[Honors Seg 1, 01 MC] "They were dying slowly--it was very clear. They were not enemies, they were not criminals, they were nothing earthly now,--nothing but black shadows of disease and starvation, lying confusedly in the greenish gloom. Brought from all the recesses of the coast in all the legality of time contracts, lost in uncongenial surroundings, fed on unfamiliar food, they sickened, became inefficient, and were then allowed to crawl away and rest." Identify the theme of this excerpt from The Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad, and explain the author's interpretation of the British Empire.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

According to the text shown above, we can say that the author interprets British imperialism as a machine of suffering for the dominated countries. This is because the author shows that the people who were under the regime of the British empire were "dying slowly" even without being enemies or criminals, but only because imperialism only sought to exploit and subdue nations causing serious problems for its inhabitants.

in paragraph 1 what does crushed the book with a wild devotion suggest about montag?

Answers

Paragraph 1:

Montag's hands were grabbing the woman's books. Montag's hand took a book, which he crushed to his chest. Montag is afraid his hands will make him a thief. Montag's hand closed like a mouth, crushed the book with wild devotion, with an insanity of mindlessness to his chest. The men above were hurling shovelfuls of magazines into the dusty air. They fell like slaughtered birds and the woman stood below, like a small girl, among the bodies. Montag had done nothing. His hand had done it all, his hand, with a brain of its own, with a conscience and a curiosity in each trembling finger, had turned thief. Now, it plunged the book back under his arm, pressed it tight to sweating armpit, rushed out empty, with a magician's flourish! Look here! Innocent! Look!

What is Lincoln’s main idea in his speech?

Answers

To bring equality to all of his citizens conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal

Answer:

(This is the sample answer so you would want to re-word it!)

Lincoln begins by trying to convince Southerners that they shouldn’t be worried about his presidency. The main idea of Lincoln’s speech, however, seems to be the constitutionality of the secession of the Southern states. Most of his speech is spent discussing this topic. This excerpt is a good example:

I hold that, in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution, the Union of these States is perpetual. Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental law of all national governments. It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination. Continue to execute all the express provisions of our National Constitution, and the Union will endure forever—it being impossible to destroy it except by some action not provided for in the instrument itself.

Hope this helps! :D

Can someone please give me a summary to the odyssey book 21?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Summary: Book 21

Penelope gets Odysseus’s bow out of the storeroom and announces that she will marry the suitor who can string it and then shoot an arrow through a line of twelve axes. Telemachus sets up the axes and then tries his own hand at the bow, but fails in his attempt to string it. The suitors warm and grease the bow to make it supple, but one by one they all try and fail.

Meanwhile, Odysseus follows Eumaeus and Philoetius outside. He assures himself of their loyalty and then reveals his identity to them by means of the scar on his foot. He promises to treat them as Telemachus’s brothers if they fight by his side against the suitors.

When Odysseus returns, Eurymachus has the bow. He feels disgraced that he cannot string it, because he knows that this failure proves his inferiority to Odysseus. Antinous suggests that they adjourn until the next day, when they can sacrifice to Apollo, the archer god, before trying again. Odysseus, still disguised, then asks for the bow. All of the suitors complain, fearing that he will succeed. Antinous ridicules Odysseus, saying that the wine has gone to his head and that he will bring disaster upon himself, just like the legendary drunken centaur Eurytion. Telemachus takes control and orders Eumaeus to give Odysseus the bow. Needless to say, Odysseus easily strings it and sends the first arrow he grabs whistling through all twelve axes.

PLZ be completely honest about what you think.


