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

Answers

Answer 1

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!

Once while walking through a store I found a wallet on the ground, I had no clue whose wallet it was. I look around the store asking people if they know whose wallet it is but no one knew! When I went home, I put it on the table. I looked for a picture of the owner and found it, it was a person whose shirt was blue. I went out to find the person, and showed pictures of them to some people asking whose wallet it is until I found a person whose shirt was also blue. I asked them if they knew whose wallet it was, and they said it was theirs. After that, they showed me my wallet, asking whose wallet it was and I told them it was mine!

from President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, 1961

…In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than in mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again—not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need; not as a call to battle, though embattled we are—but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation"—a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort?

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

Read the phrase below:

The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

In this phrase, fire refers to which of the following?

Endeavors like this one

Why is Calixta happy at the end of the story? How can everyone be happy at the end of the story? What does the author's attitude toward the adultery seem to be? Is there an overall "moral tone" to the story?

Answers

This question is about "the storm" by Kate Chopin

Answer Explanation:

1. Calixta is happy at the end of the story because her son and her husband arrive home safely, even in the face of the storm, besides, she does not feel any remorse for the adultery she committed.

2. Everyone is happy because she has a family that was not destroyed by her actions, and they know that adultery is impossible to be discovered, so their lives, as they are used to, will be maintained.

3. Reading the short story, we have the impression that the author does not encourage adultery, but does not see it as something capable of destroying a family and ruining the marriage, but rather as something that can be kept secret, without hurting anyone.

4. The only moral tone that can be considered in this story is that people should do what they want and make them happy regardless of the rules established by society.

Answers

Answer:Plot - How the author arranges events to develop the basic idea; it is the sequence of events in a story or play. The

plot is a planned, logical series of events having a beginning, middle, and end. The short story usually has one plot

so it can be read in one sitting. There are five essential parts of plot:

1) Exposition (introduction) - Beginning of the story; characters, background, and setting revealed.

2) Rising Action - Events in the story become complicated; the conflict is revealed. These are events between

the introduction and climax.

• Conflict - Essential to plot, opposition ties incidents together and moves the plot. Not merely

limited to arguments, conflict can be any fOfI1)of struggle the main character faces. Within a short

story, there may be only one central struggle, or there may be many minor obstacles within a

dominant struggle. There are two ~ of conflict:

o Internal- Struggle within one's self.

• Character vs. Self - Struggles with own soul, physical limitations, choices, etc.

o External - Struggle with a force outside one's self.

• Character vs. Character - Struggles against other people.

• Character vs. Nature - Struggles against animals, weather, environment, etc.

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”
"Might drop on his head from the sky," said the frivolous Herbert.
"Morris said the things happened so naturally," said his father, "that you might if you so wished attribute it to coincidence."
"Well, don't break into the money before I come back," said Herbert as he rose from the table. "I'm afraid it'll turn you into a mean, avaricious man, and we shall have to disown you."
His mother laughed, and following him to the door, watched him down the road; and returning to the breakfast table, was very happy at the expense of her husband's credulity. All of which did not prevent her from scurrying to the door at the postman's knock, nor prevent her from referring somewhat shortly to retired sergeant-majors . . . when she found that the post brought a tailor's bill.

How does Mrs. White’s reaction to wishing on the monkey’s paw compare to Mr. White’s?

Mrs. White believes in the magic, but Mr. White does not.
They both believe in the magic.
Neither believes in the magic.

Answers

Answer:

They both believe in the magic.

Explanation:

The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs revolves around the magical ability of a monkey's paw in fulfilling three wishes to its owner. The story relays the message the greed is never good for anyone, let alone bring people happiness.

Mr. White acquired the talisman from his friend Sergeant Major Morris who had got it during his time in India. And he believed that the talisman brings harm more than luck, and threw into the fire. But Mr. White took it out and decided to keep it for himself. This shows that he somehow believed in the magical ability of the monkey's paw. And like her husband, Mrs. White as well as their son Herbert also believed in the paw's magic. Their conversation about the "two hundred pounds" and their belief that it'll be granted shows their belief in the monkey's paw and its magical abilities.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

C or They both believe in the magic.

