In the Chapter "On the Rainy River," O'Brien recounts a parade of people watching
and cheering him on from the shoreline as he makes the choice not to run from the
draft. This group includes people from his past and his future, including his family,
politicians, and people he had not even met at that point in his life. Which of the
following is the most likely reason to include these people from the future in this
story about his past?
O O'Brien was listing all the people he let down by wanting to flee the draft.
o O'Brien was hallucinating from taking too many drugs.
o O'Brien was trying to show how complicated the decision to flee the draft was.
o O'Brien wanted to show how this memory and moment was tied to all future ones.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The Things They Carried is a book written by Tim O'Brien, on war. The book is based mostly on his experience as a soldier.

In chapter titled 'On the Rainy River,' O'Brien shares that one day when he was filled with fear, he wrote a letter to his family and left for Canada. While on his way to Canada, he stayed with Elroy Berdahl in the Tip Top Lodge.

So, on his last day at lodge, O'Brien and Elroy went for fishing and reached near Canada on boat. But O'Brien makes a decision to go to war and he sees an audience cheering him as he returns.

The reason for listing these people is because they were the people whom he let down.

Therefore, option A is correct.

Essay on problems of unemployment

The major problem all over the world is unemployment . Many people are facing these types of problems in the world, some in the company department or some in the business. Problems occur when a middle-class family loses his/her job which is known as unemployment and also there are some ways to suppress these types of problems.
So, the first focused problem for the family who he/she loses her job is the problem of the budget, how can the family could manage the budget problem if he/she suffers from the unemployment how can they manage home budget or the finance problem while in the unemployment so this is the wide problem for the person as well as for the family who is wearing the unemployment. Also, the second problem for the unemployed family is how could they manage the money problem from whom they had bought, how could they return these or pay back the money after shifting from employment to employment.
However, there are also some ways to cover up these problems by working harder to find a second job or keeping in touch with friends or cousins around you to look over a job or for you the post which you want as for the job. As well as the other solution for getting the job lower the major or wide problem of the unemployment is get the better calcification or work harder over the education to achieve you the best job and cannot able to loses his/her job good marks in the education will result in the great earnings and cannot loses the job, and also can get the job easily anywhere with the great earning with the help of the degree.

In the nutshell problems of unemployment are everywhere all over the world so in my opinion we should give the employee the second chance to stick to their job. By doing this we should be able to get off from the problems. In Addition, before firing the employee, we should know that he/she couldn’t face any of the problems after being unemployed.

essay on party you have recently attended ​

Answers

Answer:

A sample essay on birthday celebration of my friend.

Last week, it was my best friend’s birthday. So we all planned a nice birthday party. He asked all of us to come to his house three days before his birthday. It was supposed to be a small tea-party with a few friends and family members. As he is the eldest in the family, he asked me to come and help him with the preparations. A day before, we went to the market and brought the necessary decoration articles. We decided for a few minutes on the food and other things with my friend’s father. We also ordered for the cake from the bakery his father asked us to.

We both were really excited, as my friend was turning 16 this year. I decided to go straight at his place after school to help him with the decorations. I had already kept my clothes there, so dressing up was no problem. Both Uncle and Aunty are working, so they too were very glad and relieved with me there to help their son prepare for his birthday party.

One our way back home from school, we collected the cake and the eatables that we had ordered the day before. Then we hurried back home. We quickly had our lunch and headed for the drawing-room. We changed the table-cloth, cleaned the room and started with the decorations.

We decorated the ceiling with paper buntings, bells and stars. We below balloons and hung them all over. Doing that was great fun as some of the balloons bursted while blowing and others refused to stick to the wall. For our siblings, we had kept a few birthday caps. While I was blowing the balloons my friend quickly wrapped the return-gifts. We placed floating candles on the table where the cake would be kept and then put an extra table to keep the eatables.

Next we spread out the disposable cups, glasses and plates. The snacks were laid out in the dishes. The sweets and the samosas were kept in the kitchen along with the chutney. The wafers were kept on the table itself. Cold drinks were kept in the refrigerator. Almost everything was ready by 3:30 p.m.

The party had to start at 4p.m my friend’s mother had also returned by then. She was very happy to see our work and asked us not to worry about the gulab-jamuns and samosas. She would serve them hot from the microwave.

Lastly, we placed a few extra chairs and dressed up quickly. The friends started pouring in as the time neared. By 4:20 p.m., all had reached. We decided to play a few games first so that by then Uncle could also return from his office and be there with us as the cake was cut. We played housie and musical chairs. It was a great fun. The winners were given small prizes too. All were glad and seemed to enjoy.

By 5:30 p.m., my friend’s father had also returned back. So at 5:45 p.m., we had the cutting of the cake amidst a lot of clappings and singing of the birthday song. Aunty had brought in the cake beautifully placed in a lovely platter and the knife too had a bow tied to it. My friend proudly blew out the 17 candles, made a wish and cut the cake. He then gave the first piece to his parents and then the cake was served to all the guests present. The gifts too were given at this time. Uncle was busy clicking the photographs and the cake looked beautiful with the floating candles, fresh flowers and soft music.

The snacks were served after this. Aunty brought in the hot and relishing samosas and gulab-jamuns. I helped Aunty to serve the eatables in the paper-plates. Meanwhile my friend and his younger brother served cold drinks in the glasses. Another of the friend put in some nice dancing music. We all ate with great joy and later on danced till we all could stand no more. It seemed we had rocked the entire colony. We also served toffees to the younger brothers and sisters of our friends. They too had great fun. At around 6:30 pm, we all decided to leave. We thanked my friend and his parents for a wonderful birthday party and went back home, all contended and glad.

Symbol Analysis

Obviously she's the main character and a huge part of this poem, but is the Lady of Shalott a major image? Lancelot is almost buried in description, but we hear almost nothing about the Lady herself. Hair color, eyes, height? Those things aren't all crucial, but they'd help us to build a mental picture of our main character. In some ways, it feels like the speaker is trying to hold back an image of the Lady, to make her deliberately hard to imagine.

Line 18: The first time we hear her name is as the closing line of the second stanza. We're going to hear the same thing a lot more before the poem is over. The Lady's name is a refrain that the speaker uses over and over. Her name almost starts to hypnotize us, like a magical spell.Line 71: Don't worry, we won't take you through all of the spots where the poem talks about the Lady, but we thought this one was worth mentioning. This is the place where the Lady admits her frustration with her life, and says she is "half sick of shadows." While we still don't get an image of her face, we can feel the strength of her personality in this moment, a glimmer of the independence and strong will that is about to blossom.Line 153: This is the end of the Lady's transformation, the moment of her death. She has moved from slavery and imprisonment to freedom, but it has cost her everything. Before she sang, now she is quiet. She was warm, now she is frozen. All of these are powerful images of loss and change. Eventually she becomes a sort of statue, a pale shape in a coffin-like boat.Explanation:
