In the introduction to his book, Sedlacek uses the Czech legend of St. Prokop (who harnesses the devil to plough his field) as a

metaphor for a commonly-held concept of the "invisible hand". He suggests that, like St. Prokop, civilization harnesses the evil of greed to accomplish "good" economic results. Based on what you have read here, does this argument make sense?

Answer:

This argument makes sense.

Explanation:

The invisible hand is a concept associated with the economy that refers to the ability to generate economic (or social) goods through an individual who works for himself and generates those goods in a way that these goods are available to society unintentionally, since you don't care about anything but yourself.

Taking into account that this concept states that some people can generate good situations for society through a selfish and evil reason, we can agree that the argument shown in the question above makes sense.

In the context of this passage, how do people face death? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literatur
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Emily is clearly linked to a monument--a symbol of death--in this passage. Many people think of tributes to the dead or to fallen heroes when they think of monuments. Monuments are found in many cemeteries, often to remember the famous or dead who are buried there. Faulkner connects Emily to a '' fallen monument'', to reinforce the theme of decay, a reminder that all things will fall to ruin. Monuments will crumble, societies will falter, and Emily and the other townspeople will die.

Explanation:

Symbols of death are as pervasive as the fine dust that coats Miss Emily's house in this short story. The dust covers everything in Emily's house, and the men who go there to attempt to collect Emily's taxes notice that the hallway ''smelled of dust and disuse.'' When they are seated in the parlor, ''a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sun-ray.''  

Dust coats everything in the secret room where Emily's horrifying secret is revealed and the townspeople learn that she has killed Homer Barron, her boyfriend, and kept his body. After Emily's neighbors break down the door of the secret room, they are shocked to see that ''What was left of him, rotted beneath what was left of the nightshirt, had become inextricable from the bed in which he lay; and upon him and upon the pillow beside him lay that even coating of the patient and biding dust.''

Side Note:

I hope this helps you in some or any way.

I have a difficult to learn English how is the best way
nikitadnepr [17]
Well it depends on what you mean by learning English, though it seems that in this sense you mean learning English as your second language. I do not know what your first language is, so I can not help you as effectively, but in general English is one of the hardest languages to learn with all the grammar rules and words involved. I would get a tutor to help you,use Google Translate, get a language learning program, or a book that teaches you the language. Any one of these works, though some not as effective as others. You build up from the basics and use the language you want to learn as often as you can so you can learn faster
