Title of short story The Golden Touch

Author  Nathaniel Hawthorne

The play takes place in the ancient Greek city of Pessinus, the capital of Phrygia. King Midas was a kind man, but he did not have very good judgement. One day, Midas was generous to Silenus, a satyr, and so Dionysus granted him one wish. Dionysus, like all Greek gods, liked to teach mortals lessons.

King Midas: Who are you, stranger?

As i have picked the novel The Golden Touch and the Author Nathaniel Hawthorne and the play takes place in the ancient Greek city of Pessinus.

Who is King Midas?

King Midas was the kind man, but he did not have very good judgement. One day, Midas was generous to Silenus, a satyr, and so Dionysus granted him one wish. Dionysus, like all Greek gods, liked to teach mortals lessons.

Cupid develops feelings for Psyche as well. Her parents consult the oracle of Apollo because they are worried about Psyche's lack of suitors. A betrayal is the root of the myth of Cupid and Psyche's main conflict.

Psyche breaks her trust when her sisters prod her into thinking that her husband is actually an ugly monster, despite Cupid's request that she not view his godlike form as a test of her faith in him. Psyche and Cupid's is among the most stunning of all. It is a love narrative with a happy ending, in contrast to the majority of ancient legends.

Therefore, the myth has had a significant impact on modern romantic literature and even modern ideas about what love is.

brainstorm ways that WWII was life-changing for German and Jewish families based on the evidence that you found in this novel. Write the effects of WWII on the families in the eight boxes below. (There are no pictures included btw)

Answers

There are no photos or boxes but I can give an opinion on this subject.

In a way families were brought closer together after this event in history. After WWII lots of families were rescued and back together. But of curse this brought trauma to lots of people (not just families). I've heard stories in class about regret from German families, imagning if it were their families being hurt and ripped apart.

I'd like to make a connection to the movie, "boy in the stripped pyjamas", SPOILERS. At the end of the movie, the german family had a taste of what it felt like to be jews, at the time. i've always wondered how they felt afterwards knowing that this is what they were doing to Jewish families.

In conclusion, Jewish families were being seperated but those who survived were brought closer together. And German families either realized what they did and/or supported ki11ed millions, or they continued to belive in h1tlers ways.

HELPPPP! can someone give me a summary of Ponyboy from the outsiders?

Answers

Here you go, MARK ME BRAINEST

Explanation:

Ponyboy Curtis is a 14-year-old boy whose world has been turned upside down. His parents were killed in an automobile accident just eight months before The Outsiders story takes place.

A truck was carrying a substance in a tank. The molecules of that substance were moving away from each other. The truck parked overnight in a place where energy transferred out of the substance . In the morning . the substance was a gas. How were the molecules moving in the morning ?

Answers

Answer:

In the morning the molecules were moving away from each other with a smaller speed than when the truck was carrying the substance.

2. The reason is that the molecules contain less average kinetic energy, thus their average speed is lower.

Explanation:

Our model of the state (phases) of the substances describes the molecules of solids as not moving away from each other, they are relatively fixed with respect to each other, just vibrating; the molecules of liquids as free to slide pass each other, which permits they to flow, but not moving away from each other; and the the molecules of the gases as moving away from each other, which is the cause of them occupying the whole space of the container that holds them.

According to that, the substance that the truck was carryng was a gas, because the molecules were moving away from each other.

After parking overnight, where energy transferred out of the substance, in the morning, the substance was a gas. Hence, the molecules were moving away from each other too. This answer the first question.

Since energy was transferred out of the substance, in the morning the temperature of the substance decreased (but no enough to make it a liquid). The average kinetic energy of the gases depends only on the temperature. So, the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the morning was smaller than when the truck was carrying the substance. Since the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed of the molecules, the smaller average kinetic energy means that the average speed of the molecules was smaller too. Hence, in the morning the molecules were moving away from each other with a lower speed than when the truck was carrying the substance.

what's the theme of the story "the ingredients" by jason reynolds

Answers

Answer:

Theme

Explanation:

In Long Way Down, Will is on his way to follow the Rules of his neighborhood and take revenge for the death of his brother. The short story, "The Ingredients" by Jason Reynolds is a great alternative to the irony found in "The Gift of the Magi." Another theme in Long Way Down is the theme of choice.

The theme of the story seems to be about what being black is like, growing up for a black kid.

A theme of a story is the central idea or message that is relayed in the story. Themes can differ from one story to another, depending on the author and purpose.

Jason Reynolds' short story "The Ingredients" revolves around four teenage boys and their 'imaginary recipe' for the perfect sandwich. The story is a perfect narration of irony and how it plays a surprise twist to the lives of these four boys. The four boys- Jamal, Flaco, Big Boy, and Randy from Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn are looking to cool themselves from the summer heat. And while coming back from the "Kosciuszko Pool", they began talking about the best sandwiches that they want to eat. With the hunger in their stomachs growing, they passed the time talking about what would make the best combination for sandwiches. The major theme in this story is how their desired life is far from the reality they're in. The story's theme of being black and what it means to the young boys is evident in their desire to eat what they want as compared to what they actually get in the end.

Themes of various elements are found in different texts. Jason Reynolds' story focuses on the theme of being black, growing up as a black boy in the Brooklyn town of Bed-Stuy.

In the second paragraph, Morrie's dancing alone is a sign of his:

A. loneliness.

B. individuality.

C. introversion.

D. abnormality.

Paragraph: He had always been a dancer, my old professor. The music didn’t matter. Rock and roll, big band, the blues. He loved them all. He would close his eyes and with a blissful smile begin to move to his own sense of rhythm. It wasn’t always pretty. But then, he didn’t worry about a partner. Morrie danced by himself.

Answers

the answer would be C. (introversion)

In the second paragraph, Morrie's dancing alone is a sign of his introversion. The correct option is C. Morrie's appreciation of dance is closely related to how he views freedom. As Mitch says of him at the Wednesday dance nights in Harvard Square, dance is a way for him to break free from a culture he doesn't find useful.

What is the message of dancing?

Basic goals: physical release and self-expression. The expression and transmission of emotion are one of dance's most fundamental purposes. Dance is a common way for people—and some animals—to express strong emotions like sudden bursts of ecstasy, joy, impatience, or rage.

Morrie enjoyed dancing a lot. He frequented a church hall near Harvard Square for many years where everyone was welcome to dance however they wanted and with whomever, they wanted once a week while music was blasted. By himself, Morrie danced.

Thus, the ideal selection is option C.
