I'll send somebody 60 dollars if they can write me an essay about the "landlady by Roald Dahl" LOOK IN THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU START WRITING!!
Answers
“The Landlady” is a short story by the lauded children’s author, Roald Dahl. Dahl is the author of many great, well-known works, such as The BFG, The Witches, Matilda, and perhaps most notably, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. “The Landlady” is a short story that truly exemplifies Dahl’s wonderful grasp of the short story genre, however. It is the story of a young man named Billy Weaver, who has been sent to live in Bath by his employer. The primary focus of young Billy at the beginning of the story is Billy’s attempt to find lodgings; he settles on a nice bed and breakfast near the train station. The landlady of Billy’s new lodgings is a nice, older woman, who seems grandmotherly to Billy, although there is something strange about the place that Billy cannot seem to grasp, and the landlady herself seems to be a little crazy. Billy suddenly realizes that he knows the names of the other guests in the guestbook; they are all men who have gone missing. At the end of the story, the landlady poisons Billy with potassium cyanide in his tea, with the implication that she is planning on stuffing him and keeping him as part of the house forever.
One of the major themes of Dahl’s “The Landlady” is the theme of how appearances can be deceiving. The story begins with Billy himself considering how he can appear to be a successful businessman; at the beginning of the story, Dahl writes of Billy: “He walked briskly down the street. He was trying to do everything briskly these days. Briskness, he had decided, was the one common characteristic of all successful businessmen. The big shots up at the head office were absolutely fantastically brisk all the time. They were amazing” (Dahl). Billy wants to appear to be a successful businessman, and his appearance is very important to him. However, the importance of appearances-- and the deceptive quality of appearances-- continues as a theme throughout the story. Initially, the landlady herself describes one of the older men as being twenty-eight, but not appearing to be so. These appearances are very important to the landlady herself, who turns out to be a serial killer, killing all the young men who stay in her house. The landlady only invites young, handsome men to stay, and she seems to have a preference for a certain type, which again refers to the theme of appearances and how important they are to the characters in the story. Dahl even describes the animals in the story as appearing to be alive, although they have all been stuffed:
“That parrot,” he said at last. “You know something? It had me completely fooled when I first saw it through the window. I could have sworn it was alive.”
“Alas, no longer.”
“It’s most terribly clever the way it’s been done,” he said. “It doesn’t look in the least bit dead. Who did it?”
“I did.”
“You did?”
“Of course,” she said. (Dahl)
This exchange is very important, because it is the first time that Billy begins to get a sense of just how ominous the landlady really is; although she appears to be a nice, harmless old lady, she is quite adept at the art of taxidermy, and is completely willing to stuff her pets as they pass away. She even seems willing to keep them posed as if they were still alive. This is the not the first instance of foreshadowing in the text, but it does reflect the growing tension in the story, and also finally gives the reader a sense that the landlady is, indeed, more than she seems to be. The landlady is initially described as a cheerful older woman, and it is this appearance that makes her eventual murder of Billy so masterfully creepy. The theme of deception and appearances also ties into the theme of naivete and youth; the landlady is able to lull Billy and her previous victims into a sense of false security. Indeed, Billy is young and strong, and if the landlady had attacked him, he would have been able to defend himself easily. However, he falls right into her trap as a result of her kindly demeanor, even though she clearly has anything but his best intentions at heart. Billy’s character is naive because he can see that the landlady is clearly not altogether sane; he even comments on her oddity at the beginning of the story. However, he still takes the tea from her, and finishes an entire cup even though he doesn’t like the tea and it tastes “faintly of bitter almonds” (Dahl). Even to the end of the story, Billy can’t place the names of the other boys who the landlady killed; he thinks he may be able to, but he allows the landlady’s demeanor to put him off what his instincts are telling him. The audience feels the inexorable movement towards Billy’s inevitable death, and it is frustrating and enthralling at the same time.

Write a speech to be delivered on your School speech and prize given day on issues affecting your community

Speech
Respected all,
A very good morning to all of you. First of all I would like to thank our Principal madam for giving us this opportunity to organize this event. I would also like to thank our teachers and staff for constantly supporting us and encouraging us.
Today I am going to speak a few words on the topic that is a huge concern to our community. I stay in the suburb of Park Street, where there are two small firms that manufacture goods. The management of the firms dump the waste and other hazardous materials near our place. It is a matter of concern and I am afraid that it leads to a number of disease that our locality has witnessed in recent times in the young children of the society.
The authorities are also silent about the matter. The local of our residence has raised this issue to the authorities but everything is in vain.
The dump yard is much polluted and lots of stray dogs and others birds come to that place and is spreading germs and disease to all over the places. So I along with some of my friends have decided to address this issue to the Mayor our city and would plead to take some strict action against them for polluting our beautiful locality and spreading disease.
With this I conclude my speech and thank you all once again.

Abstract: Human Inteligence
Embodied: Action of the Body
Explanation:
Abstract knowledge provides for the core of human intelligence. It is the knowledge that forms the "big picture" in abstraction from detail. It relies on rules and formulas rather than a mass of facts.
Embodied knowledge is a type of knowledge where the body knows how to act. One of the important features of this knowledge is that the body, not the mind, is the knowing subject.
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.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
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.

How does the text describe Polyphemus? How does he treat his guests, and how does this contrast with the treatment Odysseus received from King Alcinous?
Answers
Answer and Explanation:
The text describes Polyphemus as a giant, one-eyed, wild, violent and man-eater. Polyphemus is a Cyclops and does not treat guests kindly, but devours them in the most violent way possible. This contrasts it with the way Odysseus and the men who accompany him are treated by King Alcinous. That's because Alcinous is impressed with Odysseus and treats him in the best possible way, offering him dinner, riches and even the hand of his own daughter.
This question is about the book "The Odyssey" which shows Odysseus' attempts to return to Itaca, his birthplace.

Why do you suppose the author had Florence die before Antonio and Cico can tell him about the Golden Carp?
Answers
Answer:
The author did this to reinforce Florence's lack of faith and religiosity.
Explanation:
Although you have not presented the book this question refers to, we can assume, through the context of the question above, that you are referring to the book "Bless Me, Ultima" which tells the story of how Antonio Marez, a Mexican boy, raised in an extremely Catholic home, struggles to discover his identity and religiosity, even in the midst of a strong family influence.
Within this story, when Antonio and Cico find a golden carp and decide to show it to Florence, they aim to show Florence a god who is not vindictive and punitive, as they see the golden carp as a deity. Meanwhile Florence drowns before Antonio and Cico tell him about the golden carp. The author decides to do this, to highlight Florence's lack of faith and religion, showing that the golden carp would make no difference to him.
