What does the speaker mean when he compares humans to trees?

English
2 answers:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago

The speaker meant to suggest that humans, like trees, must give freely to thrive when he compares humans to trees.  

Answer: B

Explanation

This is based on an excerpt taken from the poem 'The Prophet'.

This is written by Khalil Gibran in 1923.

The poem talks about love, religion, giving, work, marriage, etc.

On talking about giving, the speaker compares to trees as every tree gives its fruits to people and when a tree stops giving, it indicates that the tree is dead.

Likewise, humans are responsible to give to others.

Write an argumentative essay in which you state and defend a claim about whether Dr. Jekyll is responsible for the crimes commit
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

In the final chapter, Jekyll's letter highlights one of the main themes of the novel, the dual nature of man. It is this concept that caused him to pursue his disastrous experiments that led to his downfall. Hyde, the personification of Jekyll's purely evil characteristics, revels in the freedom of an anonymous existence. Although he successfully distills his evil side, Jekyll still remains a combination of good and evil. Thus, when transforming back and forth, his evil side grows stronger and more powerful after years of repression, and is able to take over completely. In this way, Jekyll's experiments are the opposite of what he hoped. Interestingly, as is repeatedly mentioned throughout the novel, Hyde is a small man often called dwarfish, while Jekyll is a man of large stature. Thus, the reader is left to assume that Jekyll's evil side is much weaker and less developed than his good side. However, appearances can be deceiving. In fact, Hyde's strength far out powers Jekyll's.

In his letter, Jekyll clearly states that he felt no guilt about Hyde's actions, as "Henry Jekyll stood at times aghast before the acts of Edward Hyde, but the situation was apart from ordinary laws, and insidiously relaxed the grasp of conscience. It was Hyde, after all, and Hyde alone, that was guilty." To the reader, this explanation seems ridiculous, because Hyde is in fact part of Jekyll, and a being that Jekyll created. Therefore, clearly Jekyll is responsible for the man's actions.
