What happens to the individuals who have signed the petition? From the Crucible

Answers

Answer 1

John Proctor presents what he calls a "testament" to Justice Danforth, saying "the people signing it declare their good opinion of Rebecca and my wife, and Martha Corey." He then says the people who signed it are landowners and church goers. Reverend Parris says everyone on the list should be summoned for questioning, saying it is "a clear attack upon the court." The Reverend Hale, who has been growing increasingly distressed by the courtroom proceedings, responds to this (the stage direction says "trying to contain himself") to ask Parris if every defense must be seen as an attack upon the court.

Justice Danforth then orders Cheever to have warrants drawn up for all 91 people who signed the testament, "arrests for examination." Mister Nurse, who, with John Proctor, decided to get the villagers to sign their names to show their support, is horrified that he may have put them in danger. Danforth assures him all will be well "if they are of good conscience," but that he must understand: "that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it; there be no road between."

This scene is one of many in the play that shows a clear parallel to the McCarthy hearings and the activities of McCarthy's operatives as they attempted to ferret out Communists. Guilt by association, that is, the assumption that anyone who supports people who are wrongly accused must be in league with the accused, or in this case, those wrongly accused of being Communists must somehow be sympathizers or even Communists themselves, was a common tactic used by McCarthy. It is clearly the dominant theme here, as the supporters of Martha Corey, Rebecca Nurse and Elizabeth Proctor are all to be arrested for questioning.

Where is Fujio when he finds the grasshopper?
O He is at a distance from the other children.
He is climbing the embankment.
He is sitting next to the narrator.
He and Kiyoko are standing together.

Answers

Answer:

He is at a distance from the other children.

Explanation:

From the book The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket, Fujio finds what appears to be a grasshopper and offers it to Kiyoko as a token of his love because she asks for it. However, it is soon discovered that it is not a grasshopper after all but a bell cricket.

Fujio finds the grasshopper when he was at a distance from other children because when he discovers the grasshopper, he calls the other children to come and see, including Kiyoko who he hopes would be impressed.

The poet suggests that goodness and beauty are doubly so when we’re talking about socks, they are delightful because they come in pairs. Do you think this is a serious remark or a tongue-in-cheek (playful/joking) comment? Do you agree that everything that comes in pairs is special or wonderful?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

I believe this is a tongue-in-cheek comment. As a matter of fact, this type of comment depends on our perspective in life, on how positively or negatively we tend to see things. Maybe a more positive person has noticed one day that he enjoys things that come in pairs. It may just be a coincidence, but he turned it into some sort of rule, of philosophy even.

I once heard somewhere that disasters come in trios. That means, if something bad happens, you can expect two more bad things to take place. Of course, this is not true - the same way that good things do not necessarily come in pairs. Maybe a person who focuses more on the negative side of things once payed attention only to disasters and tragedies occurring around him. Maybe he noticed three bad things and took them as the rule.

Anyhow, this type of comment is fun and harmless. It helps us make sense of the world we live in, as if we were able to understand things - good and bad - and perhaps even have some control over them. But it should not be taken as a serious remark.

Reread the simile. Describe how it helps you see and understand what the author is experiencing. Abe We always started with the easy (words] I had already learned, and which I wrote down and read from the slate. The new ones I had to listen to first, putting them together as well as I could from the sounds. At the end of the lesson I had to listen to the formidable words that sounded more like trapezes in full swing. ​

Answers

Answer:

As we know, a simile is a literary device that involves a comparison between two distinctly related things using 'like' or 'as' in order to explain or elaborate them for a better understanding of the reader.

In the given simile, the author compares the 'sound of formidable words' with the 'sound of trapezes in full swing' which suggests that the author is experiencing a very hard time learning these words and connotes his negative mood. The word 'formidable' means 'something frightening or dreading' which suggests that the author was having a terrifying experience as supplemented by the phrase 'trapezes in full swing' implying that the words were confusing and difficult for him to learn.

When Hamlet sees the ghost for the first time, Shakespeare does not provide stage
directions, although he does make the physical actions of the characters clear
through their words. Describe the actions of the characters after Marcellus says, "You
shall not go, my lord." What are Horatio and Marcellus doing in this part, and why?
What is Hamlet doing, and why?

Answers

Answer:

After saying "You shall not go, my lord," Marcellus steps in front of Hamlet and tries to tell him, to stop him from moving forward. Seeing that Marcellus was unable to stop Hamlet, Horatio joins him and together they try to prevent Hamlet from following the ghost, but Hamlet manages to break free and pursue his goal of following the ghost.

Explanation:

These facts happen in Act 5 and Scene 5 of Hamlet. When Hamlet meets his father's ghost and finds out that his father was murdered by Claudius. Hamlet is alone at that moment, but he is very shaken by everything he heard. When Marcellus and Horatio find Hamlet, the ghost disappears and they don't understand why Hamlet was so upset.

Hamlet explains what happened and says he will follow the ghost, as he needs more answers. Marcellus and Horatio think he is going crazy and try to stop him from moving forward, but without success, since Hamlet manages to break free and suck the ghost.

3. Why is ethnic background/ethnicity the most
common recognized form of culture? What
impact does that have on society?

Answers

Race and ethnicity are two concepts related to human ancestry. Race is defined as “a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits.” The term ethnicities is more broadly defined as “large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin or background.”

“Race” is usually associated with biology and linked with physical characteristics such as skin color or hair texture. “Ethnicity” is linked with cultural expression and identification. However, both are social constructs used to categorize and characterize seemingly distinct populations
