4. Do you believe McCandless is to blame for his own death? Explain your answer

English
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]2 years ago
7 0

Chris' inability to forsee problems contributed to his death. He thought he was prepared, but he wasn't. His ignorance about the condition of the Teklanika, his insistence on visiting “uncharted territory,” by not brining a map, meant that once he was ready, mentally and emotionally, to leave, he physically could not. Thus, although he did not purposely mean to take his life (some believe it was sui cide), it comes down to the fact he was ignorant, ill prepared, and should have predicted he would need more than the few supplies he brought with him. Thus, he was responsible for his own death...... an unfortunate and very sad ending to a very young life.

which three parts of this excerpt from editha by William Dean Howell's denote the meaninglessness of war​
g100num [7]

Answer:

a. They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went

c. some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches

d.  You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."

Explanation:

The short story "Editha" by William Dean Howell revolves around the character Editha who thinks that war is glorious and 'forces' her fiancé to enlist. But in the end, the man died, thus showing how useless war is.

After Editha persuades George to enlist for the war, he did not return alive, which led to the outburst of George's mother. She lamented that just because she (Editha) <em>"thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of"</em> doesn't justify the war. She also commented on how people <em>"think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went"</em>. She also referred to the foreigners who weren't there as <em>"poor wretches".</em>

Thus, <u>options a, c, and d shows the meaninglessness of war</u>.

Debate on the topic youths of today are to blame for not taking education seriously ​
likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

i believe that the adults are to blame. not the youth,while youth have their moments. the adults are considerably the ones who slack off. the youth of this century are fighting for rights, helping to end violence, and work hard to support themselves and their families... with all the pressure of social media, bullying, and hatred piling on top of them, it feels ridiculous to even focus on education. i mean we are the ones taking the role of the adults.
