Actually, the right answer is the B) The sea burial of Scyld Scefing. The first scene of this anonymous poem takes place at Scyld's funeral. Scyld was the legendary founder of the Scylding Dynasty. The first lines of the poem refer to his arrival at Denmark as an abandoned child, in a boat adrift, and his transformation into a superb and fearless king, who subjugated many peoples. When he died, his beloved and loyal warriors put his body in a boat, as he himself had requested, filled with precious objects (weapons, jewelry) from distant lands. They also placed a gold banner in it, and with true sorrow, bade him farewell while the waves slowly carried his boat away.

What is “the other”? Who are “the others” in Maycomb? What roles do race, class, and gender play in establishing who is the othe
Rufina [12.5K]

Harper Lee provides a vivid description of life in Maycomb, which is ruled by a strict system of social cues and hierarchy. There is a clear division between those who "belong" to the town, and the "others," which are clearly undesirable to the rest of the population, even when not stated out in the open.

The less desirable people all have traits that do not match the stereotype of a perfect Southern citizen. One way in which this is expressed, perhaps the most relevant one, is racial prejudice. Black people are "others," as they are considered inferior to the rest of the population.

Another example is that of the Radley family. Due to Boo Radley's mental situation, the family is shunned and their interactions with others are very restricted. Gossip and superstition play a big part in their lives, as people exchange stories about the fate of Boo Radley, and he becomes something of an urban legend.

Other stereotypes are also present, such as the idea of black men always going after white women. This stereotype causes an irrational fear among the population which makes it impossible to conduct a fair trial.

Svetach [21]


B: The emergency <em>lights</em> atop the fire trucks <em>were</em> flashing. Lights is your noun and were acts like your verb.

for A it should be: The exhibits on the lower level are not currently open to the public.

for C it should be: That man, wearing sunglasses, seems to be an undercover police officer.

for D it should be: Perry, like his younger sister Pauline, writes very neatly.


Hopefully this helped and good luck.

Write an essay about the thesis of Romeo and Juliet. Use information from the play or book.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

the start of the play, Romeo is a hopeless romantic, That is to say, He is in love with his enemy's daughter 1 day after breaking up with his first love, for example, at the start of the play when Romeo is talking with Benvolio, Romeo says: “bid a sick man in sadness make his will- a word ill urg’d to one that is so ill: in sadness, cousin, i do love a woman.” He is saying that he is in love with Rosaline but a couple days later he is in love with juliet, he say this to juliet: “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss” He confessing love for juliet even though he just broke up Rosaline, this shows me that Romeo falls for people to easily and he is hopeless romantic who doesn’t understand …show more content… When Romeo finds out about Juliet’s death, he rushes to her tomb only to find paris, kills him, finds juliet and then kills himself. For example, by the end of act 5 he says; “O my love, my wife, Death, that hath suck’d the honey honey of thy breath, Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.” He is explaining how he loves her and she didn’t need to die. Another example is; “Here’s to my love! O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss i die.” He has killed himself over a girl he barely knew. This shows me that Romeo is being dramatic and foolish when he kill paris and himself. In conclusion, Romeo is a foolish young boy who overreacts when a girl he just me dies. In conclusion of this entire essay, Romeo is a victim of fate, Romeo is a rash and emotional young man. He feels deeply and acts quickly, often without thinking through his actions. His attitude towards love is over-enthusiastic. Romeo believes that love is what makes life worthwhile, which is why he is so desperate to be in love. He stays in love with Rosaline, even after she rejects him, up to the point when he falls in love with Juliet.
