Well I would say that one of the central themes in Ernest Shackleton's South can be analyzing the complexity of the fight between the individuals and the society along with its "norms", in a world where nature is somewhat relentless towards humans. Hope this helped.

What are the direct and indirect reasons behind Wes making these decisions? Were there alternate decisions he could have made in

Gre4nikov [31]

Hello, You have not informed which decision the question refers to. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours, which featured the text "The Other Wes Moore" and asked for an explanation of Wes' decision to chase Ray down a street while shooting at him. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

Answer:

Wes makes this decision to get revenge on Ray and not appear weak in front of the community, but to command respect and fear. He might not have made such a violent decision, but he could have looked for legal ways to resolve this situation.

Explanation:

Wes was beaten by Ray. In addition to the pain and shame he went through in that situation, he felt that it would make him a weak person and for that reason, he should get revenge, but to make him strong and respectable, revenge should be something much bigger than what Ray did and so he decided to use a gun and run after Ray while firing shots at him, trying to kill him. Wes could have made more peaceful and legal decisions, such as denouncing Ray's actions, but the fear of losing a reputation made him take extreme actions.

"The Other Wes Moore" shows how people's fates can be completely different when they have access to positive or negative resources. This idea is presented by the lives of two boys named Wes Moore, who were born in dysfunctional environments, but who took different approaches to the world around them, totally changing their destiny.

In ACT I SCENE I Of ROMEO & JULIET, what instance best shows Benvolio as a peacekeeper who doesn't like fighting?

pantera1 [17]

Answer: A. His response to the servants fighting in the beginning of the play

Explanation:

Servants of the Capulet family start a fight with Montague family servants. Benvolio, a Montague, draws his sword and attempts to break up the fight. Tybalt, a Capulet, sees the drawn sword of Benvolio. Tybalt draws his sword and, after Benvolio tries to avoid conflict, Tybalt attacks. The fight escalates. Montague and Capulet enter the scene. The Prince enters and commands the fight to end. Frustrated with the family feud, the Prince declares a death sentence on anybody who starts more trouble.

BENVOLIO

Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do.

Enter TYBALT

TYBALT

What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds°?

Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death.

BENVOLIO

I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword

Or manage it to part these men with me.

...

Benvolio then discusses the quarrel with Tybalt with his uncle (Romeo's father):

MONTAGUE

Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach?[11]

Speak, nephew. Were you here when it began?

BENVOLIO

Here were the servants of your adversary

And yours, close fighting ere° I did approach.

I drew to part them; in the instant came

The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,

Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,

He swung about its head and cut the winds,

Which, nothing hurt at all, hissed it in scorn.

While we were interchanging thrusts and blows

Came more and more who fought on part and part,

Til the prince came, who parted either part.

PART A: Which statement expresses a general principle that

viktelen [127]

Answer: A. Civil or religious leaders who impose religion on others are

hypocritical.

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson advocated for the separation between religion and government because he believed that it was hypocritical to impose religion on others.

He believed that if the Almighty God could decide not to impose his will on others, people would be hypocrites to do so in his name especially as they aren't infallible beings like God is.
