Here are three quotes from a character in The Princess Bride.

In this excerpt from act one scene VI of Macbeth Duncan praises the atmosphere of the castle and the hospitality of the hostess.

Ulleksa [173]

It’s considered ironic that he praises the castle atmosphere because the atmospheres is in actuality quite tense seeing as the Lord and Lady Macbeth are in disagreement about what to do with him. It’s also ironic because the Lady is hospitable but only in order to lower his guard so that she can kill him.

An article suitable for publication in your school magazine on the need to inculcate good moral value in the youth

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Morality is ethics or principles that make one stand out among the multitude and it is a means of assessing an individual's worth in any Society. Moral value therefore in our youth is what cannot be overemphasized in the youths. Youths of any country today are the leaders of tomorrow, as a result, there is the need to inculcate good moral in them I as the world has been bedevilled with a lot of immorality. Immorality is most common in our youths and if this menace is not curbed, it will further create anarchy in our environments and to its inhabitants. The need therefore to inculcate good moral value in our youths is a responsibility of not only the parents but the community as a whole.

Morality is what people look out for in every youth and every morally upright youth is a source of pride to his parents. Charity they say begins at home, and youth must be properly disciplined from childhood by his parents. The parents of such a child have little or nothing to worry about when he becomes a youth.

Another institution that needs to inculcate moral values in the youth is the community. The upbringing of a child in the African society is the total responsibility of the entire community members. The adults discipline a child with love when he misbehaves. More so, the government as in the case of Nigeria has discovered that youth without. ut moral will constitute a nuisance to the community. This we can see with the case of terrorism facing our nation the recent times. Thousands of lives have been lost and properties destroyed.

Furthermore, the government has seen that the most effective means of inculcating moral value in the. youth should start from the grass root. This has made the government introduce civic education into the school curriculum from primary education to tertiary. This is aimed at curbing the menace of terrorism, cultism, drug addiction, among others in the youth.

Besides, Religious groups and non-governmental organizations have seen the need to inculcate good moral values in the youth as a result of immorality which has taken over our society. Sermons have been preached and seminars organized to help advise the youth to dissociate themselves from groups that will not add positive values to their lives.

Principally, the role of the school precisely teachers and guidance and counselling department in instilling good moral value in the youth cannot be overlooked. Since youth spend more time at schools, they should be properly monitored so that they do not join bad peers. Youths should be properly disciplined by the school authorities and reported to the appropriate authorities for rehabilitation if found to have belonged to any such bad group.

Finally, failure to pay attention to the timing of youths has been the major cause of upheavals in our country. Our I youths should be engaged by our government and be made productive. A morally upright youth, therefore, is an asset to the nation at large.

4. How does the phrase "she was a floating city" impact the

Reptile [31]

Hello. You forgot to enter the text to which this question refers. The text is:

They stood four deep on the afterdeck of the Carpathia , chilled to the bone, staring out at nothing.

Dark water, light swells – no evidence that barely seven hours before, the largest and most magnificent ship the world had ever seen had sailed here in all her glory. The truth was nearly impossible to believe, perhaps the trick of an evil magician. The unsinkable RMS Titanic lay at the bottom of the sea, along with everyone who sailed in her, save the 706 souls rescued and now aboard the Carpathia .

“Look!”

The cry energized the exhausted throng. A flash of color among the endless waves. A survivor?

And then the swell turned over the item that stirred their frozen hearts with momentary hope. A deck chair. Nothing more.

How could this be? The Titanic was more than a steamship. She was a floating city, a sixth of a mile in length, and ninety feet abeam, 66,000 tons gross displacement. Was this piece of flotsam all that was left? How could so much have become so little?

A uniformed steward – no more than seventeen years old – tried to take the arm of a lady who was shivering in the folds of a Cunard Line blanket.

Answer:

The phrase shows how big, developed and imposing the ship was.

Explanation:

The phrase "she was a floating city" is used to describe the titanic's grandiosity and the surprise to see that such an imposing ship was reduced to broken pieces scattered throughout the ocean.

The author states that the Titanic was not just a ship, but a floating city, which means that the ship was large, populous, developed and well structured as a city should be. This means that the population was confident that something so imposing was safe and that they would have a perfect experience when traveling with this ship.
