The answer is: rhetorical question.

Rhetorical questions are questions which do not expect an answer. They may not have an answer or it might be too apparent. As a consequence, the speaker intends to make a point and make the audience reflect on something. In the excerpt, the author is determined to cause readers to contemplate on the limitations and the meaning of enlightenment.

The Giver Novel : How has Jonas's perspective in chapter 13 change throughout the novel so far.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

- "As the weeks go by, Jonas learns all the colors, but still sees only glimpses of them in the world around him".

- "Jonas is angry that the world is devoid of color; it's not fair, he says".

- "The Giver asks him to explain. Jonas argues that without color, there aren't choices. He can't decide in the morning whether he wants to wear blue or red. He knows what color your shirt is isn't really important, but he thinks the ability to choose at all is what matters—on principle".

- "Jonas elaborates by discussing Gabriel, whom The Giver already knows about. What if Gabriel could choose which color toy he wanted?"

- "The Giver explains that, if that were the case, then Gabriel might make the wrong choices".

- "Jonas realizes the wisdom. He agrees that people shouldn't be allowed to choose their own spouses or jobs, because they might be wrong. "We really have to protect people," he says, "from wrong choices," because that way "it's safer."

- "Well, that was quick. So much for Jonas the freedom-lover.".

- "Still, though, Jonas doesn't quite feel satisfied with his own conclusion. He feels frustrated".

- "Actually, he feels angry. All the time. He's angry at his friends, for example, for being satisfied with their lives, which are so dull and not vibrant".

In a short story, an old man carefully removes from his cupboards a set of
hram777 [196]

Answer:

D. The beauty of the everyday and the importance of small rituals

Explanation:

Making a tee doesn't seem as much of a problem or a task that takes a big effort.

However, in this story, we see this old man passionately and carefully completing this everyday task. He carefully opens his teacups set, carefully calculates the amount of tea needed, peacefully waits for the water to boil, enjoys the smell of the tee and finally shares cup of tea with his wife enjoying in the time they spent together.

This process could've been done in a much faster pace, more hectically, doing something else simultaneously, and the result would've been the same - a cup of tea with his wife.

But, by showing us all these small rituals and careful preparation, this story conveys the importance of enjoying small, everyday things and helps us see the beauty in them.

In chapter 4, Huck decides to give Judge Thatcher all of his money. Why does he do this?
trasher [3.6K]
Simple...

If I remember correctly, Huckleberry Finn did not want his drunken dad to steal all his money and blow it all on unnecessary things (beer), so he tried to give it to Judge Thatcher. 

Thus, your answer.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
Gwar [14]

Answer:

An iceberg can serve as a useful metaphor to understand the unconscious mind, its relationship to the conscious mind and how the two parts of our mind can better work together. As an iceberg floats in the water, the huge mass of it remains below the surface. Only a small percentage of the whole iceberg is visible above the surface.
