Which lines from the excerpt directly develop the idea that things are a burden?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The lines that directly develop the idea that things are burden are:

When I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea

There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship

Explanation:

This question concerns the essay "The Tyranny of Things", by Elizabeth Morris, published in 1917. As the title suggests, the author discusses how chained we are to things. We wish to posses more and more, only to become enslaved in the end. Things need to be taken care of. Instead of serving us, they end up having us as their servant.

That is what the lines below mean. Morris's word choice is clear: tired, demand care, claim attention, cumber one's consciousness, insistent and unchanging companionship. Things are a burden. They drain us, suffocate us:

When I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea

There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship

2. What are five key points that help develop the central idea of “Down and Dirty: Do Men and Woman Perceive Cleanliness Differe
Anarel [89]

Answer:

1. “Humans move through a sea of microbial life that is seldom perceived except in the context of potential disease and decay.” If that is so, then men, it would appear, are enthusiastic body surfers while women barely dip their toes into the mess.

2. ...reports a recent paper in the suggestively titled journal Biology of Sex Differences, women are superior to men in discriminating among fine distinctions of color, while males are better able to discern details in any given viewscape from a distance.

3.  hunter-gatherer hypothesis, which proposes that certain biological adaptations occurred as a result of different divided-labor roles in human prehistory. Since men were better at spotting things from afar, they hunted, and since women were better at distinguishing colors, they chose which mushrooms to eat—they gathered, in other words, and apparently they developed the ability to discern dirt where men could not.

4.  The scene from Jane Austen's 1815 novel titled, 'Emma' have the last word on the matter. The ladies here probably exchanged looks which meant, “Men never know when things are dirty or not” and the gentlemen perhaps thought each to himself, “Women will have their little nonsenses and needless cares.”

5. The author's personal experience as a man; Anyone who is fastidious about washing hands, avoiding grime, and keeping a neat immediate environment would probably want to keep a safe distance from my office, which is a chaos of slopped coffee, teetering piles of books and papers, dust, and assorted flotsam and jetsam.

I now have a defense for this studied disorder: namely, my chromosome count.

Explanation:

The article, "Down and Dirty: Do Men and Women Perceive Cleanliness Differently?" shows that women tend to observe good hygiene practices more than men. The key details highlight this main point. The author Gregory McNamee begins with himself by explaining how his office is in so much disorder. He goes on to cite a research finding which indicates that the number of bacteria obtained from men's workspaces was more than those of women, giving credence to the fact that women are tidier than men.

A novel by Jane Austen also shows a brief conversation between a couple indicating that the woman paid more attention to the cleanliness of her environment than her husband. The hunter-gatherer hypothesis is also proof that women did work that requires giving close attention to details while men observed from a distance.
