Answer: Grant can be a "hero" only through his interaction with Jefferson.

Explanation: Grant realizes that he had falsely regarded self-worth to things such as education and that there was much more to a human than his original understanding and he recognizes this when he says “My eyes were closed before this moment, Jefferson. My eyes have been closed all my life.” (Gaines, 2002, p. 225”). Jefferson taught him that redemption belongs to everyone and that his duty to his community is worth much more than he initially thought it did.

Grant can be weak, cynical, and negative, but by just helping Jefferson and made some change, however small, is a huge thing. Grant was taught that his work and that he himself had some good attributes. Grant's commitment to his community, even if it's something that drives him crazy, is a huge role Jefferson plays in, and it shows change and commitment in his character afterwords.

Illustrate a story saying we live in deeds and not in years

kogti [31]

Answer: Ben Johnson has rightly said, “In short measures, life may perfect be”. He compares and contrasts a short-lived lily and an oak which lives for hundreds of years. A lily offers non-peril beauty for a day, with which it captivates the hearts of the beholders. But an oak is ugly and wooden. Its large size or long life is poor substitutes for a lily’s beauty. A rainbow offers beauty for a short period. The same is the case with dew-drops, sun-rise etc. But they leave an indelible impression upon the heart, such that we realize that “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.” Beauty is nine days’ wonder. But its impress upon the mind is ever-lasting. Most of the great men of the world led short lives. Such were Swami Vivekananda and Guru Go binds Singh. The great poets like Byron, Shelley and Keats died in early life. Even Shakespeare and Alexander Pope did not lead very long lives. But can humanity ever forget them? Many young men like Sadder Bharat Singh, Sadder Durham Singh and others lost their lives when they were quite young. They gave up their lives for the sake of our country. A short life spent in the service of humanity is better than a long life spent in a self-centered sequestered corner.

Which character relationship in The Tempest is the best example of how colonizers used language as power ? OA Sebastian and Anto

lakkis [162]

Answer:D. Stephano and Trinculo referring to Caliban as their pet monster.

Explanation:

Caliban is an animal-like creature in Shakespeare's the Tempest. When Prospero arrives at the island, he enslaves Caliban and educates him. Caliban, however, remains defiant and his disruptive behavior does not change. Apart from his strange appearance, Caliban curses and hates his master.

In Act II, Scene II, Stephano and Trinculo discuss selling Caliban as an attraction in England for a piece of silver. They refer to Caliban as 'a strange fish'. This demonstrates their dominance over Caliban - they act as colonizers who possess him, and have a right to do whatever they want with him:

(Trinculo) ''A strange fish! Were I in England now, as once I was, and had but this fish painted, not a holiday fool there but would give a piece of silver.''