Point of view refers to the perspective or opinion that an author, speaker, or narrator has about a particular subject or topic.

By comparing different educational methods, the author is able to highlight the benefits of an education that allows for personal initiative and free thinking.

This helps to advance the author's point of view that education should be focused on developing individual creativity and initiative.

The author uses a case in point to illustrate the value of education that allows free rein in personal initiative.

O A It foreshadows Tybalt's death
OB It shows that Juliet is a static character
OC It foreshadows the fatal future of their love
OD It serves as dramatic irony in the play

Answers

Answer:

C. It foreshadows the fatal future of their love

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which the author gives us hints about what is going to happen later in the story. In literature, visions are often used as a foreshadowing tool.

In the given lines, Juliet has a vision of Romeo being dead. This truly happens at the end of the tragedy - Romeo returns to Verona, believing that Juliet is dead. When he arrives at her tomb, he sees her and concludes that his assumption was correct. Grieving, he drinks poison, which results in his death. However, it turns out that Juliet is still alive. She wakes up, finds him dead, and kills herself with his own sword. This is the fatal future of their love foreshadowed by Juliet's vision.

Answers

Answer:

D is the answer

Explanation:

Read the passage and answer the questions that follows :

(1) We all want to succeed. Whether it’s in losing weight learning the guitar,
speed reading, or starting our own business. For those of us who have tried
and failed, success seems elusive. Why is it one person succeeds where another
personal fails? First and foremost, I believe it is in their mindset. But secondly,
I believe that successful people have developed certain habits, either naturally
or through research that the rest of us haven’t stumbled upon yet.
(2) What is important to you? Finding your core values may seem a bit off-topic
when it comes to success, but creating goals that are in line with your values
is key to creating intrinsic motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most.
Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of
your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values
through your work.
(3) Choose one goal to start. Something large enough that will give you a sense of
accomplishment, while aligning well with your core values. Focus is key here.
The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.
Set a date for success. Identify when your hope to achieve your goal. Keep
it realistic, while not giving yourself too much time. By setting a time limit, you
are making the process more real. Believe fully in your ability to achieve your
goal. Visualize yourself having completed your goal in the exact time-frame
you have chosen, although finishing early is also acceptable. You don’t need
to consider the failures that will happen along the way. Success is inevitable.
Others may think you will fail, don’t let yourself be one of them!
(4) Set up negative consequences for missing the deadline. Necessity is the mother
of all invention. If you can manage to keep yourself intrinsically motivated,
that’s great. If not, this will help kick you into gear and keep your eye on the
prize. Prioritize the tasks you have in front of you. Don’t always do the most
urgent thing first. Pick the task that’s the most important. Sometimes these
overlap, which is nice. By always accomplishing what’s most important, you
are making clear progress toward your goal.
(5) Push yourself. Go out of your comfort zone. This is the best way to learn, and
the best way to make progress quickly. If you’re looking for new ideas, being
risk averse will not help. This takes a lot of self-awareness. Try and be
conscious of when you are holding yourself back out of fear. Push yourself to
be courageous, and take that next step. Failure is inevitable when you take
risks, which is what you’ll be doing if you want to succeed. By its very definition,
the desire to succeed at something means you are risking failure. Many people
tend to give up far too early. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march
on!
(6) Take time every day to sit quietly and reflect on your values, goals, and progress
made so far. Where have you excelled, and where can you do better. Is
everything you are doing still lining up with your core values? Always look for
ways to improve. Never stop learning. Know what everyone else is doing,
and what everyone else has done, and how they did it. Search wide for
knowledge that might help you, and any inspiration that may do the same.
Never think you have nothing to learn from others.

(a) On the basis of your reading of the above passage, make notes on its
using recognizable abbreviations (Min. 4) wherever necessary. Use a
format you consider appropriate. Supply a suitable title.

(b) Write a summary of the passage.
