Answer:
Summary
Ralph hides in the jungle and thinks miserably about the chaos that has overrun the island. He thinks about the deaths of Simon and Piggy and realizes that all vestiges of civilization have been stripped from the island. He stumbles across the sow’s head, the Lord of the Flies, now merely a gleaming white skull—as white as the conch shell, he notes. Angry and disgusted, Ralph knocks the skull to the ground and takes the stake it was impaled on to use as a weapon against Jack.
That night, Ralph sneaks down to the camp at the Castle Rock and finds Sam and Eric guarding the entrance. The twins give him food but refuse to join him. They tell him that Jack plans to send the entire tribe after him the next day. Ralph hides in a thicket and falls asleep. In the morning, he hears Jack talking and torturing one of the twins to find out where Ralph is hiding. Several boys try to break into the thicket by rolling a boulder, but the thicket is too dense. A group of boys tries to fight their way into the thicket, but Ralph fends them off. Then Ralph smells smoke and realizes that Jack has set the jungle on fire in order to smoke him out. Ralph abandons his hiding place and fights his way past Jack and a group of his hunters. Chased by a group of body-painted warrior-boys wielding sharp wooden spears, Ralph plunges frantically through the undergrowth, looking for a place to hide. At last, he ends up on the beach, where he collapses in exhaustion, his pursuers close behind. Suddenly, Ralph looks up to see a naval officer standing over him. The officer tells the boy that his ship has come to the island after seeing the blazing fire in the jungle. Jack’s hunters reach the beach and stop in their tracks upon seeing the officer. The officer matter-of-factly assumes the boys are up to, as he puts it, “fun and games.” When he learns what has happened on the island, the officer is reproachful: how could this group of boys, he asks—and English boys at that—have lost all reverence for the rules of civilization in so short a time? For his part, Ralph is overwhelmed by the knowledge that he has been rescued, that he will escape the island after coming so close to a violent death. He begins to sob, as do the other boys. Moved and embarrassed, the naval officer turns his back so that the boys may regain their composure. Analysis After Ralph’s tense, exciting stand against the hunters, the ending of Lord of the Flies is rife with irony. Ralph had thought the signal fire—a symbol of civilization—was the only way to lure rescuers to the island. Ironically, although it is indeed a fire that lures a ship to the island, it is not an ordered, controlled signal fire but rather the haphazard forest fire Jack’s hunters set solely for the purpose of killing Ralph. As we have seen, Ralph has worked tirelessly to retain the structure of civilization and maximize the boys’ chances of being rescued. Now, when all he can do is struggle to stay alive as long as possible, a deus ex machina (an improbable or unexpected device or character that suddenly appears to resolve a situation) appears, at the last possible moment, in the form of the naval officer who brings the boys back to the world of law, order, and society. Golding’s use of irony in the last chapter blurs the boundary between civilization and savagery and implies that the two are more closely connected than the story has illustrated. Ultimately, the boys’ appalling savagery brings about the rescue that their coordinated and purposeful efforts were unable to achieve.Much of the irony at the end of the novel stems from Golding’s portrayal of the naval officer. Although the naval officer saves Ralph, the ending of Lord of the Flies still is not particularly happy, and the moment in which the officer encounters the boys is not one of untainted joy. The officer says that he is unable to understand how upstanding British lads could have acted with such poor form. Ironically, though, this “civilized” officer is himself part of an adult world in which violence and war go hand in hand with civilization and social order. He reacts to the savage children with disgust, yet this disgust is tinged with hypocrisy. Similarly, the children are so shocked by the officer’s presence, and are now psychologically so far removed from his world, that they do not instantly celebrate his arrival. Rather, they stand before him baffled and bewildered. Even Ralph, whose life has literally been saved by the presence of the ship, weeps tears of grief rather than joy. For Ralph, as for the other boys, nothing can ever be as it was before coming to the island of the Lord of the Flies.
Explanation: ''Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of a true, wise friend called Piggy.''

