A conflict in "Like the Sun" is that the protagonist, Sekhar, does not want to hurt people’s feelings even though he is resolved to tell the truth in all situations.


What evidence from the text highlights this conflict?


Select all that apply.


Like the Sun


a. Sekhar’s taste in music was well known. He was one of the most dreaded music critics in the town.

b. Sekhar felt greatest pity for him. But he felt he could not help it. No judge delivering a sentence felt more pained and helpless.

c. This day [Sekhar] set apart as a unique day – at least one day in a year we must give and take absolute Truth whatever may happen.

d. Two casualties for today, Sekhar said to himself. If I practice it for a week, I don’t think I shall have a single friend left.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The evidence that highlights this conflict is:

b. Sekhar felt greatest pity for him. But he felt he could not help it. No judge delivering a sentence felt more pained and helpless.

d. Two casualties for today, Sekhar said to himself. If I practice it for a week, I don’t think I shall have a single friend left.

Explanation:

As was stated in the question, the conflict in "Like the Sun", by R. K. Narayan, is the fact that Sekhar does not want to hurt people's feelings, but he has decided to tell only the truth for a whole day. Therefore, he knows very well he will end up hurting others. He sticks to his plan and only says what he truly thinks. However, that does not happen without discomfort or pain. He feels for the others, he knows he is insulting them.

The headmaster of the school where Sekhar teaches becomes vindictive after being told his pursuit of music should not go on. Sekhar makes it very clear that he is a terrible singer, but does so with great pain:

Sekhar felt greatest pity for him. But he felt he could not help it. No judge delivering a sentence felt more pained and helpless.

Upon arriving home, Sekhar's wife is sullen after having been told her food tasted bad in the morning. Sekhar confirms what he already had predicted - that telling the truth brings problems in social life since people do not really want to hear it:

Two casualties for today, Sekhar said to himself. If I practice it for a week, I don’t think I shall have a single friend left.

To him, facing the truth is like staring at the sun: no one can really do it.

Which linear inequality is graphed with y> -x-2 to create
the given solution set?
y>x+1
y y>X-1
y

Answers

Answer:

The linear inequality graphed is [tex]y < x +1[/tex]

Explanation:

We will have to get the equation of the second line for us to be able to answer the question properly.

The equation of the line is given by making use of the two points ( 3, 4 ) and  (1, 2)

we now have the x and y coordinates which we can use to set up the equation

[tex]\frac{y-y1}{x-x1} = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-4}{x-3}= \frac{2-4}{1 - 3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-4}{x-3}=1[/tex]

[tex]y=1x+1[/tex]

because the direction of the shade is pointing below, we would need to know that the solution to the equation lies in a region that is less than the value of y.

This can be [tex]y < x +1[/tex]

Answer:

d)  y < x + 1

The Polynesian people are considered to be descendants of the seafaring Austronesian people who themselves originated in the Malaysian region of Southeast Asia. Polynesia is a sub-region of Oceania, located just northeast of Australia and New Zealand. Although Polynesia is composed of over 1,000 islands, the people living on those islands share a similar culture, language, and ethnicity. Over 6,000 years ago, sailors and their families took to the seas in search of more lands. They scattered across the islands of the South Pacific. The process these people used to navigate is yet unknown to anthropologists. Samoa and Tonga are both American protectorates located in Polynesia; Hawaii is also located there.

the painting, and why the other is less powerful. Use specific details from the poem and the painting to

support your arguments. (15 points)

Answers

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

Bruegel depended upon himself and developed new ways which can be used to interpret ancient myths in a way that was didactic. Bruegel's paintings became an inspiration for artists which later came. Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus undermined the genre of landscape painting.

Bruegel’s primary strength was defining artistic modernism at a time when only few were aware of it. The poem Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus written by William Carlos was a mere summary. For example, the first stanza was just a recap of the painting’s inner season by using shallow language.

I believe Brueghel's painting is more subtle, original and therefore, creates an emotional response that is more powerful in the reader or viewer.

