Paragraph 31

''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at  anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front  door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the  entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman  who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov  when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight  everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to  wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt  quite feverish.''

Answer: To show how people are taking themselves too seriously although they are the same as others

Explanation:  

In this paragraph, we can the main situation in ''The Nose'' by Nikolai Gogol and that is Kovalyov's nose loss which is showing a lot of irony and grotesque. He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.

  • With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.

This story is surreal but it is shown in the most realistic and detailed way.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

yes she kisses back, before that they were flirting, and saying poems to one another . She means that Romeo would be wonderful, no matter what name he was called. For the other questions, students’ answers will vary a bit. Names, they might argue, actually do matter and Juliet is somewhat wrong. If, for example, your parents were hippies and named you Moonbeam Smith, you might have grown into a different version of yourself because of the way the world treats someone named Moonbeam. It’s fun to think about how your name influences people’s reactions to you. The answers to the second part will vary and often lead to an interesting full-class discussion.

Try to pronounce the initial (first) sound of the word (thin) and identify its place of articulation. *
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Concerning the place of articulation, the initial sound of thin is a voiceless dental.

Explanation:

Place of articulation is one of the three dimensions used to classify consonantal sounds (as well as voicing and manner of articulation), and refers to the area of the mouth where the constriction happens.

Dental sounds are oral and can be voiced or voiceless. They are called apico-dental sounds because the tip of the tongue, known as the lower articulator, articulates with the upper front teeth through soft contact. The symbol of this sound is [θ], called ‘theta’.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
ELEN [110]

Answer:

The controversy of women getting paid less than men was because people thought that women IS NOT the same as men. In the past, women were looked at as property or some fragile little thing that ONLY has the job of carrying children in the family and take care of the house. Also this depends on what timeline you are looking at, but women would often have less education compared to men simply because of their gender. Women are expected to be "proper" whereas men "manly." Now in the present, some men still have that traditional thoughts like how women can not be as great as men, which is why they would be payed less.
