<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The speaker wants to indicate readers the important thing is how they can understand the poem

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A contribution to statistics is a poem written by wislava szymborska from poland. He has also been awarded Nobel Prize in 1996. Here the not approximate numbers are our efforts to measure the life in which we often fail because we want the world to be as we want which is never possible even if we try to.

The only thing which is going to happen and is certain is death and we have an exact number which is death. In the poem the poet goes from exact numbers to approximate numbers to show how people feel about them, they are not just numbers but it's upon people's mind how they perceive them. According to the speaker, the most likely reason the books will last even after people are gone is because they were created by ideas

Licemer1 [7]
 Myths are stories that are written by unknown authors. The purpose of these stories is often to explain complex concepts before science or proof could explain them. They are also used to teach people morals. Myths may often be religious or attempt to explain how the world came to be.

Review Malcolm’s last speech in act v, scene 8. How are his words and echo of Duncans language earlier in the play? How does thi
Eva8 [605]
Duncan addresses the crowd with "sons, kinsmen, thanes" (1.4), and in his final speech Malcolm repeats the greeting by saying "my thanes and kinsmen" (5.8), the echoing of this address shows that Malcolm holds the same level of respect and care for his people as his father did. He welcomes everyone into his speech--as Duncan did earlier--and makes it clear that he appreciates and respects each of them by increasing their titles. Duncan in the beginning similarly showed his appreciation to Macbeth, Banquo, and Malcolm--by giving more titles to Macbeth, jewels to Banquo, and the title of "Prince of Cumberland" to Malcolm. The way that they handle the traitor (the Thane of Cawdor first and then Macbeth at the end) also is similar. They  make it clear that they had trusted those men, but that those who fell into their evil or ran from them will not be punished. This shows more of how caring and kind they are in their position as king. 

Malcolm's speech unifies the play in a couple of ways. Thematically we get to see that theme of power, ambition, and fate vs free will come full circle. Malcolm was named next for the throne, and then Macbeth derailed that through the course of the play by trying to take his fate into his own hands. Malcolm's speech as he becomes king shows that his position was inevitable and that power and ambition can only get a character so far before he falls. King was always going to be Malcolm's fate, it just took longer for that to happen.
