State the speaker of the following quote, "You don’t know the meaning of the word ‘liberating’ until you’ve done that, stood in

a roomful of targets, let the bullets fly, free of guilt and remorse, knowing you are virtuous, good, and decent. Knowing you’re doing God’s work. It’s breathtaking." What is ironic about the meaning of the word liberating and his concept of "doing God’s work"?

The speaker of this quote is Assef. He has become a Taliban official, and in these lines, he explains what he believes is the work of the Taliban. He argues that, by working with the Taliban, he feels "liberated." He also tells us that he believes his actions (murder, destruction, etc.) are the work of God. These statements are ironic because we do not normally associate the work of God with suffering and destruction. The statement is meat to demonstrate how the Taliban has twisted the ideas of Islam to its benefit.

See where she comes from shrift with merry look.

NURSE

Look, she’s come home from confession with a happy look on her face.

CAPULET

How now, my headstrong? Where have you been gadding?

CAPULET

So, my headstrong daughter, where have you been?

JULIET

Where I have learned me to repent the sin

15Of disobedient opposition

To you and your behests, and am enjoined

By holy Lawrence to fall prostrate here

To beg your pardon. (falls to her knees)

Pardon, I beseech you!

20Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.

JULIET

I went somewhere where I learned that being disobedient to my father is a sin. Holy Father Lawrence instructed me to fall on my knees and beg your forgiveness. (she kneels down) Forgive me, I beg you. From now on I’ll do whatever you say.

CAPULET

Send for the county. Go tell him of this.

I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.

CAPULET

Send for the Count. Go tell him about this. I’ll make this wedding happen tomorrow morning.

JULIET

I met the youthful lord at Lawrence' cell,

And gave him what becomèd love I might,

25Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty.

JULIET

I met the young man at Lawrence’s cell. I treated him with the proper love, as well as I could, while still being modest.

CAPULET

Why, I am glad on ’t. This is well. Stand up.

CAPULET

Well, I’m glad about this. This is good. Stand up.

JULIET stands up

JULIET stands up.

This is as ’t should be.—Let me see the county.

Ay, marry, go, I say, and fetch him hither.—

Now, afore God, this reverend holy friar!

30Our whole city is much bound to him.

This is the way it should be. I want to see the count. Yes, alright, go, I say, and bring him here. Now, before God, our whole city owes this friar a great debt.

What is stronger than steel but can’t handle the sun?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: The answer is Ice.

Explanation: No doubt, Steel is very stronger. Machines and their parts are mainly made up of steel. In metals, the atoms are present in a lattice and they continue vibrating and this protect the metals(alloys) from braking(fracture). When the temperature is very down then atoms stops vibrating in the crystal lattice and the metal can break.

Ice is not a metal but its a solid form of water and it could be stronger than steel because when steel(ships etc are made up of steel) comes in contact of ice the temperature decreases and stops the vibration of metal atoms in the crystal lattice and the steel breaks. So, it shows that Ice is stronger than steel.

We know that melting point for ice is zero degree C. So, when the ice comes in contact to sun light it melts. In this regards, ice cowers from the sun.

Hence, we could say that, Ice is stronger than steel but cowers from the sun.
