As if merely ___________ according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

As if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…

Explanation:

The word "subsist" is a gerund that means sustenance, dependent, survival on one's own. In other words, it means the ability or capacity to support and survive by oneself on a minimal level.

The given line "as if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough..." is from Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild." The lines go like this-

As if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough, Rosellini also exercised compulsively whenever he wasn't occupied with foraging. He filled his days with calisthenics, weight lifting, and running, often with a load of rocks on his back. During one apparently typical summer, he reported covering an average of eighteen miles daily.

Thus, the correct word for the blank in the line is "subsisting".

Within the books; Fahrenheit 451 and Beowulf, what morals/themes can a person reading both books learn?

Answers

Answer:

By reading both books, the reader can learn that ignorance leads to cowardice and it is better to die young than to become a coward without knowledge.

Explanation:

"Fahrenheit 451" tells the story of a society where books are burned and forbidden to be read. This is done as a way of preventing society from having access to information and becoming unknowing and ignorant. This lack of knowledge makes people cowardly, weak, fearful and inefficient, which is very harmful to the human being as a whole.

"Beowulf," in turn, tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who, being a strong and courageous man, risks his own life to face the threats that may arise.

By reading the two books, we can draw very valuable moral lessons, we can see that cowardice limits us, but courage strengthens us. Therefore, we can understand that it is better not to exist, than to live a life of cowardice that the lack of information causes.

Answers

Answer:

What a wretched life a poor woman leads in our country- said Sahana. She cannot work independently without taking the help of others. She depends on the pity of the people of society.

Explanation:

We have to use capital letters at the beginning of a sentence and with proper nouns, like Sasha. Also, we have to use periods to make sentences shorter and with meaning. This helps us to connect ideas in a clear way. We use the dash (-) to add information, in this case, to clarify who said something.

Cell Phone Sides

“What do you want
for your birthday, Sarah?
It’s not every day you turn eleven.”

“My own cell phone…?
Now Dad, no grumpy face.
Everyone has a phone. No big deal.”

“Not you. Not yet.”
Peer pressure, bullies,
he thinks. “It will interfere with homework.”

“Don’t you trust me?
I know how to study,
and it will help me be responsible.”

“You might lose it.
What about the expense?
What about your hearing, your neck, your eyes?”

“Please, Daddy, please,”
she begs, wrapping herself
and all her hopes and dreams around his neck.

“I don’t think so,”
he grumbles to the blur
stomping out—his pain, his heart, his baby.

She tries again.
“Kids need their freedom, friends.
What about calling in emergencies?”

“And touching base,
Sarah. But the minutes
talking, texting, tuning out—priceless waste?”

“I’ll pay, promise!
Give up my allowance,
Do extra chores, walk the plank. Please, Dad, please?”

“We’ll see...”

Read the excerpt from The Crisis, Number I by Thomas Paine.

“Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to 'bind me in all cases whatsoever' to his absolute will, am I to suffer it? What signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.”

Which is the clearest and most objective summary of the excerpt?
Paine declares that it will take all the money in the world to convince him to support this war. He asks what difference it makes who his opponent is or what crime he commits. In either case, Paine asserts that he must be punished.
Paine says that war is terrible, and ordinarily nothing could have convinced him to support it. However, he also believes that if a person or group commits severe crimes against him, that party should be punished, no matter who they are.
Paine's claim that no amount of money could induce him to wage war is self-serving, but he argues rightly that anyone who threatens his safety or the safety of his family should be punished.
All the treasures of the world could not have induced me to support an offensive war, for it is murder; but if a thief threatens to kill me or my family should I suffer it? Does it matter if it is a king, a common man, my countryman or not? Should I punish one and pardon the other?

Explanation:

The  best definition of a primary source is a firsthand account of an event or time period.

What is primary source?

A primary source (also called an original source) is an artifact, document, diary, manuscript, autobiography, recording, or any other source of information that was created at the time under study. It serves as an original source of information about the topic. Similar definitions can be used in library science and other areas of scholarship, although different fields have somewhat different definitions.

In journalism, a primary source can be a person with direct knowledge of a situation, or a document written by such a person.

Primary sources are distinguished from secondary sources, which cite, comment on, or build upon primary sources. Generally, accounts written after the fact with the benefit of hindsight are secondary.A secondary source may also be a primary source depending on how it is used.

"he stood like a rock as they hurled insults at him," Is an example of which poetic device?

Answers

Answer:

I believe the sentence is an example of simile.

Explanation:

A simile is a literary device which compares two different things. The purpose is to attribute the qualities of one to the other. In that sense, simile and metaphor are the same thing. What distinguishes them is that a simile will use the words "as" or "like" to establish the comparison, while the metaphor will not. For example, "your eyes are like stars" is a simile. On the other hand, "your eyes are stars" is a metaphor.

Thus, we can easily find the simile in the sentence we are analyzing here when the author says "he stood like a rock." He is comparing a person to a rock, probably with the purpose of saying that person stood there, unmoving - the same way a rock does not move.

Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. At the same moment that Anderson's hose stopped, another steamer malfunctioned and its water also gave out. A well-aimed rap of a hammer got the engine working again, but then, at about 10:30, an old section of hose burst and the flow of water stopped again. Two valuable links in the chain of defense were gone, and there was nothing to stop the fire in these locations. Williams rushed to get the water going and to reposition his engines, but it was too late. The wind had pushed the fire past his circle, a wind that was blowing directly toward the heart of the city. How does the structure of this excerpt contribute to the central idea that the firefighters did not have the proper equipment to fight the fire

Answers

Answer:

The structure of the text allows the reader to perceive a range of equipment that is not working properly and therefore prevent the good work of the firefighters.

Explanation:

Textual structure refers to the way the text is organized and how the information is presented to the reader. There are many types of textual structure, among which, we can mention the sequential structure, which is the one that presents a sequence of elements that have been part of a narrative. In the case of the text above, we can see that the author decided to use this type of structure, since we can read a sequence of equipment, used by firefighters, which are malfunctioning. In addition, we can see that this malfunction promotes a series of negative events that prohibit firefighters from doing a good job. These effects are also presented sequentially.
