What is the theme for this passage? Provide an example from the story

once there was a mean little boy who lived in a small village. This mean little boy loved to mess with people, so one day he ran up to a sheep herder and shouted, “WOLF! WOLF! A wolf is attacking the town!” The sheep herder grabbed his staff and ran to defend the town, but realized he had been fooled when the boy started pointing and laughing at him. “Ha ha! I made you jump,” said the boy. Then the boy ran up to a farmer and shouted, “WOLF! WOLF! A wolf is attacking the town!” The farmer grabbed his pitchfork and ran to defend the town, but when the boy started pointing and laughing at him, he realized he had been tricked. As the boy went back to his family’s farm laughing about the funny trick he played, he saw a real wolf in his father’s chicken coop. As the wolf ate all of his father’s chickens, the boy screamed over and over again, “WOLF! WOLF! Please help us!” But nobody came to help him..

iknow that you figure it out this question

Stage Set: Near a football stadium. The stage lights up to reveal a big hole in the middle. The audience can hear the sounds of thunder and see glimpses of lightning. Carlos and Dante enter from the stage right.


CARLOS: Well, I am glad we talked.

DANTE: Definitely, pal.

CARLOS: I mean—we all know you are the best out there. Who was I kidding asking coach to give me your spot?

DANTE: Hey, you are as good as me, pal.

CARLOS: Nah. Everyone must know their place. I do appreciate your taking it coolly, buddy.

DANTE: Hey, we are friends. We get through differences. Alright. I have to get some sleep for the big game. Adios! (walks in the direction of the hole)


Which of these is true about this play?

Answers

Answer:

A. The knowledge that only the audience has creates suspense.

Explanation:

In the stage direction, we, the audience are told or shown there's a huge hole in the middle of the stage. This is not known by the two characters Carlos and Dante.

So, after Dante bids "Adios!" to Carlos and moves towards the hole, there is suspense in that there is a hole in the direction of his way. And we, the readers, have a feeling that danger is there which Carlos nor Dante knows about. The knowledge that only the readers know creates suspense in the play.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

In Ch. 11., Darry tells Randy that Pony is "still pretty racked up mentally and emotionally." What evidence in the text supports Darry's statement?​

Answers

Answer:

Ponyboy blaming himself for the death of Bob instead of Johnny who caused the death is evidence that Ponyboy was "still pretty racked up mentally and emotionally."

Explanation:

The book, The Outsiders tells the tale of three brothers who were part of a gang named, The Greasers. The Greasers always got into a fight with another gang, the Socs. It was on one of such fighters where Johnny and Ponyboy were attacked by Randy, Bob, and some other Socs that Johnny stabbed Bob to death in defense of Ponyboy.

While in bed recuperating, after their attempt at helping students in the burning church building, Ponyboy who is affected by the whole event tells his brother Darry in the presence of Randy that he killed Bob. He was apparently living in a state of denial of the events that had just occurred. This points to the fact that Pony was "still racked up mentally and emotionally."

Why does Wiesel use quotation marks around the word “normal” on page 11? What impact does this punctuation have on the reader’s understanding of the passage?

Answers

Answer: He's being sarcastic or ironic

Explanation:

Seems

Wiesel puts quotation marks around the word "normal" to emphasise that things were not as they seemed. Because it appears to be a satirical "normal" rather than a true one, the quotations make readers feel uneasy and nervous.

Who is Elie Wiesel, and where did he come from?

Elie Wiesel was a Holocaust survivor and a Romanian-born American writer, lecturer, political activist, and Nobel laureate.

What is the subject of the novel "Night"?

Night is widely regarded as one of the most important memoirs of the twentieth century. The text, written by Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel, recalls the author's experiences as an adolescent in a Nazi concentration camp.Night was published in 1960 and is based on his experiences with his father in the Nazi German death camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944–1945, near the conclusion of World War II in Europe.In just over 100 pages of sparse and fragmented narrative, Wiesel writes about the death of God and his growing disgust with humanity in just over 100 pages of sparse and fragmented narrative, which is reflected in the inversion of the parent–child relationship as his father deteriorates to a helpless state and Wiesel becomes his resentful, teenage caregiver.On page 11, he uses quote marks around the word "normal" to give it a caustic and sardonic sense. Things were changing, according to the question, and relatives were being evicted from their houses, as he relates on page 11 of his book.

