Which is President Kennedy’s intent when using questions in the last paragraph of this excerpt?

1 answer:

8 0

If you look at the questions, you can see that they do not actually demand an answer: they are rhetorical questions. Namely, he wants the listeners to ask themselves the questions, and answer with a "yes" - he wants them to thing about whether they will join and he wants them to say "yes" - so the answer is that he wants to motivate the listeners - the answer is A)

Katherine Anne Porter chooses to leave some critical elements of the story uncertain, including the name of the disabled son. Wh

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Porter purposefully leaves out many elements from the story in order to underline the theme of reality versus appearance. Mrs Whipple is obsessed and even paralyzed with fear that other people from the village might look down on the family or even pity them. By investing so much energy into hiding their perceived "dirty laundry" from other people, she has started hiding the truth from herself too. That is the root of all ambiguity in the story; the reader has to do a detective work to unearth the truth and figure out the true relations between the family members.

Explanation:

Here are three other examples of uncertain or ambiguous elements.

We never get to hear the proper voices of Adna or Emly, the other two children. How are they coping with their brother's incapacity? Are they angry with their mother for favoring him at the dinner table even at the price of their being hungry? We don't get to hear any of that from them. Their mother is the main myth maker in the family, and the only tension is between her vision of the family and the truth that the reader is trying to fathom.

Another ambiguous element is how He came to be that way. Was He born "simple-minded" or did something happen that affected His capability? In this story, we have to work with what Mrs Whipple has given us - and that's a twisted story full of little lies that even she fails to catch up on.

The reader also has to face the question why Mrs Whipple constantly exposes Him to dangerous situations while still acting overprotective at the dinner table. For example, she sends Him to snatch a piglet from its mother when Adna refuses to do it. A mother who truly cares for her disabled son would have done it herself, or had her husband do it. Another such situation is when she sends him to bring the bull.

Which conflicts occur in this passage? Select three

saul85 [17]

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

How can I tell what it was like—you do not know. It was there, in the red light, and they were too big to be houses. It was there with the red light upon it, mighty and ruined. I knew that in another moment the gods would see me. I covered my eyes with my hands and crept back into the forest.

Surely, that was enough to do, and live. Surely it was enough to spend the night upon the cliff. The Forest People themselves do not come near. Yet, all through the night, I knew that I should have to cross the river and walk in the places of the gods, although the gods ate me up. My magic did not help me at all and yet there was a fire in my bowels, a fire in my mind. When the sun rose, I thought, "My journey has been clean. Now I will go home from my journey." But, even as I thought so, I knew I could not. If I went to the Place of the Gods, I would surely die, but, if I did not go, I could never be at peace with my spirit again. It is better to lose one's life than one's spirit, if one is a priest and the son of a priest.

Which conflicts occur in this passage? Select three options.

1) Character vs. nature: The narrator must conquer the challenges of the landscape to visit the Place of the Gods.

2) Character vs. character: The narrator must face the Forest People, since they live directly on the route to the Place of the Gods.

3) Character vs. self: The narrator must convince himself that just seeing the Place of the Gods from a distance is not enough.

4) Character vs. society: The narrator must go to the Place of the Gods to satisfy his spirit because he is a priest’s son and must follow his father’s teachings.

5) Character vs. self: The narrator is overwhelmed with fear of what he sees coming from the Place of the Gods and momentarily retreats.

Answer:

The conflicts that occur in the passage are

1) Character vs. self

2) Character vs. society

3) Character vs. self

Explanation:

There are three conflicts that occur in the passage:

1) Character vs. self: The narrator must try and make himself go to the Place of the Gods so he can be at peace with himself because viewing or seeing it froom afar is not enough for him.

2) Character vs. society: Another conflict that the narrator has it that he must visit the Place of the Gods because "if one is a priest and the son of a priest. " which shows that his father was a priest and he must follow his father's teachings.

3) Character vs. self: He is also scared for himself as he said "If I went to the Place of the Gods, I would surely die..." He wants to visit the Place of the Gods but he is scared for his life.
