What are some of Gogol Ganguli's character traits in your opinion? Book: The Namesake

Answers

Gogol is the center of the novel, and it is his journey from childhood into young adulthood that the narrator tracks most closely. Gogol’s transformation is marked in at least three ways. First, his name. Gogol is Gogol, of course, because his father and mother needed a name for him before leaving the hospital. The name “Gogol” was an important one to Ashoke, who adored Nikolai Gogol’s work. Ashoke also has traumatic connection to the train-wreck during which he was reading Gogol. When Gogol asks his father, when he is college, whether the name Gogol reminds Ashoke of nearly dying, Ashoke counters that “Gogol” is for him a name of hope, of joy—of life. Gogol the child is the happy outcome of a terrible event in Ashoke’s younger days.

Gogol’s decision to become Nikhil occurs before he knows his father’s story in detail. But the change to Nikhil also represents a maturation, an attempt to find a new self in college. This leads to the second of Gogol’s transformations: into a student of architecture. Ashima’s father was a painter, and so visual art runs in the family. Gogol is also inspired by the design of the Taj Mahal when the family visits India together, when he is in high school. At Yale, Nikhil is able to pursue his love of architecture most directly, and this leads him to graduate study in New York, and a job at a firm there.

Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, written by Justice Taney.

The question then arises, whether the provisions of the Constitution, in relation to the personal rights and privileges to which the citizen of a State should be entitled, embraced the negro African race, at that time in this country, or who might afterwards be imported, who had then or should afterwards be made free in any State; and to put it in the power of a single State to make him a citizen of the United States, and endue him with the full rights of citizenship in every other State without their consent? Does the Constitution of the United States act upon him whenever he shall be made free under the laws of a State, and raised there to the rank of a citizen, and immediately clothe him with all the privileges of a citizen in every other State, and in its own courts?

The court thinks the affirmative of these propositions cannot be maintained. And if it cannot, the plaintiff in error could not be a citizen of the State of Missouri, within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States, and, consequently, was not entitled to sue in its courts.

Why is Justice Taney’s argument ineffective?

He uses the freedom of African Americans as evidence.
He uses a previous status of African Americans as evidence.
He uses the dissenting argument of the court as evidence.
He uses the ruling of the previous court as evidence.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Taney cannot deny Scott citizenship because it is a federal right.

Before the civil war, only white men with property could vote, and only white people could be United States citizens. African Americans that were born in the United States territory are all citizens, by the The 14th Amendment (1868). So a perfect  counterclaim to the claim in the excerpt would be the chosen one because his citizenship is a Federal right by The 14th Amendment.

In your own words how would you describe the difference between a parody and
satire?

Answers

Answer:

A parody is a composition that imitates the style of another composition, normally for comic effect and often by applying that style to an outlandish or inappropriate subject. Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a perfect example of parody. Grahame-Smith took Jane Austen's text and introduced zombies into the storyline. Throughout the reworked novel, he maintained Austen's writing style, voice, and even much of the original storyline, creating a new work that is recognizable as being Jane Austen's but that definitely isn't.

difference----------------------------

A satire, on the other hand, is intended to do more than just entertain; it tries to improve humanity and its institutions. A satire is a literary work that tries to arouse the reader's disapproval of an object — a vice, an abuse, a faulty belief — by holding it up to ridicule. Satirists use euphemism, irony, exaggeration, and understatement to show, with a greater or lesser degree of levity, the follies of mankind and the paradoxes and idiocy that they can lead to.Some great examples of satire include George Orwell's Animal Farm, which ridicules the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia; Voltaire's Candide, which attacks the philosophy of Optimism; and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, which satirizes the "high-class" tastes, social expectations, and popular philosophies of his time.

Paragraph:

Written by Applepi101

Anne maintains an optimistic and joyful mood throughout the book and always has faith in the ability of man to change the world for the better. One quote that shows in the midst of the dark and depressing times she is in, she remains happy is when the book states, “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”. This means to me how although on the surface Frank may be sad, as she writes her sorrows, worries, and agony disappears and hope is born from the ashes. Another quote shows that she appreciates nature is when Anne states, “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.”. This tells us that Anne has learnt to find glory, joy, and beauty in the smallest things, like the diary that Otto Frank, her father, gave her for her birthday. While the world may be in chaos, she can make sense of it all through a pen and paper.

Answers

Answer:

Essay Below

Explanation:

Written by Appleπ101 on brainly

Violence against Asians have grown despite movements to stop. This is a clear violation of the 15th Amendment which clearly states that "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.". This includes any hate or vulgar language shown toward any race, ethnicity, gender identity, etc.

I believe that regardless of these clear laws through nonviolent protest, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s broke the pattern of public facilities' being segregated by “race”. In the South and achieved the most important breakthrough. Another example is in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights where it says, "Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.". This means to me that without clear evidence that a being has done something against human nature, or against the law, we cannot accuse them of something based on the quote above.

Nowhere in the Constitution—or in the Declaration of Independence, for that matter—are human beings classified according to factors such as race, skin color, ethnicity, sex, or religion. This is clear evidence that prejudice against Asians and Asian Americans is not right.

Even Aristotle said the reason being that he truly believed that people uneducated about government would choose a bad one. The terrible side that believes that Native Americans, Asian, African-American, etc are NOT equal, or the side that sticks to the law and not biased. First the terrible killing of African Americans based on the color of their skin, which Martin Luther King Jr tried so hard to stop, which Rosa Parks stayed put on her seat for, and for Nelson Mandela got put into jail for. All so that the world would be equal. All so that the world would see Asians, Native Americans, Muslims and all religions would have the right to freedom of speech, religion, and much more. But still, people didn't see through how MLK, RBG, and many more influential people worked hard.

Write an essay of at least 750 words comparing The R a p e of the Lock and "A Modest Proposal" in terms of each text's mode of attack. Are both pieces equally effective, or is one more effective than the other? Use textual support from both works to support an original thesis.

Answers

Answer:

"Although Alexander Pope's, The R a p e of the Lock, and Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal are both witty satires, they differ on their style, intention, and mood. To begin, in The R a p e of the Lock, Alexander Pope uses satire to invoke a capricious, melancholy mood to illustrate the absurdity of fighting over the cutting of one's hair. Hidden inside this poem is a crafty criticism of the society that helps create the crisis over the stolen lock. A Society in which appearances ere more important to a person’s sense of identity, and treats the insignificant with utmost importance. The very title of this mock- epic gives the audience a clue, the word "r a p e" and all its implications bring to mind a heinous crime of violation. "

Sonnets were 14 line poems that had a set format for writing them. Most poets during this period used sonnets to express their romantic love for a woman. Poets like Henry Howard, Sir Thomas Wyatt, the Earl of Surrey, and William Shakespeare were some out of many that used the sonnets during this time.
