Answer:

Sorry if the answer is too long

Explanation:

The March girls' father, like their mother, is essentially perfect. However, he's also absent, or silently in the background, for most of the novel. For the first half of the book, he's far away, serving as a chaplain in the Civil War. When he does come back, he proves to be a quiet, thoughtful man who busies himself with thinking about philosophical issues. Although he's a source of moral guidance for the family – and indeed for the whole community – he's still only a character sketch, the outline of a person instead of a fully-rounded individual.

To understand why Mr. March is such a vague character, we have to get a little biographical on you. If you're thinking that maybe Louisa May Alcott had father issues, well, you're absolutely right. Her own father, Bronson Alcott, was a Transcendentalist philosopher and unconventional thinker. He was overbearing and had frequent conflicts with his daughter Louisa. He also had a tendency to disrupt the family with his crazy projects – such as a communal living experiment called Fruitlands that he designed, where the Alcott family lived for a number of years in Louisa's childhood, until it failed. (You can read Alcott's satirical account of this experiment in her short story "Transcendental Wild Oats," which is a short, fun, and extremely weird read.)

The point is not that Bronson Alcott is the same as Mr. March – far from it. Instead, we like to think of Mr. March as the father that Louisa May Alcott wished she had, the father that she gives to her heroine Jo. The father Louisa wanted was also a philosopher, but more laid back, willing to let his wife and daughters take charge of some things. He's also compassionate toward Jo and always listens to her and her problems – unlike Bronson Alcott, who tended to tell Louisa exactly what was wrong with her!

How secondary sources should be used in an analytical research report, compared to primary sources.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Secondary sources help us have a big picture of a topic and understand how other researchers have approached it. They often interpret and analyze many primary sources that can be difficult and time-consuming to synthesize by ourselves. They allow us to:  

• Gain an overview of the topic  

• Support or contrast our arguments with other researchers’ ideas  

• Gather information from primary sources that are not directly accessible

Therefore, it can be helpful to consult secondary sources when you write a report. If you want to mention an article or study cited in a secondary source, search for the original source and cite it directly.

Read the excerpt from Anthem. Perhaps they cried out in protest and in warning. But men paid no heed to their warning. And they,
mestny [16]

The right answer is: Depicts the collective society as a destructive force that represses the independent thinker. Ayn Rand, the author of "Anthem", is one of the most controversial authors and philosophers of the twentieth century throughout her novels and lectures, Rand introduces her audience to her philosophy, Objectivism, which encourages people to be selfish and live a better life. To achieve this, you should do whatever you want, but without creating victims. To Rand, selfishness means to work hard, earn self-esteem, pursue the happiness and grow by treating others with the same value.

Written in 1937, Rand intended to use Anthem as a critic of collectivism, the philosophy that individuals exist only to contribute to the well-being of the society. In the novel, individualism has been erased and the world is crumbling.
