<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The best meaning of venerable as it is used in the excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil," is </em><u><em>respected</em></u><em>. So the right answer would be option B. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

This short story by Hawthorne draws the picture of Puritan New England. The themes of morality, sin and repentance create the backdrop of this story and move through the entire plot. Mr. Hooper, the main character of the story helps in blending the themes so well from the beginning till the end. He dons a black veil to hide his secret sin and is fearful to look at any one. That is why the reaction of other people towards this venerable man changes. Hawthorne uses this reaction to criticize the Puritan image of original sin. The veil represents the inherent sinful nature of all people.

Answer:

Explanation:

Bullying. It is more then what we know. it all starts with you and the bully or are you the bully?. So let's talk about what a bully is, and how you are being one and, how to stop bullying and some factors of how to practice online and offline safe ways to stop bullying

So, what is a bully? Well a bully is someone a female or male who is either

Harming someone for a bad reason or they are just plain right to mean spirited and don't care, and think they can do whatever to anyone. Let's make this clear there are lots of bullies and at on point, you have been one. Well, you may have not known it because you weren't 100 percent aware of how you made someone feel when you did or said what you said. At most, you will say sorry work it out and even maybe become friends after that but for a bully, it's not the same case.

Bullies bully for a reason. So for one, it could be an outlet or even a cry for help. Maybe the person who is doing the bullying is going through a very hard time and his/ or she's outlet is bullying you. No this is not a good reason but, look at it from both ways. Your bully isn't just born this way, or maybe they have no heart and like to do whatever they want to which is still not okay.

So, let's look at some good ways to deal with a bully. Safe ways, so that no one gets hurt or bullied any more. This can be online and offline.

1- speak to adults- If this person is either in your school or close to where to live, let the older folks try to deal with it first

2- Do not stir up the pot. If the bully won't go away you walk away If they hit you self defense.

3- screenshot all the bad stuff they have said and then report this to the school or your parents at home.

4- Block or restrict this person's user from seeing or making bad comments about you online.

5- self-control may be hard but you need to remain calm unless you are hurt or this person has put hands on you.

Bullies come from a very hard and offsetting life. They seek the week but the strong. They will feed off of your weakness and, then keep doing it until you crack and fall. You may cry or even get scared of this person but, make sure you are doing everything you can to prevent it.

No, let's look at some ways you can help prevent bullying from happening,

1- see something say something- a lot of people are scared to speak up because they think they will then get bullied but no! If you help the bully will most likely stop.

2- confront the bully head-on in front of others- Do not be rude but be real and nice at the same time. Say stop and please

3- Do not join in- If someone is being bullied do not join in with the crowd. Be a leader, not a follower.

there are a lot of ways we can stop bullying

“Who is More Heroic: Odysseus, Penelope or some other character from the Odyssey?” Be sure to cite evidence from the text to sup
Juliette [100K]
In the Odyssey it is very clear that there are a lot of heroic charctors indubitably since the book is an epic. One character stands out as having the most noble and honorable trait that is Penelope she is an honorable and faithful wife who is waiting for odessyous return from the war. A scene in this book that demonstrates this best is when penople making Odessyous burial should while really its trying to prevent a marriage to another man on the island so she can remain true to Odessyous. You may say that she doesn't do much like save lives or slay giant Cyclopes but what makes a hero it's the noble qualities the deeds they do how they stand up for what they know is right therefore I say the must heroic hero is in fact Penelope.

Why is Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein considered a work of science fiction when it is a representative work of the gothic gen
kkurt [141]

Answer:

B. The novel suggests that technology can create a living creature from a dead body.

Explanation:

Remember that science fiction is characterized by having a content that is based in science. Remeber that although science theories are used or mentioned they are not followed in a rigorous way. The word <em>fiction </em>gives us a clue, the events and things that technology permits are created by the author's imagination. Some elements described or used can be possible according to actual science. In Frankestein, the doctor uses electricity, and stuff that resembles science to give life to dead bodies, in real life this doesn't work.

Write an account about a scary experience that you have had.​
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Have you ever had a scary experience? Or perhaps you would like to share with us a hair-raising adventure you've had... It is funny how we tend to remember unpleasant experiences more often than cheerful ones. However, the most important thing is that we learn something from these experiences so we wouldn't have to go through them again. Asking ourselves these questions can help us avoid such unnecessary situations.

If there was something you would have done differently during this situation, what would it have been?

Were you the one to blame for this experience or did you find yourself thrown in the middle of it?

How could you have avoided this frightening experience in the first place?

Explanation:

A Frightening Experience

Last year I went to my grannies’ house because my parents were at work. I had to sleep there. The weather was terrible, raining with thunder storms.

As my grandparents and I were eating dinner, a bolt of lightning hit a tree that was just under the kitchen window. The tree caught fire immediately. Since the kitchen curtain was flying outside because of the wind, it soon caught fire too and in a split of a second, flames were dancing all around the kitchen. We could not escape through the kitchen. My grandparents hugged me and protected me in the corner, praying that someone would notice the fire and come to rescue us. We were very frightened.

My grandmother and I searched for the telephone but unfortunately we could not find it since it had been burnt. The neighbours saw the house burning and called the police and firemen. They came immediately. While firemen tried to stop the fire, the broom cupboard fell on my grandfather ‘s head. He fell unconscious, my grandmother and I started crying for my grandfather. About half an hour late the firemen stopped the fire and came in the house to save us. The police called my parents, and an ambulance for my grandfather. Finally it was all over.

This was my most frightening experience and I wish that it will also be my last one. I never felt so scared in my life.
