What does this excerpt from act 1 of Romeo and Juliet reveal about the Montague-Capulet feud? ABRAHAM: Do you bite your thumb at

us, sir? SAMPSON: I do bite my thumb, sir. ABRAHAM: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? SAMPSON: (aside to GREGORY) Is the law of our side, if I say ay? GREGORY: No. SAMPSON: No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir. GREGORY: Do you quarrel, sir? ABRAHAM: Quarrel sir! no, sir. SAMPSON: If you do, sir, I am for you: I serve as good a man as you. ABRAHAM: No better. SAMPSON: Well, sir. GREGORY: Say 'better:' here comes one of my master's kinsmen. SAMPSON: Yes, better, sir. ABRAHAM: You lie. SAMPSON: Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember thy swashing blow. The servants are more serious about the feud than their masters. The servants of both households use the feud as an excuse to pick fights with each other. The Capulet-Montague feud is petty, foolish, and easily blown out of proportion. The servants don’t take the feud seriously and are disinterested in its outcome. The young noblemen of both houses use the feud as an excuse to pick fights.

Answer:

The Capulet-Montague feud is petty, foolish, and easily blown out of proportion.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju l iet" revolves around the family of the Capulets and the Montaigue who have been feuding for a long time. But despite this family feud, their two young children fell in love, leading to an impossible love affair which ended tragically.

This family feud did not confine itself to just the main family but even to their servants and friends. Such was the extent of the feud that they don't even want to stay within close proximity. This given excerpt from Act I shows how petty the feud is, as both families including the servants easily get flared up and start a fight. This scene in particular show how both sides would foolishly try to engage in a scuffle, whether there is any valid reason or not. And this fight will be easily blown out of proportion, escalating it for no reason.

What is a summarize ?????
Korolek [52]
When you summarize, you take the main points of a story and write in in a few sentences. You want to make sure you hit all the key parts of the story and don't focus on the small details. If you were telling a friend about a movie you saw, you would by describe the major events, but not the little moments. That would be summarizing. You can do this with any book,movie,story etc. :)

What is the author’s objective in giving lectures from the book of Five Lectures on Blindness
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The lectures were addressed to individuals who could see to highlight and create awareness on the discrimination and withholding of privileges to the blind.

Explanation:

Written by Kate M. Foley, the book, Five Lectures on Blindness was meant to be read at the summer session of the University of California in 1918. The author who was blind herself but was mentally intelligent and smart had been denied jobs due to her disability. She wrote this book to draw the attention of the public to the discrimination being meted out to blind people.

For example, she talked about a very smart lawyer who when he became blind, was now pitied by his colleagues and would not be offered jobs by clients. She appealed to people with sight to show more empathy to the blind and allow them to do work that they were qualified for.

natima [27]

Answer:

Hyperbole.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration for emphasis. The athlete didn't actually <em>tear</em> down the road, but a reader can tell that he was running as fast as he could so he could take first place.
