Which of the following best summarizes a central theme of the text IF by rudyard kipling

English
1 answer:
Helen [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: Growing up is complicated and challenging, but is ultimately worth it for what can be accomplished.

Explanation:

In his poem "If", Rudyard Kipling is advising the younger generations about some situations and possibilities through their life, by encouraging them spiritually and morally to go through their growing up period patiently and proudly, because at the end they will grow up and be decent and honest people: "Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, / And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!"

The author appreciates honesty and patience, where he acts as a father figure, and advises his younger audience to pursue their dreams, but without losing their grasp on reality.

When the general had said ""you have won the game."" Were there any alternatives to killing Zaroff?
romanna [79]

Answer:

Killing should never really be considered to be justified whether in a work of fiction or not; however, Rainsford was in a position of kill or be killed.  The whole thing is a case of kill or be killed, essentially self defense.  I guess it depends on how you view that type of thing, but in my opinion, if Rainsford had not killed Zaroff, then he would have undoubtedly died.  Therefore, yes I believe he was justified in his decision.

As with all interpretive questions, your answer is based upon your own reading of the story and how you analyze the plot and characters.  Rainsford had escaped Zaroff, and won the game.  There was no reason to return to the masion and kill Zaroff except to exact revenge.  Consider that Rainsford himself is a hunter, used to being in power.  Although he had never considered doing something as inhumane as Zaroff in hunting humans, his choice to kill Zaroff reveals his need to be in control.  In this case, his killing of Zaroff isn't about justice, but about revenge.

On the other hand, there is nothing to suggest Zaroff would have quit hunting humans.  He was a static character, who didn't change even when he "lost" the hunt of Rainsford.  In this reading, the audience can interpret that Rainsford is doing his part for mankind by eliminating the threat of the murderer Zaroff.  After all, on this island, there is no justice system by which to prosecute him.

You will need to choose the answer that best supports your understanding of the characters.

Which of the following is an example of a sentence that uses parallel structure?  She plays games all night long and sleeping in
dsp73
The last one has parallel sentence structure. What that means is that the verbs in the sentence have the same structure (in this case "she plays/sleeps" - they both end in -s). You might also notice that if you read them all out loud, the other three sound somewhat strange.
