When is morality questioned in "a rose for emily" and explain.
Answer:
The morality is questioned in the story when Emily began dating Homer after her father's death.
Explanation:
'A Rose for Emily' a short story written by William Faulkner. The story is about the life and death of the protagonist. Emily.
The morality is questioned in the story when Emily began dating Homer Barron. The morality can be questioned here is that the society, the same society that sympathized with Emily when her father shooed away all the young men saying that none is suitable for her, which rendered Emily to be single even in her thirties, that same society despised Emily when she began dating Homer Barron. They disgusted with this relationship so much that they called Emily's cousin to stop her the relationship.

Answer:
Chosen poem: Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson.
Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.
We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
We passed the Setting Sun –
Or rather – He passed Us –
The Dews drew quivering and Chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle –
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground –
The Roof was scarcely visible –
The Cornice – in the Ground –
Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity –
Explanation:
As we know, one of the characteristics of modernist poetry is free verse, so I will rewrite the poem in a modern and free verse form:
Because I could not find death
He came looking for me
In the carriage it was just the two of us
And immortality
The road was slow, without rushing to death
I abandoned my pleasures and my work to respect his chivalry
We passed a school, where there were children playing
We go through fields of crops and the sunset
Or rather, the sunset passed over us
Dew formed and began to get cold
And I was only wearing a dress and a cape made of tulle
We stood in front of a home that was actually a grave on the ground
I could barely see the ceiling
Centuries have passed and time continues to pass
It seems like a short time from the day
I realized that those horses carried me into eternity

Read an excerpt from Justice Sonia Sotomayor's New York University 2012
Commencement Address:
Finally, the last emotion I've experienced has been the joy
of engagement. It's a hackneyed statement, but life is not a
spectator sport. To squeeze from life its fullness, to be
happy in this world in the short period of time we are given,
to find meaning in life, you have to be active and giving
members of your communities. Neither your life nor the
world you live in just happens. You control the quality of
your lives and your communities. It is only in giving to
others that you can find meaning and satisfaction in what
you do
What does Sotomayor use to introduce her discussion on the joy of
engagement?
O A. A statement that happiness should not be a life goal
O B. A comparison of two people's lives
O C. A metaphor about getting involved
O D. A suggestion that life has to be spontaneous
Answer:
O C. A metaphor about getting involved .
Explanation:
Justice Sonia Sotomayor was conferred a Doctor of Law degree, honoris causa, by the NYU on May 16. And she gave her speech at the 180th Commencement held at the Yankee Stadium.
In this speech, she recounts how life is all about taking challenges and getting involved in them. She went on to express her happiness on being conferred the degree while at the same time, she felt grateful to those who had awarded her. She also used a metaphor to talk about how getting involved in life is one of the most interesting and intriguing things in life. Her statement that "life is not a spectator sport" shows her own dedication to getting involved in life's challenges and tackling whatever obstacles that may come in the way.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

There (is/are) in our deepest nightmares a silent monster waiting for its next victim.
Answer:
Explanation:
Not sure what the question is but if your looking for clarification then here. People think dream on or dream big but in reality, things just sometimes don't work out. That's why there is fear in everything done. Our biggest fear is really not meaning anything to the world and that is our silent monster. If you let fear conquer you, then you've become the next victim. Always believe in a bigger greater reality and it comes into play. Einstein once said: " Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." Just learn to out beat your reality and you'll be fine. We as humans only have access to 10% of our minds. Imagine what we would be capable of with 100%. Just let that soak.
Answer:
There IS.....
Explanation:
The verb (is) must agree with the subject (monster).
Don't fall for the trap in thinking that "nightmares' is the subject simply because is follows closely behind the verb.
Maybe this will make it clear.....
Recast the sentence to read:
In our deepest nightmares, there (is/are) a silent monster waiting for its next victim.

O A. To get revenge on the fakir
B. To undo his wish to bring his son back to life
O C. To go back in time and never make the first wish
O D. To end his own suffering in death
Answer:
B. To undo his wish to bring his son back to life.
Explanation:
The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs is a short story that tells of how a family acquired a 'magical' monkey's paw from India that can make their three wishes come true. This story deals with the themes of death, faith, supernatural belief, and the issue of an Oriental artifact.
Mr. White had acquired the monkey's paw from a friend of his who told them about the special spell it was put on by a fakir in India. An with this paw, they had their two wishes granted (first was to get two hundred pounds and the second was to wish their son would come back alive), though at the cost of their son's life. The third wish was still left when they heard a scraping sound coming from the front door. It was their dead son at which the old man got frantic about wishing his final wish. And just in time before the door was opened, he made his final wish which stopped all the commotion at the door and the street was quiet. So, his final wish must have been to wish that he had not wished for his son's return from the dead and to undo the second wish.

Goal Setting
Answer:
Life goals help us complete goals or certain actions along our roadways in life. Goals are a part of everyone's life. They can be big or small. There can be an unlimited amount of them. Making them however you want is your choice. Everyone has their own opinions in their goals. Right now, my life goals are already spread out and chosen. In my life, I hope to complete three goals that I set myself with and they are to take challenging courses, choose a type of doctor I want to be, and try to build a Dutch Bros in North Dakota. In high school, there are many challenging courses in the school that I want to be in. To begin with, I'm taking a foreign language. The foreign language I'm taking is French 1. French 1 is something new for me and I love to experience all these new cultures and languages. It is also a hard language to learn. I work hard in all my classes and never give up, which is a good trait for taking challenging courses. Even though I can be a hard worker, and I take a foreign language, I need to study more for test and quizzes. For me to take challenging courses, I still need to work on a couple of things. The main things are that I need to think more outside the box for choices. Challenging courses will help me be able to get into a college more and will be able to know more about my career. Although taking challenging courses is something I want to do, I need to choose what type of doctor I want to be for my future career.

Which evidence from the passage answer this question How was blueberry growing changed
Answer:
In the early 1900s, Elizabeth White and Dr. Frederick Coville began to farm wild highbush blueberries. Later, plant breeders developed the new kinds of larger, hardy berries that you see in grocery stores. You can still find wild blueberries, often in hilly or mountainous areas.
Explanation:
The passage tells us that Elizabeth White and Dr. Fredrick Cole began growing wild highbush blueberries in the 1900s. As time went by, blueberries could be found as hardy berries, and this change was effected by plant breeders. Today, the blueberries can be found in hilly areas and at self-pick farms. This excerpt shows a progressive change from what was obtainable in the 1900s to what is applicable today.
The American Indians were also familiar with places where these blueberries could be gotten, but the actual growth started in the 1900s with the two farmers. From that time on, several changes in the way the blueberries were grown are shown.
Answer: Many tasty dishes can be made from blueberries, including pies, breads, jellies, and jams.

What do you do if you mix up your tenses in a sentence
Answer:
There are many ways to go about this. The common tense rule is this: The tenses of verbs in a sentence must be consistent when the actions happen at the same time. When dealing with actions that occur at different points in time, however, we can – and probably should – use multiple tenses in the same sentence.
Hope this helps!!
