Doctor Pascal
by Emile Zola
In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house.
Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled.
For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair.
Without the information provided by the second paragraph, the reader might draw which of these conclusions about Dr. Pascal? (5 points)
He is lingering over something written by his fianceé.
He is having an unpleasant memory from his childhood.
He is reading a necessary piece of advice from his doctor.
He is putting off going outside to perform an unpleasant task.
Answer:
He is lingering over something written by his fiancee'.
Explanation:
Pascal's character was really Zola and the dealing with the morbid themes. She wants to burn all of his stuff; he wants lock his papers up so she cannot get to them. He and his niece fall in love. This would be considered an incestuous relationship.

Explanation:
The poem says a lot about the theme of time passing and looks fading. The woman in the poem regrets the loss of youth and beauty. What is your definition of beauty? Is it a physical feature? Is there such a thing as “inner beauty? What kind of beauty might that be? Write your answer in two hundred words.
Answer and Explanation:
This is a personal question about your opinion. I will provide an example below. Feel free to add or edit anything to fit your beliefs and opinions:
My definition of beauty does go beyond looks, although I must agree that all of us probably still judge people first based on their appearance. Still, I believe personality, character, manners, and actions are a better way to convey one's true beauty. Indeed, it is what most people would call "inner beauty", and I truly think it exists.
If someone despises or mistreats others, no matter how physically beautiful that someone is, we will end up finding them ugly because their actions and traits are ugly. The same happens the other way around. A person may not be considered very attractive, but if they are gentle, polite, and intelligent, for instance, we will perceive that person as beautiful and will prefer their company over the attractive but rude person.

Plath’s poem, “Mirror,” which she wrote in 1961, is a poignant poem that touches on the themes of time passing and beauty as a mirror (the speaker of the poem) that relates its experiences with a woman who has grown old and is no longer beautiful. Having the mirror narrate the poem is an example of personification. Notice that it speaks with objectivity of a child who just reflects on surface realities and is too young to understand deeper nuances.

Write a compare-and-contrast essay about traditional broadcast network television and
modern niche programming. Use the information you learned in this unit's lesson on media literacy as a source.
I can't write a whole essay, but I can definitely give you some main points for it.
Back in the day, when TV's still had knobs and antennas, there weren't many channels to choose from (obviously). Even when each American household had a TV in 1965, there were still only three channels to choose from, CBS, NBC, and ABC. Any TV shows or news broadcasts were primarily on those stations. However, by 1970, that number had skyrocketed to over 700 UHF and VHF channels, and advertisers had jumped on the opportunity to market to Americans through it.
The need for niche networks arose from a need from consumers to easily find things they gravitate towards, such as soap operas, science shows, cooking shows, etc. It also arose because advertisers wanted to market via the niche method. Instead of marketing to a whole bunch of people and hoping the ones they really want to target receive the message, they go right to the source with niche TV, tailoring their advertisements to increase their consumer awareness and potential sales.

How does Shakespeare use figurative language to develop the character of Cassius?
Answer:
I think Cassius uses figurative language, such as the simile that compares Caesar to Colossus, to illustrate the dangers of Caesar's rise to power. He uses the metaphor of a beast eating when he asks, “Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed / That he is grown so great?” (lines 158–159).

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
Proctor: I'd have you see some honesty in it. Let them, that never lied die now to keep their souls. It is
pretense for me, a vanity that will not blind God nor keep my children out of the wind.
What does John Proctor mean with this statement in his last conversation with Elizabeth?
A. He does not want to leave Elizabeth with the impression that he did anything wrong.
B. There are many that would die before they'd lie; however, because he has lied before, he can do it again if it means staying alive.
C. The lie isn't as terrible since he has lied to her before; it isn't as sinful to lie again.
D. He would like to see something honest come of it all, and it isn't as hard to tell a lie as others might think.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
His last conversation with Elizabeth was spent telling her he would NOT lie. This shows that he is a changed man who has learned from the mistakes his lies have caused.
From this excerpt, John Proctor meant that;
B. There are many that would die before they'd lie; however, because he has lied before, he can do it again if it means staying alive.
In this quote, Proctor and his wife Elizabeth were reasoning on the best course to take to remain alive. If he lied against himself by confessing that he was a witch, he would live. If not, he will die. Then in 1692 during the Salem Witch trials, many were accused of witchcraft. Some convicted people were hanged while some escaped death if they confessed to being witches.
All this while, Proctor had been maintaining the truth that he was not a witch. But now, under pressure, he reasoned on confessing even though he knew that he was not a witch, to escape death.
He reasoned that since he had lied in the case of his adultery with Abigail, he could lie again now to save himself. He then reached the conclusion to confess.
In conclusion, Proctor believed that since he had lied before, he could lie again now to save himself.
