Answer:  

The author means that when people with power attempt to be fair they will be torn between two groups the people (critics) who feel that their choice is incorrect and the ones who feel that it is correct due to the situation. So kind of like the subject of bringing beheading back in the US many feel it is a horrible idea but many also feel it is correct. And for the second one, I am not sure because I have not read your article only the seventh paragraph.

According to the author, we shouldn't justify our own inertia by constantly claiming that life is unfair. People are not born in equal circumstances, but they have equal chances to make the best of their circumstances. Leaders, more than any other people, shouldn't fall prey to such vague concepts as fairness. Many things aren't fair, and that is true. Then again, many fair things wouldn't be the right things to do. Leaders should choose what is right over what is presumably fair. By pursuing "fairness", we are fooling ourselves, and providing an excuse for complaining instead of acting.

Answer: In the first paragraph, the narraraor seeks to establish his credibility,  as if he expects the reader to believe that his especially acute sense of hearing makes him more believable than an ordinary observer. The narrarator purports that his calm, detailed account will be accepted as truthful, despite some irrational decisions and actions. The narrarator's attention to detail clues the reader to "expect the unexpected" in terms of details the narrator's heightened senses reveal.

In the third paragraph, the narrator reveals that he has, in fact, killed the old man. We are hearing the account of a murderer rationalizing his actions, as if this is what anyone with his keen perception and ability to carry out this elelaborate scheme would have done. The reader realizes that this narrator is crazy, but we are still listening, but we can intrpret his intentions as absolutely irrational. Speaking corageously to the man by day, sneaking stealthily into his bedroom by night.

The fourth paragraph confirms the reader's suspicions that the narator is beyond belief: feeling the extent of his own powers. And even when he thinks the old man may have heard him, he persists in his incredibly slow, deliberate intention to intrude into the man's bedroom-- hoping to see  what he has defined as Evil Eye-- as if the narrator has a duty to eliminate something that vexes only him. Our impression must be that this narrator can't escape the consequences of his actions.

"Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has many themes, including the powerful nature of both love and fate. Choose one or more SECONDA
tigry1 [53]
You could write about all of them because they all help to further the story. I might choose tybalt because he is the main guy who has a problem with romeo. You will need topics for each paragraph and strong beginning section and thesis and a nice closing paragraph. Stay away from using to much of the obvious things and throwing in a few quotes won't hurt. And DON'T FORGET to cite it! That is very important, unless your teacher doesn't make you do that but in high school they typically tend to. If you have any more questions about Romeo and Juliet I will be here to help, I read this during freshman year in high school.
