What does Hamlet mean when he says, “Let me comply with you in this garb, lest my extent to the players (which I tell you must s

how fairly outwards) should more appear like entertainment than yours”? Why is this statement ironic?

Hamlet means that he must act like he is happy to see Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, otherwise people might think he is not happy to see them.

Of course, this line is ironic -- Hamlet is NOT happy to see them. he knows Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are there because Claudius and Gertrude want his friends to spy on him. 

The line is also ironic because the idea of "acting" is a big motif in the play. Hamlet does not want to appear as though he's happier to see the actors, which is why he must shake hands with his friends. He must appear (or act) as happy to see them as he is to see the real actors. 

Ironically, Hamlet, Rosencrantz, and Guildenstern are all acting here -- Hamlet is acting that he's happy to see his friends (or that he isn't losing his mind, or that he isn't plotting revenge) and R&G are acting as though they aren't supposed to spy on their friend.

Why Everett Ruess is a mystery
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

One of Utah’s greatest mysteries is the sudden disappearance of a young adventurer named Everett Ruess.

Explanation:

In the 1930’s, Ruess left his home and family after graduating high school to wander alone through the American Southwest. Everett was an explorer, poet, artist, and inspiration who was captivated by the daunting beauty and fury of deserts. He spent many years wandering alone through southern Utah with his two burros, entranced by the looming red rocks and lonely rolling sands. In 1934, at the age of 20, he disappeared into one of Utah’s most desolate places, and his fate remains a mystery.

Whats the tone of the poem thats called the renegade
Harrizon [31]

 The tone of the poem is how you feel when you read it.  The regenade (i believe that is how you spell it) has a sad and lonely tone.
