What is the significance of making people barons and dukes in harrison bergeron

English
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The significance of "making people barons and dukes and earls" means that if people will be able to free themselves from their handicaps, they will be rewarded with a brighter future and a<u> greater freedom.</u>

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Harrison Bergeron." The story focuses on the "equality" of humans in the year 2081. The equality being mentioned here is literal equality, which means <u>no one should be above than the other even when it comes to intelligence</u>. George was more intelligent than his age that he was given a<em> mental handicap radio in his ear</em> so the government can control him and stay attuned to what he's thinking.

Harrison Bergeron was a <em>"wanted man" </em>who recently escaped from prison. He wanted to overthrow the government because for him <u>people should be free from the straps of handicaps that are being attached to them.</u> For him, people should be free to do what they want and harness their potentials to the best of their ability. This was the freedom he was referring to and showing to people.

In which sentence is the underlined word a present participle? It is exciting to see the raised head of a dolphin in the water!
Ainat [17]
A present participle is formed with the stem of the workd and the suffix -ing and it can have many functions, such as adjective, a part of the verb phrase. 

Here all the stentences have a present participle! Here they are:

It is exciting to see the raised head of a dolphin in the water!
exciting - it can be seen as a present participle or adjective

 When dolphins are above the water, they are breathing air.
breathing - this is definitely a present participle

 Having adapted to pressure changes, dolphins’ lungs enable them to dive below the ocean’s surface.
 here "having" is the participle"


Swimming dolphins need to break the surface for air every two minutes.

here "smimming" is the participle.


So the answer depends on which word was underlined!

Who or what is most likely an antagonist in Robinson Crusoe?
grigory [225]

Answer:

<em>B.</em><em> The sea and its tides</em>

Explanation:

<em>Robinson Crusoe </em>is a novel written by Daniel Defoe. We follow the story of a man who was shipwrecked on a deserted island. He was trapped there for 28 years with no valid possibilities of sailing away.

Antagonist in a story is a person or a hostile force that stands as opposed to protagonist (the main character), it makes things hard for him and creates a rocky road to the protagonist`s goal, intentionally or unintentionally.

In this novel, the antagonist is the sea and its tides - it was them that caused the shipwreck and disenabled Robinson from getting out of the island and going home.
