Read the statement below, then decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be prepared to support your opinion with details fr

om the story. Here's your discussion prompt:
When Conrad uses the phrase "the noble cause" to describe colonialism, he is being sarcastic.

"No doubt he was; but he had been a couple of years already out there engaged in the noble cause, you know, and he probably felt the need at last of asserting his self-respect in some way."

Answer: I agree.

Explanation:

In the sentence when he says ''you know'' we are getting the feeling of sarcasm by him. Since the colonialism is about authority and dominance over the people or locations, it cannot be noble.

It is referring to the interests of one or more person and it is not a benign thing.

Although it is about ''self-respect in some way'' the dominance over someone isn't justified and people are aware of it, that is why I think that he was sarcastic.

Which detail best develops the character of the narrator, Jane Eyre, in the excerpt?
Flura [38]

Answer:

Jane's obsession with the Gulliver's Travels book and Bessie's song indicates the character of the narrator.

Explanation:     The excerpt mentions a narrator who is presumably Jane herself who talks about Bessie who is her nursemaid and who fetches the Gulliver's Travels book for Jane which Jane loves to read very much.

   Jane dreams about the places mentioned in the book and the various strange plants, animals and people which are discovered by Gulliver on his fictional voyage to the different islands.

   She also pays attention to the song that Bessie sings and on her sweet voice but how the song now feels like a refrain and not a joyful song.

In line two,

B. the second, fourth, and sixth are stressed.

There are four metrical feet in the line.

Explanation:

The stress and unstressed syllables in a line in combination form what is called the line's meter and the individual unit that is defined by the combinations of these unstressed and stressed syllables is defined as the metrical feet of the line.

In line two the stress is not on the first word which is 'The'

then the stress falls on the first syllable of each word after it.

As there are four combinations of unstressed - stressed syllables it has four metrical feet.

Bullying is a serious issue in today’s society and it can have devastating effects on both the victim and the bully as well as their relationships.. Bullying is usually one-on-one, but it may also take place between more than two people. Bullying can be physical, verbal, cyber, emotional, or relational. Bullying can also be seen as a power struggle in which one person or group of people exert power and control over another. The effects of bullying can be wide-ranging and can have a negative impact on the person being bullied and on those around them. It can cause a person to feel stressed, anxious, and unsafe, which can negatively affect their learning environment and academic performance. It can also cause a person to develop depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, which can have a negative impact on their physical health, such as causing a person to miss school or having a person become physically ill. Because of the negative impact that bullying has on a person, it is important that schools take action to prevent and reduce bullying. So let's stop bullying!
