Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question.

For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.

But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

Question: Could you work in concert with classmates from all walks of life? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, it will be possible to work with such people but at the same time, it will also pose a huge challenge to work with such diverse class of people.

Explanation:

Considering the bolded words or phrases are - "in concert with" and "all walks of life", we can safely assume that these phrases are used to signify or mean something deeper than they may seem to suggest.

First, the phrase "in concert with" means 'working together' whereas "all walks of life" means people who have different jobs and positions, literally meaning people with different characters and backgrounds.

So, coming to the answer for the question "could you work in concert with classmates from all walks of life?", I would say that it will be a challenge to try to work with people from diverse characteristics. There can be conflicting interests but at the same time, it will also pose a chance to get diverse exposure and experience with such diversity. So, I must say, for me, it will be a challenge to work with them but not impossible.

Why did Shakespeare include a subplot in a midsummer night dream??

Answers

To show that illusion and reality have the ability to unite. The ending of a midsummer night dream, is a happy ending, whereas the subplot is one of tragedy. The subplot is actually an antithesis of the main plot. Hippolyta calls the moon, which Starveling represents with a lantern, a bush, and his dog, tedious and complains, "I am weary of this moon. Would he would change!" (V.i.250-51). However, when the play is done, Theseus ultimately praises their performance, saying, "And so it is, truly [a fine tragedy]; and very notably discharged" (355). Players remain clinging to their illusions, showing us that, even though antithetical, illusions and reality can unite.

Read the two excerpts from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar. [BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him. As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his fortune, honour for his valour, and death for his ambition. [ANTONY.] The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answered it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest— For Brutus is an honourable man, So are they all, all honourable men— Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome, Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill. Which statements are true of both monologues? Select three options. The speaker uses sarcasm. The speaker uses repetition and parallelism. The speaker uses imagery. The speaker attempts to calm the audience. The speaker appeals to emotions.

Answers

Answer:

The speaker uses repetition and parallelism.

The speaker uses imagery.

The speaker appeals to emotions.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's play "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the assassination of Julius Caesar before he was made ruler of Rome. And the doers of the act were his close friends Brutus and Cassius, who revealed they had done it to prevent Rome from being ruled by an emperor, and also to make it more of a free nation rather than be ruled by a single man.

The two given monologues are from Act III scene ii of the play after the death of Caesar. Brutus's monologue reveals his intention behind his own betrayal to get Caesar killed while Antony's monologue also follows the same reason as Brutus. Both monologues show the speakers using imagery and appealing to the emotions of the people. Moreover, both speeches also have repetition and are parallel with each other.

How does Baldwin encourage sympathy or disdain for certain characters in Sonny’s blues?

Answers

Answer:

Baldwin in his story 'Sonny's Blues' has encouraged sympathy and disdain for certain characters.

Explanation:

'Sonny's Blues' is a short storyy written by James Baldwin. The story is centered around the unnamed narrator and his drug addict brother, Sonny.

The author managed to encourage sympathy or disdain for certain characters in the story by the unnamed narrator. The narrator disdains Sonny's friend who always ask him for money. This was evident when Sonny's friend said that he would have killed his life to which the narrator dissented. The narrator disdained drug addicts of his brother, his brother's friend, and also his students.

The other incident when narrator disdains a character was when he saw a man and tthree woman singing and testifying. He disdained his heritage there. The narrator developed sympathies for the characters when he came to know about their sufferings. For instance, after his daughter's death, he began to sympathise with his brother's sufferings.

Why does the author use the word determined in this sentence from the passage? In an officer’s training program in college, I learned I would not be eligible to fly for the military because of problems with my eyesight, but I was determined to fulfill my dream anyway. to emphasize the strength of his desire to become a pilot to show that he was willing to do the impossible to suggest that only he, and no one else, inspired his goal to imply that he achieved the goal he set out to achieve

Answers

Answer:

To emphasize the strength of his desire to become a pilot.

