There is quite a symbolic importance of London in Great Expectations. ... Now, contrast that to Pip's humble beginnings in the marshes, where he was literally living the exact opposite of what life in London was like. London, to someone like Pip represents the ultimate milieu in terms of success.

Write a story ending with "That experience will linger on my mind for a long time"​
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

It was late on a Saturday when I took the biggest decision of my life: I agreed with a group of friends to a haunted house to "see what the thrill was all about".

I knew that if I told my Aunt Emelda, she would forbid me from going so I decided to sneak out and meet them at a rendezvous. We were four in number, Josh, Troy, Todd and me.

Josh brought a large torch and water, Troy came with a shovel, for what reason I did not know, Todd came with a camera, and me, well, I came with sandwiches in case we got hungry.

We entered the haunted house by half-past nine and immediately we step foot on the front porch, there was this eerie feeling we all had, but we were determined to see the end of it all, so we soldiered on.

Suddenly, the torch Josh was with went off and refused to turn on, and we began to hear a screeching sound like a cat scratching on the walls, we decided we had had enough and ran off. Todd was crying, Troy was screaming his head off, but me, well, that experience will linger on my mind for a long time.

Which line in this excerpt from "The Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope suggests that women in eighteenth-century England were
dalvyx [7]
The correct answer is:
<span>[O say what stranger cause, yet unexplor'd,
Could make a gentle Belle reject a Lord?]

The poet is wondering why a girl would ever reject a man who is hitting on her and wants to marry her. It is implied that women had no say in this - that their marriage depended solely on the man and that they couldn't choose at all. The entire poem is quite satirical and meant to mock these kinds of ideas and behaviors.

Someone please give me a example of a persuasive essay!!!
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

1- Are you tired of seeing your paychecks slashed by unjust tax deductions? We work hard to provide for our families and then wind up only being able to live paycheck to paycheck. If you vote for me, I'll make sure your taxes are lowered and you get the government services that you depend on. Imagine everything you'll be able to do with more wiggle room in your monthly income. Cast your vote today.

2- We need to act now to save our community garden. It's ten years in the making, with enough organic vegetables to feed every mouth in this neighborhood. Hud & Co. has no right to come into our town and pave a parking lot over one of our most prominent food sources. Come rally with me this Friday night. Together, we will stand in their way and protect our beloved town.

3- Raising taxes is wrong because people should be entitled to keep their own money and because an increase in tax revenue will be stifling to businesses. We should keep taxes low or even reduce tax rates to encourage growth.

In a persuasive essay, it's the writer's job to convince the reader to accept a particular point of view or take a specific action.

What happens at Macbeths coronation dinner? List everything that happened
BabaBlast [244]
At Forres, Macbeth and his wife welcome the thanes of Scotland to the banquet. Immediately prior to the feast, one of the murderers appears at a side door and reveals to Macbeth the truth about the mission: their success in the killing of Banquo and their failure to murder Fleance. Macbeth recomposes himself and returns to the table. As he raises a toast to his absent friend, he imagines he sees the ghost of Banquo. As with the ethereal dagger, the ghost of Banquo appears to come and go, propelling Macbeth into alternating fits of courage and despair. Lady Macbeth invites the thanes to depart and, once alone, tries one last time to soothe her husband. But Macbeth's paranoid mind is already on to the next murder, that of Macduff. To ascertain his future with greater certainty, he makes clear his intention to visit the Weird Sisters once more.
