Is Bartleby – as a character – some kind of folk hero, some silent saint who refuses to be a part of capitalism (the story takes

place on Wall Street – a location synonymous with capitalism and finance), or is he just some guy who "would prefer not to" do anything? Give an example from the text for support.

Answer:

Let's remember that Bartleby was a homeless man. He lived in the narrator's office. He never left, and 'preferred not to' do anything. I think that the moral of this story is never to judge someone by their behaviour. The narrator didn't know what kind of man Bartleby was until he saw that Bartleby never left. He's mysterious. He's just some guy who doesn't know how to do the scrivening job, but stays employed to the narrator because he has been provided with a room and food.

Explanation:

 “Will you tell me, Bartleby, where you were born?”  

 “I would prefer not to.”  

 “Will you tell me any thing about yourself?”  

 “I would prefer not to.”

Which statement best explains why the animals readily accept the increased workload?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

They believe that all of their work benefits the community of animals and ultimately is for the best.

Explanation:

George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is an allegorical play showing how a group of farm animals rebelled against their human master to form their own government. The play deals with themes of greed, a struggle for power, hierarchy, corruption, equality, etc.

In Chapter V, Napoleon declared his intention to build the windmill which meant everyone must put in extra work. This meant that they will have to do their usual work added to the workload of constructing the windmill. But the animals accepted that without any complaint. Chapter VI starts with the statement<em> "All that year the animals worked like slaves. But they were happy in their work; they grudged no effort or sacrifice, well aware that everything that they did was for the benefit of themselves and those of their kind who would come after them, and not for a pack of idle, thieving human beings."</em>

This shows that the animals readily accepted the increased workload because they believed that it is for the benefit of the whole community and their future generations.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

What are pages of violence in the outsiders
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

I'm not sure about the page numbers, specifically, but I can give you a few examples of violence in the book to give you an idea of where in the book to look :)

Explanation:

When Ponyboy is jumped by the Soc's in the very beginning of the book, (just a few pages in), the several rumbles initiated by the gang, when Johnny and Ponyboy are getting beat up in the park, when Johnny kills the Soc, the rumble the gang goes to for Johnny after he dies in the hospital, when Dally is shot by the cops, and that's all I remember, though I'm sure there is more :)

I hope this helped though!!

Which type of decision maker tends to choose the first available option in haste?
faltersainse [42]

The gut instinct follower is arguably the simplest decision maker and tends to choose the first option in haste.

When confronted with two possibilities and a handful of information on each, the instinct follower will generally form an immediate impression, and side with wherever that impression lands.

And mostly that is the correct decision but sometimes you just make the decision too quickly and waste it by choosing the very first option on the list.
