Answer:

to make the reader wonder how the slit drum helped make Kitchener famous.

Explanation:

In this chapter, the author begins by telling us about Horatio Herbert Kitchener. He was the 1st Earl of Kitchener and an important character during the First World War. However, the author talks about him in relation to the slit drum. The purpose of mentioning him is to make the reader wonder how the slit drum and Kitchener are related, and whether the drum played any role in Kitchener's success.

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Why does MacGregor begin the chapter on the slit drum with facts about Horatio Herbert Kitchener, would be: To make the reader wonder how the slit drum helped make Kitchener famous.

Explanation:

"A History of The World in 100 Objects" is both a radio program from the BBC, and a book from British Museum´s directior, Neil MacGregor in which, through a selected group of 100 objects present in the Museum, the history of the world is told and joined together. It is of great interest the way that MacGregor not only narrates about these wonderful objects, all of which ended up in British hands, but also the span of history they portray, showing the importance of the hand of England in maintaining such historical artifacts.

MacGregor also ties each of the objects to historical moments and characters in English history, and one such object is the slit drum, an artifact from Sudan that was found and presented to Queen Victoria by Horatio Herbert Kitchener.

The tying of these two: the historical slit drum, and Kitchener allow the reader of MacGregor´s book not only wonder, but guess, how such an artifact, that could still not be dated when Kitchener found it, give him such fame. He could not have known then that what had been discovered, marked such an important historical moment and that he would become a central figure.

Flashbacks can be a useful way to begin a story or fill in needed context at any point. Choose a book that you have read that yo
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

In the Hunger Games, I believe there was some good use of flashbacks and flash-forwards. There was one flashback from when Katniss Everdeen has to visit the mines with her class. When she smells the coal dust and goes into the shaft she is reminded of its danger and how her father died. Lots of flashbacks from the time her father was alive occur. They show that he taught her almost everything he knows, how to survive. How to swim, look for food, ect. The Flash-forwards are usually when Katniss feels like she cannot go on in the games and feels that people can live without her. She imagines Peeta winning the games and going home to his family in these flash-forwards. The book wouldn't be so heartfelt and personal without these flash-forwards and backs. These flash-backs and forwards help explain why Katniss feels the need to push through the game and her struggles.

Compare Mr. White's feelings about the monkey's paw when he makes the first wish,
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

His attitude in making all three wishes reveal that he had changed from being expectant (first wish) to being scared (second and third wish).

Explanation:

The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs evolve around the wish-granting item of a monkey's paw that was acquired by Mr. White, the protagonist of the story. The story delves into the themes of myth, superstition, greed, and death.

After acquiring the monkey's paw from Sergeant-Major Morris, Mr. White did not really have any belief in the story of the wish-granting ability. But pressurized by his wife and son, he decided to "test" the charm and wished for <em>"two hundred pounds"</em> so that they can pay off the mortgage for the house. He was at first skeptical about the wish coming true but when he got the right amount, though, at the cost of his son's life, he began to get scared.

His second wish was to bring his son back, again after being pressurized by his wife. To him, the first wish was <em>"A c-c-coincidence"</em> and even stated <em>"It is foolish and wicked"</em> to wish for another thing, that too, for his son to be brought back alive after the gruesome way he died. And when the knocking started, he was petrified for what was to be at the door. The line <em>'"A rat,” said the old man shakily – "a rat. It passed me on the stairs."' </em>reveals the real nature of the old man when he hears the knocking at the door.

And then, after realizing that it was probably their dead son coming alive again, Mr. White<em> "was on his hands and knees feeling around wildly on the floor in search of the paw"</em> so that he can make his third wish and make <em>"the thing"</em> at the door go away. The very nature of addressing whoever/ whatever was at the door as<em> "the thing"</em> suggests that whatever was there is something that isn't natural. Mr. White's frantic reaction and wish to make the knocking stop shows his scared reaction to the wishes he had made.

lisov135 [29]
