Answer:

She decides to close the house because she believes that the house is doing harm to her children and believes that the parents cannot compete with the efficiency of the house.

Children will not react well to this decision.

Explanation:

This question is related to the short story "The Veldt" that tells about a family that moves to a technologically technological home that efficiently does all the tasks that someone might need, including the simplest ones like tying shoes and bathing children .

As the house is highly self-sufficient and computerized, the children's parents are not concerned with educating them or meeting their needs, since the house takes care of that. Children love the home, but they are growing up rude and with some symptoms of psychological problems which makes parents worry. The mother, Lydia, decides to close the house and move to a common house, because she is concerned about the children's situation. However, children love the house and will not react calmly, as shown at the end of the short story.

I think that society would have less ridiculous beauty standards. And I think people would become more humble towards each other; if we see ourselves less, we think less about our looks. We look to the less superficial aspects of life. Hope this helps, I'd write more, but I wouldn't want to rant ;)

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Othello fits the description of a tragic hero.

Explanation:

A hero is a character who has the ability to accomplish great things. A tragic hero is no different, since he has this ability. However, the great deeds of a tragic hero result in suffering and the disgrace of him and those around him.

Othello is a perfect example of a tragic hero, since his actions lead to himself and the people he loves death. Othello causes misfortune by acting out of jealousy, arrogance, lack of critical sense, remorse and impulsiveness. This all causes very bad effects through great actions.
