Answer:

A person's ability to avoid dam.nation.

Explanation:

In his speech, Edwards uses the image of a spider dangling on a thread over fire to describe a person's ability to avoid dam.nation. Edwards' speech focuses on how people forget that they are in the hand of an angry God. They believe that they can sin and that they will somehow still avoid punishment in Hell. Edwards argues that this is not the case, and that people are in the same situation as the spider. They can die and be dam.ned at any moment. This is why they should repent and lead moral lives.

Can someone please write me a poem
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Whose ar 15 is that? I think I know.

Its owner is quite happy though.

Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,

I watch her laugh. I cry hello.

She gives her ar 15 a shake,

And laughs until her belly aches.

The only other sound's the break,

Of distant waves and birds awake.

The ar 15 is deadly, expensive and deep,

But she has promises to keep,

After cake and lots of sleep.

Sweet dreams come to her cheap.

She rises from her gentle bed,

With thoughts of kittens in her head,

She eats her jam with lots of bread.

Ready for the day ahead.

What do the last two sentences in this excerpt from Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist suggest about parish officials?
sasho [114]
I believe the correct answers are: B) They deliberately ignored the suffering of the parish children, and D) They wanted to give the impression that they were performing their work.

Apparently, all the parish officials wanted was to preserve the appearance that everything was right, while keeping up with their corrupted practice of conceiving the problems and malpractice. Their duty was to make sure that the children were cared for, but they refused to do it, fully aware of the consequences.

How would you describe George Orwell's feelings about killing the elephant in his essay "Shooting an Elephant"?
Sveta_85 [38]
In this crucial moment of the story, Orwell articulates the paradox of colonialism. What have the British forced themselves to adopt by limiting the freedom of others?  A limited, exaggerated role in order to maintain their grip on authority—and thus limited their own freedoms far more sharply. Orwell recognizes that the elephant is a peaceful creature that has been driven to rebellion by its mistreatment, and there is a metaphorical link between the elephant and colonialism. However, he was forced to take on a performative persona that makes him act counter to every reasonable impulse he has, and he was afraid of humiliation. The way humiliation might impact the local's sense of him as an authority figure.
