Answer:

Explanation:

The soliloquy is from Act III scene i of the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare. This scene is a follow up of the previous scenes of prince Hamlet's revenge plans for King Claudius' act of murdering King Hamlet.

In the soliloquy, Hamlet is debating whether it will be better to die than do the gruesome and detestable act of killing the King, his step father /uncle. His conflicting interest to see his father's murderers to be put to death against the actual deed of committing murder himself left him contemplate sui cide, a dilemma within himself. He begins to think of death and how it is just a mere "sleep", for in dying, no one really dies but sleep peacefully.

These reflections on death, dying and sleeping, getting dreams all stem from the very fact that he wanted to see about justice for his father's death. But he also could not do anything as the main accused was his step father and uncle, who, if killed, will leave his mother in pain again. he talks of the many 'negatives' of being who he is,

"For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, 

Th' oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely, 

The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay, 

The insolence of office, and the spurns 

That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,"

Why do you think that Warren Brown includes the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx when he was three years ol

alexira [117]

Answer with Explanation:

1. Why do you think that Warren Brown includes the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx when he was three years old?

Warren Brown included the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx in order to show that he was brought up in a black community until he was three years old. It also shows how he grew up in a better-living area compared to that of the Harlem. The Bronx contained many immigrants and it this is where Colin was raised. This allowed Colin to mingle with different nationals and not mind the color of his skin.

2. What does this suggest about his parents?

This suggested that his parents (Luther and Maud) were concerned about rearing their children in a nicer community rather than the Harlem. They wanted Colin and Marylin to grow up with "confidence" and "discipline." They wanted the best for their children.

What effect does the word head have on the meaning of this passage?

Serggg [28]

The word head in the given passage demonstrates how intelligent Benjamin was.

Explanation:

The following passage from The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the one you were given:

My elder brothers were all put apprentices to different trades. I was put to the grammar-school at eight years of age, my father intending to devote me, as the tithe of his sons, to the service of the Church. My early readiness in learning to read (which must have been very early, as I do not remember when I could not read), and the opinion of all his friends, that I should certainly make a good scholar, encouraged him in this purpose of his. My uncle Benjamin, too, approved of it and proposed to give me all his short-hand volumes of sermons, I suppose as a stock to set up with if I would learn his character. I continued, however, at the grammar-school not quite one year, though in that time I had risen gradually from the middle of the class of that year to be the head of it, and farther was removed into the next class above it, in order to go with that into the third at the end of the year.

The options you were given are the following:

It demonstrates how intelligent he was.
It indicates he would be a good preacher.
It shows he was a favorite of the teachers.
It reveals how self-important he was.

The word head in the given context demonstrates how intelligent Benjamin was. The head of a class is a student with the best grades, so based on that, we can conclude that he was a smart and hardworking student. The best student doesn't have to be the teachers' favorite. A student's grades in no way indicate that they may become a good preacher. Besides that, making a statement about their accomplishments doesn't make one self-important.
