Answer:

The land is essentially worthless.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Hamlet" revolves around the revenge plot of the murdered king at the hands of his own brother. The new king Claudius had not only taken control of the kingdom but had also married his brother's wife.

Act IV scene iv of the play shows Hamlet and his men discussing about the war between Poland and Norway. Prince Fortinbras had requested help from Denmark, to allow him free passage to get to Norway. It was this way that they were discussing, which prompt Hamlet to ask the captain of the ship why this was important. The captain then told him that they were just fighting over a "patch of ground that’s not worth anything".

Thus, Hamlet learned that the land essentially worthless.

Based on the text, what made "Goodnight Irene" Lead Belly's signature tune?

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, Seeger also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of the Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of the Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, Seeger re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, counterculture, workers rights, and environmental causes.

A prolific songwriter, his best-known songs include "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" (with additional lyrics by Joe Hickerson), "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)" (with Lee Hays of the Weavers), "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" (also with Hays), and "Turn! Turn! Turn!", which have been recorded by many artists both in and outside the folk revival movement. "Flowers" was a hit recording for the Kingston Trio (1962); Marlene Dietrich, who recorded it in English, German and French (1962); and Johnny Rivers (1965). "If I Had a Hammer" was a hit for Peter, Paul and Mary (1962) and Trini Lopez (1963) while the Byrds had a number one hit with "Turn! Turn! Turn!" in 1965.

Seeger was one of the folk singers responsible for popularizing the spiritual "We Shall Overcome" (also recorded by Joan Baez and many other singer-activists) that became the acknowledged anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, soon after folk singer and activist Guy Carawan introduced it at the founding meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960. In the PBS American Masters episode "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song", Seeger said it was he who changed the lyric from the traditional "We will overcome" to the more singable "We shall overcome".

Question: When Alice uses "addressing," she means Answer: Talking to Question: When the Queen says "a-dressing," she means Answe

kotegsom [21]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Am I addressing the White Queen?" "Well, yes, if you call that a-dressing," the Queen said. "It isn't MY notion of the thing, at all."

... "If your Majesty will only tell me the right way to begin, I'll do it as well as I can."

"But I don't want it done at all!" groaned the poor Queen. "I've been a-dressing myself for the last two hours."

It would have been all the better, as it seemed to Alice, if she had got some one else to dress her, she was so dreadfully untidy.

—Through the Looking Glass,

Lewis Carroll

When Alice uses "addressing," she means.

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

c. writing out envelopes

When the Queen says "a-dressing," she means

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

c. writing out envelopes

Answer:

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

Explanation:

The word "addressing" as used by Alice, means that she would like to know if she was speaking to the queen, that is, if she was referring, in her words, to the queen she wished to speak to at that moment. Carroll, uses that word to make a pun on the moment when the queen is trying to dress and look presentable, for this reason, the queen uses the word "a-dressing" where she shows that she is trying to dress appropriately.
