Consider:

Art is the antidote that can call us back from the edge of numbness, restoring the ability to feel for another. — Barbara Kingsolver, High Tide in Tucson


1. By using the word antidote, what does the author imply about the inability to feel for another?


2. If we changed the word antidote to gift, what effect would it have on the meaning of the sentence?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The author implies that the inability to feel for another is a sickness and its remedy or cure is Art.

2. Changing the word antidote to gift would make art seem like an endowment or talent rather that can prove helpful to him.

Explanation:

An antidote is a remedy for a disease. It is like a medicine that can be used to cure an ailment. When the author said that art is an antidote that can restore our inability to feel for another, it implies that the inability to feel for another is like a disease whose remedy can only be art.

Changing the word antidote to 'gift' makes us see art as a privilege bestowed on a person that can serve a useful purpose for him.

What is Billy looking for in story "The Landlady"?

"The Landlady" is a short horror story  by Roald Dahl that is a dark and terrifying story of a 17-year-old Billy Weaver.

The overall theme of 'The Landlady' is that one should not judge a book by its cover. It is shown in the book that danger lurks everywhere, even when not expected. Billy sees no danger in landlady and completely believes in  landlady's kindness and her appearance.

Billy decides to stay in the hotel because its cheap and looks fine for staying in. Billy thinks that the Landlady is harmless because she is very kind and welcoming.

In the story 'The Landlady,' Billy Weaver believes that the landlady is  somewhat odd because she's quite forgetful. He refers to her by saying 'slightly dotty. ' She seems odd because she has a boardinghouse with no guests.

In story 'The Landlady', readers are left in suspense as the story ends after Billy asks the landlady if anyone else has visited the hotel in the last 2-3 years, to which the landlady answers "Only you."

Explanation:

Napoleon Crossing the Alps is any of five versions of an oil on canvas equestrian portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte painted by the French artist Jacques-Louis.

How does the use of color create contrasting moods in the two paintings?

Napoleon's two paintings depict two different faces of his personality. The painting by David shows Napoleon imposing, victorious on his horse, exuding confidence and prosperity.

This painting shows Napoleon's face that was unbeatable in his victories and had the strength and elegance of a great leader.

Due to the fact that the paintings portray a view of heroism and victory in terms of the atmosphere and feeling that it gives off, one would assume that the outcome of these battles were a positive one, given the light in which they are painted and portrayed within.
