ug them hard and after scandal them: or if you know that i profess myself in banqueting to all the rout: then hold me dangerous. [flourish, and shout] which statement best explains why shakespeare has cassius use the word fawn rather than a synonym such as flatter to describe his actions? fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of another for personal gain. fawn is a comparison to a deer and therefore creates a weak image. flatter is the more negative word, and cassius wishes to be kind in his description. flatter is used throughout the play as a compliment, and cassius would not brag about his own abilities.

Shakespeare has used the word fawn rather than a synonym such as a flatter to describe his actions because fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of another for personal gain.

<h3>What is the use of synonym words? </h3>

The word fawn implies a young deer that represent immaturity. It means it could be used to express the pessimistic manipulative behavior of a person.

However, flatter is giving a positive perspective that arises from a praising scenario.

Thus, it fawn word is more appropriate to show how Cassius is <u>influencing</u> Brutus for his personal gain.

14. Unoka, Okonkwo's father, went to consult the Oracle concerning his crops.
Talja [164]

Answer:

14. True.

15. False.

16. True.

Explanation:

In Chinua Achebe's novel 'Things Fall Apart", the story revolves around the Igbo culture in Africa, specifically on the character of Okonkwo. The story deals with themes of culture, tradition, Christianity, conformity, etc.

In Chapter 3, we see that Okonkwo's father Unoka went to the Oracle to consult why his crops failed even though he made sacrifices. It was then that he was told his crops failed despite his sacrifices because he was lazy and had planted on a wasted land.

Okonkwo's prosperity was a result of his desire to be unlike his lazy father. He did not want to be deemed alike to his father and thus, went to the wealthy Nwakibie to ask for 400 yam seeds.

In Igbo culture, yam was considered to be the king of the crops. It was assumed that a man who can feed yam to his family the whole year is a man who has succeeded and is hardworking.

How does contrast and contradiction serve as a better way of describing a
pav-90 [236]

When the author relates a particular event, he encourages the reader to follow along. When this happens, the reader is meant to focus on the story and understand the events that transpired. However, the reader might get distracted, or he might fail to identify the specific aspects that the author wants to highlight.

By using contrast and contradictions, the author encourages the reader to focus on a new idea that is significantly different to the one already presented. By doing so, the author forces the reader to pause, rethink and reevaluate the information presented, thus increasing his understanding of the subject.
