What is the tone of this

“And so it happened that on a warm windy evening I drove over to East Egg to see two old friends
whom I scarcely knew at all. Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-
and-white Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the bay. The lawn started at the beach and ran
toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning
gardens - finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the
momentum of its run. The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected
gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and Tom Buchanan in riding clothes was standing
with his legs apart on the front porch”

Write a summary of ‘The Purification of the Thames’, The Illustrated London News 1858

Answers

Answer:

The great question of the purification — or rather of the non-pollution — of the Thames is the newest and most flagrant example of this ancient truth. Error has been permitted to accumulate upon error, neglect upon neglect, and wrong upon wrong, until the evil consequences, strengthened and complicated by the lapse of time, have become so unmanageable that action or inaction is equally dangerous. The Thames, which, fifty years ago, ran through London in a clear and limpid stream, over whose current it was a pleasure to be rowed, in whose waves it was delightful to bathe, and of whose pure waters it was wholesome to drink, has, by sheer neglect on the part both of the people and the Government, become a foul sewer, a river of pollution, a Stream of Death, festering and reeking with all abominable smells, and threatening three millions of people with pestilence as the penalty of their ignorance and apathy. It was the duty as well as the interest of London to keep its noble river, the source of all its wealth and much of its beauty, as clear as Nature gave it. But the initial difficulty in the case was that there was no London that could undertake the work. There was an old and small city, with rights and powers of self-government, surrounded by a congeries of towns, boroughs, and villages, larger than itself, and growing larger every day, all of which were equally interested in this great achievement, but none of which had the means of taking a step for the furtherance of the common design. The city or municipality of London — the mere nucleus of that mightier conglomeration of cities which form the actual metropolis of the British Empire — was not likely to tax the dwellers within its own narrow and defined area with the cost of the sewerage of the whole metropolis; and it had no power to levy a shilling for the purpose on the people of Westminster, Finsbury, Marylebone, or any other outlying borough.

Three ways I can save money in my current situation are not wasting money on things I don't need, instead I will save it for things I might actually need in the future. The second way is by getting food at home instead of going out to eat, I can use that money to buy more food for cheaper that I can make for myself at home. The last way I can save money is by turning off things that use energy, water, etc. when I am not using it, which will lower the bills.

summary about Act III of Macbeth.

Answers

Answer:

In the royal palace at Forres, Banquo paces and thinks about the coronation of Macbeth and the prophecies of the weird sisters. The witches foretold that Macbeth would be king and that Banquo’s line would eventually sit on the throne. If the first prophecy came true, Banquo thinks, feeling the stirring of ambition, why not the second? Macbeth enters, attired as king. He is followed by Lady Macbeth, now his queen, and the court. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth ask Banquo to attend the feast they will host that night. Banquo accepts their invitation and says that he plans to go for a ride on his horse for the afternoon. Macbeth mentions that they should discuss the problem of Malcolm and Donalbain. The brothers have fled from Scotland and may be plotting against his crown.

Banquo departs, and Macbeth dismisses his court. He is left alone in the hall with a single servant, to whom he speaks about some men who have come to see him. Macbeth asks if the men are still waiting and orders that they be fetched. Once the servant has gone, Macbeth begins a soliloquy. He muses on the subject of Banquo, reflecting that his old friend is the only man in Scotland whom he fears. He notes that if the witches’ prophecy is true, his will be a “fruitless crown,” by which he means that he will not have an heir. The murder of Duncan, which weighs so heavily on his conscience, may have simply cleared the way for Banquo’s sons to overthrow Macbeth’s own family.The servant reenters with Macbeth’s two visitors. Macbeth reminds the two men, who are murderers he has hired, of a conversation he had with them the day before, in which he chronicled the wrongs Banquo had done them in the past. He asks if they are angry and manly enough to take revenge on Banquo. They reply that they are, and Macbeth accepts their promise that they will murder his former friend. Macbeth reminds the murderers that Fleance must be killed along with his father and tells them to wait within the castle for his command.Elsewhere in the castle, Lady Macbeth expresses despair and sends a servant to fetch her husband. Macbeth enters and tells his wife that he too is discontented, saying that his mind is “full of scorpions”. He feels that the business that they began by killing Duncan is not yet complete because there are still threats to the throne that must be eliminated. Macbeth tells his wife that he has planned “a deed of dreadful note” for Banquo and Fleance and urges her to be jovial and kind to Banquo during the evening’s feast, in order to lure their next victim into a false sense of security

