Answer:

Bullion is money, specifically gold or silver that has been freshly mined but not cleaned and made into money.

Clues to the meaning include the fact that the kids need "3 dollars", the speaker doesn't know how they wanted all that "money" at one time, and they had to "raise" it, as in "raising money". When he says, "I hadn't any idea where to turn to raise all that bullion..." he means the 3 dollars.

Answers

Answer:

Fictional story on a just king and his nasty, villain brother.

Explanation:

The pleasant island of Vanilia was ruled by a just king. His subjects respected him and his beautiful queen but his younger brother was nasty, a villain who would do anything to jeopardize the plans of his brother. He had always wanted the kingdom for himself but wasn't given the throne as he was just the second heir, after his brother.

One day, while his brother was away at war, he decided to capture the throne by causing a revolt and driving away from the loyal subjects and courtiers of the king. He kept the queen in captivity and was able to enjoy his power for some days. The king, unaware that his throne had fallen into the hands of his wily brother, came home to find that almost all his loyal subjects were either killed or imprisoned. Outraged at his brother, he waged a war against the young king and killed him. Those loyal to the younger brother were killed while some shifted loyalties, stating that they had been forced to side with the dead king. The Queen was rescued and the kingdom returned back to its normal condition. The king also made a new proclamation that no one is to feel inferior or superior in his kingdom and everyone stays equal. Such was the quality of the wise king who brought back his kingdom to a state of peace.

Read this claim:
Forced retirement for airline pilots at age 60 is a good policy that
ensures safety for passengers.
Which counterclaim is most appropriate for the author to address?
O A. Just because a pilot is 60 years old doesn't mean that he or she is
reckless or unconcerned about passengers.
B. The idea that forced retirement will free up jobs for younger pilots is
false; airlines are largely cutting back.
O C. Age 60 is no longer as old as it used to be; healthy pilots can continue
flying safely for many years after 60.
D. The safety of passengers isn't as important as the ability of older pilots
to keep jobs and provide for their families.

Answers

Answer:

C). Age 60 is no longer as old as it used to be; healthy pilots can continue

flying safely for many years after 60.

Explanation:

Counterclaims are primarily described as the claims that aim to offset or negate the original claim made by the author. It assists the author to provide another side of his argument and establish credibility.

As per the question, the third option asserts a claim which most appropriately negates the author's claim regarding the 'forced retirement of pilots over 60 years of age for the sake of passengers' safety.' It opposes this claim by asserting that age is not a factor but rather the health is and since 'age 60' has not remained similar to what it was earlier and thus, healthy pilots must be allowed to fly. This counterclaim logically denies the author's claim and offers a contrasting perspective to this claim regarding forced retirement. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Answers

Answer:

Hughes refers to Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg, Paul Lawrence Dunbar as well as Claude McKay as his major influences, i will be discussing the influence of each poet on Hughes below with reference to "Halem ( A Dream Deferred)".

Explanation:

Hughes attraction to the power of the urban dwellers as well as his straightforward descriptive power is influenced by Sandburg. Hughes's lyric simplicity and his love for the folk we can say he got this influence from Dunbar.

Furthermore, Hughes sense of rhythm and his fascination with sensual people i.e people of the body not the mind is influenced by Walt Whitman. All the mentioned elements are essential in the poetry of Hughes.

He explored the poetic form of blues and depicts Halem dancers and peopled the poem and also showed the images of dream and the images of "Dream Deffered" in his work. . his poem is usually of love and life.

Montresor is telling his story fifty years ("half of a century") after committing murder. What do you believe motivated him to share his tale so long after the events? Is Montresor a sociopath, or does he possess a conscience? Use evidence from the story to support your position.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Montresor is telling his story fifty years ("half of a century") after committing murder. What do you believe motivated him to share his tale so long after the events?

I believe Montresor to be a very proud man. As such, he cannot help but feel satisfaction and a sense of self-gratification for having gone half a century without being caught. He shares the story because it pleases him to do so. He is sharing it like someone would share their greatest accomplishments, a discovery, a success. The evidence that Montresor is proud is given to us right at the beginning of the story, when he explains that he did what he did due to feeling offended:

THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge. You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged; this was a point definitely, settled --but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.

Notice that the passage above also reveals his intent of remaining unpunished.

Is Montresor a sociopath, or does he possess a conscience? Use evidence from the story to support your position.

Montresor does display the characteristics typically attributed to a sociopath. He is certainly proud, calculating, and deceiving. He planned meticulously, knowing his target's flaws and using them to his own advantage. He also showed no emotion or remorse whatsoever. Quite the contrary, while he walled Fortunato alive, he did it coldly. Even when there were moments of hesitation or heaviness of heart, it was not due to guilty. It was either due to the dampness of the catacombs, or due to brief fear that Fortunato might have escaped and would try to attack him:

A succession of loud and shrill screams, bursting suddenly from the throat of the chained form, seemed to thrust me violently back. For a brief moment I hesitated, I trembled. Unsheathing my rapier, I began to grope with it about the recess; but the thought of an instant reassured me. I placed my hand upon the solid fabric of the catacombs, and felt satisfied.

[...]

My heart grew sick; it was the dampness of the catacombs that made it so. I hastened to make an end of my labour.

The fairy tales Snow White and Beauty and the Beast share a similar theme: that real beauty comes from within. In your opinion, which text develops this theme more effectively? As you write your essay, remember to use details from both stories to support your response. PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE! 3 PARAGRAPHS!

Answers

While both fairy tales provide great messages, Beauty and the Beast had well developed characters, a great story line, and explored real world problems that helped better state the message. The classic fairytale shows the story of an intelligent young girl with a thirst for knowledge who saw past the ugly exterior of a beast, and into a heart of gold. Both characters managed to stay decent people and true to their heart despite the terrible treatment and abuse they faced. Belle was known for her eye-catching beauty, but this characteristic of hers paled in comparison to her brain and her heart. While the beast had issues, Belle's kind-nature helped him work through them, her presence turned him back into his beautiful self, which perfectly represents the theme of the story.

Snow White is quite similar; she is a beautiful princess with a kind heart, who see's past the seven little dwarfs' odd personalities. However, having the antagonist obsessed with her beauty just adds emphasis to the wrong idea of the story. The queen is so obsessed with being the most beautiful, she attempts to murder an innocent girl. Instead of focusing on "beauty comes from within" we see more of "envy is powerful". While it is a great story and a strong message, the characters and plot are simply not as strong as Beauty and the Beast.

A stories antagonist is a great way for an author to present the obstacle, and therefore the theme of a story. Because the queen in Snow White's story was so obsessed with her looks, her envy and jealousy drove her mad. Beauty and the Beast had everyone, even Belle for a little while, thinking that the Prince was in fact, a beast. However, Belle eventually saw inside the Prince's heart, and learned about true beauty. Both stories have strong messages and great story lines, but Beauty and the Beast's advanced use of characters and villains helped develop the theme in a powerful way, which is the mark of a great story.