Therefore, Wiesel puts quotation marks around the word "normal" to emphasise that things were not as they seemed. Because it appears to be a satirical "normal" rather than a true one, the quotations make readers feel uneasy and nervous. 'Night' was published in 1960 and is based on his experiences with his father in the Nazi German death camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944–1945, near the conclusion of World War II in Europe.

Standing beside clean doorways,
Friendly to a house-cat and a pair of spectacles,
Making poetry out of a bit of moonlight
And a hundred or two sharp blossoms.

Answers

Answer: b

Explanation: I did the test

Answer:

B. free verse

Explanation:

Open form, also referred to as free verse, does not follow a fixed pattern of rhyme, rhythm, or line length. It allows the poet flexibility in how the poem is composed.

Other Answers:

Lyric, narrative, and descriptive are all poetic styles, so when it comes to this question, options C, D, and E can be eliminated because it is asking for the form.

The lyric style expresses the speaker's feelings (ex: odes, elegies, sonnets).The narrative style tells a story and includes elements of plot, such as exposition, climax, and resolution (ex: epics, ballads).The descriptive style describes the subject of the poem in detail and follows a narrative.

Blank verse is another poetic form and is written in non-rhyming lines of iambic pentameter. This answer does not apply to the poem.

Explanation:

In "Warriors Don't Cry" Melba Patillo Beals narrates the true story of the group known as the Little Rock Nine. Beals and the other eight African Americans part of the group were the first black people to attend Little Rock High School, in Arkansas.

This particular excerpt from the story has the purpose of presenting Beals's personal recollections to readers. Notice how she focuses on how she felt, on how the whole experience was new and impressive to her. Even though the book itself speaks of injustice and the importance of activism, this passage concerns Beals's personal experiences, feelings, and thoughts - "My heart raced with fear and anticipation as I observed the process. I was almost hypnotized by the wonder of it all." Therefore, the best answer is letter A. to describe her personal recollections to readers.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

I went north—I did not try to hide myself. When a god or a demon saw me, then I would die, but meanwhile I was no longer afraid. My hunger for knowledge burned in me—there was so much that I could not understand. After a while, I knew that my belly was hungry. I could have hunted for my meat, but I did not hunt. It is known that the gods did not hunt as we do—they got their food from enchanted boxes and jars. Sometimes these are still found in the Dead Places—once, when I was a child and foolish, I opened such a jar and tasted it and found the food sweet. But my father found out and punished me for it strictly, for, often, that food is death. Now, though, I had long gone past what was forbidden, and I entered the likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.

Which sentence from the passage supports the theme that breaking the rules may be necessary for growth?

“When a god or a demon saw me, then I would die, but meanwhile I was no longer afraid.”
“My hunger for knowledge burned in me—there was so much that I could not understand.”
“But my father found out and punished me for it strictly, for, often, that food is death.”
“I had long gone past what was forbidden, and I entered the likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.”

Answers

The sentence that shows that breaking the rules might be necessary for growth is;

“I had long gone past what was forbidden, and I entered the likeliest towers, looking for the food of the gods.”

In this passage, the writer recalls how he was punished by his father when he ate from the forbidden things in the temple.

Now, that he had grown past being punished by his father for breaking the rules, he was able to assess the "likeliest" towers and even search for the gods' food.

This shows that sometimes it might be necessary to break the status quo if we will achieve great things. A good example of this is found in the movement termed, Civil Disobedience.

This is a process whereby people break laws in a manner that is free from violence to register their complaints about something that is wrong with a government.

Their disobedience is for the greater good, and without it, they might not achieve breakthroughs.

Proper nouns name of specific people, places, things, or ideas. For example, Jupiter, which is a specific planet, is a proper noun. Unlike common nouns, proper nouns are always be capitalized.

Answer:Most Americans believe that a rising tide should lift all boats—that as the economy expands, everybody should reap the rewards. And for two-and-a-half decades beginning in the late 1940s, this was how our economy worked. Over this period, the pay (wages and benefits) of typical workers rose in tandem with productivity (how much workers produce per hour). In other words, as the economy became more efficient and expanded, everyday Americans benefited correspondingly through better pay. But in the 1970s, this started to change.
