In order to know how someone is (or their character) you must put them in power. if you give someone power it is easier to see what their motive is.

Yes, this question is hard to explain, so let me try.  Sometimes men think power is their only advantage.  You can see examples, like when the 37th president Nixon thought since he was the president, the had the right to keep his conversations secret.  But this is not true, no one is above the power of law.  Any who, men change their personality when they are given power.  They think differently, and act differently.  Sometimes this is yet a bad thing, other time a good thing.  But this quote is trying to say, power brings out a mans inner self.

Write a short response to the following question: Do you agree with Mack’s argument? Why or why not? Why Read Shakesphere
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Yes, I agree with Mack's argument because he was able to clarify and give enough evidence on how reading Shakespeare is similar to that of studying the real world and our own selves. It also emphasizes the integrity of the heart and mind and how such unity makes a person understand and become educated.

Explanation:

The question above is related to Michael Mack's argument <em>"Why Read Shakespeare?" </em>He provided evidence regarding the good side of reading the works of Shakespeare. For him, although <u>reading Shakespeare's works may seem hard at the start, reading it over and over again will allow the person to grasp its true meaning.</u> He also compared it to that of studying different courses in college and learning to play a particular music.

Read the excerpt from a short story. The young docent welcomed the class to the museum, explaining that the east wing was under
Fittoniya [83]

This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:

What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?

A. word choice

B. quickening the pace of the story

C. intentionally omitting setting details

D. making the outcome of events uncertain

Answer:

The technique the author uses to build suspense is:

C. intentionally omitting setting details

Explanation:

The setting of a story is the place where and the time when the story happens. When an author wishes to make the setting clear, he will give out details and descriptions to help readers visualize it.

<u>However, that is not what happens in the excerpt we are analyzing here. The author intentionally leaves out details to build suspense. He does not offer a description of the museum and, most importantly, of the objects inside the museum. What are the "hulking objects" he mentions? Mummies? Old statues? What do they look like? We do not know. All we know is that they cast long shadows and stretch across the floor. By describing them so poorly, the author creates suspense, leaving readers wondering about these objects and their role in the story.</u>