It is dusk, and the two murderers, now joined by a third, linger in a wooded park outside the palace. Banquo and Fleance approach on their horses and dismount. They light a torch, and the murderers set upon them. The murderers kill Banquo, who dies urging his son to flee and to avenge his death. One of the murderers extinguishes the torch, and in the darkness Fleance escapes. The murderers leave with Banquo’s body to find Macbeth and tell him what has happened. After his first confrontation with the witches, Macbeth worried that he would have to commit a murder to gain the Scottish crown. He seems to have gotten used to the idea, as by this point the body count has risen to alarming levels. Now that the first part of the witches’ prophecy has come true, Macbeth feels that he must kill his friend Banquo and the young Fleance in order to prevent the second part from becoming realized. But, as Fleance’s survival suggests, there can be no escape from the witches’ prophecies. (I hope this helps!

Answer:

DAETH

Explanation:

Our constitution does not copy the laws of neighbouring states; we are rather a pattern to others than imitators ourselves. Its administration favours the many instead of the few; this is why it is called a democracy. If we look to the laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differences; if no social standing, advancement in public life falls to reputation for capacity, class considerations not being allowed to interfere with merit; nor again does poverty bar the way, if a man is able to serve the state, he is not hindered by the obscurity of his condition. The freedom which we enjoy in our government extends also to our ordinary life. There, far from exercising a jealous surveillance over each other, we do not feel called upon to be angry with our neighbour for doing what he likes, or even to indulge in those injurious looks which cannot fail to be offensive, although they inflict no positive penalty. But all this ease in our private relations does not make us lawless as citizens.

How is Lady Macbeth strength shown in act1,scene5?

Answers

In act 1 scene 5, Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as a powerful woman who feels trapped within society`s view of a female. In Shakespearian times, there were associated male and female traits with male traits associated with strength, aggression, and rationality. Female traits, on the other hand, were associated with beauty, tender thoughts, and sensitivity. Being a female herself, Lady Macbeth commands the ‘sprits’ to ‘unsex [her] here,’ so she can rid herself of her female traits so she can be more male and thus powerful enough to commit evil.

B.that the current homeless situation in the city is confusing to most people

C.that the city realizes that the homeless situation is growing at an unpredictable rate

D. that the current homeless situation is creating hazardous conditions for city residents

Answers

Answer:

The word "unprecedented" conveys the following:

A. that the city has never before experienced the homeless situation that is occurring now.

Explanation:

"Unprecedented" is an adjective used to refer to something that has never been done or seen before, something that has never happened before. When the speaker of the sentence says the "spread of street encampments" is unprecedented, what he/she means is that the city has never experienced this situation before, that it had never been this urgent or alarming. For that reason, the best option is letter A. that the city has never before experienced the homeless situation that is occurring now.

How does dependency theory differ from modernization theory? Describe the ways these two theories complement or clash with one another. Which theory do you think best describes the current world economy?

Answers

Answer:

Modernization theory will boost economy of all countries while dependency theory will make poor economies colonized under the technology drive of western world

Explanation:

As per the Modernization theory, the higher will be the intervention of technology in our lives, the higher will be the increase in wealth across the globe. This will eventually improve the condition of low-income nations. While on the other hand Dependency theory states that technology intervention led to increase in wealth of few countries only. It can also be perceived that technology drive of western world has colonised the poor economies once again the way it used to be in pre world war era.

In current scenario, the dependency theory seems to be more convenient because as perceived the gain in wealth of low income countries has not increased with a pace as expected. Technology has boosted the economy of  developed and developing countries majorly
