Answer:

Iron Maiden's reference to the line from Shakespeare's play is an example of:

B. literary allusion.

Explanation:

<u>The figure of speech known as allusion happens when an author references to something or someone, but in an indirect manner. </u>For instance, suppose you are writing an essay about kindness and selflessness. If you call someone a good Samaritan, you are alluding to a biblical character known for his kindness. When making an allusion, just like that one, the author expects the reader or listener to know what he is talking about. You do not explain what a good Samaritan is, since you expect your readers to know about the biblical story.

<u>That is what we have in Iron Maiden's song: a literary allusion. The composer of the lyrics used lines from Shakespeare's play, from a literary work. He does not explain them, but he expects his listeners to know what he is referencing to.</u>

why smoking should not be banned in public places? don't tell me why they should be banned give me an idea on why they should no
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

1. Property Rights

Most fundamentally, the debate about smoking bans should center on private property rights. Whether you should be allowed to smoke in a bar should be determined by the owner of that bar, not by busybody bureaucrats who think they know how to live everyone’s lives for them.

2. Second-hand Smoke Isn't as Harmful as Once Thought

In 2013 already there were indications that the commonly accepted narrative on second-hand smoke wasn't entirely accurate. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute (which the below-mentioned Slate article calls "hardly a pro-tobacco publication") published a study which finds no significant relationship between passive smoke and cancer:

"A large prospective cohort study of more than 76,000 women confirmed a strong association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer but found no link between the disease and secondhand smoke."

3. Smoking Bans Don’t Make People Healthier

An immensely informative article by Jacob Grier in Slate finally sorted through the questionable "proof" behind the second-hand smoke myth. The bans had largely been implemented because early studies believed there to be a correlation between secondhand smoke and heart disease. Politicians, however, should have waited for more research to be done. In fact, Grier reveals that a 2006 study in the Piedmont region in Italy (published in the European Heart Journal) revealed an 11 percent drop in heart disease, a much smaller drop than the 60 percent that politicians had promised.

After a sweeping ban on smoking inside in England, a 2010 study found a heart attack reduction of only 2 percent. That number is so small that it might not be related to the bans at all. A 2008 study in New Zealand found no correlation whatsoever. The Journal of Policy Analysis and Management published a study in 2010 that also found no significant impact in any age group. Similar US-studies appeared in 2012 and 2014.  

4. Smoking Bans Don’t Discourage Smoking

Moreover, smoking bans don't actually reduce smoking. Data in France (which implemented its smoking ban in 2008) shows that consumption of tobacco products only correlates with prices.

In Blind, Emma Silver loses her eyesight in a nightmarish accident and she must relearn everything, such as how to cross a busy
Grace [21]

Answer:

In blind the author Rachel DeWoskin uses negative connotation in paragraph 7 the text states, "I’m not courageous enough.” This shows negative connation because she is struggling to accept her new "normal" and is fearful that she will not succeed at learning life again due to her becoming visually impaired.

In the text the author uses positive connotation in paragraph 21 and 23 the text states, "A dozen eggs,” she said. “Do you want to throw them?...Anywhere you want." This shows positive connotation because she is trying to turn a new leaf and by throwing eggs its helping her cope with her "new" beginnings and relearning her way around life.
