by Lawrence Ferlinghetti (excerpt)
O long-silent Sybil,
you of the winged dreams,
Speak out from your temple of light
as the serious constellations
with Greek names
still stare down on us
as a lighthouse moves its megaphone
over the sea
Speak out and shine upon us
the sea-light of Greece
the diamond light of Greece
Far-seeing Sybil, forever hidden,
Come out of your cave at last
And speak to us in the poet's voice
the voice of the fourth person singular
the voice of the inscrutable future
the voice of the people mixed
with a wild soft laughter—
And give us new dreams to dream,
Give us new myths to live by!

Do you think Sam is right as he describes his dream for the world-"A World Without Collisions"-to Hally? Will the world
ever "get it right?" In at least 200 words, explain what Sam's message means to you and If you believe people can learn
to "dance life like champions." Support your essay using details from the play, current events, and your studies.

Answers

Answer: In this excerpt from A World Without Collisions, Sam describes how he dreams the world to be in the future. I think his main idea has good intentions, he feels sorry for those who get hurt in "learning how to live life". He also seems to think that everybody should take control of their lives and don't be just a victim on everything that happens. This way of thinking has good intentions, but it is not always realistic or even easy to do.

First of all, unexpected things happen in life and some are pretty big and sad, and we do not control everything that happens around us. It is true that we can try and control our emotions in order to feel better, but not what happens outside our bodies. The thing is also, we can chose not to be victims, but it is healthy sometimes to embrace the bad feelings to because only by accepting our sadnesses or pains is that we will be able to move forward. If we deny this bad feeling, our bodies will eventually speak for us and show us that we have been hiding important issues that we should face. I agree, we should "dance life like champions", but doing so is also embracing the bad feelings, connecting with them, and get pass through them. We ARE going to get hurt "in all that bumping" and it is ok.

So the duke said these Arkansaw lunkheads couldn't come up to Shakespeare; what they wanted was low comedy—and maybe something ruther worse than low comedy, he reckoned.

Based on the excerpt, which best describes the duke’s impression of people in this part of Arkansas?

Answers

Answer:

Based on the excerpt, what best describes the duke's impression of people in this part of Arkansas is: he thinks they are not intelligent.

Explanation:

The passage we are analyzing here is from the novel "Huckleberry Finn," which is narrated by the homonym character, a young boy who escapes his abusive father. The author is the famous American author Mark Twain (1835-1910), whose humor and narratives are extremely famous all over the world.

In the passage, we can tell the duke is judging the people of Arkansas as being intellectually inferior. Notice the word choice in "low comedy" and, even worse, "lunkheads". A "lunkhead" is a slow-witted person. The duke thinks those people are not intelligent, which is why their choice of entertainment is "low", inferior.

To choose the correct of (does/does not):I will not deny that the defendant's action might seem heinous. Nevertheless, such a competent jury cannot deny the dire circumstances of the defendant's upbringing! Orphaned at birth, a loveless foster home, little encouragement in either schooling or vocation: Who among us cannot understand the desperation that such circumstances might inspire? I submit that the defendant's crime would never have happened except for such desperate circumstances. You must acquit.
(DOES/DOES NOT) commit a fallacy; specifically, it (DOES/DOES NOT) commit a straw man fallacy.

Answers

Answer:

It does commit a fallacy; specifically, it does not commit a straw man fallacy.

Explanation:

The text presented in the question above presents a fallacy, but not the fallacy known as straw man, but the fallacy known as appeal to penalty.

A fallacy is an incorrect argument, which presents irrelevant and error-filled reasoning, in an attempt to convince the listener to make an incorrect decision in the case. The text presented above, presents the fallacy known as appeal to penalty, where the speaker tries to justify the wrong actions committed by someone, putting that person as a victim and trying to win the listener's sympathy to free that person from the accusations. The speaker of the text above, uses this fallacy when trying to victimize a criminal and claim that the crimes committed were carried out because of the sad life that the criminal went through and for that reason, he should be acquitted.

A wigwam of weather-stained canvas stood at the base of some irregularly ascending hills. A footpath wound its way gently down the sloping land till it reached the broad river bottom; creeping through the long swamp grasses that bent over it on either side, it came out on the edge of the Missouri.
Here, morning, noon, and evening, my mother came to draw water from the muddy stream for our household use. Always, when my mother started for the river, I stopped my play to run along with her. She was only of medium height. Often she was sad and silent, at which times her full arched lips were compressed into hard and bitter lines, and shadows fell under her black eyes. Then I clung to her hand and begged to know what made the tears fall.
"Hush; my little daughter must never talk about my tears;" and smiling through them, she patted my head and said, "Now let me see how fast you can run to-day." Whereupon I tore away at my highest possible speed, with my long black hair blowing in the breeze.
I was a wild little girl of seven. Loosely clad in a slip of brown buckskin, and light-footed with a pair of soft moccasins on my feet, I was as free as the wind that blew my hair, and no less spirited than a bounding deer. These were my mother's pride,—my wild freedom and overflowing spirits. She taught me no fear save that of intruding myself upon others.

The selection above is about a Yankton Sioux family living in South Dakota, in the early 20th century. What does this story teach the reader about the Sioux people?
A.
They believed kids should help draw water.
B.
They believed children should be carefree.
C.
They always lived near hills or mountains.
D.
They liked children to be still and calm.

Answers

The answer is B. They believed children should be carefree.

Recommend TWO intervention programmes the government could put into place to encourage tourists not litter.And also indicate how EACH recommendation will help the illegal dumping situation​

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The two intervention programs that the government could put into place to encourage tourists, not to litter would be the following.

1.- Advertising campaign in the United States airports. As soon as tourists arrive in the United States, there would be TV screens and signs in every airport, informing that littering is strictly prohibited in the United States.

2.- US embassies abroad. A similar campaign should be implemented in the many US embassies around the world. So when people solicit their visas to enter the United States, they could be informed that there is strict legislation in the US regarding littering.

This way tourist will be informed previous their arrival to the country.

These recommendations will help the illegal dumping situation for tourists in that they will be very aware that there will be serious consequences if they are caught littering.

For this he was upbraided in the Senate by Fabius Maximus, and called the corrupter of the Roman soldiery.
