We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief, until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining. Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested, letting the steersmen and the breeze take over. Which elements of epic poetry are shown in this excerpt?

Write about smoking in public places. Do you agree or disagree that smoking should be banned in public places? Why or why not?
atroni [7]

Answer + Explanation:

As the society grows more and more health conscious, stronger voices to ban smoking in all public areas begin to emerge. Banning public has been used as a mean for government to discourage smoking and also to improve city image. It is almost impossible to achieve consensus on this issue as it creates great inconvenience for the smokers. However, I believe smoking should be banned in public places and my reasons are as follow.  

Looking at the <em>health aspect</em>, smoking should be banned in public places because it is not only a health hazard for the smoker, it creates more harm to the others. Cigarette is a known carcinogen that has been associated with increased rates of lung cancer and heart disease. However, the hazard does not end there, second-hand smoke has been proven to create more detrimental effects on health on both the smokers and the people around them. This is especially harmful for those with weaker immune systems such as children and elderly.  

Looking at the <em>sociological aspect</em>, smoking should be banned in public places because smoking is a personal choice. One’s personal enjoyment should not be at the expense of others’ health. When a person smokes in indoor public areas such as restaurants and shopping centres, pollutants continue to circulate the premise and affecting the health of everyone within the building. It is unfair for the non-smokers to be forced to share the health risks of the smokers.  

To sum up, public places are shared by all, smokers and non-smokers, old and young, and should be made friendly to all. <u>Negative effects of smoking go beyond the smoker himself, creating health problems of the public.</u> While some choose to accept the side effects of smoking, risks of smoking should not be forced upon others. Therefore, in my humble opinions, smoking should be banned in public places.

Which opinion about colonialism is best supported by events from The Tempest?
Gwar [14]

Within The Tempest it is demonstrated that contact with native populations is rarely an even exchange; the native people are usually exploited in some way.  This is demonstrated by the way that the "invaders" in the form of those who are shipwrecked at the beginning of the play attempt to change the islanders, little suspecting that one of them is the usurped Duke of Milan - now in the form of the wizard/magician Prospero.

To some extent it could also be argued that Prospero himself has already changed the nature of the island by being there.  He has introduced magic, captures the monster Caliban and lies to his own daughter (allbeit it to protect her).

Which of the following is the best example of a theme? A. A reference to a story from mythology B. The price of wealth, fame, an
Juliette [100K]

<u>Answer:</u>

B: The price of wealth, fame, and power

This is the best example of a theme.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Theme of a story means the central message that the story illustrates. To find the theme of a story, reader must understand the central message of the story. A writer may use irony, symbolism etc to present the theme. Theme should not be confused with moral of the story.  

The correct option B refers to the price one need to pay for wealth, fame and power. This is a theme as story can revolve around this. Other options are just a scene of a story: like Option C which is the moment when conflict is resolved and Option D which is a romantic scene between two lovers. Similarly, option A which is a reference to a story from mythology. All these are only scenes from a story not the theme of it.
