Answer:
To help writers learn their weakness.
Explanation:
Answer:
To "bear witness" the living can prevent the tragic story of the ghost boys from being repeated with living children and this can contribute to a better world.
Explanation:
This question is about "Ghost Boys" a book written by Jewell Parker Rhodes that tells the story of Jerome, a twelve-year-old boy who was killed when a police officer shot him when he mistook Jerome's toy for a real gun. Jerome became a ghost and saw all the suffering that his family went through with his death. Thus, he decided to form a group with other ghost boys and show some living people the tragic stories that caused their death. This is because only these humans can develop real changes in the world, helping other children not to go through the same injustices that they did and preventing more families from suffering.
- Why do you think Shakespeare shows Macbeth taken in by the witches prophecy?
Firstly, Shakespeare makes a point in Macbeth's confidence, due to his full trust in the witches' prophecy he believed that he was invencible. So, when he sees that he can actually be defeated this is something that the audience is expecting to see, so it adds to the dramatic effect of the play. Secondly, I believe that tragic heroes, no matter what they do, we always feel some sort of sympathy for them. In this case, I believe that Shakespeare is trying to show his weakness (he trusted someone he shouldn't, he was way too confident, all of this was the result of his ambition that completely blinded his judgement)
- What might Shakespeare be applying by Macbeth's character?
As it has been previously stated, Shakespeare was trying to show Macbeth that he placed his trust in the wrong place (this had also a didactic purpose for the audience). Moreover, I believe that this is when his eyes are unfolded, ambition falls, and he realized that he was a puppet of the witches. He didn't question her words and he did everything they expected him to do. Bear in mind that in elizabethan/jacobean times, Witches were believed to be plotting agaist the king (since the king was the representation of God on earth, and witches the loyal servants of the devil).
- What might be Shakespeare be applying to the witches' power?
It is shown that they don't actually have power, rather they know a lot of information and they use that information to manipulate people like Macbeth.
- Is he suggesting that Macbeth might be a victim of mysterious evil forces?
Defenitly, although he is guilty because he did everything he shouldn't, but still we can see that the witches manipulated him. They kindle the fire and Macbeth did the rest. So the fault is equally diveded, in my opinion.
The Bone Wars, also known as the "Great Dinosaur Rush", refers to a period of intense fossil speculation and discovery during the Gilded Age of American history, marked by a heated rivalry between Edward Drinker Cope (of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia) and Othniel Charles Marsh (of the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale). Each of the two paleontologists used underhanded methods to try to out-compete the other in the field, resorting to bribery, theft, and destruction of bones. Each scientist also sought to ruin their rival's reputation and cut off their funding using attacks in scientific publications.
