Read the quote. “War is Fear Cloaked in Courage”. Explain what you think General Westmoreland meant by it. How does it relate to the things we carried?
Answer:
General Westmoreland is right in his statement.
Explanation:
General Westmoreland means that in war fear of death is present in every individual even in a brave people. In war, fear is hidden in the courage showed by the people. There is no one who can't fear in the war because everyone knew that there is a possibility of death or injury in the war. But in the war, people hid their fear through courage so that's why General Westmoreland was right in their statement about fear.

THIS QUESTION IS FOR 100 POINTS!!!
Write a full-length story (700 word minimum) that resembles a modern epic! Your story must include the following elements that resemble a epic literature:
- Epic hero protagonist with multiple epithets
- Epic settings
- Epic-related plot devices
- Epic themes
- At least two (2) common story archetypes
Answer:
Six Elements Of The Epic:
1) Plot centers around a Hero of Unbelievable Stature. The epic hero completes what everyone only attempts. In ancient epics, the hero often is either partially divine or at least protected by a god or God.
2) Involves deeds of superhuman strength and valor. Accomplish feats no real human could.
3) Vast Setting. The action spans not only geographical but also often cosmological space: across land, sea, into the underworld, or thru space or time etc.
4) Involves supernatural and-or otherworldly forces. Gods, demons, angels, time/space travel, cheating death etc.
5) Sustained elevation of style. Overwritten. Overly formal, highly stylized (poetry, lyricism (singing), exaggeration)
6) Poet remains objective and omniscient. The narrator sees and knows all and presents all perspectives.
Epic Origins: Generally, epics are also mythologized histories.
1) A conglomeration of pre-existing stories and characters.
2) Often of oral origin.
3) At least loosely based around historical or quasi-historical characters or events or characters.
4) Set in a mythologized distant time, traditionally in the past.
Epics As Moral Codes (Or Political Propaganda): The epic nearly always:
1) Represents moral ideals and taboos in the behavior of the hero and antagonist. The hero's behavior and the lessons he learns along the way represent the culture's ideals; what the hero does, all men should strive toward. The Other (monster or antagonist) is shown as essentially/inherently inferior to the hero; the Other represents either those who break moral taboos or the inferiority of Other cultures/peoples/nations etc.
Taken as a whole, we find that moral codes deal with, and all people in all stories are obsessed with:
a) Sex. Who gets to bangeth whom? How are these rules divided/differentiated between the sexes? How are these rules divided/differentiated between social class or birth rank?
b) War and Violence. When are or aren't we justified killing one another?
c) The Distribution of Wealth. How is property treated within the culture and between the culture and the Other?
d) Food and Alcohol. How is the treatment of both ritualized, usually in a religious context, and why? What does this tell us about the origin of religious belief and law?
2) Grants cosmological significance to historical events; root causes are nearly always traced back to the will of the gods or God; the hero's heroism and the triumph of the people is divinely ordained. In this way history itself is given moral significance and the people feel divinely guided toward their fate, especially if not always in relationship to the Other. As a representative of the people, the hero proves the people/tribe/nation's will and actions are uniquely divinely justified. The economic root causes of human relations -- between warring nations, between master and slave, between men and women -- are entirely hidden beneath an exciting, mythological, action adventure pitting good against evil.
Note that this last one is closely tied to the first, especially in terms of sex, war, wealth and, yes, even food (the most basic form of wealth) and booze.
Epics As Cognitive or Spiritual Models of Development
Beginning with Gilgamesh and continuing on thru Achilles, Odysseus, Beowulf and Sir Gawain -- not to mention Spiderman and Batman or Ricky Bobby -- the epic also culminates around the hero's journey of self discovery and emotional/psychological/spiritual maturation.
Again, all epics seem to start with Gilgamesh's journey to involve the hero:
a) Confronting the reality of death and thus realizing heroism is a spiritual or psychological quality, not just a physical one. This often involves a journey beneath the earth, to the underworld, where death itself abides.
b) Learning that love is more valuable than material wealth or life itself.
Epic Examples.
The Epic of Gilgamesh
Both The Hebrew Scriptures and The New Testament
The Iliad and The Odyssey
Beowulf
King Arthur and the Knights of Round Table
Dante's Inferno
The Lord of the Rings
Most Superhero Series (Superman, Batman...)
The James Bond Series
Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica
The historical narratives of the Revolutionary War, The Civil War, WWI, WWII, Fox News coverage of the War In Iraq, any coverage of the Kennedy family.
Answer:
Explanation;
Once upon a time, actually this was near the big apple.
Mitchell O'lean was waiting eagerly to deliever her valentines gifts. She had made 25 big red heart shaped cut outs, with bubble gum taped on the side.
Mitchell O'leans teacher 4th grade teacher, Mrs Porter, had told everyone to bring a valentines gift for everybody in there class, so nobody would be left out, and at noon they would given out by the owners one by one.
Mitchell jumped in her seat as she watched the clock, it seemed as if it was going as slow like a turlte on purpose.
11;45 was read on the clock. And all Mitchell could do was wait until noon.
As Mitchell was snapped into reality when her teacher clapped her hands twice.
"Eyes on me" stated Mrs Porter. "I assume everybody has there valentines gifts?"
The class nodded with giggles around the room, smiles roaming on everybody's faces.
"Good, now everybody make sure you have 26 velentines cards."
The whole class started to count, as the teacher went around the classroom.
Mitchell had a ghostly pale look on her face.
She had forgotten one of her cards.
Mitchell searched desperately to see if she had dropped one in her bag, or accidentally miscounted.
She recounted all the names, there was Sophias, Violet's, Josh's and so many more.
She realised the one she had forgotten, was The teachers.
Mrs porters a teacher, she wouldn't care, right?
No. Mitchell thought. If I was sick would I want people to forget about mine?
Mitchell glanced to the clock. 11;52.
Mitchell raced her hand.
"Yes, Mitchell?" Mrs Porter asked.
"Bathroom please" she replied with a nervous look.
The teacher nodded to the door as mitchell scurried out.
She dashed from the classroom and went to search for the vending machine near the teachers lounge. She once saw Mrs Porter come out with a candy bar in there, she knew that a candy bar would be the best gift.
She finally made it to the door to the teacher lounge, just to find out it was locked.
Mitchell looked around hopelesly, just to see a clock reading 11;57.
The young girl sat near the door, while tears drops ran down her face.
She didn't want to be known as a selfish person, and she most defintaly didn't want Mrs porter to be dissapointed.
As she sat there crying a tall man aproached her.
"Child, why are you on the floor?"
Mitchell looked up to see a janitor with a name tag saying " Joe".
She pointed to the locked door as she explained her story to Mr. Joe.
"Child, you couldv'e just asked me for help, I couldve opended the door."
As he opended the door Mitchells tears dried. She saw a stack of candy bars piled on the table.
She rushed in and got one, as she ran back to her classroom, looking back at a bit confused Joe.
Mitchell made it to her classroom, and saw everybody handing out candys. She rushed to her desk and got hers out.
She started to hand out all the candys, saving Mrs porters for last.
As the young girl placed the last candy on Mrs Porters desk, her smile was big and wide. She knew she had done good. And would be able to enjoy the rest of her treats in piece.

