How do you imagine the other characters (not Prospero) in The Tempest? Pick your favorite character and spend 45 seconds describing your interpretation of that character.

Answers

Answer:

The chosen character is Miranda.

Explanation:

Miranda is a character that surprised me and made me like her very much. That's because she is a girl without any experience, naive and completely isolated from the world, which makes her a very easy target for profiteers, but Miranda positions herself and shows herself to be a very strong character when Caliban tries to abuse her. Despite little experience she does not allow to be treated with disrespect and is a focused and determined girl.


Please hurry Which of the following best describes the effect the poem's repetition has on its tone?
-A The poem repeats certain phrase structures to strengthen its persuasive tone,
-B The poem repeatedly refers to the colonized people as "heathen" or "children,"
thus contributing to the snobby tone.
-C The poem repeats the phrase "Take up the White Man's burden" and therefore
makes the tone seem bossy and argumentative.
-D The poem repeats the phrase "Take up the White Man's burden" as a sort of call
to action, thus contributing to the encouraging, prideful tone,

Answers

Answer:

-D. The poem repeats the phrase "Take up the White Man's burden" as a sort of call  to action, thus contributing to the encouraging, prideful tone.

Explanation:

Rudyard Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden" was written after the Spanish-American War where the US acquired the Philippines. This poem was a sort of call for the "white man", i.e. America, to go and "civilize" the natives, in this case, the people in the Philippines.

Kipling believes that it is up to the American people to go and 'civilize' the other inferior people, just like the British had done to the colonies in America. He repeatedly used the phrase "Take up the White Man's burden" to encourage and call the US to do the job of 'helping' these people. This repetition contributes to encouraging them in doing the 'good deed' but it also contains a prideful tone in that it deemed itself (the US? Americans) as more superior to the newly acquired island.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective."

Diane stood in front of a mirror and stuck out her tongue. It looked like a rosy pink welcome mat to her delicate insides. Her usual rubber mold formula was out of the question—too toxic. She wondered, What is safe to swallow, fast and easy to apply, and hardens quickly into a firm mold?

One of her horse-riding pals, a veterinarian named Mary Wright, had the answer: alginate. Mary told Diane that alginate was a pink gummy material used to make molds of teeth. If it was safe for pets, it should be safe for a tiger.

And people, too, Diane thought.

At her lab, she mixed the alginate powder with water to form a paste. Standing in front of a mirror, she scooped up a blob and spread it on her tongue. She pressed it down with her fingers to get out any air bubbles. Not bad, she thought. Tastes just like spearmint. She decided to make an extra-thick mold to make it easier to peel off. So, she added another gloopy blog—and another.

With her thickened tongue hanging out, Diane padded around the lab doing odds and ends while the material set. After about 10 minutes, she peeled off the alginate slowly and carefully. It was fragile—bendable and easy to tear—but it made an excellent impression of her tongue.

Which action in the excerpt illustrates that Diane is dedicated to her work?
A. She makes a mold of her own tongue.
B. She performs odd jobs around the lab.
C. She stands in front of the mirror.
D. She goes horseback riding with a friend.

"Self Reliance,"by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Excerpts from Summer on the Lakes in 1843Margaret Fuller
"Song of Myself,"by Walt Whitman

Answers

Answer:

Nature is a common Transcendentalist theme that is presented in "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman.

Explanation:

Nature is a common theme in many English pieces, but it is a deeper theme when it's looked at in a transcendental theme. Before we can talk about this transcendental theme I found in "Song of Myself", what are some other examples of transcendental themes? There are five elements of transcendentalism, which are nonconformity, self-reliance, free thought, confidence, and nature. In my opinion, I found it in my best nature to choose, well, nature, because everyone writes about nature, but in this case, it's a special theme because the nature theme is deeper than normal. It brings a different feeling than it normally does. I found this theme not only in "Song of Myself", but also in a few songs that people still listen to today. An example is "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles. The reason is that the song not only sings about the sun, but it also sings about the snow and ice clearing because the sun finally arriving. "Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting; Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear."

Not only that, but the way it's presented is in a transcendental manner. The theme of nature is also present in the poem "Song of Myself, written by Walt Whitman. One of quite a few examples includes, "I bequeathe myself to the dirt, to grow from the grass I love;". He also talks about animals such as birds and hawks. Even the seasons themselves are mentioned as nature, even though each season isn't mentioned one by one. Transcendental themes are themes that are deeply discussed, and the five elements from earlier can be discussed that way. Transcendentalism brings a different feeling than other themes tend to, and so, in conclusion, nature is not only a common theme in songs and common pieces but in transcendental pieces as well.
