Stranded
ReadWorks

It had been three days, and we were starting to feel helpless. We had already used most of our resources and knew that if anyone was to come and look for us, it would take them weeks to find us. It was a relief that Andrew was starting to feel better after being dehydrated. We were all happy to have started a fire so that we could now drink clean water. I decided it was time to start searching the island for food and resources. I knew I wasn’t the group leader, but I was going to take charge.

When I told Max that I would head out east toward the beaches, he said I was making a big mistake and that we all needed to stay together. I disagreed with him and told him that we eventually needed to search the island to see what we could use or if anyone else occupied this land that could help us call for rescue.

Jamie and Shannon went with me to search. We walked about three miles and started to hear a sound coming from a distance. We didn’t want to get much closer because we thought it would be better to get others to help us. So, we headed back and told the others. We agreed to return to the spot in the morning. That night, as I slept under the stars, I felt a sense of hope for the first time since being stranded.

KING CLAUDIUS 'Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet, To give these mourning duties to your father: But, you must know, your father lost a father; That father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound In filial obligation for some term To do obsequious sorrow: but to persever In obstinate condolement is a course Of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief; It shows a will most incorrect to heaven, A heart unfortified, a mind impatient, An understanding simple and unschool'd: For what we know must be and is as common As any the most vulgar thing to sense, Why should we in our peevish opposition Take it to heart

Answers

Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it. In that case, I will explain to you what is being said in this text and I hope this helps you.

The text was taken from "Hamlet" a play written by Shakespeare that shows the life of Prince Hamlet, in the search for revenge and for the murder of his father.

The text you presented is spoken by Claudius, Hamlet's uncle. Claudius is saying that Hamlet's mourning for his father's death has lasted too long. Claudius says that Hamlet has to overcome this death soon, since it is natural for parents to die before their children and maintaining a state of sadness for so long is not something masculine, that is, it is not the correct behavior for a man.

Although Hamlet does not yet know, it was Claudius who killed his father and the real reason why Claudius wants Hamlet to forget his father's death is not to be discovered as the real killer.

Can someone please correct me or tell me if I’m correct please the passage is not necessary it’s just in your own thoughts thank you

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is D.

Explanation: The other three options can all be taken as objective, meaning they aren't coming from someone's opinion and are instead statements of record. With option D, the person is telling us they believe something to be of importance. This is clearly an opinion, and not a historical account.

When you read a play, how do you know the characters are interrupting each other?
1. You see very short but complete sentences
2. you see a sentence fragment followed by a dash
3. you see a long sentence with many nouns and verbs
4. you see a list of items separated by a comma
1, 2, 3, or 4? with one?

Answers

I’m pretty sure the answer would be 2 because the others don’t necessarily mean it’s interrupted. Hope this helped :)

Who are some of the people, events, new technology, movies, or music that you are familiar with that are about the Cold War, that stand out to you? Why do they stand out to you?

Answers

Answer: The “space race” and the first man on the moon.

Explanation:

The one thing that always amazed me about the Cold War is how it became a great push on the development of space technology. Today it´s very clear that without the competition established between the United States and the Soviet Union during the years of the Cold War, humanity wouldn´t have developed the space travel technology that led to the first landed human on the moon as early as 1969.

The irony of such violent competition based on profound political confrontation having such a positive outcome is always the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the Cold War.

how does each fable develop the topic of greed? mostly from the story "The dog and his reflection and "The swollen fox"

Answers

Explanation:

In the case of the fable of "The dog and its reflection"; , for not being happy with the bone he had and wishing for another bone that "seemed bigger" but was actually an illusion, the dog was left without a bone, the lesson he leaves us is that we have to be grateful and be happy with what we have.

In the case of "The swollen fox"; we can see that by wanting to eat everything quickly due to the hunger he had, he filled up very quickly and was trapped, this teaches us that we must take things slowly and if we want to be successful in whatever we do, no We must be greedy because the consequences will not be very good for us,

Finally, in the fable of the swollen fox we can also learn a lesson about patience, as the fox was trapped now he had to be patient and wait until his belly deflated to get out; In the same way, if we have difficulties or very hard trials in our lives, we must be patient, because patience helps us calmly endure difficulties and not despair; there will always be a solution for everything!

The summary or paraphrase should be faithful to the original ideas in the text.
