PLEASE HURRY. Between the two jobs, I would be making about $320 a week after taxes, so that the $179 in rent would have amounte

d to about 55 percent of my income, which is beginning to look “affordable.”(7) But Rainbow also falls through; they decide they want me to work part-time five days a week, not just on weekends. Furthermore, I have no control at the moment over what my days off will be. Howard has scheduled me to have Friday off one week, Tuesday and Wednesday the next, and I would have to do some serious sucking up to arrive at a more stable and congenial schedule.
Ergo, I either need to find a husband, like Melissa, or a second job, like some of my other coworkers. In the long run everything will work out if I devote my mornings to job-hunting, while holding out for a Park Plaza opening or, better yet, a legitimate apartment at $400 a month or $100 a week. But to paraphrase Keynes: in the long run, we’ll all be broke, at least those of us who work for low wages and live in exorbitantly overpriced motels.

(from page 170 of Nickel and Dimed)

In the excerpt above, the author suggests that she could “find a husband like Melissa.” What does this suggest?
A.
It takes two incomes for a household to make ends meet if you have a low-wage job.
B.
The author believes that men should be the breadwinners in a relationship.
C.
The author wants to point out how unscrupulous Melissa is.
D.
It is more important to find a husband than to find a good-paying job.
E.
Men have an easier time getting high-paying jobs than women, so Melissa is smart.

I haven't read this book but there doesn't seem to be any negative connotation with the quote. The next best answer is E if that is wrong.

Reread Hamlet’s fourth soliloquy below; it is found in the play in Act 4, Scene 4. Then answer the questions on this page and pr
kati45 [8]

Answer to Question 1: Hamlet becomes increasingly furious with both himself and whoever harmed those who he cared about. A visceral sentiment of vengeance consumes him as he realizes his mind won't be at peace if he simply stands around fearfully inside his aristocratic eggshell, and the sentiment won't snuff out until the ones responsible for his anger are punished.



Answer to Question 2: Hamlet believes he will become a beast if he gives himself into an avenging wrath, but it does not matter to him as long as his grieving thoughts are cleansed. Ignoring the incident would simply preserve his plight.



Answer to Question 3: The audience should feel compasion for the man in duel, and be afraid that a good man who's well aware of his own thoughts and conclusions - a man that has lost nearly everything - gave into the rage.



Director's notes on Proper Soliloquies.

An actor who aims to perform a soliloquy must look around their environment, focus on a significant element of the scene, and procced to describe with detail how the sight makes them feel - repeat the process with the rest of the scene -. The actor should change the tone of their voice between the lines depending on the current feeling of their character; shouting it all should not be neccesary and might be considered exaggerated.

list ten attributes (characteristics) about your favorite character in monster (book) with evidence to support it.​
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Of course perhaps that is not solid evidence because most people would probably believe that they are not a bad person; however, other people in the book that truly know Steve's personality attest to the fact that Steve is a good kid.  Take Mr. Sawicki for example.  He is Steve's favorite teacher and he says that Steve is "talented, bright, and compassionate."  Those character traits are absolutely true about Steve, and they are shown concretely in the way that he loves and treats his brother, Jerry.