Introducing a boy, a girl said, he is the son of the father of my uncle. How is the boy related to the girl
Answer:
The boy is the girl's uncle.
Explanation:
The girl's uncle is her father's or mother's brother. This means that the uncle's father is this girl's grandfather, since he is the father of her father or her mother. Therefore, all of her grandfather's children are siblings of her father or mother. Therefore, all her father's or mother's brothers are her uncles.
In this case, if the boy is the son of her uncle's father, it means that the boy is her uncle's brother, and therefore the boy is her uncle, the son of her grandfather.
In this excerpt, the authors present a comparison between various criminals. An argument in favor of reporting crime. A contrast between different types of crime. An argument against embezzlement.
This question is missing the excerpt. I was able to find it online. It is the following:
Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's "Freakonomics":
A key fact of white-collar crime is that we hear about only the very slim fraction of people who are caught cheating. Most embezzlers lead quiet and theoretically happy lives; employees who steal company property are rarely detected. With street crime, meanwhile, that is not the case. A mugging or a burglary or a murder is usually tallied whether or not the criminal is caught. A street crime has a victim, who typically reports the crime to the police, who generate data, which in turn generate thousands of academic papers by criminologists, sociologists, and economists. But white-collar crime presents no obvious victim.
Answer:
In the excerpt, the authors present:
C. A contrast between different types of crime.
Explanation:
Levitt and Dubner, in the excerpt above, are contrasting two types of crime. To see that, we need to keep in mind that a comparison and a contrast are different. A comparison aims to find similarities, while a contrast aims to find differences. We clearly have a contrast here, since the authors present the dissimilarities, that is, the differences between white-collar crime and street crime.
According to the excerpt, white-collar crime is rarely noticed by statistical papers. Only a small percentage of people is caught. On the other hand, street crime makes the statistics quite easily. Even when no one is caught, the crime itself is reported anyway.
Answer:
C

Why is the spider lady more interesting to the people than the angel? She spins a web. She openly shares her story. She can predict the future. She is a miracle healer
Answer:
She openly shares her story.
Explanation:
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's short story "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" is a story of magic realism that revolves around the eponymous character of the story. The story deals with themes of supernatural elements, angels, and a spider lady, and presents themes of cruelty and callousness in the story.
The Spider-Girl/Lady was the new attraction at the carnival, that distracted the attention from the fallen angel. Soon, most of the people shifted their attention to the Spider Lady, not only because they've grown bored of the fallen angel but also the spider lady can respond to their queries while the old man hadn't.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