How does Alcoholics Anonymous help people deal with alcoholism?

Answers

El consumo de alcohol es un fenómeno socialmente aceptado que de hecho forma parte desde la antigüedad de una gran cantidad de culturas. Sin embargo, muchas personas realizan un consumo de alcohol excesivo y muy prolongado a lo largo del tiempo y terminan adquiriendo dependencia a esta sustancia: estamos hablando de dependencia al alcohol o alcoholismo.

Esta situación tiene graves repercusiones para el sujeto, pudiendo generar graves problemas de salud o incluso llevar a la muerte. Se trata de algo dramático que muchas familias observan en uno de sus miembros, no sabiendo cómo actuar. ¿Cómo ayudar a un alcohólico? En este artículo vamos a discutir una serie de pautas generales que familiares y amigos pueden encontrar relevantes y útiles de cara a abordar el tema.

Artículo relacionado: "Alcoholismo: estos son los efectos de la dependencia a la bebida"

Rememorando conceptos: ¿qué es el alcoholismo?

Se considera alcoholismo la adicción al alcohol, es decir, la adquisición de dependencia tanto física como psicológica al consumo de bebidas espirituosas que se genera debido a la adquisición de tolerancia hacia su consumo. El organismo necesita mayores cantidades de sustancia para notar los mismos efectos, a la vez que su ausencia genera potentes síntomas propias de un síndrome de abstinencia, como ahora disforia, agitación, convulsiones y otros tipos de alteración. Se consume de tal manera que se invierte una gran cantidad de tiempo en conseguir alcohol o se descuidan o deterioran otras actividades o ámbitos vitales relevantes.

Estamos ante una situación en el que el sujeto pierde el control ante el consumo, siendo este mucho mayor de lo que se pretendería y llevándose a cabo a pesar del conocimiento de posibles consecuencias aversivas tanto para él como para su entorno. Sin embargo es frecuente que exista un deseo de cesar el consumo y pueden haberse hecho uno o varios intentos al respecto (infructuosos). A pesar de ello, suelen negar la existencia de una dependencia.

El consumo descontrolado y frecuente de alcohol puede acarrear consecuencias dramáticas, pudiendo generar cirrosis hepática, hígado graso o incluso disfunciones renales. Los daños sobre estos órganos pueden ser irreversibles y llevar a la necesidad de un transplante o incluso a la muerte por la destrucción de dichos tejidos. El alcohólico se intoxica con frecuencia, siendo habitual la presencia de lagunas y pérdidas de consciencia. En algunos casos el sujeto puede llegar al coma etílico o incluso a la muerte por paro cardiorespiratorio.

El comportamiento también se altera, pudiendo ir desde la agresividad hasta la pasividad extrema, y no es poco habitual que se realicen conductas de riesgo en estado de ebriedad. Socialmente pueden sufrir el abandono de su entorno o generar gran sufrimiento a aquellos que les rodean.

Answer:

How does Alcoholics Anonymous help people deal with alcoholism?

C. It focuses on alcoholism as a physical disease, instead of a mental problem that can be cured with the right treatment.

Which evidence from the text best supports the central idea that the lasting effects of injustice are not easy to correct? “a national liberation proclamation” “the execution was an external event” “The First Amendment right to free speech” “still living in the dictatorship inside their own heads”

Answers

Answer:

“still living in the dictatorship inside their own heads”

The evidence from the text best supports the central idea that the lasting effects of injustice are not easy to correct is “still living in the dictatorship inside their own heads”. Thus the correct option is D.

What is the evidence?

Evidence is referred to as proof based on factual information which helps to validate the occurrence of teh event. it helps to determine whether the action took place or not by providing credentials.

The dictator destroys the freedoms of people and prevents any other rival groups from running against him in elections. The implications of injustice have an ongoing effect on people's lives, and such rules instill fear in the general population.

The phrase "still living under the dictatorship inside their own heads" highlights the key idea that the effects of injustice are challenging to overcome as dictatorship is difficult to fight for.
