English

docker41 [41]3 years ago

Answer:

<em> </em><em>The conflict between Nora and Helmer shows how  gender roles were defined, as Helmer has complete  control over everything, including what the couple  discusses.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Doll`s House</em> written by Henrik Ibsen gives us exact social picture of that age. Nora and Torvald Helmer are married. He has a high position in society and he is the leading man of the house. Nora`s role is to be sweet, pretty wife with whom he can show off to the society. Their roles are predestined with expectations of society, if they want to be accepted, they have to play them. Helmer calls Nora with names like <em>squirrel</em> or <em>little bird</em>, in one moment he even marks her as his pet who spends a lot of money. He decides what she will eat or dress or even talk. We can say that Nora even uses her inferior position to get some power. She acts like a damsel in distress so to challenge him to help her in some meaningless activities in which he will feel like a man in charge, but for the biggest part of the play, she was not aware that using her subordinate position for some little and short term pleasures leaves her in that same position which is just being someone`s mannequin.

Change the direct speech into reported speech.
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Direct speech is when we pass the message of the speaker in such a way that the message is in its original state.

Reported speech is when we pass the message of the speaker in our own words, we paraphrase it.

In order to change direct speech into indirect we need to use verb say/s or said , tell/s or told (depends on the tense in direct speech). If we report a question or so, we omit the question mark/exclamation mark and we finish the sentence with a comma.

As for tenses, in indirect speech we use the tense that is one tense behind the used tense (present simple tense in direct speech - past simple tense in indirect speech). Also if the sentence in direct speech presents universal truth, we do not change tense.

We have to use pronouns properly too. If a sentence in direct speech begins with "I", we change it to "he" or "she", so it is a must to pay attention who is the speaker in direct speech.

We also need to change adverb of a sentence if needed. If someone says that he went somewhere yesterday, we change "yesterday" into "the day before" (tomorrow - the next day, here - there, now - then and so on).

The mirror changes into _____.
Naddik [55]
The correct answer is B. <span>a lake, to suggest deeper meaning. The mirror as such is a metaphor of feminine frailty and insecurity; however, when it turns into a lake, it transcends that meaning and evolves into a metaphor of aging, time and change. It doesn't turn into a woman; it just shows the woman's transformation from a young girl into an old woman.</span>
