Answer:

Writers use in-text citations <u>in order to refer to, summarize, paraphrase or quote another source.</u>

Explanation:

When writing, authors sometimes refers to text from another writers, or quote someone who said something that could help understand what he or she is trying to expose in his or her own text. In order to make clear that that is another person's idea, they use in-text citations. For every in-text citation, there should be a corresponding entry in the reference list. There, authors usually put the other author's name and last name and the year of publication, for example.

Why was macbeth a bad king explain?

Ket [755]

I think that this is a very hard question to answer. I think that many kings, fictional or not, possess both the bad and good traits of being a king.

In regards to Macbeth, he certainly possessed the ambition many would wish for a king. He was brave, as noted by Duncan and the title of the Thane of Cawdor. He was protective, as noted by his murder of Banquo. Macbeth was even proud, as seen by his desire to keep the new title of Thane before taking the crown.

Unfortunately, many of the characteristics one would align with being a good king made Macbeth a bad king as well. Macbeth was too ambitious--as seen by his murdering Duncan. He was too protective--as seen by his inability to interpret the apparitions warnings in the correct way. Lastly, he was too proud--as seen by his refusal to leave the castle as Birnam Wood "moved" against him.

Like anything, one must always have control. Too much of anything normally turns out to be a bad thing. Therefore, depending upon one's individual views, Macbeth could be both a bad king or a good one.

BTW: It's free real estate.

Which two themes are evident in Robert Frost’s poem “The Road not Taken”?

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The path of tradition is the most trusted path.

Choices play a key role in shaping your life.

Explanation:

These are the two themes that are expressed in the poem. Frost tells us that the path of tradition is the most trusted one, because we learn that this is the path most people take. The path is more travelled, and easy to see. We also learn that choices play a key role in shaping your life because Frost tells us that the fact that he chose the road that was less travelled by "has made all the difference."

What reason does Scrooge give for not believing he is actually seeing Marley

Inga [223]

Answer:

Scrooge believes Marley's ghost is the result of an indigestion. He says "You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!".
