The Metamorphosis
by Franz Kafka (excerpt)

The flight of the chief clerk seemed, unfortunately, to put Gregor's father into a panic as well. Until then he had been relatively self controlled, but now, instead of running after the chief clerk himself, or at least not impeding Gregor as he ran after him, Gregor's father seized the chief clerk's stick in his right hand (the chief clerk had left it behind on a chair, along with his hat and overcoat), picked up a large newspaper from the table with his left, and used them to drive Gregor back into his room, stamping his foot at him as he went. Gregor's appeals to his father were of no help, his appeals were simply not understood, however much he humbly turned his head his father merely stamped his foot all the harder. Across the room, despite the chilly weather, Gregor's mother had pulled open a window, leant far out of it and pressed her hands to her face. A strong draught of air flew in from the street towards the stairway, the curtains flew up, the newspapers on the table fluttered and some of them were blown onto the floor. Nothing would stop Gregor’s father as he drove him back, making hissing noises at him like a wild man. Gregor had never had any practice in moving backwards and was only able to go very slowly. If Gregor had only been allowed to turn round he would have been back in his room straight away, but he was afraid that if he took the time to do that his father would become impatient, and there was the threat of a lethal blow to his back or head from the stick in his father's hand any moment.

Describe how the author uses flashback to build surprise in the passage. Be sure to use specific details from the passage in your explanation.


In order to get ready for my trip to Paris, I had met with a French woman named Veronique. I had heard she was the best French language tutor in the Los Angeles area, so I had set up appointment to meet her for lessons at her home. As I had entered her house, she told me that she was a native Parisian who had recently moved to the United States and that she desperately missed France. I had told her that I, too, had missed my home. I was born in Sicily, and I had moved to the United States when I was very young. I had always wondered what it would be like if I had stayed in Sicily. Who would my friends be? What college would I have gone to? What if I had stayed in Sicily and had become a scientist or a nurse instead of studying to become a feature filmmaker? There were so many unknowns, and these thoughts always made me resentful.
As Veronique showed me around her home, I had noticed that the bathrooms had shelves of powder puffs and perfume bottles displayed like diamonds on mirrored platters. I had looked at myself in the mirror and thought about how my parents had moved me to this country without much of anything. They did not have an education because they had never had those opportunities back then. They had worked hard, every day, for years, and they had saved enough money to put me through college.
Here I was, an American citizen studying to be a filmmaker. I had already won an independent film award for a documentary I had made, but I still had so much to learn. Now I was on my way to France to learn the French language. It was my dream to be a filmmaker and to visit France. French film was my favorite genre; the style inspired me, and immersing myself in the French culture was the next logical step in my career.
The day I landed in France, I walked around the airport and rolled my luggage past people speaking French. As I attempted to catch a cab, my bag collided with some woman’s high-heeled shoes, and I accidentally almost tripped her.
"Pardon," I quickly said, hoping that she was not hurt. The woman turned to look at me; it was Veronique.
"Is that you, Veronique?" I said.
"Yes,” she replied. "I came for an impromptu visit."
"You are the last person I expected to bump into here," I said, amazed.
"I am just here for a couple of weeks, and then I'll be going back to L.A.," she said, smiling.
I looked over at the taxi stand and said, "Would you like to share a ride?"
"Yes," she said,"but we have to speak French now. You wouldn't want all those lessons to go to waste."
We laughed and shared a cab toward Paris.

What is Shakespeare’s purpose for including Paris’s desire to marry Juliet and for Lord Capulet to plan the wedding for Thursday?

He includes the wedding to Paris to add another complication so that the play will take longer. He includes the wedding to Paris to add another complication so that the readers will be in suspense as the play unwinds.

Answers

Answer:

Shakespeare's purpose is the one stated in option D:

D. He includes the wedding to Paris to add another complication so that the readers will be in suspense as the play unwinds.

Explanation:

A story, be it a novel or a play, is made of complications and conflicts. If everything happened smoothly and in accordance to the characters' plans, there would be no reason to tell the story. It would be boring.

That is why Shakespeare introduces yet another complication in the already so complicated plot of "Romeo and Juliet". As we know, the two fall in love in spite of their families being mortal enemies. They cannot be together publicly, and even have to marry in secret. Life is already tough on these two, and then there comes Paris saying he wants to marry Juliet and her father planning their wedding. This has the audience throwing their hands in the air in frustration and anxiety. Will those two lovebirds never catch a break? What will happen now? The suspense builds.

Answers

Answer:

C. Comforted the student and got on the bus with her.

Explanation:

Carlotta Walls LaNier's "A Mighty Long Way" revolves around the difficult times in American history where the blacks were discriminated against by the whites. In more focus was the national news of Little Rock Central High School where black students were admitted for the very first time.

In Chapter 4: Wait and See, the author recalls the incident where Elizabeth Eckford was comforted and helped by a white woman, Grace Lorch. The event was also reported in The New York Times with the narrative "a lone white woman Grace Lorch" coming to the aid of Elizabeth. Despite her repeated requests to the crowd to come to help Elizabeth, nobody came forward. Rather, she was also subjected to taunts. So, she comforted the distressed girl and helped her into the bus, accompanying her.

As a result, any government that is part of both organizations and can nominate a civil servant from their country to lead which means that the organizations could be led by a U.S. government official.
