Obedience and control is a recurring theme of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. Which line in this excerpt from act 1 of the play r

eflect this theme?
HELMER: Nora, Nora, and you would be a party to that sort of thing? To have any talk with a man like that, and give him any sort of promise? And to tell me a lie into the bargain?

Nora. A lie—?

HELMER: Didn't you tell me no one had been here? (Shakes his finger at her) My little songbird must never do that again. A songbird must have a clean beak to chirp with--no false notes! (Puts his arm round her waist) That is so, isn't it? Yes, I am sure it is. (Lets her go) We will say no more about it. (Sits down by the stove) How warm and snug it is here! (Turns over his papers.)

NORA (After a short pause, during which she busies herself with the Christmas Tree): Torvald!

HELMER: Yes.

NORA: I am looking forward tremendously to the fancy-dress ball at the Stenborgs' the day after tomorrow.

HELMER: And I am tremendously curious to see what you are going to surprise me with.

Answer: My little songbird must never do that again. A songbird must have a clean beak to chirp with--no false notes!

"A Doll's House" deals with the topic of obedience. Moreover, it discusses the differences in gender roles between men and women. In this excerpt, Nora is compared to a "songbird." She is scolded for lying, and is told that, because she is a songbird, she should not engage in that kind of deception. This shows not only that lying is wrong, but more importantly, that Nora is expected as a woman to be obedient, and follow the behaviour that Helmer thinks is better.

Read the stanza aloud two ways – once with rhythm and once without rhythm.
salantis [7]

When we read the poem with rhythm, we can better appreciate its rhymes and structure, and the beauty of the story also seems to be enhanced, as explained below.

<h3>What is rhythm?</h3>

In poetry, we can think of rhythm just like we do when it comes to music. The number of syllables in each line as well as the rhymes allow us to read the poem with a certain pace, a cadence. That pace is rhythm.

When we read “The Song of Wandering Aengus” without paying attention to rhythm, we can still understand what the poem is about. However, much of its beauty is lost.

When we pay attention to rhythm while reading the poem, we can better appreciate its structure and rhymes. The beauty is enhanced as we "sing" the poem, reading each line in the pace the poet intended them to be read.

Some people want school to start later. Others are against this. What do the two groups say? What do you think? Explain your ans
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Well in my opinion, people that start schools later have more time to get their 9 hours of sleep and because of this they can function better with having plenty of rest. People like to argue that it wouldn’t be a good idea because people have work early in the mornings and wouldn’t be able to take their kids to school later. It’s been proven that the people who get more hours of sleep can take in more knowledge than others that don’t.