What theme is the main theme of this excerpt from “The Metal Pig” by Hans Christian Andersen?
In the garden of the grand duke's palace, under the roof of one of the wings, where a thousand roses bloom in winter, a little ragged boy had been sitting the whole day long. The boy might serve as a type of Italy: lovely and smiling, and yet suffering. He was hungry and thirsty, but no one gave him anything; and when it became dark and they were about to close the gardens, the porter turned him out. A long time he stood musing on the bridge which crosses the Arno and looking at the glittering stars that were reflected in the water which flowed between him and the wonderful marble bridge Delia Trinità. He then walked away towards the Metal Pig, half knelt down, clasped it with his arms, and, putting his mouth to the shining snout, drank deep draughts of the fresh water. Close by lay a few salad leaves and two chestnuts, which were to serve for his supper. No one was in the street but himself. It belonged only to him. He boldly seated himself on the pig's back, leaned forward so that his curly head could rest on the head of the animal, and, before he was aware, fell asleep. It was midnight. The Metal Pig raised himself gently, and the boy heard him say quite distinctly, "Hold tight, little boy, for I am going to run"; and away he started for a most wonderful ride. First they arrived at the Piazza del Granduca, and the metal horse which bears the duke's statue neighed aloud.

What is the significance of the Valley of the Ashes? What images does Fitzgerald use to describe the landscape? How does the setting seem to affect the people who live there? There is a remarkable contrast in the atmosphere of the “valley of the ashes” with the atmosphere of West Egg and East Egg as well as that of Manhattan.
Answer:
The valley of ashes represents the moral and social decay that results from the uninhibited pursuit of wealth, as the rich indulge themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure. The valley of ashes also symbolizes the plight of the poor, like George Wilson, who live among the dirty ashes and lose their vitality as a result.

Read the excerpt from Act I, scene i of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo: Alas! That love, whose view is muffled still, Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will. 160 Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here? Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all. Here's much to do with hate, but more with love: Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing! Of nothing first create. 165 O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms! Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health! Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this. Dost thou not laugh? Which lines from the excerpt support the inference that Romeo is emotionally conflicted? Select 3 options. -Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will. -Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all. -O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! -Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms! -Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health! -Dost thou not laugh?
Answer:
The three options which support the inference that Romeo is emotionally conflicted are:
- O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!
-Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
- Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!
Explanation:
These lines were taken from the famous tragedy by William Shakespeare, "Romeo and Juliet."
In Act I, Romeo makes it clear that he is sad and that time seems to pass slowly. The reason for that is his unrequited love. To show how emotionally conflicted Romeo is, Shakespeare makes use of a figure of speech called oxymoron, which is done by placing contrasting words together. In the three lines we have chosen, notice that the images and things Romeo describes are practically impossible. What is light is not heavy. What is serious is not vain. Smoke cannot be bright, and health cannot be sick. All those contrasting words show Romeo's emotional conflict.

What are both lincoln's gettysburg address and king's noble prize acceptance speech asking of their audiance
Answer:
Both speeches ask people not to give up fighting for what they believe.
Explanation:
Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg and Martin Luther King's speech on winning the Nobel Prize are very impressive speeches and one of the most important ones ever recited, due to the situations they addressed. Lincoln's speech referred to the end of the American civil war and how the victory for the union of the country was important, but this victory was only possible because people did not give up defending what they believed in, which was the union of the country and the care with the territory.
King, on the other hand, reinforced the fight for civil rights in his speech, in addition to highlighting other struggles that have been established around the world and have promoted improvements to social groups that have not given up on conquering and defending what they believe.

Concise statements are expressed in as few words are possible so as to retain the interest of the reader. This will also prevent the reader from skipping around in order to get the main point. With these in mind, the first option is the most concise statement.

Read the excerpt from act 2 of hamlet which of these lines uses a similar to make a comparison? Check all that apply
Hello. You did not present the passage to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
I believe that with "similar" you meant "simile" in the question above. Well, unfortunately, it is only possible to identify the line that presents the simile with the reading of the passage. However, it is very easy to recognize a simile, because this is a figure of speech that establishes a comparison between two elements that are not directly related to each other, but that can be related subjectively. In addition, sentences that have simile have the words "like" and "as" to make the comparison.
An example of simile can be seen in the phrase "they are eyes are blue like the sky in the summer." The words "sky" and "eyes" have no direct relationship, but through simile they can be related by a characteristic that is the color blue.
