Inductive reasoning is the opposite of deductive reasoning. On one side, deductive reasoning begins with a general statement or idea, then evaluates and analyses the chances to arrive to a logical conclusion. On the other, inductive reasoning creates wide generalizations based on particular observations. Basically, there is information, and then conclusions are made based on that information.
In the case of Marco, he makes a particular observation (many people wear boots on the street), and then arrives to a conclusion (he assumes that boots are cool), so he decides to go with that (he buys himself a pair of boots).
Answer:
In the poem “Life is Fine”, italicized lines work as the narrators reasons as to why he should not harm himself. The temperature of the water and how high up the elevator had taken him were decisions on why not to harm himself.
The italicized lines effect the way the poem looks and sounds by giving the words emphasis and a sense of imagery. For example, stating how high the 16th floor had shocked him and the temperature of the water.
The rhythm is affected by the repetition of lines and the inclusion of blues lyrics.
In relation to the content in the lines, the effects result in evoking a mournful tone and tempo. Such effects are common in the blues genre of music.
Answer:
Rappaccini said these lines.
Explanation:
Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Rappaccini's daughter" tells the story of a scientist Giacomo Rappaccini who selfishly kept his daughter Beatrice confined with him in his experimentation with poisonous plants. Along the way, she also became poisonous for other people, herself being immune to the poison of the plants.
Beatrice had began to love a young man named Giovanni, but is fatal for him. She wants to be with him but hadn't realized that he had also became just like her. The excerpt is from when Rappaccini asked her why she claimed to be miserable when she had been endowed with something that no one else has. He could not understand why Beatrice wants to be like a "<em>weak woman, exposed to all evil, and capable of none</em>". According to him, he had given her the greatest gift of being able to withstand any poison but can be destructive over others, whereas she wants to be like other women who can love openly and be like them.
Angela Vicario is in many ways the main character of the story. She is the most quoted character in the novel, and has the strongest narrative voice. In addition, she is center of the mystery that the narrator is trying to unravel, since she is the only one who knows whether or not Santiago was truly the one who took her virginity, and she remains enigmatic at the end of the story because she never reveals whether or not he was guilty.
Angela Vicario is a distant cousin of the narrator. As a young girl, she was the most beautiful of her four sisters. However, the narrator says she had a "helpless air and a poverty of spirit that augured an uncertain future for her." She used to sit in the window of her house, making cloth flowers, and the narrator thought she looked more and more destitute every year. He says that her "penury of spirit had been aggravated by the years," so much so that when people discovered that Bayardo San Roman wanted to marry her, they thought it was an outsider's plan.
