English

Answer:

Hermia does not want to sleep with Lysander until they are married. This scene occurs in Act II Scene II. Hermia has run away to be with Lysander instead of Demetrius and expects to be married to him soon, but she believes that proper maids and bachelors do not sleep together before marriage. Lysander tells her that he only wanted to sleep close to her innocently, but she resists. The following quotation is her response to his suggestion that they sleep side-by-side:

But, gentle friend, for love and courtesy

Lie further off; in human modesty,

Such separation as may well be said

Becomes a virtuous bachelor and a maid,

So far be distant; and, good night, sweet friend:

Thy love ne'er alter till thy sweet life end!

In this same night, Puck puts the love potion on Lysander's eyes because he was instructed by Oberon to give it to an Athenian man without specifying which one. Lysander awakes and falls in love with Helena, the first woman he sees. The crazy web of misplaced love begins to unravel from here.

Which of the following best summarizes "The Land of Red Apples"?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

b) Zitkála-Šá traveled with several other children to a missionary school in the east. She was treated much differently at school than at her home, which caused her anxiety and pain. Her first night at the school, she cried herself to sleep, grieving the absence of her mother and aunt.

Explanation:

The arrival of Sa's at school was traumatic. All the kids got haircuts. Only enemy-captured cowards got haircuts in Dakota culture. Zitkala-Sa hid in a vacant room. The school personnel brought her out, strapped her to a chair, and chopped off her braids as she wailed. She later said that school employees didn't care about her sentiments and treated children like "little animals."

After a few years, Zitkala-Sa was allowed to visit her mother during school breaks. Her mother urged her to quit school during the visit. Later, she said, visiting home was sad. The teacher returned. She may have felt that she didn't belong on the reserve, like many children. School altered her.
