Answer and Explanation:

An example of humor that we can see in this book is reflected in many conversations between Atticus and Scout, especially when Jem says a very disrespectful word, to blacks, that he heard at school. At this moment, Atticus shows how the use of this word is improper, mainly in a school that should promote education. In that moment, humor is used, as Scout says that she shouldn't go to school, since that is where she is learning bad words.

Humor in this case is used sarcastically, criticizing people who encourage prejudice and outrage, when they should do the opposite

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The way of positioning poetry as a form of popular education is something that stands out for me in this lecture. This is because it puts poetry, and literature in general, as an influencing and transforming factor in society, since that can stimulate concepts and reflection on problems of a political, social and economic nature.

2. I believe that Langston Hughes' poetry has a strong political and, in a way, democratic and social content, while placing African-Americans within this scenario, to which we are all part.

3. We must stand on our own shoulders and take our responsibility for ourselves and for the defense of democracy and the oversight of politics in our country, since we are responsible citizens for our nation. We must position ourselves and maintain what we represent, within society.

This isn't a great story, to be quite honest. The story focuses less on the ways man used to start fires and more on the ways that nature started fires independently of humans.

That being said, it would seem as though the author is trying to express the fragility of fire early on, and it does seem as though he/she is saying that early on, humans just found a small amount of fire from a really dangerous origin to use as a kindling.

For sure, your answer should come from the second paragraph, which is the paragraph describing early kindling methods.

In 1984 what do we learn about Big Brother at the end of chapter 2
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

therefore risking his life. Winston writes, "April 4th, 1984," and then realizes he is not even certain of the year, as it is impossible to tell if the information the Party disseminates is truly accurate anymore.

Winston begins writing about a violent war film with vivid death scenes. He then remembers an event from earlier in the day that inspired him to begin the diary. It occurred at about eleven hundred that morning (time is kept in the twenty-four hour method) during the Two Minutes Hate, a daily propaganda presentation given to groups at their places of work praising Big Brother, Oceania and the Party, and denouncing Emmanuel Goldstein, the figurehead of capitalism and the Party's number one enemy, and Oceania's current enemy of war. While surrounded by fellow Party members caught up in the fervor of denouncing enemies to the Party, literally screaming and throwing things at the screen and praising Big Brother and Oceania, Winston took note of those around him. He observed the dark-haired girl he had often seen in the Ministry who he hated based purely on her apparent worship of the Party, and also a man named O'Brien, an Inner Party member whom he also often saw in the Ministry of Truth. He and O'Brien made eye contact, and immediately Winston felt as though they were both thinking the same things, realizing that O'Brien also found this practice and the Party's propaganda disgusting. O'Brien, he suddenly understood, also yearned for individual freedoms. Bolstered by what he perceived to be nonverbal support of his anti-Party feelings, Winston resolved to begin his diary that day.

While remembering this event, Winston finds he has unknowingly written, DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER over and over in his diary. Winston feels slightly panicked, but then reminds himself that he knows he will be arrested: it is only a matter of time. A knock on the door interrupts his thoughts. Winston assumes that the Thought Police have already found him, but soon discovers that his visitor is Mrs. Parsons from across the hall. Her husband works with Winston at the Ministry of Truth, and Mrs. Parsons has come to ask Winston to help her unclog her sink. Winston obliges, and in doing so meets her son and daughter, who are both members of the Spies and Youth League, and ardent Party supporters, eager to display their loyalty. In fact, they are begging their mother to take them to the hanging of a declared enemy to the Party, an unfortunately common event. Winston predicts that quite soon these children will denounce their innocent parents to the Thought Police and be publicly named "child heroes."

Hope this helps!! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart to help my account if it did!!
