Answer:

The king does not seem to think that men in England are qualified to be in their positions. He sounded repulsed with the idea that people use gunpowder and kill each other, the violence and the bloodshed that it brings.

Explanation:

The character Gulliver's interaction with the king of Brobdingnag in Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver Travels" shows the king feeling repulsed about the idea of using gunpowder against each other, fighting wars and bringing about bloodshed. Men of England were, to him, were the most barbaric of their kind. For him, he delights in new discoveries of the art or nature but detests any acts of violence.

Through this scene, we can also get to know Swift's position and opinion of England. This discourse is a veiled representation of his stand on England's policies, criticizing the government of England and that what she is doing is not the best for the people and that England's rulers or political leaders are all useless in terms of caring for the development of people.

Vladimir [108]
Pets should be not be able to be allowed in schools because it can be an distraction in class because students need to be able to focus so they can pass. It won’t only be a distraction to the animal owner but to other students because they will be looking at animals instead of focusing, all though animals are adorable animals are supposed to stay home and not come to school. As it is school is hard to focus in!

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

I'm not quite sure what part of the play you're at, but I know that Tybalt isn't aware of Romeo & Juliet's marriage at one point, so maybe that's the answer you're looking for.

In lines 20-36, Fitzgerald writes about Dexter's fantasies involving "imaginary audiences and armies" and golf tournaments. What
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

- - What do such fantasies reveal about Dexter's character? That Dexter is a superficial and naive dreamer that fails to look beyond appearances. Not only are things not as epic and glorious to ego as he thinks but also that he fails to appreciate what he actually has, in favor of an illusion of something that does not even exist (his impressions of the external appearance and glitter of wealth do not even reflect on the underlying consequences of such wealth and on how these men actually got wealthy). He is thus incapable of understanding reality and his dreams are a distorted version of it based on his own projections.

- - Why does the author choose to tell us about Dexter's fantasy life? Because it provides the reader with an insight on the shallowness and futility of Dexter's quest. By comparing reality to dreams, Fitzgerald provides an inkling that foreshadows the end result of Dexter's quest: a dual occurrence of a bleak yet wealthy reality and his disillusioned, extravagant dreams.
