Ebenezer Scrooge’s character changes between Act 1 and Act 2 of A Christmas Carol: Scrooge and Marley. In an essay, describe these changes and analyze how events in the plot shape Scrooge’s character. Include details from the text in your essay.
Answer
Scrooge goes through a catharsis, he manages,just in time as far as his age is concerned, to reinvent himself. He goes through an 'enlightenment' when the ghost of his old business partner comes back from the dead momentarily to tell him about the shackles of sin; greed, selfishness, uncharitable behavior, avarice and general penny-pinching meanness, and where it has led him in the afterlife. It has brought him nothing but misery - but Scrooge can avoid it if he manages to mend his ways before his own death. This requires remorse, sorrow and genuine shame on Scrooge's part. At first he doesn't seem to be learning any lessons - then there is an illumination (he asks what will become of Tiny Tim and now seems to genuinely care.) The change in Scrooge is a change in heart.
Answer:
Someone who is from the West and whose parents are from the West.
Explanation:
In Gary Sato's <em>Like Mexicans</em>, he tells the story of how his parents and family want him to marry a girl from his own race and ethnicity. They seemed to emphasize the importance of marrying within the same 'race', which he also tries hard to obey as far as he can.
In the given passage, Gary mentioned his best friend Scott as <em>"a second-generation okie"</em>. And like he mentioned in the beginning of the story, and according to his grandmother, <em>"everyone who wasn't Mexican, black or Asian were Okies"</em>. So, though Okie is a term generally used to refer to a resident of Oklahoma or a native of that place, Sato used this term as a generalized term for anyone from the West and whose parents are from the West.
Answer:
a) Rainsford believes that animals are inferior to humans and therefore deserve to be hunted, while Zaroff feels this way about other humans.
Explanation:
The short story of "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell tells the story of how a hunter became the hunted. The character of Sanger Rainsford, who is a reputed hunter, became the victim in one of the most gruesome game of hunting.
Rainsford and his friend Whitney were on their way to a hunting expedition when Rainsford got lost and was stranded in an island owned by General Zaroff. This island had a different type of hunting a game, for their victims are humans, weaker sections in the chain. Zaroff hunts them for his pleasure, which is also the way Rainsford feels about his hunted animals. But their difference lies in the identity of the hunted animals. While Rainsford believes that animals are inferior, thus the reason why hunting them is reasonable, Zaroff also hold this same belief except that his feelings about the inferiority of his hunted animals are humans just like him.
