Theme and plot from chapter 9-12for lord of the flies
Answer:
Simon awakens and finds the air dark and humid with an approaching storm. His nose is bleeding, and he staggers toward the mountain in a daze. He crawls up the hill and, in the failing light, sees the dead pilot with his flapping parachute. Watching the parachute rise and fall with the wind, Simon realizes that the boys have mistaken this harmless object for the deadly beast that has plunged their entire group into chaos. When Simon sees the corpse of the parachutist, he begins to vomit. When he is finished, he untangles the parachute lines, freeing the parachute from the rocks. Anxious to prove to the group that the beast is not real after all, Simon stumbles toward the distant light of the fire at Jack’s feast to tell the other boys what he has seen.
Piggy and Ralph go to the feast with the hopes that they will be able to keep some control over events. At the feast, the boys are laughing and eating the roasted pig. Jack sits like a king on a throne, his face painted like a savage, languidly issuing commands, and waited on by boys acting as his servants. After the large meal, Jack extends an invitation to all of Ralph’s followers to join his tribe. Most of them accept, despite Ralph’s attempts to dissuade them. As it starts to rain, Ralph asks Jack how he plans to weather the storm considering he has not built any shelters. In response, Jack orders his tribe to do its wild hunting dance.
Chanting and dancing in several separate circles along the beach, the boys are caught up in a kind of frenzy. Even Ralph and Piggy, swept away by the excitement, dance on the fringes of the group. The boys again reenact the hunting of the pig and reach a high pitch of frenzied energy as they chant and dance. Suddenly, the boys see a shadowy figure creep out of the forest—it is Simon. In their wild state, however, the boys do not recognize him. Shouting that he is the beast, the boys descend upon Simon and start to tear him apart with their bare hands and teeth. Simon tries desperately to explain what has happened and to remind them of who he is, but he trips and plunges over the rocks onto the beach. The boys fall on him violently and kill him.
The storm explodes over the island. In the whipping rain, the boys run for shelter. Howling wind and waves wash Simon’s mangled corpse into the ocean, where it drifts away, surrounded by glowing fish. At the same time, the wind blows the body of the parachutist off the side of the mountain and onto the beach, sending the boys screaming into the darkness.
Analysis
With the brutal, animalistic murder of Simon, the last vestige of civilized order on the island is stripped away, and brutality and chaos take over. By this point, the boys in Jack’s camp are all but inhuman savages, and Ralph’s few remaining allies suffer dwindling spirits and consider joining Jack. Even Ralph and Piggy themselves get swept up in the ritual dance around Jack’s banquet fire. The storm that batters the island after Simon’s death pounds home the catastrophe of the murder and physically embodies the chaos and anarchy that have overtaken the island. Significantly, the storm also washes away the bodies of Simon and the parachutist, eradicating proof that the beast does not exist.
Jack makes the beast into a godlike figure, a kind of totem he uses to rule and manipulate the members of his tribe. He attributes to the beast both immortality and the power to change form, making it an enemy to be feared and an idol to be worshiped. The importance of the figure of the beast in the novel cannot be overstated, for it gives Jack’s tribe a common enemy (the beast), a common system of belief (their conviction that the mythical beast exists), a reason to obey Jack (protection from the beast), and even a developing system of primitive symbolism and iconography (face paint and the Lord of the Flies).

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100
What is the central idea of the sonnet?
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
OThe speaker considers his love to be his muse
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
The speaker wants his muse to help him
immortalize his love.
The speaker fears that his love is growing old faster
than he would like
The speaker thinks that his muse is forgetful and
lazy and wastes a lot of time
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument
Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey
If Time have any wrinkle graven there
1f any be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life.
So thou prevent'st his scy the and crooked knife
Answer:
The speaker wants his muse to help him immortalize his love.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare wrote many of his poems in the form of a sonnet. The type of sonnet he used is now usually referred to as the Shakespearean sonnet. It consists of three quatrains and a couplet. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg, and the meter the lines are written in is iambic pentameter.
In Sonnet 100, the speaker speaks to his muse, asking her to help him immortalize his love. He asks her to rise and return to him and help him. He wants to immortalize his love through poetry - something that will remain even after he passes. We can see this in the following line: Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life.

