What does Thoreau mean when he writes, “For most men, it appears to me, are in

English
1 answer:
Tresset [83]2 years ago
4 0

The basic idea of this quote )and the lines that come before it) is that one must live life to the fullest extent possible. Thoreau is giving this as his reason for coming out into the woods. He doesn't want to be in the position where, when he's about to die, he realizes that he never really lived.

Write one full paragraph in answer to each question to demonstrate your understanding of the story.
Evgesh-ka [11]
Achilles was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of his pride because he did not listen to the advice of others and protect his achilles heel, the only place where someone could kill him.  Achilles couldn't be killed except if you were to shoot an arrow into his heel, so by not protecting his heel, Achilles pride got in the way which lead to his death.  He ended up getting shot by a poisoned arrow in his heel and died.  Achilles was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of pride.  He sacrificed something huge for something so small.

Hope this helps you.

What is Horatio's feelings in act 1 of Hamlet?
Mariana [72]

Horatio is Hamlet's closest friend, and he's the only one who really seems to deserve the title. Unlike Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (also Hamlet's old chums), Horatio's loyalty and common sense are rock-steady throughout the play.

In fact, one of the first things we learn about Horatio is his good sense. When we first see Horatio, he's been called to the castle by the guards because he's a "scholar" (he goes to school in Wittenberg with Hamlet). That means he should be able to judge whether or not the apparition that's been appearing on the battlements is actually a ghost. According to Marcellus, Horatio says that the ghost is "but [the guards'] fantasy, / And will not let belief take hold of him" (1.1.28-29).

He's convinced of the spirit's legitimacy soon enough, but his initial skepticism introduces the first note of doubt in the play, one that will haunt his friend Hamlet for several acts.

Silver listens to their complaintssss and replies to each of them separately lol while the men listen. During his response, Silver tells the men that they're weak and should have been tailors instead of 'men o' fortune,' which is a nice way of saying 'pirate.
