Which historical world event connects most closely with the themes of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies?
McCarthyism
the Holocaust
the assassination of Julius Caesar
the American Revolution
Answer:
The Holocaust
Explanation:
The test on K12 said it was correct.
The historical world event that connects most closely with the themes of William Golding's Lord of The Flies is the American revolution.
What is the them of "Lord of flies" ?The conflict between two opposing impulses that all humans have pits the instinct to live by rules, act peacefully, obey moral commands, and value the good of the group against the instinct to sate one's immediate desires, act violently to obtain dominance over others, and enforce one's will. This conflict is the main theme of Lord of the Flies.
There are several ways to describe this conflict: law vs anarchy, reason versus instinct, order versus chaos, civilization versus barbarism, or the more general category of good versus evil.
Golding demonstrates how various people experience the effects of barbarism and civilization to varying degrees. Therefore, the American revolution is more close to the theme of the novel.

In Wiesel's opinion, why is "indifference more dangerous than anger and hatred"?
Answer:
Indifference is markedly more dangerous than other negative feelings, such as hatred or anger, because in the latter, despite wishing evil or having negative feelings about something or someone, there is an interest on the part of the person regarding that thing or person. On the other hand, in indifference, the disinterest is total, which can lead to a lack of attention to the thing that can cause harm, both in the person who is indifferent and in third parties.
HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBALE PLEASE Read the excerpt from “The Lottery.”
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother.
Explain what is learned by the actions of the characters in the excerpt.
A. The lottery was a happy occasion because the men told jokes, the children laughed, and the women were able to exchange gossip.

Explanation:
he biblical story of Saint Paul the Apostle is about the transformation of a man from a persecutor of Christians to one who helped spread the message of Christianity. The story of Saint Paul, previously known as Saul, has many parallels with Scrooge’s story in A Christmas Carol. Read an excerpt from the Acts of the Apostles. Then describe what the story of Saint Paul and his conversion to Christianity has in common with Scrooge’s story in A Christmas Carol.
In A Christmas Carol, the spirits make Scrooge understand the consequences of his actions. They show him that the life he is living isn’t the true path to happiness. This experience is similar to the way that God made Saul see the error of his ways. Later, Scrooge makes the most of his revelation by changing his ways completely. However, in much the same way as early Christians doubted Saul’s conversion to the Christian Paul, the people of London at first doubted the change in Scrooge. But after seeing the genuineness of both men’s actions, people accepted them as they went on to set a legacy through their good works.
---------------------------
PLATO ANSWER <3
Both stories emphasize the value of redemption and the potential for change, regardless of a person's past deeds or beliefs. In the example of Saint Paul, his conversion to Christianity represented a profound break from his former existence as a persecutor of Christians, and required that he change his entire worldview. Similarly, Scrooge's transformation demands that he abandon his old habits and adopt a new, empathetic outlook.
What is Christianity?The life and teachings of Jesus Christ serve as the foundation for the monotheistic religion known as Christianity. With over 2 billion followers worldwide, it is the world's largest religion.
Christians share the belief that there is only one God, the creator of the universe, who made himself known through his son, Jesus Christ. Christian doctrine and practice are based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, who is revered as the savior of the world.
Therefore, both stories emphasize the value of redemption and the potential for change, regardless of a person's past deeds or beliefs.

Answer:
It began on a pointy July afternoon:
I was the most smart doctor around,
She was the most talented princess.
She was my friend,
My talented friend,
My princess.
We used to nuzzle so well together,
Back then.
We wanted to natter together, around the world,
We wanted it all.
But one afternoon, one pointy afternoon,
We decided to natter too much.
Together we evicted a chip munk.
It was sharp, so sharp.
From that moment our relationship changed.
And then it happened:
Oh no! Oh no!
The next day I thought my brain had broken,
I thought my neck had burst into flames,
(But I was actually overreacting a little.)
But still, she is in my thoughts.
I think about how it all changed that afternoon,
That pointy July afternoon.
My neck... ouch!
When I think of that talented princess,
That talented princess and me.

They should analyse subjects with their minds so that they may better understand them and they should invest with their hearts in the learning which means that they should be dedicated and devoting to learning.
Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”
Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.
Which phrase from the excerpt best helps the reader identify the author’s purpose?
“I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings”
