GIVING BRAINLEST TO FIRSt GOOD ANSWERTHE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE By Hugh Lofting Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son My name was Tom

my Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other. Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor. For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands-Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly-like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight. Which of the following best states a key theme of the excerpt "The Cobbler's Son"?(5 points) Select one: a. Commitment is a great quality in the young. b. Home is always a place of comfort. c. Imagination can take you very far. d. Planning for your future is very important.

Orwell says that the incident with the elephant
Stels [109]

Answer:

When Orwell relates his experience with the elephant in “Shooting an Elephant” it gives some insight into his own psyche as well as the structure of imperialism. In this moment, he criticizes imperialism, showing that the leaders are controlled by the masses just as much as, if not more so than, the other way around.

He describes himself as being despised by the Burmese people. He is a colonial policeman, and in this role, he is associated with imperial British rule, propped up by the threat of force. (Orwell himself served in the Indian imperial police for a time, so the narrator's voice is likely his own.) When the elephant tears through the bazaar, killing a coolie, the Burmese crowd demands that he shoot and kill it. He does not want to do this, because by the time he arrives on the scene, the elephant has calmed, and no longer poses a threat to anybody. Orwell reflects that, in order to appease the angry crowd, he has to fill the role that they expect of him, which is that of a hated "tyrant." This is the paradoxical nature of empire- he must compromise his morality, become what the Burmese people already think he is, or risk their laughter and scorn. For someone that has already determined that he hates British imperialism, the incident is profoundly unsettling, but in a "roundabout way enlightening." It underscores the duality of empire, a world in which a man like Orwell can, as he says in the account, hold remarkably contradictory feelings:

The incident illustrates that, whatever objections they may have to British rule, imperial officials have to be hated to be respected.

Artemon [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

What kind of a house do you live in? Houses come in all different sizes and shapes. Some are of wood while others are of stone or brick.

Brick or adobe houses stay cool in the summer, yet are warm in the winter. The lightweight houses of Japan are designed to survive earthquakes.

Based on the text, what kind of house would be best in a hot desert climate?

1. a lightweight house

2. a stone house

3. an adobe house

4. a wood house

Answer:

3. an adobe house

Explanation:

As seen in the text above, brick or adobe houses heat up in winter and stay cool in summer. This is very important for a house that will be built in the desert. This is because the desert has high temperatures during the day and during the summer, which makes it necessary to have a house that remains cool, leaving residents more comfortable with the temperature. However, the desert has colder winters and extremely low temperatures at night, showing the need for a warm home.
