The excerpt that shows the condescending attitude of upper-class characters in Pride and Prejudice is number 3.

Numbers 1 and 2 focus more on how the lower-classes tend to regard the upper-class and what their social behavior is like.  Let us not forget that Mr. Bennet was considered a gentleman since he did not need to work and was able to live off an inheritance. However, he was still far from belonging among the richest.

Number 4 does describe a condescending attitude on Mr. Darcy's part, but not for his being wealthy. This excerpt shows how opposite his own  and Mr. Bingley's personalities - his best friend - are.

Now, excerpt number 3 describes Mr. Bingley's sisters who, unlike his brother, took their rank and money very seriously and chose to despise the less fortunate. They thought so highly of themselves that they were able to forget that someone in the family - even if it was a long time ago - had to actually work to make the fortune they inherited. They believed they "were therefore in every respect entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others." That behavior is shown in the narrative by other upper-class characters as well, such as Mr. Darcy's aunt, whose words were always impertinent but never contested, since no one - except maybe for Elizabeth, the main character - would have the courage to do so.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Franklin attempting to increase tolerance towards Native Americans was the largest difference betwixt Franklin’s "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America" and Rowlandson’s The Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Rowlandson. Franklin promoted acceptance regarding the beliefs of the native Americans. On the other hand, Rowlandson’s view towards the native American people was negative.

Why does the author use the following simile: "She rests on the crib—/ pink and soft, / like a cake in the oven"?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: the swan might be a metaphor for our soul, which is ancient and timeless. the speaker wants to know where it's going and what it wants, what's the purpose in life. he asks our soul to follow him in knowing that god is us and the answer to the question "who am i" that was written on the wind of god's whim to know himself that blew over his being in the beginning of creation. and to connect to god consciously on the path to knowing him is the joy of loving him, like a bee that will grow and end our sorrows by ending desire. in that connection there is no doubt about god and existing forever.

Hope this helps......... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!! :D
