Under the guidance of my new preceptors I entered with the greatest diligence into the search of the philosopher's stone and the

elixir of life; but the latter soon obtained my undivided attention. Wealth was an inferior object, but what glory would attend the discovery if I could banish disease from the human frame and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death! Which lines from the text most clearly suggest that the narrator will fight against nature

Answer:

"Wealth was an inferior object, but what glory would attend the discovery if I could banish disease from the human frame and render man invulnerable to any but a violent death! "

Explanation:

Death and illness is a natural part of life and part of the nature of human beings. When the narrator of the text shown above states that he wants to fight disease and eliminate the natural death of human life, he is showing that he wants to fight against nature. This shows a type of conflict very common in literature, the conflict "character versus nature", where the human being in the face of his limitations seeks ways to defeat natural things and make them not be a problem in his life.

Explain how the way Charlie’s character changes makes the plot go in a circle. Think about where Charlie starts and where he end
ludmilkaskok [199]

If the character starts and ends in the same place, the plot has gone in a circle.  For example, if Charlie was having problems with his teacher at the beginning of the story, and the story talks about the many weeks he has tried to fix these problems, yet the story ends with him still not resolving these problems, the plot had gone in a circle.  There is not resolution, no ending, no fix.

What is the author’s point of view and purpose in “Diary 33” from The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell and the Freedom Writ
labwork [276]
<span>Diary 33" has a confident and righteous tone. This tone helps the reader understand the personality or the voice of the author: she knows exactly what she's going to do and nothing is going to stop her. When she sees the little girl and the mother, her certainty is shaken. The tone also changes, becoming more unsure and less confident, which makes the reader aware of her moral dilemma. The imagery of the little girl and the crying mother helps the reader see how emotional the moral dilemma is for the author. In "Diary 24," the voice is informal and honest, which encourages the reader to trust the author. The tone ranges from sarcastic to frustrated, and the author addresses the audience as his equal.</span>
