You are yourself. You are your age. You have your friends and your family. You live in your culture, in this age. Now imagine th

at you are at a party. Something happens. You feel a strange tingle in your spine. You look around you, wondering what is happening. Suddenly you see why. The eyes you accidentally stumble on lock onto yours. You have never seen them before, but you feel like you always have known them. You should be ashamed—or at least embarrassed—to be looking into a stranger's eyes like this. After what could have been a year-and-a-half but was more likely a second-and-a-half the eyes hurriedly dart away. You move yours too, frantic to find something else to look at. Your sense of time and space is lost. Your concerns, your hopes, your dreams, your fears, your sense of self—everything, is forgotten. The bodies of your friends and fellow party-goers seem to drift around you. You hear faint, disembodied voices and sounds. You say something to someone—you don't know what or to whom—as you effortlessly drift toward an angelic figure across the floor. Suddenly the angel is in front of you. You have no idea what to say, but you say something anyway. He or she answers you, perfectly. The person says something halfway. You finish the thought. There is nothing else but the two of you. The figures, sounds, and images around you appear as wallpaper and white noise. Someone grabs your hand and whisks you away. It's time to leave. Hours later, you are walking home in the darkness, thinking of those eyes. You hear something, and your head spins around. You recognize that voice. He or she breaks away from a group and comes to you. "I love you," you say. "I can't stop thinking about you." "I know," you hear. "Meet me tomorrow." The next day you are married. You have changed, but the rest of the world is exactly the same. Think there are going to be some problems? What will your friends say? How about your family? Of course they will think that you are an idiot. The question is, are they right? Is it fair or accurate to call this "love"? What kind of a mess might this situation make? OBJECTIVES Decide if the scenario described above is true love. Defend your answer in a four-paragraph essay. Instructions In the first paragraph of your essay, state your position and introduce two reasons you will use to defend your position. In the second and third paragraphs, expand on your two reasons. In the fourth paragraph, talk about different kinds of love. If you think the above example is not true love, what is? If you think it is, what other kinds of love exist? Make sure each paragraph contains one main idea and supporting details. Use complete sentences including compound and complex sentences. Include proper transitions and an appropriate conclusion. Make sure your essay contains no errors in conventions such as spelling or grammatical errors. Your response should be at least 250 words.

Answer:

this should help

Explanation:

The author of "The Lady or the Tiger?" never reveals what is behind the door. The princess indicates that her lover should choose the door on the right, however, we know that the princess—like her father—has a “barbaric” streak. Furthermore, we know that she hates the lady behind the door and is sick at the thought of her lover being married to her. Ultimately, it is left up to the reader to decide what they think emerged from the door—a lady or a tiger?Stockton, the author of the work, deliberately did not give us the "right" answer to this question.  Given that, we can guess and surmise and speculate; however, the answer is still, ultimately, a matter of opinion.Think about this people. The story explains about her barbaric nature like her father’s. We are also told that her lover “knows” her true nature. If these things are true, the princess would have directed him to the door with the tiger, but her lover would have known that. Consequently, he would have chosen the door she did not indicate, and he and the beautiful girl would live happily ever after.With all due respect, I think #3 needs to look at the quoted section of text more closely. " How in her grievous reveries had she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady!" The princess did not want him to find happiness with anyone else. She had a barbaric nature, and she knew that the beautiful young woman had cast glances upon her lover, and she had perceived those glances to be returned. This would not been taken lightly, and it is safe to say it would probably not be forgiven. In addition, let us not forget the "savage blood" that coursed through her and the "barbaric" ancestry she came from, and the fact that she hated the woman behind the door. It would seem that due to her barbaric nature she would have not wanted her lover to find happiness with another woman, and so we could assume she guided him to the door with the tiger.

Now with all that being said, we are told also that her lover ". . . understood her nature. . .", so if that is true then perhaps he would know she might not want any other woman to have him, and he would choose the door opposite the one she directed him to. So if the lady came out, perhaps it was because he outwitted his barabic lover.

Which of the following quotes from Mark Twain has a serious tone?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The quote from Mark Twain that has a serious tone is:

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear."

Explanation:

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear" is a serious quote. Twain is honestly explaining what he thinks of courage and fear, of their connection. His opinion is that being brave does not necessarily mean being fearless, but moving ahead in spite of fear.

However, when we take a look at the other quotes, we realize they were written in a humorous manner. Speaking of a summer as if it were winter, playing with the meanings of mind and matter, and advising someone to distort facts are all unexpected and funny topics, none of which can be taken seriously.
