One thing interesting about the setting in the short story "Through the Tunnel" is that author Doris Lessing carefully uses word choices to show the striking contrast between the beach and the enticing rocky bay, and the contrast helps set the mood of the story and develop the major theme.

Answer:

Some examples of word choice that help to convey the setting of Doris Lessing’s story are the fact that as Jerry heads off to play in the “wild bay,” the author describes the “rough, sharp rock[s],” and he runs “sliding and scraping” down the rocks to the water. The negative connotations of this word choice paint a vivid picture of the author’s setting, which is meant to be an untamed, dangerous, and alien land that Jerry is left to go and explore on his own.

Which excerpt from the essay most clearly portrays imperialism with negative connotations?
just olya [345]

Although all four excerpts are disgusting, we should single out one of them.



"Shooting an Elephant" George Orwell is a story of imperialism  and the ratio of the local population inhabited by Imperial Britain. Imperialism is the most powerful force in world history. It exists today, moved from the colonial era to neo-colonial or neo-imperialism. During this transition, modes and strategies were changed, but the goal remained the same - to rule and exploit the natives, using their strength, military, economic and technological.


Killing an elephant shows various aspects of imperialism, imperialism is a double sword that inflicts damage on both sides, the local population and the British officer representing the imperial empire. When he killed the animal, he had to calm the Burmese. The fact that the Burmese decides what the imperial officer must do about it, provides an ironic image of a master who becomes a slave to fulfill his racial and imperial duties. Here, Orwell asks an important question: if an officer, a good man, can be corrupted and destroyed by imperialism, what happens to those who are not so honest?


The officer is aware of the malevolence of imperialism, but he is also aware of the ways in which beasts turn locals under the influence of imperialism. Local Buddhist priests laugh at him because in essence it was not necessary to kill an elephant, which was the consequence of his clumsy decision. However, there is no greater embarrassment than laughter in the face, sent to the white officer of the British Empire.



An excerpt from "Shooting an Elephant" that best demonstrates the dual destructive influence of imperialism, both on the local and the imperialist ones, is C).

What do you think Poirot means when he notes, "He is susceptible, our Colonel"? Why would he say that the train is "as dangerous
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hercule Poirot was making a comparison on how a train ride had the same dangers of a sea voyage. If we think and see every single detail it does have their similarities. They both are massive transportation machines that are capable of handling a large amount of people within their parameters. That means that for a certain amount of time you are "stuck" with the same people and unable to go anywhere else. In consequence, if something bad happens on the ride then there is going to be a 50/50 chance in everything. If it's the case of being the person who is hurt or being the person who is hurting people. Those are the types of dangers the passengers may have.
