Answer:
Swift uses a false premise to create humor.
Explanation:
Ridiculous situations abound in Gulliver's travels and this is one of them. It is quite absurd that a man born blind could be versed in the art of painting. Having blind apprentices too supports this because they can't know what they are doing let alone teach someone else.
Of course the professor must be generally mistaken and the fraternity that elevates him must be one ridiculous lot.
The closest word in definition to tenacious would be;
“Decisive”
(Decisive means “producing a definite result”)
Both the stories are talking about education as a way of understanding, bridging the gap and enlightening people.
Explanation:
Both of these stories deal with fundamental theme of providing education of something to a people who do not have access to it.
“Teaching Shakespeare in a Maximum Security Prison” and “Village Schools and Traveling Soldiers" both are about people who are in either an undesirable position or in a difficult position and often do not get to study enough.
This is shown as a way to bridge the gap between them and the society and making them more enlightened. It is also about understanding their position as a people.
Answer:
I'm going to have fun with this.
Explanation:
I ran, and ran until there was nothing left but trees in sight. I ran through the woods, my heart pounding and my feet constantly slamming at the ground frantically. I was scared for my life because behind me was a killer. A killer who slaughtered everyone I ever loved and is now coming for me.
I cringed at every twig that broke, and every leaf that crunched beneath my feet because I knew he could hear me. The autumn wind was cold and relentless pushing me back as I pushed forward.
He came closer and closer to me and my heart raced higher with every step he took that was closer to me than before. I did not want to die. But I was helpless against him. I found a hollowed out tree and quickly sheltered within. I heard him run past me and I stayed quiet.
As soon as I knew he was gone, I cried and cried. Everyone I ever loved is dead, I am truly alone, and now I know that no man can be trusted.
