Answer and Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Lady, or the Tiger," by author Frank Richard Stockton, and American writer and humorist who lived from 1834 to 1902. Below, I provide you with a persuasive paragraph. Keep in mind that this question asks for your opinion, so feel free to adapt the paragraph to your own ideas:

In "The Lady, or the Tiger," author Frank R. Stockton makes a point of describing the princess and her father as being "semi-barbaric". What he means is that they let their emotions get the best of them and that they act in ways that are not justifiable. The king, for instance, comes up with a trial that he considers fair, when it is in fact anything but. The accused must choose a door behind which there is either a maiden or a tiger. Choosing the tiger means that person is guilty and should be devoured by the beast. Choosing the maiden means he is innocent, and his reward is to be forced to marry her. <u>As for the princess, she is clearly impulsive and jealous. She falls in love with a man of inferior rank. When her father sends the man to trial, she is able to find out which door leads to which outcome. However - and Stockton does take his time making this description -, she is consumed with jealousy. She wants the man to live, but she cannot bear the image of him marrying someone else. So, what does she choose? To my mind, she sends him to the tiger. Stockton made sure to describe her as jealous and semi-barbaric, and that cannot have been for nothing. I believe the author wants us to see this woman as capable of sending the man she loves to death simply because she does not want anyone else to have him.</u>

Rather than present an idealized version of nature, Whitman expresses an unusual insight about nature in his poem "This Compost.
asambeis [7]

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

Nature produces clean beauty from the rotting bodies of dead humans.

Nature can hurt us through the poison in the earth, air, and water.

Nature appears deceptively safe when actually it is quite dangerous.

Nature's cycles are just like a human's life cycle.

Answer:

Nature produces clean beauty from the rotting bodies of dead humans.

Explanation:

In "This Compost," Whitman shows an alternative view of nature that we rarely find in poems. He shows that nature, in addition to being beautiful, is a large deposit of cadavers, which is in stark contrast to the idealized view of nature that poets propose to us. In this poem, the poet decided to portray, death, rot and decay of what dies and is left on earth, which even before that, manages to produce life, beauty and fruit.

Answer:

Diary entry recording an experience after visiting a traditional village fair.

Explanation:

12 October 2019

Dear Diary,

Once, our whole family had gone on a vacation to the northeast states. And on one occasion, my father took me and my younger sister to a traditional village fair which was our very first experience attending any such fairs. It was more than I had imagined. The whole ground was full of people moving along, with stalls erected in all corners. The stalls have toys, food, clothing, necessities, and even handmade bamboo products. While the fun and activities part was on another side of the huge ground, I was more into the crafts and wooden products. I asked around for the price, thinking that they'll be too costly and I wouldn't probably have it in me to buy them. But to my surprise, they were so cheap, compared to how things are in my home city of Delhi. I asked my father to buy me so many things that I had to make choices.

Moreover, the one most surprising thing was the friendliness and openness of the village people in helping others, even strangers. They knew we were from out of town and made sure that we are safe, and immediately tried their best to help, even by the old women who couldn't speak English. While their native language was foreign to us, that did not stop them from voicing their concern.

My sister got so many traditional dolls, toys, and other art crafts. I think this was the one time we got ourselves so many things. But it was such a wonderful experience being there, and I don't regret ever spending time or money there.

I only hope I can go there again next year.

Here's hoping for that.

Love,

Sneha.
