Answer and Explanation:

1. Because she is a woman far ahead of her time, presenting women in positions that were not stimulated in society and that could shock listeners. Her story is about female freedom, wisdom and even sexual freedom and that was not something advocated in women at the time.

2. The king's punishment is for the knight to be executed for having abused a maiden against her will.

3. The queen begs the king for mercy. The irony in this is that no one imagined that the queen would impose a task so that the knight would not be executed, as readers might think that she would intercede for the knight only because she was kind and not a strategist as she proved to be.

4. Bath's wife claims that having the power to dominate is what binds women to men, because by dominating their husbands, women are able to satisfy their desires and enjoy everything that gives them pleasure. What the old woman values most is the loyalty between the couple

Imagine that you were in the same situation as Harrison Bergeron and would you have acted the way he did, or would you have done
Helen [10]
If I were Harrison in exactly the same situation, I would have chosen to save other people. Since Harrison has to be smarter than the rest of the people in the story because of the insane number of handicaps he wears, I think I would have spent time prior to escaping finding a way to free other people of their handicaps and overtaking the government, especially the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers. 
Instead of going on national television to find an empress, I would have escaped underground and found others to help me or I would have found a way to get the weapons/fighters/etceteras to help me actually overthrow the government. I would have tried to find ways to help people celebrate their unique talents while also finding a way to make sure that people aren't discriminated against so that society could be fair to all people and still rich with culture and art and things of beauty.

As the story is told, Harrison and the empress were killed by Glampers, and because of the handicaps, nobody even knows it happened, not even his parents...and it happens on live television! There is no way a revolution could be started if there aren't people to keep the fight going. It makes a lot more sense to overthrow the government first and then find someone to dance with.

For me personally, I would want to use my talents to help other people, and, since the story seems to want the reader to think about how important individuality is, I think I would want my story to be one that embraced my talents and strengths in a way that would really help other people.

What is the meaning of the word waste as it is used in the passage? What does the use of the word waste suggest?.
Elena-2011 [213]

The meaning of the word "waste" as it is used in the passage is:

<em>Destroy</em>

The use of the word "waste" suggests:

<em>Death is destructive and devastating.</em>

Let's explore the poem from which this was taken from.

<h3>About John Keats' poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn"</h3>

"Ode on a Grecian Urn" is known to be metaphorical. The poet takes a look at beauty and uses it to relate the relationship between human life and its beauty. He went further to show how they complement each other.

We see the use of "waste" in the last stanza to talk about death:

"<em>When old age shall this generation waste, / Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe / Than ours, a friend to man". </em>
