What is true of all predicates?

1 answer:

4 0

A lot of things can be said about the predicate: that it contains the complements of the subject, that it is the set of words to add sense to the subject, that it adds meaning to the whole sentence, that it is essential for a sentence to have a meaning, that it contains the action done in the sentence, etc. but what it is always true of all predicates is that there is no meaning in a sentence without a predicate.

Analize this simple sentence:

My mother works in a bank.

subject + predicate

if we separate the subject and the predicate and state them alone, which one conveys more meaning and therefore is more important?

if we say "my mother." we say practically nothing and we cannot imagine what could be next in meaning.

but if we say "works in a bank" we can guess who the subject is and then guess the whole meaning of the sentence.

Pygmalion

aniked [119]

Answer:

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) the versatile dramatist used contemporary social, political and religious problems as subjects for his plays. Pygmalion, perhaps the only one of his many plays in which he points out to his audience and his readers that he has used an ancient classical myth to explore a problem that is not merely contemporary but one that has lasted through time. This myth is the story of Pygmalion – Galatea which has been told and retold by several later writers in differing forms. In the most familiar version of this myth, Pygmalion was the king of Cyprus. He was also a great sculptor who used to make beautiful statues of bronze, marble and ivory. He was devoted to his art and always sought for perfection at any. Dressed in Opera Cloak with diamonds, fan, flowers and all other accessories she passes like a Duchess, creating sensation in the whole atmosphere. Nepummuck, the marvelous interpreter (and Higgins’ previous student also to whom he taught phonetics) identifies her as a Hungarian princess. Thus her success at the ambassador’s reception is overwhelming. But the experiment is followed by its aftermath. As euphoria of triumph is over, Eliza is faced with the stark reality. She has become disclassed, left unfit for her old life and unable for her old life and unable to forge a new one Eliza is tragic in her fear and despair. Higgins is also quite unsentimental and unromantic in his approach to Eliza. Looking to this attitude of Professor Higgins Eliza shouted on him asking; “What am I fit for? Where am I to go? What am I to do? What to become of me? Higgins’ this attitude of indifference drives her to Freddy, who worships her. Eliza leaves Higgins house and so takes decisive step into the future. Shaw explains the sexual attitude of Higgins towards Eliza in terms of the Oedipus Complex. In Appendix he says “If an imaginative boy has a suffering rich mother who has intelligence, personal grace, dignity of character without harshness and a cultivated sense of the best art of her time to enable her to make her house beautiful.

Lines 1-13: what does cans explanation that he does not wish to speak with Hanoi and the national liberation front rather to my

MrRa [10]

Question:

Line 1-13: What does King's explanation that he does "not wish to speak with Hanoi and the National Liberation Front, But rather to my fellow Americans" Suggest about his purpose in this speech? Why does King use the phrase "my fellow Americans"?

Answer:

Martin Luther King Jr. directed his speech to the American people in an attempt to point out the double standards of the American government and to generate support and empathy towards the cause for which he was already an advocate.

His logic was simple. If the soldiers can fight together, why couldn't' they live together as Americans?

Explanation:

Martin Luther King Jr. was a Civil Rights Spokesperson and Activist. He was an American Baptist preacher until he was assassinated.

The decision by Martin Luther King (MLK) to focus channel his speech towards the American people suggests that the purpose of the speech is to fight the ongoing racism which was prevalent at home.

He saw it as a double standard for the country to create a united military outside of the home front (black and white soldiers alike) when the same people would hardly live together on the same street back in America. His speech also called attention to the fact that it was the poor who were often conscripted into the Army. His speech purports that besides the ongoing racism in the nation, there was also discrimination against the poor folks.

In MLK's speech, he was not speaking to whites nor blacks, but to America. MLK's conviction was that America is for all whether they were Blacks, Whites, Hispanic, Indians, etc.

Cheers
