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 does the bill of rights play a role today?
Alja [10]
The bill of rights play a role today, in that people living in the US are given rights such as the freedom of speech, assembly, religion, etc, and that the government should not try to interfere with a person living in the US's belief unless it starts to hurt other people. Without it, our citizens would not have been part of a democratic nation, and it would not have had a right to voice and do what they want (that is, while it is under the law)

meriva

Answer:

2. Tragedy: It explores themes of personal flaws and downfalls and it evokes fear and pity from the audience.

3. History: It dramatizes the lives of monarchs and it aims to instil national pride.

Explanation:

Williams Shakespeare was an English poet, actor and playwright (dramatist). Shakespeare was born on the 26th of April, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. He died on the 13th of April, 1616 in England.

Williams Shakespeare was considered to have lived a fulfilled life as he is the world's greatest playwright and writer in English language.

Around 1586, Shakespeare worked as an actor, writer and co-owner of a drama company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men (later known as King's Men when it received a royal patent from King James I).

Generally, Shakespeare' drama are categorized into three (3) main categories and these are;

1. <u>Comedy</u>: a Shakespearean comedy isn't entirely like a mainstream comedy  but it contains some moment of laughter and a dramatic storyline. Also, it sometimes end with the characters getting married to each other.

Some Shakespearean comedy plays are; The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, Taming of the Shrew, All's Well That Ends Well, As You Like It, The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, etc.

Hence, the main characteristics of a comedy include;

  • <em>It includes happy endings.</em>
  • <em>It explores theme of love.</em>

2. <u>Tragedy</u>: it contains a more serious and dramatic plot which typically involves the death of a main character (protagonist).

Some Shakespearean tragedy plays are; Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, Macbeth, Titus Andronicus, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, King Lear, Othello, etc.

Hence, the main characteristics of a tragedy include;

  • <em>It explores themes of personal flaws and downfalls.</em>
  • <em>It evokes fear and pity from the audience.</em>

3. <u>History</u>: it's mainly focused on English monarchs and Elizebethan propaganda, glorifying her Tudor ancestors and illustrating the negative impacts of Civil war.

Some Shakespearean histories are; King John, Henry V, Henry IV, Richard II, Henry VI, etc.

Hence, the main characteristics of a history include;

  • <em>It aims to instil national pride.</em>
  • <em>It dramatizes the lives of monarchs.</em>
