In Hamadi how does Susan handle the problem of the story

English
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The Problem of Susan depicts its protagonist, Professor Hastings (who strongly resembles an adult version of Susan), dealing with the grief and trauma of her entire family’s death in a train crash, as she is interviewed by a college literature student regarding her opinion on Susan’s place in the Narnia books. Gaiman himself has said of the story that there is much in Lewis’s books that he loves, but each time he read them (or read them aloud to his own children) he found the disposal of Susan to be intensely problematic and deeply irritating. Dealing with this problem was one inspiration for the story, while the other was, in Gaiman’s own words “to talk about the remarkable power of children’s literature”. Hence Professor Hastings comments on “the Victorian notion of the purity and sanctity of childhood [which] demanded that fiction for children should be made… well… pure… and sanctimonious”. This observation is important because, while the story is primarily focused on the ‘problem of Susan’, through it Gaiman also illustrates that Lewis’s beliefs seem to be similar to those of the Victorians. Lewis’s Narnia tales are, on the surface, moralistic adventure books – but they also rely heavily on Christian allegory, and this is what Gaiman and other critics seem primarily to have taken issue with.

It is left ambiguous whether Susan’s absence from Narnia is permanent, especially since Lewis stated elsewhere that: “The books don’t tell us what happened to Susan. She is left alive in this world at the end, having by then turned into a rather silly, conceited young woman. But there’s plenty of time for her to mend and perhaps she will get to Aslan’s country in the end… in her own way”. What has caused Gaiman and other critics to question this is that Lewis is not consistent enough with his characterisation of Susan for his insistence upon her lack of faith (in Aslan, meaning Jesus) to be supported. Certainly, Susan is shown to be the most doubting character in the books. Upon first entering Narnia, she says, “I-I wonder if there is any point going on” and she also has a moment of doubt in Prince Caspian. In both instances, however, she overcomes her fears and in this sense doubts are part of her overall journey – indeed she is forgiven for them by Aslan. But Susan’s lack of faith and willingness to doubt do not emerge in the conversation wherein the Kings and Queens in The Last Battle discuss her exclusion from Narnia – she dismisses Narnia as “all those games we used to play as children”. Is Susan’s lack of belief in Narnia therefore linked, not to lack of faith, but to a different transgression – the desire to “grow up”? Or is it something else altogether?

Compare the perspectives of the narrator and her first employers regarding wages. What does this comparison reveal about how the
MAXImum [283]

Answers with Explanation:

1. Compare the perspectives of the narrator and her first employers regarding wages.

The narrator in the story views wage as <u><em>an important aspect when applying for a job</em></u>, especially when it comes to immigrant labor. The first employers, on the other hand, views asking a question about wages a sign of disrespect. They told Anzia that instead of thinking about wages, <u>she should be thankful to be associated with the Americans. </u>

2. What does this comparison reveal about how they view immigrant labor?

The narrator views immigrant labor as something that will free her from poverty and oppression. She thought that moving to another country, like America, would allow her the freedom to express herself and earn just amount of wage. However, for the employers, immigrant labor is something they take advantage of. They thought that they're superior than the immigrants, that's why they treat them with <u>harsh labor</u> and <u>long hours of work</u>.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the essay entitled "America and I," written by <em>Anzia Yazierska. </em>It focuses on Anzia's struggles in adopting the lifestyle of American people.

Is George correct or in Correct pls help.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

A. Yes, he is correct.

Explanation:

George is actually correct. This is true because from the distance coordinates that where given we have:

(2, 4) and (6, 3) where

(2, 4) represent the coordinates of the first point

(6, 3) represent the coordinates of the second point.

Mathematically, the coordinates are written as:

(x₁, y₁) for the first point.

(x₂, y₂) for the second point.

where x₁ = 2

           y₁ = 4

           x₂ = 6

           y₂ = 3

Distance = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

∴ d = √(6-2)² + (3-4)²    

   d  = √(4)² + (-1)²

    d = √16 + 1

    d = √17

Therefore, he is correct.

Distance is known to be a numerical measurement which ascertains  how far apart objects or points are.
