Mr. Gascoigne  can be characterized with the word <em>pompousness </em>because his politcial talks related to patriotism and national glory. Indeed, pompousness is synonymous with excessive pride and exaggeration. After his talk, upcoming sentence characterizes Colonel Killgrew's traits. His behavior is relevant with the word <em>lust </em>because he was looking to a beautiful woman named Widow Wycherly. The latter is characterized in the beginning of the paragraph. Her character is synonymous with <em>vanity</em>. The widow does not realize that she is not beautiful. And final sentences is about Mr. Medbourne. He is <em>greed</em>y because all he do in this scene is just to calculate the amount of money.

Find the error in possessive construction in the following sentence. The sentence contains one error. Write the correct sentence
Triss [41]
The error in the possessive construction is that, instead of passenger's, it should be "passengers'". The apostrophe should be after the letter "s" because the noun is in the plural form. The correct sentence would be "Passengers' concerns about cell phone use on planes are justified."

Which is an objective summary of the "forgiveness triumphs" theme that is developed in Act V of Hamlet?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The option that contains the objective summary of "forgiveness triumphs" theme is:

B. The scene where Laertes asks forgiveness helps demonstrate that forgiveness can be more powerful than revenge.

Explanation:

<em>Exchange forgiveness with me, noble Hamlet: </em>

<em>Mine and my father's death come not upon thee, </em>

<em>Nor thine on me! [Dies.] </em>

<em>Hamlet: Heaven make thee free of it! I follow thee. </em>

<em>I am dead, Horatio. </em>

-Hamlet,William Shakespeare

<u>Laertes seeks revenge for his father's and sister's deaths, for which he blames Hamlet. However, once they are both poisoned and about to die, Laertes realizes the futility of revenge. Death conquers all. Killing someone only brings more tragedy and suffering onto oneself and others. That is why Laertes asks Hamlet to "exchange forgiveness" with him: so that they can both be free from the deadly ropes of revenge and resentment.</u>

What are the costs and benefits of teaching television as a form of literature in classroom?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

We have always had stories. They were first told orally as fairy tales, folklore, and epic poems, and were eventually written down. And for as long as we have had stories, we’ve had literature. Stories are usually considered literature when they have long-lasting artistic or social value. Epic poems like The Odyssey or novels like To Kill a Mockingbird are considered literature because they have deeper meanings that go beyond the story. Both stories are meant to do more than just amuse the reader. A pop novel, like a James Patterson book you can buy at the airport, would not traditionally be considered literature because it is not meant to do much more than entertain the reader.

As we’ve transitioned from hearing stories to reading them, our ideas have changed about what kinds of stories have merit. We have always made a point to pass on the stories we value to next generation, regardless of their form. Therefore, it should not be so outrageous to declare that a new form of literature has been forged and needs to be passed on: television shows.

Television shows can be as complex as novels and can provide students with opportunities to learn that novels do not. Yet, there are legitimate concerns about using classroom time to dissect1 television. One issue is that complex television shows tend to have adult or graphic themes not suitable for the classroom. Another concern involves how much time students spend on television. Plenty of students already watch and discuss television in their own time, so is television needed in the classroom, too? Finally, the written word teaches cognitive2 skills that television cannot.