Explanation:

So, the passage is about this person learning that he can't become a pilot for the military because of their bad eyesight but they are trying to do so anyway. The word "determined" means they are going to do whatever it takes as long as they reach their goal. Let's go over the answers.

1: To emphasize the strength of his desire to become a pilot.

This is exactly what the narrator was talking about. He used the word "determined" to showcase how badly he wanted the job and how he was going to try to go and achieve their goal.

2: To show that he was willing to do the impossible.

I don't think that it's impossible to be a pilot with bad eyesight but it's improbable(not likely). I mean, if the narrator shows that he is  capable of flying even with poor eyesight, then it could be possible that he becomes a pilot.

3: To suggest that only he, and no one else, inspired his goal.

While his goal is to fly, using the word "determined" doesn't suggest that he is the only one who inspired to do so. The narrator could have a hero that he looks up to and wants to be just like them, so he wants to be a pilot.

4: To imply that he achieved the goal he set out to achieve.

Even though flying is his goal, using the word "determined" does not imply that he achieved their goal. It just meant that he was going to do his best to achieve his goal, not that he actually achieved it.

So, the answer is 1: To emphasize the strength of his desire to become a pilot.

Transcendentalism was a philosophical movement that sought to have individuals "transcend" to a higher spiritual level. To achieve this goal, the individual had to seek spiritual, not material, greatness and the essential truths of life through intuition.
1. How are you affected by nature? Do you find comfort in it? Do you reflect the moods of nature?
2.What is the role of nature in your life?
3.What is meant by an individual's spiritual side? How to you define it?
4. Is there a connection between the individual's spirit and nature? If so, what is that connection?
5. What does it mean to know something intuitively? For example, has a parent or a sibling ever known something was wrong with you without having talked with or seen you? What do we mean when we say "I just know it"?
6. How do you demonstrate that you are an individual? Do you think independently of others or do you follow the crowd?

***PLEASE ANSWER EACH QUESTION INDIVIDUALLY (1,2,3,4, ETC.)

Answers

I can't give you an answer for most of these since they are personal questions, instead I will guide you through them.

1. How are you affected by nature? This one is simple. Just write about your thoughts on nature. Do you find comfort in it? This one is asking if nature is calming for you. Do you reflect the mood of nature? This one might be a little harder to understand, but all it's asking is if nature is if the calming or irritating (whatever mood you see in nature) is incorporated in your life.

2. What is the role of nature in your life? This one is similar to the first question, but it's asking how you interact with nature instead of your thoughts of it.

3. What is meant by an individual's spiritual side? Define what a "spiritual side" is using a textbook definition. How do you define it? Define what a "spiritual side" is using your own words.

4. Is there a connection between the individual's spirit and nature? Does one's spirit (not necessarily your spirit) and nature connect? If so, what is that connection? How do they connect?

5. What does it mean to know something intuitively? Define intuitively For example, has a parent or a sibling ever known something was wrong with you without having talked with or seen you? Have they? If so, you could probably use that in your writing as an example. What do we mean when we say "I just know it"? "Just knowing it" is the same thing as knowing something intuitively, but probably talk about how one would "just know it."

6. How do you demonstrate that you are an individual? You should give examples here on how you are an individual. Maybe you like to do things by yourself or you aren't heavily influenced by others thoughts and beliefs? Do you think independently of others or do you follow the crowd? Simply state if you fall into peer pressure in any way.

I hope you do well on your essay or whatever this is for :D

I feel a strong attraction to nature. I have always loved to be around nature. I love planting and growing things. I also love to keep pets. I feel very comfortable around nature. I feel like it helps me to heal and that I draw energy from it.

I do not always reflect the moods of nature. For instance, if I am in the woods, I'd most feel very peaceful and calm. I do not necessarily pick up high energy when the wind is strong or when there is a hurricane.

