Lastly, in lieu of these shifting scenes, came back the rude market-place of the Puritan settlement, with all the townspeople as

sembled and levelling their stern regards at Hester Prynne,—yes, at herself,—who stood on the scaffold of the pillory, an infant on her arm, and the letter A, in scarlet, fantastically embroidered with gold thread, upon her bosom! What is the effect of the underlined words in this excerpt?

Answer:

Is repetitive and argumentative.

Explanation:

The effect of the underlined words: -yes, at herself- is repetitive and argumentative at the same time. Since in saying "to herself" she is saying the same thing but in other words and at the same time, she argues and reinforces what she says so that she understands more what she means. By saying "to herself" leads the reader to what is being said about the person.

Answer:

The correct answer that shows that American Indians wanted to make peace with European colonists is B. "Being after some time of entertainment and gifts, dismissed, a while after he came again, and 5 more with him, and they brought again all the tools that were stolen away before, and made way for the coming of their great Sachem, called Massasoyt; who, about 4 or 5 days after, came with the chief of his friends and other attendance, with the aforesaid Squanto."

Explanation:

The said excerpt shows that American Indians were trying to make peace with the Europeans because first of all they brough gifts and returned the tools that had been stolen. Moreover, they even brought their Sachem, a paramount chief and returned later with more chiefs. Both actions seem like a reparation of things being stolen in order to soothe the relationship and then bringing their chiefs as a sign of respect to negotiate peace with the colonists.

Hi have you read ana Frank? well if you did i need your help... in act 1 sence 3
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Scene 3 starts out with everyone anticipating Mr. Franks signal that everything is fine and that they can break the silence. They don't want to be found, of course. When everything is clear, everyone is relieved. Anne takes Peter's shoes and he chases after her, and ends up getting angry. Peter goes to his room and Anne leaves him alone. Anne talks about how after all day, she just want to move around and dance, and that "there's something wrong with that boy [Peter]." Anne's father dances with her.

Peter feels ashamed when his mother is teasing him about his "little girl-friend" (Anne). The conversation is shifted when Mr. Frank comments how Miep is running a little late. Then, everyone hears a car outside screech. Everyone stops what they're doing to listen. But they hear it driving away, and everyone is relieved. Anne comes out of Peter's room after feeding his cat, and is wearing his clothes. Everyone is amused seeing her, and seeing Peter so angry. Peter calls her Mrs. Quack Quack, trying to distract the others with this. Anne and Peter continue to pester for a while.

Mrs. Frank thinks that Anne has a fever, but decides she's all right. Mr. Van Daan come into the room. They discuss their school work. After Anne asks Mrs. Van Daan if she can try on her coat, they start talking about boys and Mr. Van Daan seems like he's heard all about these stories too many times. Anne and Mr. Van Daan get into a little argument when he's looking for his pipe. Anne accidentally spills milk on Mrs. Van Daan's special coat. Mrs. Van Daan is absolutely furious. The Franks have a conversation about how Anne should be more like her sister, Margot, who is always kind to the guests. Anne is angry with this idea.

Miep finally arrives and everyone gives her their list of things they need. Mr. Kraler arrives as well, which is a surprise to everyone. His visit is rare, but he is a very likable person. He come with some news, that another Jew, a dentist, is in trouble, and needs somewhere to hide. He asks them if he could stay with them.  They discuss where the new guest would sleep for the few days he is there. Dussel, the new guest, meets everyone. Mr. Kraler says that he helps them because he doesn't like the Nazis telling the Dutch what to with Jews. Anne tells Dussel that they are sharing a room since space is tight.

While Anne and Dussel are going to sleep, they talk a bit, and Dussel tells her that he will have to get used to having a room mate since he has no one. Anne tells him the protocols and schedule. Dussel tells her he gets along with children well, so she won't have to worry. They talk and get to know each other a little bit, and get along just fine.

The scene ends.

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength? Why? 5-8 sentences
elena55 [62]
Answer: I think crying is a sign of strength, as it’s a natural sign of emotion for human being’s. Some people find it hard to express their feelings, as they might be worried of what others might think. While others, mostly men, have to go through society, as society thinks that man should not cry, if they do they are weak or simply “not a man”. This usually happens to males at a very young age, which gives them a mindset to not cry, or therefore they are not “ strong”. Other people usually get bullied by it, getting to be known as a “ crybaby”.many others think it’s a weakness when it’s a natural human response, and example is a baby. A baby cries whenever they need something because that’s the only way they can communicate, which helps alert their guardian to give them what they need. Some people cry as a source to release stress or piled up feelings. I think crying is an incredible way to express feelings, thats why I think it is a strength instead of a weakness.
