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.

The first paragraph creates which of these moods for the passage? (5 points)

How does homework help you learn?
(In high school format or in your own words please)

Answers

Homework is a key factor in education because it can help us to better understand the work we are doing. Doing homework everyday, or even just a few days a week, is good practice on any information we are learning in school. The more we do it and practice it, the better we will be at it.

Homework helps to reinforce learning and develop good study habits and life skills. Everyone knows that practice makes perfect. Students typically retain only 50% of the information teachers provide in class, and they need to apply that information in order to truly learn it.

Review friar Lawrence's soliloquy in act 2 scene iii of Romeo and juilet. Which statements about friar Lawrence's

Answers

Hi. This question is incomplete. The complete question should be "Which statements about Friar Laurence's soliloquy are true?" So I hope this answer helps you.

Answer:

The true statements are Friar's advice on how to cook using herbs, advice on how to use herbs, and descriptions of his role as a Friar.

Explanation:

Friar Laurence's soliloquy to which this question refers is the moment where Friar describes to the public about the coexistence of good and evil. In this soliloquy he presents several references about herbs and medicinal plants and how to use them to cure diseases, flavor foods and do beneficial things. But Friar also claims that if these herbs are misused, the results will be catastrophic, and many of these herbs are poisonous. He further talks about his role as a Friar and poses as a tutor to Romeo. All this talk about herbs and their use is a metaphor for love.

In poetry, the theme is often suggested with symbols.


In plays, the characters never reveal the theme.

What is Jacoby referring to when she identifies society's, "general desire to shift responsibility from individuals to institutions?"

Answers

Answer:

He is referring to people who reject a responsibility that is theirs.

Explanation:

Through the context of your question, we can see that you are referring to the article "Hers" written by Jacoby, where he reflects on censorship, feminism, obscenity and p0r.n0g*4p** within a society. For Jacoby, the censorship of works with content considered obscene and p0r.n0g*4p*c is an insult to the first constitutional amendment, since for him these works represent the freedom of expression that is allowed within the country. Within this context, he states that it is not the State's duty to carry out this type of censorship, but that each citizen must decide whether or not he wants to consume this type of content, when he is of the right age to make that decision.

Although in the article, he agrees that children should not have access to such works, he says that it is the duty of parents to prevent children from having access to works with obscene content and not the duty of the government. In this case, children cannot be used as an argument to defend p0r.n0g*4p** censorship, except by people who reject their responsibility because of the general desire to transfer that responsibility to institutions.

Your sister has gained admission in to your former s chool.Write a letter giving her information about the school and advise her on how to behave well while in the school.

Answers

Answer:

Dear sister,

I hope you are doing well. Mum told me that you were admitted into my former school congratulations! Let me give you some helpful advice to have the best experience possible and the best grades.

You should always pay attention in class and not speak with your classmates, especially during Math class with Mr. Jenssen. He is a strict teacher who will give you extra homework if you misbehave during his lessons. On the other hand, he is a good teacher who is always willing to help when you struggle with the given tasks.

The school has a strict dressing code. Be sure to wear the appropriate attire. Do not wear short skirts or short t-shirts since teachers will send you to detention, and what is more, you will have to wear gym clothes for the rest of the day.

The school is one of the best in our state. You must study hard to pass all your exams. Also, there are many different clubs that you can join. I know that you like reading, the school has a literature club where they discuss new books every week, you should become a member since I'm sure that you will make a lot of friends with the same interests as you.

I have to go now, but I hope that you find this information helpful. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any doubts or need advice.

All the best.

Susan.
