Answer:

The natives did not care about the elephant destroying their homes.

Explanation:

This is the irony that the speaker tries to highlight in the passage. In this text, the speaker feels concerned and overwhelmed at the idea of shooting the elephant. He does not want to do it, but feels forced to because the natives demand it. However, ironically, there does not seem to be any good reason to do so besides the spectacle, as the natives did not seem particularly upset when the elephant was destroying their homes.

Describe Mrs. Mallard's reaction to the death of her husband. Why do you think she feels this way?
Vanyuwa [196]
Mrs. Mallard's reaction to the news of her husband's death is that of a woman freed from a long prison term. She is shocked into silent disbelief, overcome with emotion, struck with a sense of relief at being free from the burden of marriage. She is now a widow who will be accepted in society, free to make choices, to have friends, to attend social events, to decide each day what she will do, according to what she wants. No more bending to the will of a husband, whom she loved most of the time.
Mrs. Mallard's reaction is not the typical hysteria, crying and grieving of a wife who has lost her husband, the man she loves. Louise Mallard sits in her room, staring out the window, imaging the life she will now have, free to choose, to explore her likes and dislikes.
Mrs. Mallard lives a lifetime in the space of one hour as she imagines what she will do with all her new freedom. She journeys in her mind, wandering free to enjoy and appreciate the life she sees through her window.
Sadly, her new life is brief, cut short by the abrupt return of Mr. Mallard, who was not anywhere near the train accident. His poor wife, so overcome by his return, along with her bad heart, is so stricken, that she dies right there on the spot. Mrs. Mallard's heart gave out, she was unable to bear the thought of living under the control of her husband, not after she imagined the life she could have alone.

Act I Of Romeo &amp; Juliet can be considered a setup for the rest of the play. In an extended response (6-8 sentences), choose
Art [367]

Answer and Explanation:

One of the most immortal events in Act 1 of "Romeo and Juliet" takes place right in the first scene, where Capulet servants make mischievous jokes about women and the Montague family and wait for the servants of the other family to show up so they can be mocked. This reinforces the enmity between the families, even reaching the servants of the two who also saw themselves as enemies.

Another important event can be seen in the moment when Romeo is depressed for not having the love of Rosaline. Romeu feels completely downcast, while his friend Benvolio encourages him to forget Rosaline and go and enjoy the party that the Capulets will be promoting. This shows the true friendship between the two boys, in addition to being an omen for the first meeting between Romeo and Juliet.

A third important event is the movement of Juliet's family to find a good marriage for her, that promotes a good social position and that raises the Capulets' name. This shows how Julieta did not have the freedom to fall in love and could not choose her own husband.
