In "The Last Voyage of the Ghost Ship​" the boy's mother doesn't show interest in the story that her son tells because this story is too far-fetched and unreal, she thinks the boy is fantasizing and imagining non-existent things.

"The last voyage of the ghost ship​" is a story written by Gabriel Garcia Marques. In this story the author makes extensive use of magical realism, which is a literary genre where magical elements are represented in the real world.

In "The last voyage of the ghost ship​" we are introduced to a boy, who when observing the horizon, sees a ship and a captain that appears and disappears constantly, when the boy goes to investigate about this ship, he realizes that this ship and his captain leave no tracks and no evidence of their existence, but the boy always sees them.

He tells about it to his mother, but she doesn't pay attention to the words he says and shows no interest, because he believes that this is too fanciful a story and that the boy is making it up.

Write an essay about the thesis of Romeo and Juliet. Use information from the play or book.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

the start of the play, Romeo is a hopeless romantic, That is to say, He is in love with his enemy's daughter 1 day after breaking up with his first love, for example, at the start of the play when Romeo is talking with Benvolio, Romeo says: “bid a sick man in sadness make his will- a word ill urg’d to one that is so ill: in sadness, cousin, i do love a woman.” He is saying that he is in love with Rosaline but a couple days later he is in love with juliet, he say this to juliet: “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss” He confessing love for juliet even though he just broke up Rosaline, this shows me that Romeo falls for people to easily and he is hopeless romantic who doesn’t understand …show more content… When Romeo finds out about Juliet’s death, he rushes to her tomb only to find paris, kills him, finds juliet and then kills himself. For example, by the end of act 5 he says; “O my love, my wife, Death, that hath suck’d the honey honey of thy breath, Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.” He is explaining how he loves her and she didn’t need to die. Another example is; “Here’s to my love! O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss i die.” He has killed himself over a girl he barely knew. This shows me that Romeo is being dramatic and foolish when he kill paris and himself. In conclusion, Romeo is a foolish young boy who overreacts when a girl he just me dies. In conclusion of this entire essay, Romeo is a victim of fate, Romeo is a rash and emotional young man. He feels deeply and acts quickly, often without thinking through his actions. His attitude towards love is over-enthusiastic. Romeo believes that love is what makes life worthwhile, which is why he is so desperate to be in love. He stays in love with Rosaline, even after she rejects him, up to the point when he falls in love with Juliet.

The setting in The Crucible was one that _____.
UkoKoshka [18]

The setting in The Crucible was one that was in Salem, Massachusetts in the late 17th century. Its setting is real as based on true story. In the play, the community used is superstitious and paranoid. With a strong aversion to witches, the play events occurred within a Puritan society. To make the setting real the actors use background and props which are identical to the setting of the Salem village. Due to the setting being intense and small it creates a dark and depressing atmosphere.

Why is the falling rhythm of the pattern that starts with a stressed syllable, followed by two unstressed syllables, appropriate
Mama L [17]

Answer:

because of the defeat the army suffered

The British light cavalry, led by Lord Cardigan consisted of the "Light Brigade." However, due to miscommunication, the brigade was sent to a different artillery battery, which they were not well-prepared or well-suited to fight against. This resulted to the increased number of British casualties.

Thus, the poem used a falling rhythm in its pattern in order to show how the army suffered because of being defeated. Their defeat forced them to retreat at once.

So, this explains the answer.
