In the story of “Shooting an Elephant”, when the narrator views the body of the Burmese man who had been creased to death in a crucifix-styled posture, he has an overwhelming attack of conscience. The narrator realizes that just like the Burmese man, the elephant had been crucified, as well, and it does not appease the narrator that his killing the elephant was within legal parameters.The narrator apprehends that the law and conscience are often not well-matched. He is there in an official capability and is hated for it by the Burmese. He equally has hated them for their anger. Yet, when he allows his morality to surface, he understands that he is part of the structure that is there to tyrannize the Burmese. The fact that he holds a position of authority does not essentially make it a moral duty. This is true of his killing the elephant. He did not want to lose face in front of the Burmese, and he was legally justified in killing it, but morally he knows that it was actually morally wrong.

Which statement is a theme of "the yellow paper"?
babymother [125]

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent social critic and feminist writer in the United States of the period from the 1890s through the 1930s. In The Yellow Wallpaper, originally published in 1899, she presents the internal dialogue of a woman diagnosed with hysteria and for whom total rest has been prescribed. In the short fiction, the patient is slowly driven mad by her cure, cut off from any intellectual pursuits whatsoever.  

Though The Yellow Wallpaper is a work of fiction, it was based on Gilman's own experience after being diagnosed as an hysteric and prescribed a "rest cure" which prohibited her writing and labelled her feminism and social critique as symptoms of uterine illness. Gilman recovered from her "cure," and went on to write influential social theses, including Women and Economics (1898), and a feminist utopian novel, Herland (1915), which has become a classic of American women's literature.

Read the excerpt from the story Time for a Change.
arsen [322]

Answer:

a) One character tries something new and likes it while the other character tries a new activity and does not like it.

Explanation:

Carlos is hesitant to try a new hot dog topping in "Time for a Change," but he ends up loving it. In "Hide and Seek," Raj is terrified of sliding down a slide, but he does it anyway and has a fantastic time. Even if they are hesitant or fearful at first, the characters in both works find that trying new things is good.

In Carlos' example, a small change to his hot dog results in a new discovery and a more delightful lunch. Raj had a more memorable experience as a consequence of his fortitude in the face of his fear of heights. Both characters had a nice time with the encounter after some reluctance.

According to the tales, it is necessary to regularly take chances and go beyond of one's comfort zone. Even though your expectations are not always realized, exploring new things may lead to interesting experiences and learning chances that you would not have had otherwise. It's okay to feel afraid at first; it's all part of the enjoyment. To succeed, you must be open to new ideas and prepared to take some chances.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:Nonverbal Transitions

Explanation:Transitions during a speech delivery may make a speaker look more eloquent.

It also help to keep the audience focused and not falling asleep.

Non-verbal transitions include things like:

1) Pausing with your voice. This is very important to maintain and not let it get out of hands because if it is constant it may make you seem like you have lost the sequence of your thoughts This one overdone can seem like you have lost your train of thought. It is very effective thought if you have given your audience a thought provoking statement , that pause moment will make them reflect for that moment on what you just said.

2) Your body movement on the stage. This is also a non verbal transition

3) Using your fingers to count off points.

How can a reader determine the theme of a piece of literature?
saveliy_v [14]
<span>The reader can determine the theme by examining dominant points throughout the narrative. A reader must thoughtfully consider the characters and their growth, the author's tone throughout the piece, the author's purpose in writing the narrative, and the overall effect the narrative has on the reader. The opening lines of a narrative and the closing lines of a narrative often provide clues regarding the theme.</span>
