to her husband throughout their marriage, but Tom has not. Jordan adds that Gatsby bought his mansion in West Egg solely to be near Daisy.

Nick remembers the night he saw Gatsby stretching his arms out to the water and realizes that the green light he saw was the light at the end of Daisy’s dock. According to Jordan, Gatsby has asked her to convince Nick to arrange a reunion between Gatsby and Daisy. Because he is terrified that Daisy will refuse to see him, Gatsby wants Nick to invite Daisy to tea. Without Daisy’s knowledge, Gatsby intends to come to the tea at Nick’s house as well, surprising her and forcing her to see him.

“Candide:” Which of the following inferences is best supported by the excerpt?
The castle of Westphalia seems like a utopia but there are many darker sides
to it.
b) The castle of Westphalia is ruled by strong women.
c) Physical appearances are not important in Westphalia.
d) Candide is given respect because of his noble birth.

Answers

Answer:

D. Candide is given respect because of his noble birth is the following inferences that best supported by the excerpt.

Explanation:

Voltaire was a French historian and one of the greatest writers from the Age of Enlightenment period.

Voltaire’s Candide has many themes, but the most central is the inadequacy of optimistic thinking.

Candide was a protest against a naive optimism that ignored the granite might of human meanness, ignorance, and irrationality.

Candide is an illegitimate son of the Baron's sister and stays in the castle of Westphalia.

He gets an education in the castle from Pangloss who taught him, "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds".

Therefore we can conclude that Candide is given respect as being noble birth.

Thus option D. Candide is given respect because of his noble birth is the correct option.

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 3, scene 2.

ANTONY. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend1445
me your ears.
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interrèd with their bones.
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious.1450
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—
For Brutus is an honourable man,
So are they all, all honourable men—1455
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me.
But Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,1460
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,1465
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?

Which conclusion does this excerpt best support?

Antony agrees with Brutus’ definition of ambition.
Antony wants to make the people angry by manipulating the words of Brutus and favoring Caesar.
Antony believes that Brutus and the others are as virtuous as Caesar.
Antony wishes that Caesar would have been more generous and a better friend.

47

Answers

Answer:

Antony wants to make the people angry by manipulating the words of Brutus and favoring Caesar.

Explanation:

In the excerpt of Antony's speech above, he clearly does not agree with Brutus' description of Caesar as an ambitious person. The rhetorical questions he asked and the answers to them show clearly that Caesar was not ambitious. Surely, a person who wept with the poor and three times rejected kingly crown was in no way an ambitious person.

While Brutus castigated Caesar in his speech, Antony helped the people see his good side. When he later showed the crowd the will left by Caesar where every citizen had a share in Caesar's wealth, the people then clearly understood that Brutus and Cassius were the traitors.

This sentence uses which figurative device?

Select one:

- Metonymy
- Synecdoche
- Metaphor
- Apostrophe

Answers

Answer:

Metonymy

Explanation:

The first thing I want to look at is the definition of each figurative device.

Metonymy - the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example, suit for business executive, or the track for horse racing.

Synecdoche - a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, as in Cleveland won by six runs (meaning “Cleveland's baseball team”).

Metaphor - a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

Apostrophe - a speech or address to a person who is not present or to a personified object, such as Yorick's skull in Hamlet.

After looking at these definitions I have concluded that the correct option is metonymy referincing to "Crown" as being a replacement to the royal family or the king in either case.

How cancer is serious , death depends on your cancer type and which parts of your body are affected. Some cancers start in or spread to a part of the body that does something essential for life.

The cancer that grows in the digestive system can block it, or partly block it. If you can't eat and drink, you are less able to cope with other problems, such as infection. Cancer in the bones can cause calcium to be released into the bloodstream.High levels of calcium can cause you to become unconscious and eventually die. The liver is the chemical factory of the body. It carries out many tasks and is very important .

Cancer is the second leading cause of death among Americans. An estimated 552,200 Americans died of cancer in 2000. Each year, cancer costs our nation an estimated $107 billion in health care expenditures. The importance is even it cost so much money still helpful to every one , over due makes some money as well .

The solution of this all burden is medicine but there are no cures for cancer even a medicine , but there are treatments that may cure you. Treatment plans that are tailored to the type of cancer, how advanced it is, your overall health, and your preferences. Many people are treated for cancer and live out the rest of their life, and others die of other causes. It's smart to consider every treatment that might save your life or make you feel better.

There are many scientist and doctors whose cooperating in making medicine for cancer . Furthermore , helping each makes a great team. Teaming up is the best way to eliminate the burden-cancer . To all have a cancer please don't lost hope .

Answers

Answer:

Injustice is a quality relating to unfairness or undeserved outcomes. The term may be applied in reference to a particular event or situation, or to a larger status quo. In Western philosophy and jurisprudence, injustice is very commonly—but not always—defined as either the absence or the opposite of justice.

The sense of injustice is a universal human feature, though the exact circumstances considered unjust can vary from culture to culture. While even acts of nature can sometimes arouse the sense of injustice, the sense is usually felt in relation to human action such as misuse, abuse, neglect, or malfeasance that is uncorrected or else sanctioned by a legal system or fellow human beings.
