How does Twain's use of charged language such as "exceedingly self-satisfied monarch" best advance his viewpoint? It shows the r

eader that American railway workers are smug and feel superior to the passengers. It provides the readers with an idea of Twain's admiration for the French railroad conductor. It illustrates Twain's feelings about traveling by rail through the French countryside. It reveals Twain's belief that American railroad workers are inferior to those of France.
Read the passage.

excerpt from "France" in The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain

In France, all is clockwork, all is order. They make no mistakes. Every third man wears a uniform, and whether he be a marshal of the empire or a brakeman, he is ready and perfectly willing to answer all your questions with tireless politeness, ready to tell you which car to take, yea, and ready to go and put you into it to make sure that you shall not go astray. You cannot pass into the waiting room of the depot till you have secured your ticket, and you cannot pass from its only exit till the train is at its threshold to receive you. Once on board, the train will not start till your ticket has been examined—till every passenger’s ticket has been inspected. This is chiefly for your own good. If by any possibility you have managed to take the wrong train, you will be handed over to a polite official who will take you whither you belong and bestow you with many an affable bow. Your ticket will be inspected every now and then along the route, and when it is time to change cars you will know it. You are in the hands of officials who zealously study your welfare and your interest, instead of turning their talents to the invention of new methods of discommoding and snubbing you, as is very often the main employment of that exceedingly self-satisfied monarch, the railroad conductor of America.

You have read two articles about Maya Society. Wrtie an essay in which you identify a common central idea of both articles and a
KiRa [710]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the two articles, or further links, or references.  Without those articles, we do not know what you are talking about.

However, trying to help you, what we can do is to answer in the following general terms about the Maya society.

A common central idea of the articles that have been written about the Maya civilization is that they were great astronomers who liked to observe the stars and possessed a total understanding of the concept of time.

That is why the Mayas built observatories like the one in Chichen Itza, Yucatán, México. This precious building is in good condition and can be visited by tourists.

That is why the Maya society understood the use of time with three important calendars they developed.

The Tzolkin was the divine calendar and consisted of 26 days with 20 months of 13 days.

The Haab was a solar calendar that included 365 days. These days were divided into 18 months of 20 days, and the Uayebm the month with just five days.

The Long Count Calendar was the universal cycle for the Maya civilization and was used to track longer periods.

Why does the lady of shallot leave her tower
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The lady leaves her room in the castle and invokes the curse upon her because of the appearance of Sir Lancelot. The sound of his voice and the colors on his armor excited the senses of the lady, and ''down she came and found a boat.'' This was the lady's opportunity to live and see the world as it always was, rather than the shadows that crossed her mirror. The appearance of Sir Lancelot created enough courage for the lady to disregard the curse, look upon Camelot, and leave the castle.

aleksley [76]
The Federal Reserve is not a credit reporting agency. It is the main banking system in America, created in the 1910s. Credit reporting agencies work with banks such as the Federal Reserve to help the bank - or another type of business - decide whether a person they lend money to will be able to pay it back.
