ValentinkaMS [17]

The author feels like Thomas Young was a pioneer in the deciphering of hieroglyphs since he "got three out of seven symbols, which was a better score than any other scolar before him".

However, the author feels that Thomas Young was too confident in his assumptions, which caused him to fail in his task, and that he "put roadblocks in his own path".

Still, the author believes that Young's contribution was key to the final deciphering of the hieroglyphs, since he "laid a solid groundwork for others in their attempts to decipher the hieroglyphs".

To what extent has Hundert’s character changed over the course of the text?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Mr. Hundert in Ethan Canin's The Palace Thief actually changes significantly for the worse before he changes for the better at the end of the story.

When we first meet Mr. Hundert, he is a young history teacher at St. Benedict's, still intent upon introducing his students to the “lofty ideals” of the ancients, hoping to inspire the boys as well as “temper their ambition with humility.” However, the high ideals Mr. Hundert holds for himself are shattered when he encounters the stubborn corruption of Sedgewick Bell.

Sedgewick is rude and arrogant, and for a while, Mr. Hundert tries to find a balance between correcting him and encouraging him. Then the annual Mr. Julius Caesar competition approaches, and Mr. Hundert makes his first big mistake. He submits Sedgewick for the competition rather than a better-qualified boy. His motive seems honorable, for he wants to further encourage Sedgewick, but his actions are not fair. Mr. Hundert is beginning to descend from his high ideals.

Read the excerpt from the yellow wallpaper. What does the narrator's description reveal about the social context of the story?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

B. Doctors were believed to be unquestionably all-knowing.

Explanation:

Charlotte Perkins Gillman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" revolves around the life of a woman 'diagnosed' with mental illness and the 'treatment' around that sickness. The story delves into the theme of mental illness and how it is perceived by the people, especially in a patriarchal society like the one the narrator is in.

In the given excerpt, the woman, diagnosed with mental illness, states how she was 'treated' for the <em>"temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency"</em>. The physicians, including her own brother, all decide what is the best for her condition, instead of asking her opinion. This shows the lack of women's participation, let alone acceptance of women, in society including the domestic sphere.

Lastly, <u>her revelation shows how doctors or anyone of high standing, were perceived and believed to be unquestionably all-knowing and correct</u>.

From the information provided in the selection, what meaning does the author express with the phrase the hairs on my arm stood o
blondinia [14]

Answer:

B) Fright

Explanation:

If the hairs on his arm 'stood up' then he's emphasizing that he might have gotten a shiver. If you feel excitement,  you won't feel a shiver. If you're trying to say 'pain', then you could feel pain. If you were surprised, then you might feel excitement or shocked, which wouldn't cause you to say 'my hairs on my arms stood up'. Therefore, the option left is b) fright. If you feel frightened, then you might feel like something like that happened.
