What are the settings in the Shakespeare Stealer? Can anybody come up with as much as they can?

1 answer:

7 0

The Shakespeare Stealer is a 1998 historical fiction novel by Gary Blackwood. Taking place in the Elizabethan-era England, it recounts the story of Widge, an orphan whose master sends him to steal Hamlet from The Lord Chamberlain's Men. If we skip the opening setting of Mistress MacGregor's orphanage, then the three settings of The Shakespeare Stealer are the rectory in "the nearby hamlet of Berwick"; the home of Mrs. and Dr. Timothy Bright, a medical practitioner who had studied at Cambridge and who was also the rector of Berwick; Simon Bass's home in Leicester; and the city on the Thames, London City, home of the Globe Theatre.

Read this excerpt from Frankenstein: It is impossible to communicate to you a conception of the trembling sensation, half fearfu

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The full question is:

Read this excerpt from Frankenstein.

It is impossible to communicate to you a conception of the

trembling sensation, half fearful, with which I am preparing

to depart. I am going to unexplored regions. ... Shall I

meet you again, after having traversed immense seas, and

returned by the most southern cape of Africa or America? |

dare not expect such success, yet I cannot bear to look on

the reverse of the picture. ... Remember me with

affection, should you never hear from me again.

Which words best describe the overall tone of this passage?

A. Calm and contemplative

B. Excited and cautious

C. Tentative and curious

D. Resentful and angry

The answer is B. Excited and cautious.

Explanation:

Going through the text, the writer's excitement is communicated with words like "trembling sensation". He is excited about the journey he is about to take but he is also aware of the dangers, therefore cautious.

So as he writes, he takes care not to expect much success. He also anticipates that he may not return, hence the line "should you never hear from me again".

He is clearly excited about his journey but cautious about the dangers and cautious enough not to ignite hope about his return to whoever he is writing to.

Answer:

Type I

Explanation:

Type I error is also known as Alpha error or false positive(finding or conclusion) that occurs when people negate the Null Hypothesis (contradictory statement to one's hypothesis) even if it has strong chances of being true. The researchers usually form a null hypothesis in order to produce a balanced hypothesis or conclusion. Therefore, <em>the given example illustrates that if the researchers' finding is not replicated well by successive studies then it is implied that they have made type I error as they have rejected the true null hypothesis.</em>
