The Orientation

The teacher and student embrace in a deep hug as he eventually gets out of the automobile. Morrie smelled bad, as individuals on medicine sometimes do, according to Mitch. He is plagued with remorse, feeling he is no longer the excellent guy he was when he was Morrie's pupil and promising to keep in touch. He planned to deceive Morrie in the coming hours. Morrie sits down, takes his meds, and then informs Mitch that he is dying. Then he asks Mitch if he wants to experience what it's like to die. When Mitch says yes, the first class begins.

A foil is a circumstance in which one character contrasts with another, however in this narrative, Mitch has a foil situation with himself. He contrasts his decisions with his former self. He is plagued with remorse for failing to see his professor and for allowing himself to get so preoccupied with his work that he violated his vow to do so. When he sees his professor on the porch before to his first visit, he feels this remorse for the first time.

This is also a dramatic irony. The reader is aware that Morrie will get nauseated while reading about Mitch reporting sports stories all around the world. Obviously, a young Mitch is unaware that his professor would be infected with this sickness, but the reader is. One has to wonder what Mitch would have done if he had a crystal ball into the future. Would he have continued his workaholic tendencies, or would he have scheduled a day a year to visit his college mentor?

At the beginning of the story, the metaphor is to compare a dying hibiscus plant to a sick and dying Molly. Notice that you are standing at the end of the bridge, also known as your life. This paints the reader a mental picture of Molly walking across the bridge and almost getting worse as she nears the end. We know he's finally gone. Molly uses her lungs as a symbol of life. When he and Mitch take a breath test, Mitch can count many numbers in a single breath. Molly comes up with far fewer numbers, and those numbers are dwindling by the day. He knows his life expectancy is short because his lungs make him do less. To Molly, his lungs represent an hourglass with the bottom half almost completely empty of sand. In this section, Morrie teaches Mitch about culture and how people create their own. An example of this is Mitch in London, who saw the tabloids and realized that people had made this our culture.This culture lesson has an allegory that can be further applied to Mitch's life. Mitch has developed a unique culture of making his work his life. Because of this, he missed out on other things (like having kids).

notsponge [240]

"Near the beginning of life on Earth, Shen Nong, who was the Lord of the Wind, made numerous voyages over our world," is the passage's best example of the trait found in a myth.

<h3>What do you mean by myth?</h3>

Myth refers to conventional tales that explain social or natural phenomena or deal with human history while incorporating supernatural characters or events. Folktales, fables, lore, and the like are a few examples.

Therefore, the aforementioned example shows that Shen Nong is thought of as the existence on earth in "Near the Beginning of Life on Earth," when he did not coexist with other life. However, "Lord of the Wind" has a supernatural character who bestows wind-related ability.

I 100% need this. please help me so I can get it correct. ill even give brainliest.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

First, be sure the anecdote you have in mind is relevant to the context. If you are writing about dogs, for example, an anecdote about a cat is irrelevant. Ask yourself, “Why do I want to use this anecdote? What point does it illustrate?”

Next, consider these questions:

Who was involved in the story?

What happened?

When did it happen? Is this relevant?

Where did it happen? Is this relevant?

Explanation: that tells you how to write the paragraph.. here is an example paragraph:

(p.s do not copy this, try to use your own words for these paragraphs)

A female boss I worked under years ago didn’t like hiring young women, “They’re just going to get married and move away or have babies, and then we have to give them maternity leave,” she would say. This illustrates that women are sometimes also guilty of gender discrimination.

You can also use anecdotes to amuse or entertain. Not all anecdotes are serious! If something really funny happens to you today, you’ll tell your friends, won’t you? That’s an anecdote! Here’s one of my favorites:

My brother used to have an absolute obsession with answering the phone in time. He would get quite agitated if it stopped ringing before anyone picked up. One day, the phone started ringing while he was in the bathroom. He called out in a panicky voice, “Ring the phone! It’s answering!” The phone didn’t get answered. I was laughing much too hard for that!

hope this helps plz mark me brainliest

MaRussiya [10]
It's been a while since I've read the book and I don't really a lot of the context, so just from this passage I would say it says he notices nice houses and other people's wealth and maybe envies them a little bit. (although you don't get that explicitly from this passage.)

The principle accusers in The Crucible are young, unmarried women. List some evidence from the play to show the status of single
guapka [62]

Single women in Puritan society had a very low social status and did not have much influence in society, but they were seen as very innocent, pure and credible people, since they were not married and had not been "corrupted". This is because, single women, in Puritan society, were considered children and therefore shared the same innocence, until they entered adulthood, where they would get married and leave the status of a child and, consequently, the status of incocence. Women prostitutes were also not considered innocent and did not deserve to be heard because of their sinful nature.

In "The crucible" the girls who started the accusations, mainly Abigail, were single and that's why nobody believed they were lying. Abigail used her reputation as an "innocent" to accuse all the people she believed should get out of her way, as no one knew she was Proctor's lover, her words were easily accepted by everyone.
