My poverty, but not my will, consents.

In this line from the Apothecary, he is showing that he is giving Romeo the drug because he needs the money, not because he thinks it's a good idea. An internal conflict is one in which the character must make a difficult decision. Usually either way the character decides there is a positive and negative consequence. In this case, the apothecary knows that if he gives Romeo the drug someone will die and he's broken the law. However, by giving Romeo the drug, he will have enough money to buy food to eat. If he doesn't sell Romeo drug, he will still be hungry and starving. Either way his decision has negative consequences making this an internal conflict.

Write a story that best illustrates the saying "shortcut is always wrong cut"

tester [92]

I had exams coming up in a month and I was not prepared for them. Unfortunately, I had become part of a friend circle that did not believe in studying, homework or classes - we spent most of our time sitting in the college canteen, bunking classes to go for movies or simply gossiping over multiple cups of tea.

When the exams were barely 3 days away, it sort of hit me - what will my parents say when I fail my paper, that too the one I had planned to do my majors in? I started feverishly opening my books, but of course, there seemed to be a mountain of things to read, and I could barely make head or tail of it.

Woebegone, I called up one of the boys in our group and explained the predicament. He snorted, "Are you seriously planning to study?" "What else?" I asked incredulously. "Well, I have better plans. I have managed to get my hands on the question paper! Want it? We'll easily pass and with good marks, if we know what exactly to stufy," he guffawed.

I couldn't say no. Cheating to pass was a shortcut, albeit a wrong one. But it would spare me from facing my parents later on. However, as luck would have it, my 'friend' was eventually caught by the headmaster... and he let out all our names as well, who were privy to the act. As a result of which, we were asked to repeat an entire year, as a punishment for our actions.

Here goes the saying: Shortcut is always the wrong cut.

What is the theme of Don McLean’s song Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)? Explain using text evidence

Helga [31]

Answer:

The lyrics reveal Mclean's personal feelings for the artist and his works. Van Gogh produced more than 2,000 works, including around 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings and sketches, during the last ten years of his life, but he is particularly known for the works that he painted during the last two years of his life. These last two years are what Mclean focuses on in this tribute. http://www.rockremembers.com/2009/03/vincent-starry-starry-night-don-mclean.html?m=1

Explanation:

"Vincent" is a song by Don McLean written as a tribute to Vincent van Gogh. It is also known by its opening line, "Starry Starry Night", a reference to Van Gogh's 1889 painting Starry Night. McLean wrote the lyrics in 1971 after reading a book about the life of van Gogh."-Wikipedia
