Answer and Explanation:

<u>F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story "Bernice Bobs her Hair" can be divided into three major parts when it comes to its structure. In the first part, Bernice is Marjorie's unpopular cousin who ends up either boring or annoying anyone who dances or talks to her. In the second part, Bernice is under Marjorie's guidance, and she quickly becomes popular. Finally, in the last part, Bernice is so successful that Marjorie, jealous, sets her up and forces her to get her hair cut. As we will see below, each part is closely related to the way Bernice's character changes.</u>

Now, let's focus on the three most important characters:

Marjorie does no seem to change throughout the story. She does not like Bernice at all and, even though she helps her during the second part, she does not do it out of compassion or love for her cousin. She does it to make her own life better, so that she can stop taking care of Bernice. In the end, when Bernice takes revenge by cutting Marjorie's hair while she sleeps, the narrator does not reveal how that affects Marjorie. Given her personality, she may have been angry, but was probably able to pull it off.

Warren is the boy both Marjorie and Bernice like. Warren too does not seem to evolve. He goes from liking Marjorie in the first part to liking Bernice in the second part and back to liking Marjorie in the final one. Warren serves as a catalyst for the climax of the story since it is because of him that Marjorie sets Bernice up.

<u>Bernice is the one who changes the most. She goes from weak to powerful quite quickly. In the first part, Bernice is very much influenced by the values of her mother's generation. She thinks being feminine means being fragile. However, once she opens her mind to Marjorie's teachings in the second part, Bernice soon becomes empowered. She sees there is more to being feminine - she can be strong and sensual, for instance. In the end, after falling into Marjorie's trap, instead of going back to her old, helpless self, Bernice sneaks into Marjorie's room and cuts her cousin's hair while she is asleep. Old Bernice would never have had the courage to do that. But in the third part, her evolution is complete, and Bernice is now a brave, decisive woman who can stand up for herself.</u>

Answer:

Many of Emily Dickinson’s greatest poems begin as if responding to an unheard question or request. ‘I’m Nobody! Who are you?’ is one such poem, and ‘I’ll tell you how the Sun rose’ is another. In this post, we offer some notes towards an analysis of this captivating poem.

I’ll tell you how the Sun rose –

A Ribbon at a time –

The Steeples swam in Amethyst –

The news, like Squirrels, ran –

The Hills untied their Bonnets –

The Bobolinks – begun –

Then I said softly to myself –

‘That must have been the Sun

I hope this helps :)

Do you think our society is selfish with poor morals? Why?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Indeed I think our society is selfish with poor morals because people don't even care about others feelings. For example, there is a girl that win 2,000,000$ with help of her sister, but guess what this girl doesn't give credit to he sister and instead she said that she knew everything and she did everything all by herself. Another example can be: you are at the mall and you find 100$ in the floor, then you see that there is a person that is looking for that money, and instead of giving that money to the person you pick it up and go away. This is a pretty good example of being selfish and immoral. Instead of staying with that money you needed to give it to that person, I mean you didn't know if that money was the only thing that person had.

Plagiarism only applies to writing essays that are turned in to teachers or professors.
tia_tia [17]
The answer is:   [B]:  "False" .
______________________________________________
    Plagiarism applies to the "real world" (that is, the "non-academic" realm), as well!  In fact, published (and in many cases, even "non-published") material that can be referred to as "plagiarized" (e.g. paraphrased ideas, or copied, writing, or translated material, or PowerPoint presentations, business ideas, lectures, etc.). that is published, or presented publically or to a widestream audience— without giving proper credit to source(s) is, in fact, "plagiarism" — and is called "plagiarism" as well.
    In such cases of plagiarism, severe consequences may result, including job demotions/terminations, civil actions (law suits), monetary restitution and public apologies—even companies going bankrupt; as well as reputations destroyed.
    Furthermore, many colleges have academic integrity policies that specifically state that plagiarism still occurs in cases of drafts of work—even when not final written essays—are required to be submitted to teachers/professors/T.A.'s.  Furthermore, plagiarism is not limited to written essays—but also other types of assignments (e.g. oral reports for any class, communication/lecture assignments, any data used/obtains, information on spreadsheets (e.g. accounting/business classes, any artwork, computer science codes).