2. Nature is an integral part of what and who we are. Our bodies depend on nature. We feed off nature. Nature provides us with energy. We in turn help to preserve nature.

3. Every human being is made up of different parts. We are not just biological animals that cease to exist when the component of our system that can degrade and decay ceases to exist. Science is coming to prove this now because, it is possible to take the soul of a computer which is a history of all of its activities, memory, and configuration, and transfer that to another location or another computer.

4. Theological texts provide strong evidence to show that there is a relationship between the human spirit and nature. The evidence of this connection is still a subject of debate in very many scientific circles. The closest explanations come from the fact that we are able to create what we can see out of what we cannot see. Another debate that lends clarity to the existence of the connection between the individual's spirit and nature is that of the Origin of Things.

5. Intuitive knowledge is the knowledge that exists in the absence of hard or visible evidence. It usually comes in form of a premonition or other kind of bodily disturbance to the equilibrium in our energy levels.

6. We each demonstrate that we are individuals by following the crowd and by trying at the same time to distinguish ourselves from that crowd. As social animals, our validation comes from two sources: internally and externally. The internal validation however is strongly impacted upon by our upbringing. Psychologists call this a sense of self.

Interestingly, this sense of self is healthiest the most when there is a healthy balance between our relationship to self and our social relationships.

infinitive phrase - an infinitive with modifiers, a complement, or a subject, acting together as a single part of speech

gerund phrase - a gerund accompanied by modifiers or complements

infinitive - a form of a verb that generally appears with the word to and acts as a noun, adjective, or adverb

participle - a form of a verb that acts as an adjective

gerund - a form of a verb that acts as a noun

participial phrase - a participle that is modified by an adverb or adverb phrase or has a complement

Explanation:

An infinitive phrase starts with an infinitive - "to" and the simple form of a verb. It also includes objects and or modifiers.

A gerund phrase includes a gerund plus any complements or modifiers, and it functions as a noun.

The infinitive is the basic form of a verb, that is, a form with no inflections - no changes due to a relationship with a subject. It usually comes preceded by "to".

A participle is a word formed from a verb. The present participle is formed by adding -ing to the verb stem, while the past participle of regular verbs is formed by the addition of -d, -ed, or -ied.

A gerund is a noun created by adding -ing to a verb root.

A participial phrase is constituted of a participle and its complements or modifiers. It functions as an adjective.

Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below: President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory. Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

Courage is a necessity to overcome fears and achieve a desired goal. Fear is something that exists in all of us. There is no hero or any particular courageous figure that is without fear. Being fearless is not required to be courageous, one simply has to look past or overcome their fears to possess this great quality. When overcoming fears and going against the norm, there are always risks involved. There are different types of risks that come about. Someone could risk life or limb, while others risk their reputation. Either risk is serious enough that a person must have courage to endure that particular risk. Courage can occur anytime, anywhere, and often in our everyday lives. Everyone will experience courage no matter how young,…show more content…

I did not do as I was told."(298) Even though it took some time, she eventually overcame her fear and her feelings of inferiority and stood up to Father Wilbur and the other white men. There are many risks involved when a person comes in contact with courage. A person's peers or the people close to them can be highly judgmental, especially if what you are doing clashes with common beliefs or behaviors. This stands very true when looking at the life of Martin Luther King Jr. His peers were not only the African American population, but also white upper-class clergymen. In the first line of Martin Luther King Junior's letter to the clergymen he states that he is "confined here in the Birmingham City Jail."(303) Dr. King took a great risk of being judged, solely by writing a letter to his peers. He knew that the clergymen already had their own ideas about him, but he took an even bigger risk by writing them from his jail cell. Another major risk that people take while being courageous is risking their life for the lives of others. In "And the Band Played On," Randy Shilts tells the story of a young female doctor, Grethe Rask, who risked her life because she worked in a clinic that didn't even provide the "basics [such] as sterile rubber gloves or disposable needles."(330) He goes on to describe even more horrifying details about
