In the context of this story, how does power corrupt? How does the balance of power between the children and the man change throughout the story? (From "THE MAN IN THE WELL")

Answer and Explanation:

1. In "The man in the Well" we can see that the innocence and purity of children is completely corrupted by the power over someone's life. This is because this power fascinates and excites those who hold it, making them use it at their own pleasure without caring about the pain and suffering of other people. Children, in this short story, had the power to help the man who was inside the well, but making him wait and torture him gave them that sense of control, which corrupted them and made them do evil.

2. At the end of the story, the man finds out the name of one of the boys and this empowers him to speak directly to the boy, causing strong psychological pressure and being able to report what the boys did to him to anyone who pass near the well. This caused the boys to be disillusioned and afraid, who were totally controlled by the power that the man now wielded over them.

What is the meaning of the word miscellany based on its context in this excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island? A strong smell of tobacco and tar rose from the interior, but nothing was to be seen on the top except a suit of very good clothes, carefully brushed and folded. They had never been worn, my mother said. Under that, the miscellany began—a quadrant, a tin canikin, several sticks of tobacco, two brace of very handsome pistols, a piece of bar silver, an old Spanish watch and some other trinkets of little value and mostly of foreign make, a pair of compasses mounted with brass, and five or six curious West Indian shells.

One Thousand Miles
“Gather around,” Abuela Lola yelled from the first floor. “It’s time for the annual family picture.”
Footsteps thundered from all corners of the house. Marco and Javier—cousins that Alejandro hadn’t seen since the last time that he and his mom had been in Los Angeles a year ago—got to the stairs before he did. He was unaccustomed to their energy, to the way they tackled each other and made boisterous comments over the dinner table. In his quiet house, the only noise during dinner came from the clink that his fork made against the plate.
“Hey, Alejandro,” they said as they knocked him to the side. He waited for them to pass and then walked gingerly down the steps of Abuela Lola’s house.
He always looked forward to when he and his mom visited her side of the family, but now, a few days after arrival, he had played soccer for more hours than he could count. All he wanted to do was find a puzzle somewhere quiet. But soon there would be the family picture, and then dinner, and even though he wanted to soak in the noise that he wouldn’t get for the rest of the year, it was too much right now.
“Alejandro! Venga,” Abuela Lola said as he rounded the corner to the kitchen. He looked for his mother in the crowd of relatives and calmed when he saw her towering above everyone else. He gave her the wide-eyed look that he always did when he felt overwhelmed. She laughed and put her hand in front of her mouth as though to squelch it.
Sandwiched between Marco’s elbow and Javier’s shoulder, Alejandro smiled until his mouth went numb. One pose, then another, then a silly pose, and finally, Tío Juan’s favorite: one where everyone jumped and was captured in suspension in the air for a fleeting second. When everyone scattered after the photo, Alejandro found his mom. His hands flew in front of his face, telling her about Marco and Javier. She nodded and signed back, telling him that it was only temporary.
He always wondered what these visits were like for his mother who was deaf—to be around moving mouths whose voices she couldn’t hear and music whose beat she could only feel through the floor when the volume was way up and her shoes were off. But there were other parts of the visit that had nothing to do with hearing—when she stood in front of the kitchen counter rolling balls of dough to make tortillas with Abuela Lola. Or when she held tiny tiles in front of her face to get the highest Scrabble score. After she inevitably won the game, she jumped up from the table and shouted, doing a little dance that Alejandro knew by heart.
He knew that these visits were different for her—that while Alejandro used these trips to absorb what it felt like to be in a noisy house, his mother got a chance to reconnect with family that she hadn’t seen in a year. To meet new babies that she’d only seen pictures of when the letters arrived at their house in Mexico. How she stayed up late rocking infants, tracing their delicate features with her finger, breathing in their baby smells. That for her, these visits closed the gap on the thousand miles that separated her from the family that had moved to Los Angeles ten years ago. "Sometimes," she had signed to Alejandro once, "the thousand miles feel like a world away."
“Alejandro, are you coming?” Javier called. He was standing in the backyard with a badminton racket in his hand.
Alejandro sighed. He wanted silence, wanted his quiet house with his mom, but he knew that would come sooner or later. For now, he had his extended family with their noise and their yelling and their laughter. He knew he would miss it when they were on the plane tomorrow morning. He peeked across the table at his mother who was looking back at him as though she knew just what he was thinking.
Go, she mouthed and signed at the same time.
“Coming,” he yelled back to Javier. He ran outside to join his cousins in one final game. “Who’s serving first?”(story)

How does the setting of the story affect Alejandro in "One Thousand Miles"?
A
The natural beauty of California makes Alejandro question where he and his mother live.
B The noise and bustle of Abuela Lola's house is initially exciting for Alejandro, but he gets tired of it quickly.
C The unfamiliar pace of life at his grandmother's home in Mexico makes Alejandro miss his own home in Los Angeles.
D The quiet and sedate nature of life in Los Angeles inspires Alejandro to interact with his cousins.

i need a summary on this, please
When Charlotte Brontë set out to write the novel Jane Eyre, she
was determined to create a main character who challenged the notion
of the ideal Victorian woman, or as Brontë was once quoted: “a heroine
as plain and as small as myself (Gaskell, Chapter XV).” Brontë’s
determination to portray a plain yet passionate young woman who
defied the stereotype of the docile and domestic Victorian feminine
ideal most likely developed from her own dissatisfaction with domestic
duties and a Victorian culture that discouraged women from having
literary aspirations. There were many expectations and limitations
placed on Victorian women. Considering Brontë’s position and her
desire for literary achievement given that context, we are able to see
why she felt compelled to write Jane Eyre and to publish it under a
male pen name, Currer Bell.
During an era in which etiquette guides circulated freely, empire
waists gave way to tiny-waisted corsets, and tea parties grew in
Empire waists: a style of dress fitting just below the bust, leaving the waist and hips
undefined, that became fashionable in the early 19th century.
popularity, it might seem unlikely that realistic novels would set the
Victorian literary trend. Perhaps the socially conscious novel may have
been a result of the belief of the rising middle class of Victorian England
in the possibility for change, since they had witnessed such economic
changes in their lifetimes. Works such as Charles Dickens’ Hard Times,
George Eliot’s [another woman using a male pen name] Middlemarch
and Charlotte Brontë’s own sister Emily’s Wuthering Heights [published
under Ellis Bell instead of Emily Brontë,] featured female characters that
represented trapped and repressed Victorian women marrying for the
wrong reasons, disillusioned with family life, and relying on their
physical beauty as a means to gain attention and advancement.
And then, along came the character Jane Eyre: physically
uninteresting yet passionate and intense in her desire to express her
emotions and thoughts. It is no wonder that Currer Bell’s novel was
considered groundbreaking and bold. Jane is a heroine battling the
same societal limitations as her literary counterparts, but her raw
narrative voice never fails to expose her Romantic sensibilities,
psychological depth, and her adamant desire to stay true to herself.
