Read the passage from The Importance of Being Earnest.

Answer:

-Lady Bracknell says her maid is trustworthy but has to bribe her to get help.

-The names of the college and class seem reasonable to Gwendolen’s father.

-Lady Bracknell says it is wrong to be honest with her husband.

Explanation:

These three statements are meant to poke fun at the logic, or lack thereof, of Victorian society. They all use humour in order to portray a significant flaw in their society. In the first statement, Bracknell explains that her maid is trustworthy. However, she was still able to be bought by means of a small coin, which makes the statement ridiculous. The second sentence is similarly ironic. The name of the college and class are ludicrous, and they poke fun at the importance the characters give to money. However, these were reasonable to Gwendolen's father. Finally, Lady Bracknell is deceitful and dishonest with her husband, which she sees as a quality. This is similarly ridiculous, and it pokes fun at the dishonesty that was common in social relations during this time period.

What roles did newly arrived immigrants play in the economy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries?
Nata [24]
Newly arrived immigrants in some ways caused a lot of trouble to the economy. Especially for people who already lived in the area. One example of this is that immigrants created a lot of competition for jobs. Not to mention we didn't have t he money to fully support the ever growing amount of immigrants as well ( that why as many as 12 lived in 1 home).

After seeing how Job's friends treated him during his time of suffering, how will you treat a friend who is going through a diff
vampirchik [111]

When considering Job's friend's approach, first, one must take into account Job's current situation. He had lost all of his sons, his wealth, his health, and probably the respect of others around him and his friends did little or nothing to ease his pain. For example, when trying to comfort him, Bildad, said that if Job's son died, its because they were sinners or evil men and they deserved to die. Eliphaz hinted that Job was not a righteous man, and he was being punished by God, who doesn't value the good actions of his servants.

When reading their full speech, one can see how they not only failed to ease Job's suffering, but also contributed to increase it. Blaming him from his suffering, blaming god, or insinuating that god was cruel. A god that Job deeply believed in. If one could say that they did at least something right is that they stopped Job from feeling sorry of himself. And when the last of his friends Elihu stepped in he helped him to see the bigger picture. And how he could still be a good man, and be suffering, because he was not perfect, and he could make mistakes.

A better approach could have been starting with kind words, feeling truly sorry for his loss, helping him to see that his sons had no blame in what happened, and that god could still be there to support him. And when the time was right, help him to stop feeling sorry of himself, in a kind but strong way, as Elihu did.
