Answer:

keeps the engine of the ship moving.

Explanation:

The lines "Steam was our handmaid and our servant flame" was said by John Masefield in regard to a ship. Steam is considered as an important factor that keeps the engine of the ship moving. Though it lies inside and cannot be seen outwardly on the exterior of the ship, it is what makes the ship working and moving.

Similarly, the speaker compares the steam to a handmaid who also works and maintains a house from inside. It is like a flame/feul that burns inside just like a home aid who works inside the house.

2) Examine each of the following topics. Determine if the topic is too broad, too narrow, or appropriate for the research essay.

The history of manned space flight: The topic is appropriate for research because it is specific and will find almost the same information in every source you consult.
Breeds of dogs in the Westminster Dog Show: The topic is too narrow which might make the research a little empty (with not too much information).
The history of domestic animals (house pets): The topic is too broad and the research might not be focused but too general.
The results of Project Genome: The topic is appropriate for research because it is relevant and specific
The formation of cumulonimbus clouds: The topic is too narrow and might make the research empty/flat and lacking in relevance
The results of the Battle of Gettysburg: The topic is appropriate for research because it is historically relevant.

EXTRA INFO:

When you start developing a specific topic, the main problem you may face is having a topic that is too narrow or too broad.

Your topic is too narrow when you find very little information about it

Your topic is too broad when you find too many sources or too much information that it might not even be focused but too general.

And when your topic is appropriate it is when you find the important and needed information or you could also narrow a topic that is too broad.

Hope this answer helps you! Have a great day.

Do you feel any pity for lady macbeth?

baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The great thing about any Shakespearean Play is that there are always alternatives to any answer to any question. So in this case, her mental state is really a two edged sword.

I'm sure she did not fully see what the consequences of her part in Duncan's murder would be. To her, it was a simple matter of killing Duncan which would lead Macbeth from being Thane to King.

She sounds tough as she urges Macbeth to commit the dead. There's nothing I know of that contradicts that stance.

But what she finds out is that Macbeth has

powerful enemies
witches who are very crafty
witches whose power Macbeth has not taken into consideration.
witches whose prophecies Macbeth does not take the trouble to interpret

Lady Macbeth is not told enough to make her cautious. All she sees is the crown. I do not like her very much, but I do pity her.
