Based on this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," what is the contextual meaning of the word resign? "I am sor

ry," he said, and patted me on the shoulder with his good hand. "I would not be rude. My wife has just died. You must forgive me." "Oh-" I said, feeling sick for him. "I am so sorry." He stood there biting his lower lip. "It is very difficult," he said. "I cannot resign myself." He looked straight past me and out through the window. Then he began to cry. "I am utterly unable to resign myself," he said and choked. And then crying, his head up looking at nothing, carrying himself straight and soldierly, with tears on both cheeks and biting his lips, he walked past the machines and out the door.

<span>In this context, the word resign means that something terrible has happened and it cannot be changed. The passing of his wife is the horrible event, and death is something he cannot change. His tears and solemn appearance is proof that it was devastating.</span>

In two paragraphs or more if you were granted one wish and it had to be about changing education. What would you wish and explai
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The word "education" has very generalized meaning, it is a lifelong process of learning and acquiring new skills. The education itself cannot easily be changed, but the school system and other methods of gaining education can be. If I had the chance to change the school system, which is the most common way of gaining education, I would attempt to make it more individualised and give everyone the attention they need to get the best out of them.

I believe a good school system also needs to take into account one's individual strenghts, because everyone is good at something, but isn't always given the chance to show that in school. As Einstein says, "Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by the ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing...... "(the filter does not allow me to say this here, check out the quote and fix it). I agree with the idea that school should help everybody acquire fundamental knowledge as it helps us understand the world around us, but without forcing them to study unnecessary things they aren't interested nor good at. It should have more practical purpose and teach people more things that are necessary in life, to help them improve in fields they find interesting, to not only educate but also discipline the youth and make them good people.
