Sanger Rainsford and his hunting partner Whitney are traveling on the river to hunt the legendary giant cat of that region, the jaguar.

Rainsford listens to cannon shots, loses his pipe and when trying to recover it falls out of his boat in the Caribbean sea and swim to an island where he meets Zaroff (the general).

He decided to live on an island where he could capture shipwrecked and send them to the jungle to turn them into their prey.

Reinsford manages to wound the general on one shoulder, to scape the general, Rainsford throws himself off a cliff.

Zaroff believes that Rainsford has committed suicide and returns home.

Which thematic statement is best demonstrated by the events of Shakespeare's The Tempest
Tanya [424]

The thematic statement that is best described by Shakespeare’s The Tempest is B) Even in a new place with new people, travelers never escape their old problems.

The premise of releasing people in a inhospitable land where they are the mercy of human nature itself is a revelation: the characters may be exposed to several situations in which opportunity is given for them to behave in disagreement with their societal roles, however, that never takes place and they still act according to what society demands and expects of them. Prospero intends to recover his title, in spite of possessing an entire island to himself and a spirit at his beck and call, because that is what society has taught him to reach for. Miranda and Ferdinand do not consumate their passion when nobody is there to halt them, because refraining is what society dictates that they must do. Caliban, Trinculo and Stephano do not manage to ascend socially or gain power and freedom, because society exercises its control over them. Most notably and tellingly, upon shipwrecking and finding himself stranded on a remote island, Gonzalo fantasizes about a somewhat utopian society that he never manages to make come true in the play, perhaps because all the characters are either conformed or confined to their roles.

In short: if a fish is taken out of water, it is still a fish, that behaves as a fish does, and deals with the predicaments that a fish must face, even out of his element.

What are two examples of indirect and direct characterization in “The Doll’s House” by Katherine Mansfield? Explain. PLEASE HELP
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

short story about the unfairness of social classicism, "The Doll's House", features as main characters two poor and socially disenfranchised little sisters, named Lil Kelvey and Else Kelvey. These girls are the daughters of Mrs. Kelvey, presumably a washer woman, and an unnamed father who is in prison.

As their foils, there are the secondary characters who are the owners of the dollhouse; three rich young ladies named Isabel, Lottie and Kezia Burnell. They, as well as the rest of the other children, would stay away from the Kelvey's, as they were considered to be bottom-feeders.

Other characters in the story that are mentioned include Mrs. Hay, who is the lady visitor who sends the doll house as a "thank you" gift to the Burnell sisters. There is "the carter" and "Pat", who carried the huge dollhouse inside, so we can assume that Pat was a servant.

Then we learn about Aunt Beryl, who is the haughty aunt of the three sisters, and who lives with the girls.

The rest are filler characters which interact with the main and secondary characters but some of them have a name. There is the girls' unnamed teacher who seems as classicist as the rest of the society of the school. There is also a Ms. Lecky, for instance, who is identified as the postmistress. Last, but not least, are the two chosen girls who were to be the firsts to see the dollhouse at the Burnell's house, Emmie Cole and Lena Logan. Lena is also the girl who laughs at Lil Kelvey asking her if she is going to be a servant when she grows up.
