Excerpt 2: It is nothing like the schooling Gogol’s parents have known, fountain pens and polished black shoes and notebooks and good names and sir or madam at a tender age.

The statement that best tells how the main conflict in the first excerpt is different from the main conflict is "The first shows an internal conflict related to emotion, while the second shows an external conflict related to cultural differences".

<em>The Namesake</em> is a novel written by Jhumpa Lahiri. It tells the story of a Bengali couple who moves to the United States and the way in which they deal with the social and religious differences between the two cultures. <u>The first excerpt presents an internal conflict related to an emotion because the character is struggling against his own thoughts and mainly against his fear of being Nikhil</u>. On the other hand<u>, the second excerpt</u> shows an external conflict related to cultural differences because <u>the narrator is referring to the dissimilarities between the American and the Bengali culture in terms of education</u>. In other words, in contrast to the first excerpt, the second excerpt  is making reference to an outside force.

In classic and contemporary literature what does it mean to be immortal
spayn [35]
Plain and simple, it means not having to die. The fear and the enigma of death is one of the most ancient and persisting human obsessions, that has been the subject of countless mythological stories and written pieces of literature.

In classic Greek and Roman literature, gods were immortal by definition. But there is also an interesting story about Cumaean Sybil, a priestess who was pursued by Apollo. When he promised to grant her one wish if she would yield to him, she asked to live eternally. But then she changed her mind and refused Apollo, who left her to decay alive, as she didn't ask for eternal youth.

In contemporary literature, there are numerous examples of fascination with the so-called "undead" - vampires, aliens, and other uncanny creatures.

Give your thoughts on the translation process. What are its implications? Its upsides and downsides?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

  1. Translation is very important in the process of making proteins. Proteins allow your body to do everything so this process is very important.
  2. Implication: the fact or state of being involved in or connected to something
  3. An implication is something that is suggested, or happens, indirectly. When you left the gate open and the dog escaped, you were guilty by implication. Implication has many different senses. Usually, when used in the plural, implications are effects or consequences that may happen in the future.
  4. You help an elderly person cross the street - positive - they gave you money.
  5. You didn't study for your test - negative - you failed your test and got a 40%.
