Hawthorne Uses Anecdotes In His Biography Of Benjamin Franklin To Amuse His Readers And Reveal The Character

Answers

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. It shows that Franklin, as a young man, was a wanderer with no purpose or ambition in life.

Explanation

Section 59 of the Biography of Benjamin Franklin of Hawthorne talks about Franklin's youth, highlighting that he had no ambition for life by saying that "he has not told us whether his slumbers were visited by any dreams". In addition, he emphasizes that he had no expectations about his future, so it was unimaginable for him that he would become the important person that he was by saying that "But it would have been a strange dream, indeed, and an incredible one, that should have foretold how great a man he was destined to become, and how much he would be honored in that very city where he was not friendless and unknown". From the above, the correct answer is C. It shows that Franklin as a young man was a vagabond with no purpose or ambition in life.

Read this excerpt from "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi” by Rudyard Kipling.

Darzee was a feather-brained little fellow who could never hold more than one idea at a time in his head; and just because he knew that Nagaina's children were born in eggs like his own, he didn't think at first that it was fair to kill them. But his wife was a sensible bird, and she knew that cobra's eggs meant young cobras later on; so she flew off from the nest, and left Darzee to keep the babies warm, and continue his song about the death of Nag. Darzee was very like a man in some ways.

She fluttered in front of Nagaina by the rubbish heap, and cried out, "Oh, my wing is broken! The boy in the house threw a stone at me and broke it.” Then she fluttered more desperately than ever.

Nagaina lifted up her head and hissed, "You warned Rikki-tikki when I would have killed him. Indeed and truly, you've chosen a bad place to be lame in.” And she moved toward Darzee's wife, slipping along over the dust.

Based on the excerpt, which question would be the best interview question to ask Darzee’s wife?

How many of your eggs was Darzee protecting?
Do you like being married to Darzee?
How did you feel when Nagaina began to approach you?
Have you ever been friends with Nagaina?

Part 2 Directions: You are to write a three (3) paragraph essay to the questions posed. Make sure that you answer all three (3) parts of the question. You must use the drama Hamlet, the poem The Present Crisis and/or the short story Lamb to the Slaughter to help prove your points. Remember, in the first paragraph you have to state your thesis and a little background information, and in the second paragraph, you go into detail about each question using text as support, and the third paragraph is the concluding paragraph where you restate your thesis and your final thoughts. You will write in 3 rdperson using pronouns (he, she, it or they). 1) What is revenge supposed to look like for Hamlet? (2) Is he merely avenging his father’s or is he retaliating because he was not made king after his father’s death?(3) And how did Ophelia play into his revenge?

Answers

Answer:

Hamlet´s main goal is avenging his father’s being killed. There are no hints that imply him angry about not being king following his father’s dying. What he wants is to make sure that Claudius is guilty and kill him as retaliation to send him to hell.

Explanation:

In act 3, Hamlet has an opportunity to kill him, but since Claudius was praying at the time, Hamlet feared that killing him would send him to heaven, so he didn´t. That implies that the ultimate revenge for him is sending Claudius to hell. Ophelia and her romantic relationship with Hamlet play an important part in the plot of revenge. In the end, is the fear of others to Ophelia being with Hamlet, as well as Hamlet´s erratic behavior around her, that drives Ophelia mad into killing herself.

Hamlet seems to have clear goals but finds he´s unable to accomplish them because of doubt and erratic behavior while trying to discover the truth about his father. While he goes through a justified and not greedy attempt to seek revenge and seems to be in love with Ophelia, his actions don´t allow him to accomplish his goals.

Answer:

The sentence which contains one of the errors mentioned in the checklist is:

B. Rainbows occur when the sun shines thru a rain shower.

Explanation:

Even though we have grown used to seeing the word "thru" around, it is actually a misspelling. The correct spelling is "through", while "thru" is a way to write the word that focuses on how it sounds. We can often see the latter in text messages, or even in "drive-thru" signs. With that in mind, we can say option B contains the error mentioned in number 4 of the checklist.
