“Modern readers will benefit from reading novels such as Rudyard Kipling’s Kim.” Write a short argument either for or against th

Aliun [14]

If you agree with the claim, you might include some of the following points in your answer:

One major purpose of reading literature and literary fiction is to expand one's horizons. A novel such as Kim encourages readers to construct a mental picture or an understanding of a different culture.
While many details may be challenging to understand, readers can always refine their reading of the novel with research about the setting. In the process, they are likely to come away with useful facts or insights.
The novel has a timeless appeal as a coming-of-age story and as a tale of adventure and intrigue.
The novel explores issues of identity in a setting where people of different races mix together. These issues are relevant in today's world.
Novels such as Kim allow readers an opportunity to examine alternative viewpoints on topics of social and historic importance (such as life in a colonized country and the relationship between the rulers and the natives) and compare their viewpoints and attitudes to those of a writer from a different period.

If you disagree with the claim, you might include some of the following points in your answer:

For readers who seek literature that offers insight into their life experience, a novel set in India at the turn of the century lacks relevance.
The enjoyment of reading a novel such as Kim may be significantly diminished because most readers cannot relate to a protagonist with a social identity very different from their own.
Contextual details and topical references in such a novel are likely to be lost on modern readers. They are unlikely to follow plot details that rely on the context. They may also miss important nuances in the writing because of the unfamiliar setting.
Kim is written from the viewpoint of an author who accepted colonization. To modern readers, the writing seems to lack sensitivity to the concerns of people living in a colonized country.

Question

Among the various adaptations to aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, and stretching exercise which one is the most important adaptation for you and why?

Answer:

For me. it's Aerobic Exercises.

They have profound benefits such as:

giving one a strong heart
reducing body fat
preventing miscellaneous diseases
ensures proper blood circulation and a healthy circulatory system
Keeps the respiratory system in good shape and
improves psychological health

Explanation:

Strong heart

An adult heart has to pump approximately 6,000-7,500 liters of blood daily. That translates to about 2.1 million liters annually. That's a huge amount. The heart by its nature is designed to carry out this functionality if it remains in top shape. One way to keep it healthy is by ensuring that it's always performing at optimal capacity is to keep it excercised by performing aerobics.

2. Prevents health problems

When the body is exercised there are ailments that become preventable or even curable. They are:

high blood pressure
arthritis,
type-2 diabetes etc

3. Reduces Body Fat

Unnecessary body fat is the main reason behind many cardiovascular problems. A fat body is an ideal host for diseases. Bulky bodies are more vulnerable to diseases. Aerobic exercise is the most effective way to reduce not only calories but also unnecessary body fats.

4. Prevents Block in Arteries

Maintaining a healthy weight is critical to one's health. Obesity can trigger lots of ailments such as High Blood Pressure, Type 2 diabetes, depression, etc. When the intake of fats is too high, it may lead to blocks in arteries, This, in turn, creates severe heart problems and can even lead to death by heart failure. Exercising helps to shed excessive weight.

5. Strengthens the Respiratory System

The body needs a consistent supply of our body needs a sufficient amount of oxygen. Regular aerobic routines ensure that every part of the body gets sufficient oxygen thus generating more strength and stamina.

6. Boosts Your Mood

Bodily health and psychological health are different sides to a coin.

It is important for the mind to function optimally as much as the body too. Aerobic exercises helps to keep the mind in a good mood.

Cheers
