Conventions of English 11:Question 2

An information source can be defined as a system or medium through which informations, knowledge and ideas may be gotten and used by an individual. An information source can either be a primary or secondary source of information. The source options for informations are television, radio, web, newspapers, journals, magazines etc.

The four criteria used to evaluate source options are;

1. Accuracy: the user of this source of information should check if the data presented are accurate and credible. At this point, you should ensure that the informations provided are well researched and cited for verification.

2. Authority: you should endeavor to know who the author and publisher of the information source is. Also, it is important to know their qualifications.

3. Currency: it is necessary to know when the information source was created or produced by the author. Also, the user of this data should verify when it was published (in the case of a book) or if it requires an update (in the case of a website). Hence, the information source should be timely.

4. Objectivity: ensure that the source of information is unbiased, reliable, and should not only contain opinions but facts.

In conclusion, any source option that meets or satisfies the aforementioned criteria is credible, factual and reliable for use.

Digital news era refers to the modern information sources that relies on the use of internet and technology for the dissemination of information to the readers or audience. Some examples are blogs, forums, social media platforms, etc.

However, a challenge of the digital news era is simply the creation or availabilty of more unreliable news sources due to easy access to the internet and smartphones or other communication gadgets.

Romeo and juliet act 4 test

Damm [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

He will do this ritual every night for ever because of his love for Juliet. In the line, “Or, wanting that, with tears …,” the word “wanting” is used in the sense that “that” something is not there, but should be: if the “that” is not there, then the situation is “wanting” it. It’s an old-fashioned use of the word “want.” Nowadays, we don’t generally think of mere situations as being able to want anything. Another example of this is, “The boy gives me warning something doth approach. What cursed foot wanders this way tonight.”

This suggests that Paris does not want to be seen by Juliet’s grave because he is ashamed to have someone see him like this. The way the language is used portrays that he is nervous and in a hurry. He questions why anyone would be out this late at night. The word “Doth” is used by Shakespeare because it was relevant during the Elizabethan reign. “Doth” means “Do” in old English. Continuing his questioning, Paris says, “To cross my obsequies and true love’s rite? What with a torch! Muffle me, night, awhile.”

This implies that Paris is angry that someone has interrupted his “Obsequies” and “True love’s rite” because he wanted to be alone to grieve. He seems surprised that the person has brought a torch as he thought they would be more discreet. He sees that they would be able to spot him so he hurries away, hiding in the darkness for a while. The word “Muffle” suggests that Paris wants to be enveloped in the darkness. The effect on the audience is it creates tension.

The audience is eager to find out what happens to Romeo and what Paris will do to defend Juliet. After Paris watches Romeo for a while he declares, ”And here is come to do some villainous shame to the dead bodies. I will apprehend him.” This suggests that Paris supposes that Romeo means to continue the feud with the Capulets. Paris believes that Romeo has come to commit an awful crime against the dead bodies of the Capulets.

This would intensify the feud as the Capulets would assume that the Montagues did the crime therefore, creating conflict. To stop this Paris decides to catch Romeo. The word “Apprehend” shows that Paris is certain the Romeo is going to commit a crime. Apprehending someone is to arrest them

I will always yearn for the things I don't have or can't experience. But looking at what I do have and how much worse things used to be, or can be, helps take everything into perspective.

Explanation:

This response is based off of my personal experience in life
