Compare Zaroff’s and Rainsford’s point of view on the hunt. How does this tension contribute to the moral stakes of the story?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Zaroff and Rainsford are characters in Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game". The whole story revolves around what is moral and what is not, as well as the characters' ability to empathize with others.

It is interesting to notice that Rainsford and Zaroff are more similar than they are different. They are both skilled hunters who also happen to be quite arrogant about their profession. Both fail to empathize with their prey. However, this is where the difference begins and ends. Rainsford hunts wild animals. He does not think of a jaguar's feelings when he fires his gun to kill it.

Zaroff, on the other hand, hunts men. He knows very well he is hunting rational beings like himself. But he does not care. He sees the men he hunts as inferior to him, just like Rainsford sees the animals as mere huntees. Yet, Rainsford is incapable of condoning with Zaroff's behavior and perception. To Rainsford, what Zaroff does is pure muder.

This tension and the conflict this difference generates are what advances the plot. Both hunters have similar views, only one of them has taken it to the next level. Is only Zaroff wrong? Are both of them murderers? Is Rainsford a better men simply because he has a different sense of moral when it comes to other human beings, but no moral when it comes to animals? Thus, the moral stakes of the story make us wonder and question the characters.

Read this excerpt from The Outsiders.
What universal theme is present in this excerpt?
Then there were shouts and the pounding of feet, and the
Socs jumped up and left me lying there, gasping. I lay
there and wondered what in the world was happening
people were jumping over me and running by me and I
was too dazed to figure it out. Then someone had me
under the armpits and was hauling me to my feet. It was
Darry.
O Losing hope means losing a battle.
O Fitting in is important while growing up.
O Challenging times bring families together.
O A positive attitude can overcome anything.
"Are you all right, Ponyboy?"
He was shaking me and I wished he'd stop. I was dizzy
enough anyway. I could tell it was Darry though—partly
because of the voice and partly because Darry's always
rough with me without meaning to be.

The answer would be “ Challenging times bring families together.”

Explanation:

can some one give me a summary thats a paragraph long about friendship

Answers

Answer:Introduction:

Friendship is considered as one of the treasures that anyone can possess. God has given us the liberty to choose friends because they are for our lifetime. It is quite normal for our parents and siblings to love us because they are our own blood but a friend is someone who is initially a stranger and then takes his/her place above all the other relations. Friendship is nothing but pure love without any expectations.

Role of a Friend:

True friends share and support each other even during the toughest of times. A true friend is one who feels happy for our success, who feel sad for our failures, fight with us for silly things and hugs us the next second, gets angry on us when we do any mistakes. Friendship is all about having true friends who can understand us without the need for us to speak.

Conclusion:

Friendship is very essential for a happy life. Even a two-minute chat with a friend will make us forget our worries. That is the strength of friendship.

Different birds use different building designs: they can be huge or tiny,

step in the nest-building process. They line the inside of the nest with

Once eggs are laid in a nest, the parent birds will spend hour after hour
sitting on them to keep them warm and safe. They need that nice soft
lining for their own comfort.
This is probably the origin of the phrase "feather one's nest.” It means to
do something now that will provide for your own comfort later on.

What does the liquor store represent for Walter Lee? Support your answer with at least
two pieces of evidence from the text.

Answers

Answer:

The liquor store represents Lee's power to be his own boss.

Explanation:

Walter Lee is the 'Brother' in the play 'A Raisin In the Sun' written by Lorraine Hansberry. Lee is the only grown-up male, after his father, in the Younger's family.

Lee aspires to open a liquor store from the insurance money of his father's.

The play can be seen as a struggle of a black poor family, who struggles to gain economic status in the society through the insurance money which amounts $10,000.

For Lee, opening a liquor store from this amount, mean to gain power in society to be his own boss and to provide for his family. For him, this store represented economic and social status. This store also represents his dream of 'taking hold of the world and a chance to change his life.'

Textual Evidence:

'WALTER (Straightening up from her and looking off) That’s  it. There you are. Man say to his woman: I got me a  dream. His woman say: Eat your eggs. (Sadly, but  gaining in power) Man say: I got to take hold of this here  world, baby! And a woman will say: Eat your eggs and go  to work. (Passionately now) Man say: I got to change my  life, I’m choking to death, baby! And his woman say—(In  utter anguish as he brings his fists down on his thighs) —Your eggs is getting cold!'

Another evidence from the play, which represents his desire of gaining social status is when he says to his wife that the stories that he got to tell to his  son is just 'how rich white people live.' This also asserts that he just do not want to tell tales of rich white people to his son but also wants to give his son that desirable life, as of rich white people.

' and all I got to give him is stories about  how rich white people live …'

Beatrice, a middle school student, is visiting a very tall office building and notices that she feels heavier when the elevator car is traveling up and lighter when the elevator car is travelling down. After making these observations, Beatrice comes back to the building and stands on a bathroom scale that measures her weight as she travels up and down in the elevator. What is one variable Beatrice could change in her investigation? What might she figure out if this variable were changed?

Answers

Answer:

Beatrice could change the independent variable

Explanation:

Beatrice wants to assess the influence of a lift's movement on her body weight. In this experiment, we can say that Beatrice's independent variable is the movement of the elevator, while the dependent variable is her body weight.

As you may already know, the independent variable is the one that can be measured and that influences a result to happen, while the dependent variable is the one that is influenced for a result to happen.

If Beatrice modified the independent variable, she could have a better result in her experiment. This is because the "elevator movement" is a very vague concept which leaves your experiment imprecise, since this variable cannot be quantified. It could then change this variable to "the elevator's speed" or "the elevator's rise and fall time".

Identify Franklin’s purpose for writing this speech and analyze his language, especially word choice and sentence structure to explain his tone and point of view about the Constitution. Then, explain how the language and reasoning of the speech contribute to its power and persuasiveness.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you did not mention what speech you are referring to, we assume that is the speech that Franklin delivered during the Constitutional Convention. If this is the case, then the answer is the following.

Franklin’s purpose for writing this speech was to express his feelings about the ideas portrayed in the Constitution. The language he used was carefully chosen by Franklin. He was an intellectual, a man of the US Enlightenment that knew very well what he wanted to convey with his ideas. His tone is firm, direct, backed with the proper arguments to support his feelings. He insisted on the idea that people´s opinions were what count. The will of people.

Benjamin Franklin was so capable to include the kind of language to make people think and the "ethos" factor to move to reflection and convince. His speech was powerful and persuasive to the degree that today is still a good speech to have it for reference.

During the Constitutional Convention held in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the summer of 1787, the delegates debated and argued about the new form of government needed for the United States.

You forgot to mention that this question is about Franklin's speech at the Constitutional Convention.

Answer and Explanation:

Franklin's purpose with this speech was to show that changes in the articles of the confederation may seem controversial to some people, including himself, but that does not mean that these changes should not be supported and that these changes must be accepted by all, because they are the result of the thinking of many wise men who have the same objective, to care for and establish a strong and efficient country.

For that, he used simple and direct words, but formal and respectful and persuasive, used a serious but friendly tone and showed his point of view on the creation of the constitution. For him the constitution is beneficial, even if it presents points that may not cover everyone's will.

I believe its both. For example, if you read through books, depending on what type of book it is, you'll get something different out of it, When it comes to fictional books or when you read to unwind, the experiences you go through while reading it can make a big impact. Otherwise, if you're reading a personal development book, applying the lessons you learn in it is equally beneficial. Knowlegde can be learning how to deal with different people and believe it or not, I think that is something you can learn while reading almost anything.
