English

Answer:

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) the versatile dramatist used contemporary social, political and religious problems as subjects for his plays. Pygmalion, perhaps the only one of his many plays in which he points out to his audience and his readers that he has used an ancient classical myth to explore a problem that is not merely contemporary but one that has lasted through time. This myth is the story of Pygmalion – Galatea which has been told and retold by several later writers in differing forms. In the most familiar version of this myth, Pygmalion was the king of Cyprus. He was also a great sculptor who used to make beautiful statues of bronze, marble and ivory. He was devoted to his art and always sought for perfection at any. Dressed in Opera Cloak with diamonds, fan, flowers and all other accessories she passes like a Duchess, creating sensation in the whole atmosphere. Nepummuck, the marvelous interpreter (and Higgins’ previous student also to whom he taught phonetics) identifies her as a Hungarian princess. Thus her success at the ambassador’s reception is overwhelming. But the experiment is followed by its aftermath. As euphoria of triumph is over, Eliza is faced with the stark reality. She has become disclassed, left unfit for her old life and unable for her old life and unable to forge a new one Eliza is tragic in her fear and despair. Higgins is also quite unsentimental and unromantic in his approach to Eliza. Looking to this attitude of Professor Higgins Eliza shouted on him asking; “What am I fit for? Where am I to go? What am I to do? What to become of me? Higgins’ this attitude of indifference drives her to Freddy, who worships her. Eliza leaves Higgins house and so takes decisive step into the future. Shaw explains the sexual attitude of Higgins towards Eliza in terms of the Oedipus Complex. In Appendix he says “If an imaginative boy has a suffering rich mother who has intelligence, personal grace, dignity of character without harshness and a cultivated sense of the best art of her time to enable her to make her house beautiful.

What is the overall tone of “The Lady of Shalott”? How does Tennyson convey this tone?
Serjik [45]
<span>The overall tone of the poem is melancholy. Tennyson conveyed this tone by using descriptive words which depict the downcast background and lonely situation of the characters. He was able to dramatize every aspect of the poem by using symbols to express its mood. Despite the Lady of Shalott's acceptance of being a prisoner in her own kingdom, she managed to be patient because of her desire to finish her woven piece to show her devotion to her loved one.</span>

after reading “for the birds” do you think putting out bird feeders is a good idea support your answer with evidence from the te
Andrews [41]

Answer:

After reading the article, I still believe that feeding the birds is a good idea.

Explanation:

The article shows that installing feeders that provide food to birds is a good action, but that it may not satisfy the real needs of birds, as each of them has a different nutritional need, and feeding them can expose them to dangers that they would not have in the urban environment.

However, even in the face of the negative points, I believe that installing bird feeders remains a good idea, since, with increasingly strong deforestation, birds have been experiencing difficult situations to find food, water and sometimes even shelter. Thus, being able to help them at least by feeding them is a noble and commendable step.
