When the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, Rainsford took up his flight again. It was flight now, a desperate, ho

peless flight, that carried him on for some hours. Dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. The ground grew softer under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. Then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. He tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. With a violent effort, he tore his foot loose. He knew where he was now. Death Swamp and its quicksand.

How does the dialogue reveal that Sacho respects Don Quixote in the story?
mr Goodwill [35]

The correct answer is option A: He tells him the "giants" are windmills.

Cervantes wrote Don Quixote in two parts, published respectively in 1605 and 1615. Sancho and Don Quixote come across a field of windmills, which Don Quixote sees as a group of giants. Sancho tells him they are not giants but windmills. Don Quixote replied that Sancho is not experienced in these matters, and that is why he can not see that they are clearly giants. Then, Sancho tries to dissuade Quixote, but he attacks one of the windmills, damaging his spear and acquiring some injuries. Sancho tells Quixote that it was foolish to attack the windmills. Quixote tells him that the evil magician Freston changed the giants into windmills to deprive him of his victory.

The title of this novel is "Black Boy." What does his ironic use of the word "boy" signify about the way that black men were per
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The blacks in America were deemed inferior and only seen as someone lesser, like a young boy among adults. Maybe, this is one reason why Wright uses the word "boy" in his title.

Explanation:

Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" presents the author's childhood and also growing up years as a black man in the American South. The book deals with themes of growing up, racism, family, and also a sense of trying to find his identity.

The use of the word "boy" in the title is ironic because Wright may be describing his childhood experiences but at the same time, the memoir covers well beyond his childhood years too. This may also have to do with his feeling of still being a kid despite being an adult.

Also important is how the blacks were perceived by the whites, the "superior" whites. Though same in all senses, blacks were hardly accepted by the whites as their own or equals, and more like inferior and lesser than them. This can also be one reason why Wright uses the word "boy", as a generalization of how his black people were perceived by the whites.

What is Laertes first question to Claudius about his fathers death?
insens350 [35]

Let this be so.

His means of death, his obscure burial—

No trophy, sword, nor hatchment o'er his bones,

No noble rite nor formal ostentation,

Cry to be heard, as 'twere from heaven to earth,

That I must call't in question.
