Answer:

Gradgrind is an example of mechanizing effects of Industrialization in the novel 'Hard Times.'

Explanation:

'Hard Times' is a novel written by Charles Dickens. The novel is set in a fictitious place called Coketown during Victorian Industrial period.

The book is filled with the mechanizing effects of Inustrialization. And the major proponent of this effect in the book is Mr. Gradgrind along with his follower, Bounderby.

Gradgrind, in his classroom, teaches a group of students that the facts are the true key to good education, and not imagination or emotions. His teachings have great effects on his students, especially seen in the life of Louisa and Tom, who became numb towards emotions and imaginations.

In chapter 1, of the novel, Gradgrind is seen teaching his students that the life should be governed solely by rules and facts, and not by imagination and emotions.

This teachings by Gradgrind turns his students into little machines who works according to the rules. Through the life of Gradgrind, Dickens managed to convey the message to its readers the dangers of human machines. Dickens is conveyiing that if humans became machine without emotions or imaginations, without love and compassion, the life in the societyy would become difficult.

In acts I and II of the tempest prospero interacts with ariel and caliban differently. which statement best describes his intera
ss7ja [257]

The correct answer is A.

Prospero's attitudes toward both Ariel and Caliban are those of a master. His magic gives him power over them, and he wields it differently. He had rescued Ariel from a treen in which he had been trapped by Sycorax, a witch who was Caliban's mother, before Prospero's arrival in the island. Prospero constantly reminds Ariel of this fact, and promises him eventual liberation; this combination of guilt and hope keeps Ariel motivated.

Prospero's attitude towards Caliban is much harsher. Caliban views Prospero as a usurper, while Prospero thinks of Caliban as little more than a monster, and threatens him with pain to keep him in line. Caliban taught Prospero how to survive on the island, while Prospero taught him language and religion, while making him his servant.
