QveST [7]

The theme developed in the story is about "Truth and Lies". •Story explores whether lying is sometimes justifiable. •Kevin tells

truth to Waldo that father helped with Latin homework and is punished for it –ironic, since particularly in strict Catholic school, lying would be considered a sin and truth something to be encouraged and rewarded instead of punished. •Kevin lies to father that Latin was fine and is rewarded by father feeling relieved because he “was a bit worried about it” and has not hurt father’s pride in academic ability nor made him feel guilty as might be if knew that Kevin had been caned for his wrong answers. • Kevin “laughed and slipped his hand into the warmth of his father’s overcoat pocket, deep to the elbow”. Story ends showing happiness and closeness of Kevin’s relationship with father intact, which would not be case if he had told truth; author inviting reader to decide whether lying sometimes justifiable, therefore.

What does the speaker suddenly see and hear in the poem?
Vlad [161]

The speaker suddenly saw a thrush singing a song.

Explanation:

The Darkling Thrush is a english poem written by Thomas Hardy. The speaker in this poem describes about the cause for despair and hoplessness.

The speaker suddenly saw a thrush(bird) singing a beautiful and hopeful song and it knows something more than the speaker.

The bird was old, skinny and small with his feathers rumpled by the wind. The thrush's appearance in the poem suggests a solution to the cultural decay that the speaker tells in the first half of the poem.

Are beauty contests a good thing for young girls?
Marina86 [1]

it's wrong, and part of premature sexualising of young girls. There may be some good things that girls learn from this, but they learn a whole lot more bad stuff, like excessive vanity, a money hungry attitude, and the backstabbing and cattiness that often goes on among the mothers.
