Read the excerpt from "Drummer Man." It turned out to be a good thing that I signed on again. It wasn't long into my second year

when our regiment fought at the Siege of Corinth. In the heat of the fight we made a desperate charge across a ravine and Captain Williamson was wounded. So the call came in for a quick retreat, but unfortunately the captain was left there between the lines. Somebody had to rescue him, and it was one of two times during the war that I was happy for being small. I took off in a stooping run, unseen by the enemy, and somehow found the strength to drag Williamson back to the stretcher bearers and out of harm's way. Based on the excerpt, how does the narrator's size affect his experiences?

Answer:

He was happy for being small sized.

Explanation:

The narrator of "Drummer Man" is small sized. Based on the excerpt we can infer that he was not much happy with his small size. It was only one of two times when he liked being small sized.

His regiment had to retreat from a war front, but their Captain was wounded and left between the lines. Someone had to go there and drag Captain back to safe place. It was not easy for other soldiers to do it owing to their large size. The narrator because of being small in size did the job with not much difficulty. So he was happy for his small size.

What insights about human nature, human psychology, and human society does the novel present? how are they expressed? lord of th
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The central theme of the novel is the conflict between civilization and savagery, which also expresses the psychological confrontation between good and evil, as the social battle of law against anarchy. The good is represented in the instinct of civilization while the instinct of savagery represents evil.

Explanation:

The boys have to choose whether they follow rules and moral commands to guarantee a peaceful coexistence or they succumb to an instinctive search for power and gratification through violence. This is not only a personal dilemma but also shows how all the characters are influenced by an instinct of civilization as well as one of savagery to different degrees.

While Ralph represents civilization, Jack represents savagery.

Piggy and Roger are in opposite extremes as well, since the first doesn´t show any tendency to savagery, while the latter seems incapable of following the rules of civilization. Given that most boys succumb to savagery by the end, we can infer that Golding believes that the instinct of savagery is a primal element of the human mind while the instinct of civilization is forces on the individual by society.

Why do you think companies put money into market research when it is so expensive?
ryzh [129]
Market research is absolutely essential for companies of all sizes, from beginners to wealthy. It provides real data, which can be used to help strengthen and improve various parts of the company. Investing in it, can also prevent them wasting money or something that the target market doesn’t want or need. Most research can be divided into three different categories, exploratory, descriptive and causal. Each serves a different end purpose and can only be used in certain ways.
