Answer: I would contend that the right answers are accomplishment and hope.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that different types of fish have a special significance in Chinese culture. The carp has traditionally be seen as a symbol of success and advancement through hard work and determination. By giving the carp to the school kitchen where he was the principal on the day when his daughter was born, the father might be symbolically wishing (hope) for his offspring' advancement (accomplishment), and, by extension, for the advancement of the students and the teachers.

Answer:

It is Accomplishment or Death

Explanation:

It could be Accomplishment because the father caught a twenty-pound carp that feeds the students and teachers. The answer could also be Death because if the Carp never died then the students and teachers would never have got to eat the fish.

What constitutes a happy ending in a Shakespeare play? (This can be answered in multiple ways, just use evidence)
laila [671]

Answer:

No, none that I am aware of. In Shakespeare’s time, a tragedy meant that the main character falls from fortune to disaster, normally because of a flaw or fate. Obviously, other characters may be unharmed, or may even benefit from the protagonist’s downfall. I’m not writing to make fun of other posters, but we could as easily call the Matrix a tragedy because Agent Smith loses, or say that Titanic has a happy ending for coffin salesmen. Yes, Macduff or Fortinbras do well at the end of their plays, but they are not the protagonists.

For that reason, because a pre-modern tragedy definitionally means that the hero falls, and that’s what happens in Shakespeare’s plays, I’d say no. There are “problem” plays such as the Merchant of Venice, where the opposite happens—a comedy has a partly sad ending, with Shylock’s defeat—but again, it’s all in what the protagonist does, and Antonio (the merchant) wins at its close when his ships return

Where does each quotation probably take place?
dolphi86 [110]
Use quotation marks [ “ ” ] to set off material that represents quoted or spoken language. Quotation marks also set off the titles of things that do not normally stand by themselves: short stories, poems, and articles. Usually, a quotation is set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma; however, the typography of quoted material can become quite complicated. Hope that helped