Part A Directions: Use a check to identify the item in each pair that is
written with sharp and vivid details rather than vague and general ones.
A or B
1. ___A. My boss finds fault with every little thing that I do, including what I wear and how I arrange my desk.
B. Today, my boss told me that I should wear a freshly ironed
shirt when I deal with customers, and she also insisted that I put
papers in a desk tray.
2. A. Many college students wait until the day before it's due to
write a paper and then panic because they can't even think of a topic to
write about
____B. Many college students budget their time poorly and thus
often feel anxious about unfinished tasks, such as papers that are due.
Answer:
1 - B
2 - A
Explanation:
In the first pair, the item that is written in more detail is item B. While item A simply mentions clothing and desk arrangement, item B tells us what the issues with the narrator's clothing and desk arrangement are exactly. They should wear a freshly ironed shirt and put papers in a desk tray. This information is not present in item A.
The situation is similar in the second pair. Item A contains more details than item B. Item B tells us that students have trouble organizing their time and finishing their tasks, such as their papers. Item A tells us where the problem in their time organization is exactly - they wait until the day before to start writing, and then they can't even think of the topic.
QUESTÃO 22 Como deve ser aplicada esta oração no presente continuos ?I DRINK WATHER EVERY DAY A drinks wather every day. B. Iam drink wather every day C. I am drinking wather every day. D. I am not drink wather every day.
Answer:
C. I am drinking wather every day.
Explanation:
The present continuous is a type of verb tense configuration that allows a verb to present an action that is happening at the moment the speaker of the sentence is speaking, or that happened a few seconds ago. Recognizing sentences in the present continuos is very simple, as they follow the order: subject + verb to be + another verb in gerund mode, that is, a verb ending with the syllable "ing".
In this case, in relation to the questions above, the only one that presents the present continuos is the letter C.

Translate this to Modern English:
But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O that she knew she were!
She speaks, yet she says nothing; what of that?
Her eye discourses, I will answer it.
I am too bold: 'tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp. Her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
Answer:
That Juliet is fairer and more brilliant than the moon is meant to be taken as Romeo's sincere belief. When Juliet appears above, on her balcony, she appears like the sun at dawn, her light overpowering the moon's merely reflected brilliance.

Explanation:
Read the excerpt about the Sicurella family from "Island of Hope, Island of Tears." Pietro and Rosa Sicurella lived with their nine children in Adrano, Sicily prior to coming to the United States. Pietro and Rosa's oldest son, Giuseppe, immigrated in 1903 to study art. His brother Salvatore followed in 1908 and their siblings Antonio, Maria Anna, and Angelina joined them in 1913. When Giuseppe died in 1916, the Sicurella siblings living in New York decided not to return to Sicily--the rest of the family joined them after World War I. Giuseppe D'Amico, Concetta Sicurella's husband, immigrated with his wife's family, leaving his own family behind in Sicily.

The diagonals of rhombus ABCD intersect at E. Given that m∠CAD=20° and CE=4, find the m∠CDA.
Given :
The diagonals of rhombus ABCD intersect at E.
∠CAD = 20°.
To Find :
The angle ∠CDA.
Solution :
We know, diagonals of a rhombus bisects each other perpendicularly.
So, ∠DEA = 90°.
In triangle ΔEAD :
∠EAD + ∠AED + ∠EDA = 180°
20° + 90° + ∠EDA = 180°
∠EDA = 70°
Now, we know diagonal of rhombus also bisect the angle between two sides .
So, ∠CDA = 2∠EDA
∠CDA = 2×70°
∠CDA =140°
Therefore, ∠CDA is 140°.
