The Swimmers by F. Scott Fitzgerald (excerpt) He floundered in the water. It went into his nose and started a raw stinging; it b

linded him; it lingered afterward in his ears, rattling back and forth like pebbles for hours. The sun discovered him, too, peeling long strips of parchment from his shoulders, blistering his back so that he lay in a feverish agony for several nights. After a week he swam, painfully, pantingly, and not very far. The girl taught him a sort of crawl, for he saw that the breast stroke was an obsolete device that lingered on with the inept and the old. Choupette caught him regarding his tanned face in the mirror with a sort of fascination, and the youngest boy contracted some sort of mild skin infection in the sand that retired him from competition. But one day Henry battled his way desperately to the float and drew himself up on it with his last breath.
How does the author reveal the setting of the story in this passage?
by mentioning a skin infection
by referring to "strips of parchment"
by referring to "feverish agony"
by mentioning water and sand

Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of the Ceremony of Ones. What is one benefit? What is one negative consequ
miss Akunina [59]

Answer and Explanation:

The Ceremony of Ones has the advantages of providing children to couples who are interested and who for some reason are unable to have biological children or have had to deal with the death of their biological children. This allows children to be adopted by a couple who want them and who will promote a happy and pleasant home, where the child is protected and well taken care of. The disadvantage of this ceremony is the contempt that children with disabilities receive, as they are prevented from having the chance to be delivered to a couple who can take care of them, because these children are discarded to other places, regardless of their needs and feelings .

Reread lines 40-54 of "The Wanderer." To whom or what does the phrase alone
Vsevolod [243]

The phrase applies to an exiled man.

We can reach this conclusion because:

  • "The Wanderer" is an Anglo-Saxon poem that portrays the disadvantages of being an exiled person.
  • The poem presents a man who has been removed from his people and now walks without any company.
  • The poem shows how difficult this life of solitude is, because, besides the lack of company, man lives without love and no one to count on.
  • However, this man has great faith and believed that all the suffering he is experiencing will pass one day.

By this, when the speaker says "alone and unloved," he is referring to the way the exiled man lives.
