Answer and Explanation:
Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". Scrooge is a grumpy old man who hates Christmas. He is also greedy and cold-hearted. Scrooge is visited by three ghosts who show him his past, present, and future. Victim of a neglected childhood, if Scrooge does not change his way of treating others, he will end up dying alone.
How do you think Scrooge changed his life after these experiences with the ghosts?
I believe the ghosts helped Scrooge understand the reasons behind his grumpiness. He was neglected by his father as a child, so his aggressive behavior toward others is but a way of protecting himself and his feelings. He is just trying to keep suffering at bay. However justifiable his behavior is, it is keeping people away from Scrooge. He will end up dying alone after driving everyone, even his own family, away.
<u>Now that he is aware of that, Scrooge is likely to be kinder and more patient. Instead of being greedy, he will help others with his money. Instead of being grumpy, he will be joyful. I imagine Scrooge becomes the complete opposite of the person he was at the beginning of the story. He will greet others with a smile, wish them a happy Christmas, invite his family over for dinner, give away presents, etc. For the rest of his life, Scrooge will be surrounded by people.</u>
Answer and Explanation:
Emerson determined the characteristics that a hero must possess. Among these characteristics, Emerson emphasizes the idea that a hero must be highly determined, in addition to having the ability to have an attitude to fight any evil that afflicts people, even if this puts the security of that hero at risk. Through this description, we can consider that for Emerson, Beowulf would be a great hero. First, Beowulf presents himself in history as a man who has a strong determination to use his strength for good. Beowulf is determined to help people and that determination is what allows him to face the most terrible beasts that plague innocent citizens. In addition, these beasts are often stronger than he, as Grendel was. This puts Beowulf in danger when facing these beasts, but he understands that he must use everything he has to protect people who cannot get rid of the terror that the beasts present. For this reason, he faces the beasts, even if it puts his safety at risk and causes his death.
One person I know, who could be considered a hero, from Emerson's description, is my mother. My mother always showed a lot of determination in taking care of her children, making sure that all the family's needs were met, through her tireless effort. She also puts herself in front of the problems that her children face, even putting herself at risk if necessary to protect her children. This shows that in addition to presenting the heroic characteristics determined by Emerson, she has strength and courage to face any adversity.
<u>Answer</u>:
Out of the following sentences, the one that uses dashes correctly is - "The New Zealand Papua New Guinea handball team's stars Fredrickson, lacho, Honey, and Ipatas, have all demonstrated - hey, what's that duck doing here? Here, the right answer is Option B.
<u>Explanation</u>:
There is a surprise element at the end of the sentence which is marked by an exclamation ‘hey’ and a question. So, the dash is placed after the verb ‘demonstrated’ to highlight this surprise element of the sentence.
Also, the dash is used to emphasise on the conclusion or introduction of the sentence. Over here it gives importance to the conclusion of the sentence. Plus, it helps in breaking up the dialogue here.
I don't see any thing wrong with the sentences
It depends.
'Mike and Mary's Pizza' is most likely a place, and a noun is a person, place, or thing. If it is a person's name, a place (such as a street name, name of a place, a city, a country, a town..) it must be capitalized. Just regular English rules.
Now, if the Mike and Mary HAD a pizza, you would not need to capitalize pizza considering it is the object. Here's an example of a sentence where you wouldn't need to capitalize pizza - "Mike and Mary's pizza was cheese." Now here's an example of where you would want to capitalize pizza - "I am headed to Mike and Mary's Pizza to get some food."
