The advice that Ophelia receives from her brother Laertes is extremely different from the advice her father Polonius gives her. Laertes gently reminds Ophelia that Hamlet might really love her, but since he is in line for the throne he and might not actually be able to choose his wife for himself. He warns her to keep her affection "Out of the shot and danger of desire," meaning to not give in to her desires, otherwise she might ruin herself for future potential husbands. Polonius' advice is a little bit more aggressive. He scolds Ophelia for giving Hamlet too much attention, and says that there is no way Hamlet actually loves her. He says that his vows she "<span>must not take for fire", meaning she should not take his words for true passion. The overall difference between Laertes and Polonius is that Laertes is much gentler, and believes Hamlet might actually have feelings for her right now, and Polonius is putting more blame on Ophelia, saying there is no way Hamlet actually likes her.

Can justice and forgiveness go hand in hand?
Arlecino [84]
This is a rather subjective question, and it really depends on your personal opinions about the topic. In my eyes, yes, justice and forgiveness can go hand in hand. Let's take an example of an offender who committed a particular crime.

He or she will be prosecuted for what they did, and thus justice will be served. However, after they've endured their punishment, they might become law-abiding citizens again, and this is where forgiveness takes place - they can be forgiven for their evil deeds and allowed back into the society (although, this depends on the crime they've committed).

Explain the difference between a search engine, a metasearch engine, and a subject directory
BigorU [14]
A search engine is a program that searches/identify items in a database which corresponds to keywords specified by the user. A meta search engine is an online information retrieval tool that uses data of a web (search English) and that makes its own results. A subject directory is a service which offers a collection of links to the internet which is posted by creators. Hope this helped!

He [Mr. Summers] made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, “Watson boy drawing this
Andru [333]

Answer:

I think the best answer would be he died of an unknown illness because Mr. Summers is referring to a man that is Watson. Normally people refer "head" of the family as the man. And since his mother is assumed she's alone, she has a man to do the work. I don't think I explained this properly but I hope it helps! :)