F1GUR3



John stepped out of the darkness with blood on his hands and ash on his face. The blast nearly killed him, but he must try again. The Constuction company needed this Master Robot to help. John slowly worked out the kinks and tried to bring his masterpiece online. (mumbles) “A cut here, put a transformer here.” He got up and pulled the lever one more time. Bright flashes of electricity shined above the table; the robot lay there waiting. Suddenly a bolt of electricity shot into the robot's access port on its neck. John knew it wouldn’t work; the town had given him a scarce amount of money for this project so that meant bad resources. A spark from the lever made John jump in pain, but it was too late. His entire body was engulfed in flames within a fraction of a second. He slowly died and fell onto the floor. After that, the electricity stopped running and the robot sat up and its face had an angry look as it stared at its creator. “SFPD Open Up!” The load yell made the robot jolt off the table and it just stood there staring out the door. Then, the door broke down and in came 10-armed San Fransisco Police officers. Who fired MK53-Tazers at the robot which made it fall to its knees. The robot woke up in a padded room filled with absolutely nothing technological. It spoke “just a small figure in a big room, I guess.” “yeah, that’s what I’ll call myself, The F1GUR3!” F1GUR3 put its hand up against the wall and unleashed a spark of energy, blowing away all the soft padding and the wall with it. It walked out into a small Laboratory with Master robots hanging by their wrists. A guard popped out of nowhere and shot the F1GUR3 in the head, but the bullet bounced right off. F1GUR3’s hands clenched around the guard's neck and tightened till the guard stopped struggling. F1GUR3 put its hand up once more and blew away the entrance door. It walked out with moonlight shining brightly and the stars behind it.

The Oregon Trail
by Francis Parkman, Jr.



1 The path soon after led inland; and as we crossed an open meadow we saw a cluster of buildings on a rising ground before us, with a crowd of people surrounding them. They were the storehouse, cottage, and stables of the Kickapoo trader’s establishment. Just at that moment, as it chanced, he was beset with half the Indians of the settlement. They had tied their wretched, neglected little ponies by dozens along the fences and outhouses, and were either lounging about the place, or crowding into the trading house. Here were faces of various colors; red, green, white, and black, curiously intermingled and disposed over the visage in a variety of patterns. Calico shirts, red and blue blankets, brass ear-rings, wampum necklaces, appeared in profusion. The trader was a blue-eyed openfaced man who neither in his manners nor his appearance betrayed any of the roughness of the frontier; though just at present he was obliged to keep a lynx eye on his suspicious customers, who, men and women, were climbing on his counter and seating themselves among his boxes and bales.



2 The village itself was not far off, and sufficiently illustrated the condition of its unfortunate and self-abandoned occupants. Fancy to yourself a little swift stream, working its devious way down a woody valley; sometimes wholly hidden under logs and fallen trees, sometimes issuing forth and spreading into a broad, clear pool; and on its banks in little nooks cleared away among the trees, miniature log-houses in utter ruin and neglect. A labyrinth of narrow, obstructed paths connected these habitations one with another. Sometimes we met a stray calf, a pig or a pony, belonging to some of the villagers, who usually lay in the sun in front of their dwellings, and looked on us with cold, suspicious eyes as we approached. Farther on, in place of the log-huts of the Kickapoos, we found the pukwi lodges of their neighbors, the Pottawattamies, whose condition seemed no better than theirs.



3 Growing tired at last, and exhausted by the excessive heat and sultriness of the day, we returned to our friend, the trader. By this time the crowd around him had dispersed, and left him at leisure. He invited us to his cottage, a little white-and-green building, in the style of the old French settlements; and ushered us into a neat, well-furnished room. The blinds were closed, and the heat and glare of the sun excluded; the room was as cool as a cavern. It was neatly carpeted too and furnished in a manner that we hardly expected on the frontier. The sofas, chairs, tables, and a well-filled bookcase would not have disgraced an Eastern city; though there were one or two little tokens that indicated the rather questionable civilization of the region. A pistol, loaded and capped, lay on the mantelpiece; and through the glass of the bookcase, peeping above the works of John Milton glittered the handle of a very mischievous-looking knife.



4 Our host went out, and returned with iced water, glasses, and a bottle of excellent claret; a refreshment most welcome in the extreme heat of the day; and soon after appeared a merry, laughing woman, who must have been, a year of two before, a very rich and luxuriant specimen of Creole beauty. She came to say that lunch was ready in the next room. Our hostess evidently lived on the sunny side of life, and troubled herself with none of its cares. She sat down and entertained us while we were at table with anecdotes of fishing parties, frolics, and the officers at the fort. Taking leave at length of the hospitable trader and his friend, we rode back to the garrison.
