Answer:

Harrison Bergeron seems to know he will die for he did not try to leave even after he had made his point.

It is not shocking to know he will die for it is better to be dead than being held captive.

There seems to b no foreshadowing for his death.

He did what he did even after knowing he will die because he wants others to see the faults of the government and the need for someone to stand up against this oppression.

Explanation:

"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut is a depiction of a dystopian world where in the name of equality, people are made to wear disguises. Handicap seems to be the norm for equality, for everyone seems to have one thing or another on their body too keep them at par with the rest. Those more intelligent or more physically superior are made to wear disguises to be equal to the others.

The main protagonist Harrison is also made to wear disguise to hide his superiority. In protest against the oppression, he stormed the TV studio at the end of the story. If he had wanted to survive, he would have just made his point and escaped. But instead, he began dancing with a ballerina, urging the others to discard their 'handicaps' and join him. He and the ballerina were shot dead by the Handicapper General.

This death is not shocking as it would have been better to be dead rather than be a captive of an authoritarian government that restricts one's capabilities.

Through his death, Harrison seems to tell the world that this oppression is wrong and that there should be someone brave enough to take on the role of fighting for the right thing.

Write a two paragraph response of whether you agree or disagree with the statement "Students have
sattari [20]

Answer:

Public school students do not lose their constitutional rights when they walk through the schoolhouse doors. The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized that “students in school as well as out of school are ‘persons’ under our Constitution.” This means that they possess First Amendment rights to express themselves in a variety of ways. They can write articles for the school newspaper, join clubs, distribute literature, and petition school officials.

But public school students do not possess unlimited First Amendment rights. Two legal principles limit their rights. First, as the Supreme Court has said, minors do not possess the same level of constitutional rights as adults. Second, the government generally has greater power to dictate policy when it acts in certain capacities, such as educator, employer or jailer. For instance, a school principal can restrict a student from cursing a teacher in class or in the hallway. However, the principal would have limited, if any, authority to punish a student for criticizing a school official off-campus.

Find missing apostrophes
Alik [6]

Answer:

Astronomers are telling people to be especially watchful this evening, as a rare event could be making a very special appearance. The release of energised <u>particles</u> from the sun, coupled with particularly helpful overnight conditions, is predicted to make the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) visible much further south than normal. Interviewed earlier today by Chris Ross, Channel Six's science correspondent, Derwent University's Professor Andrew Higgins told her that, "it's a once-in-a-decade opportunity that people really shouldn't miss. Thanks to several fronts of high air pressure, the skies tonight will be particularly clear. I'll be over the moon come the dawn."

Explanation:

The apostrophe has two basic functions:

  • to express possession, for example, <em>dog's, man's; dogs', men's</em>, etc.;
  • to indicate that letters have been removed to form a contraction: <em>he'll (= he will), mustn't (= must not),</em> etc.

The highlighted word<em> particles' </em>is incorrect because an apostrophe is not needed there. Possession is already expressed there by the use of a preposition <em>of.</em>

The words <em>Six's</em> and <em>University's</em> are examples of the apostrophe's first function.

The words <em>it's, shouldn't, </em>and <em>I'll</em> are contractions (<em>it is, should not, </em>and<em> I will</em>).
