Read the statement below. Then decide whether you agree or disagree with the statement. Be prepared to support your opinion with details from the story. Here's your discussion prompt: In Gogol's "The Nose," the loss of a nose symbolizes the loss of power.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, I agree with the statement that the loss of Major Kovalyov's nose symbolizes the loss of power in the person.

Explanation:

Nikolai Gogol's satirical story "The Nose" that tells the story around an official in the Russian government who lost his nose. And along with that loss of the physical facial feature, he seemed to have lost his self-esteem and did things that seemed unbecoming of a government official.

In the story, the loss of the nose not only represents the literal loss of the facial feature. It also represents the literal loss of power or authority in the person. Collegiate Assessor Kovalyov was proud of his achievement and would refer to himself as "Major" just to show his power, "to make himself sound more important and to give more weight to his status". Thus, it is evident that power and status means a lot to him. So, when he realized his nose had disappeared and resurfaced as some official higher than him in position, he was flabbergasted. He even approached the nose at the church and demanded to know "where you belong? And where do I find you? In church, of all places!". He had previously guessed the position of the nose as perhaps "a state councilor" but that did not deter him from reproachfully ordering him to return his nose.

So, when the nose refused to return, he felt smaller and in "absolute despair". He even stated his position of "major" to the nose, in a bid to give authenticity to his claim. His common demeanor of telling people to 'ask for Major Kovalyov' to get something or approaching beautiful ladies all changed after the loss of the nose. Now, he felt powerless and unable to do anything, not even depend on his 'title' to get his own personal property-the nose, back. He was even reluctant to face the "slim girl [whose] cheeks flushed with the colour of the first rose of spring." He did not have any courage to approach or behave as he normally would have been, confident and powerful. And when he was asked his name at the advertising agency, he refused to reveal his name which he used to proudly proclaim to everyone.

And once the nose was returned, he felt a sense of joy that was so "intense" and regained his previous personality/ character of the 'powerful' and 'dashing' Major. Thus, I agree with the statement that the loss of the nose symbolizes the loss of power in the character of Major Kovalyov.

Answers

Answer:

hearkens

Explanation:

The word hearken means to listen, hear, heed or pay attention. In the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Richard III," Clarence tells Richard that their brother, the king, has been hearing prophecies and dreams, which tell him that Clarence will deprive the king's children of the throne. The reason is that the king has chosen the letter "G" at random and a wizard has told him that Clarence is a threat, so the king wants to imprison him.

what is the meaning of the comparison the author makes with the simile in Hope, Despair, and Memory ,"Like the body, memory protects its wounds"?

Answers

Answer:

The body protects its wounds. This means that the body heals injuries over time.

Explanation:

The author is comparing this to memory. The author is meaning to say that no matter the bad memories that you have, you'll still have good ones to pick you up again.

The simile used in the story simply means that injuries are healed with the passage of time.

The simile simply means the figure of speech that's used when we want to compare a particular thing with something else.

The author compared the body to memory. Here, the author is illustrating that the memory protects its wounds as when we are going through a tough time, with time, we'll get over such situations. This is exactly the same way that injuries get healed when we are injured.

As Greek city-states grew, political changes occurred, such as
Ο
Α
A.nobles seized power from farmers
O
B.tyrants rose to rule many city-states
O
C.nobles seized power from the merchants
O
D.farmers seized power from the merchants​

Answers

Answer:

B. Tyrants rose to rule many city-states.

Explanation:

Political changes that came upon the city-states of the Greek nation led to many unrests and even major political turmoil. While the nobles toppled the kings and took power, the lesser and poorer farmers did not like the rule of these wealthy nobles. This was because of the bad treatment they were given by the nobles when they couldn't pay off their debts. And the loss of their lands further left them with no possession, which is why they did not want the nobles to rule.

On the other hand, the "illegal" citizens like the merchants and the artisans also supported the idea of change in the administration. All these political unrest led to the emergence of some tyrants who began to seize power in some city-states, which is also supported by the common people, rather than have them be under the nobles. This led to the tyrant rule of Greek city-states to about 500 BC.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

O C. Wiesel uses repetition to encourage the audience to focus on the

D. Wiesel uses figurative language to encourage the audience to

Answers

The correct answer is B. Wiesel uses rhetorical questions to encourage the audience to continue to think about his ideas

Explanation:

The excerpt presented belongs to a speech known as "the Perils of Indifference" by Elie Wiesel who was a survivor of the Holocaust and an important author in the topic. In the excerpt presented, Wiesel refers to the indifference and the importance of learning from the past.

To explain this, the main technique Wiesel uses is rhetorical questions that are questions not intended to be answered by the audience but that encourages the audience to reflect and think about the ideas. For example, the rhetorical question "Have we really learned from our experiences? " makes the audience think about whether atrocities such as the Holocaust can occur again or the question "Has the human being become less indifferent and more human?" that questions the indifference in human societies.

3. PART A: How does the speaker feel about the student’s request to pray? A The speaker begins to think something is wrong with the plane. B The speaker doesn’t understand why the student wants to pray. C The speaker is annoyed with the student for asking to pray. D The speaker is accepting of the student’s request to pray.

Answers

Answer: D The speaker is accepting of the student’s request to pray.

Explanation:

In the poem, Window Seat by Molly McGinnis, The Speaker was lost in thought when the Muslim student asked him if he didn't mind if he could pray.

His reaction indicated that he did not mind if the student prayed and he even remarked inwardly how people in the storm raging thousands of feet below the Airplane did not bother to ask permission.

I suppose the student made the request due to the rampant Islamophobia going on around the world and the fear people feel when a person speaks Arabic. We can only pray to move on from such discriminatory times as well as the times and reasons that cause the fear and be more accepting in future.

How can I rearrange solid to mean image of your face

Answers

Answer:

Idols

Explanation:

The word Idols uses all the letters from the word solid.

Idols are sort of like statues.

Statues have faces.

Hence, rearanging the word solid to mean the image of a face is the word Idols.

:-)

The letters of the word SOLID can be rearranged to the word IDOLS, which refers to the image or statue of someone or something.

The rearrangement, shuffling, and swapping of letters comes under a broad category of Combinatorics.

What is Combinatorics?A branch of mathematics called combinatorics is largely concerned with the properties of finite structures and counting, both as a means and an end in getting conclusions. It has several applications in fields like computer science, evolutionary biology, statistical physics, and many other branches of mathematics. It is intimately connected to many other branches of mathematics.The variety of problems that combinatorics can solve is well known. Algebra, probability theory, topology, and geometry are just a few of the pure mathematics fields where combinatorial issues can be encountered. There are also other application areas where these issues can also be found. In the study of algorithms, combinatorics is widely utilized to derive formulas and estimates.
