Answer:

“All the answers being different, the King agreed with none of them, and gave the reward to none. But still wishing to find the right answers to his questions, he decided to consult a hermit, widely renowned for his wisdom.”

“The King went up to him and said: ‘I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions: How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay more attention than to the rest? And, what affairs are the most important, and need my first attention?’”

Explanation:

<em>The Three Questions</em> is a short story written by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. It's written as a parable - a simple, short story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson.

It tells about a king who seeks the answers to what he considers the three most important questions in life. He turns to wise men, promising a large sum to the one who manages to give him the answers. However, none of them satisfied him as he found their answers too diverse. Then, he heard of a wise hermit and decided to turn to him for help. In the end, he is the one he receives his answers from.

The quotes that support the conclusion that the author's primary purpose is to teach a lesson are the first and fourth ones. They are the only ones that revolve around the King's questions. The fact that he is looking for answers suggests that we will receive some kind of important lesson at the end of the story.

Answer:

Making a transition to High School

Although I knew it would be a change from elementary school, high school

was a total surprise to me. In particular, I was most shocked by three differences that asserted that high school would be an entirely different experience.

One difference that I noticed right away is that the subjects I am taking are definitely more complex and advanced. For example, in Elementary school I took science and math and now I have biology and algebra classes instead. High school also offers more subjects than elementary. I find that with all the new subjects learning has become more interesting.

Another surprise is the amount of homework. I find that I have twice as much homework in high school compared to elementary school. In elementary school I spent about an hour every week night doing homework but now I spend about two hours a day, sometimes even on weekends. However, longer library periods help me get some of my homework done during school hours. Although the homework takes longer and is harder than before, it gives me a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

When I discovered I was having trouble concentrating in library periods, I realized how much more crowded high school is compared to Elementary school. The library is jam packed with students, many of whom I don’t even know. With so many students, high school has a more competitive atmosphere. An example of this is seen in the overwhelming number of students trying out for the same spots on the sports teams. Nevertheless, the added rivalry has a beneficial hand, It Keeps me clever.

While the distinctions between elementary and high school are significant, At first, I was unsettled, but now I find that they all have a strong plus side. I’m beginning to embrace the idea that high school is a whole new experience. The changes such as the different subjects, more homework and a bigger crowd become less surprising everyday.

Why does Hamlet comment on Alexander the Great when he is looking at all the skulls on the ground?
Fiesta28 [93]
Hamlet comments on Alexander the Great in this scene, because when he holds up Horatio's skull, he thinks about how it does not matter who a person is during his or her lifetime, all people are the same once they die. He goes on to describe that even a person as prominent as Alexander the Great will rot and decay like everyone else, regardless of his importance during his lifetime.

What does the author most likely mean by memory is an abstract painting
Nitella [24]
I'm not too sure but I will try. An abstract painting is a painting that isn't very clear to people or that doesn't depict a clear image (It doesn't make much sense to anyone but the person who drew it). When people remember stuff sometimes it isn't very clear, or if they try to explain it to someone else the other person doesn't understand it well, So all in all, I believe the author is trying to say that a memory is usually unclear or foreign to anyone but the person who had that memory.
