xcerpt from Flatland
Edwin A. Abbott

1) I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so, but to make its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged to live in Space.

2) Imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight Lines, Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Hexagons, and other figures, instead of remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it, very much like shadows — only hard and with luminous edges — and you will then have a pretty correct notion of my country and countrymen. Alas, a few years ago, I should have said “my universe”: but now my mind has been opened to higher views of things.

America is the closest thing we have at the moment to freedom. America is a country of immigrants and was in fact founded by British folk which left from England because of their Religious beliefs. Being American means embracing the country, its culture, and core values. It means respecting other peoples freedom and rights no matter who you are the President or a Police Officer.

How does this paragraph develop Orwell's point of view about totalitarian governments?

Answers

This paragraph shows that totalitarian governors are persuasive and encourage people to maintain their concepts, even without agreeing with them.

Who was George Orwell?He was an English writer.He is best known for "1984" and "Animal Farm."He was a great critic of fascist and totalitarian governments.

Orwell saw totalitarian governments as something very dangerous. These governments were very violent and suppressed people's freedoms and rights. However, these governments were very persuasive and encouraged people to act the way they wanted, even people who didn't support them.

Orwell believed that human beings were very corruptible and that's why he encouraged people to fight against totalitarian governments without equaling them and without giving in to the persuasion they had.

Do the film version and the original text contain the same characters? Does the film version you watched make any major changes to characters? Do the characters look as you imagined they would when you read the story? Pick one character and write a detailed paragraph discussing that person’s similarities and differences in the film version and the original story.

Answers

Answer:

Hide Sample Answer

Both the film version and the text use the same setting. It takes place in London, and opens at Covent Garden in act 1. The setting then shifts to Higgins’s house in act 2. The film has the same settings, except for a brief scene that takes place at Eliza’s home. The setting in the film also looks similar to how I imagined it would while reading the play. The busy London marketplace and Higgins’s house with all of its fancy phonetics equipment matched my idea of the play’s setting.

Explanation:

i remember doing this

Answer:

Hide Sample Answer

The film version and the original text contain the same characters. However, the film has a few more characters. In the film, Mrs. Staunton is the housekeeper at the Roylotts’ ancestral home in Stoke Moran. But she’s not in the original story. Two more characters who appear in the movie but not in the book are Rodgers, the Roylotts’ butler, and Ali, a servant that Roylott has brought from India.

Some of the characters that appear in both the film and the original text also differ. Helen and Julia are twins in the original text, but they’re born five years apart in the film version. And Julia’s name has been changed to Violet in the film.

The characters didn’t look at all like I had imagined them when I read the story. For example, I envisioned Sherlock Holmes as a tall, lanky guy. In the film, he was quite hefty. I did not imagine Watson would be bald, which he was in the movie. I also imagined Helen to look different. At the beginning of the original story, Watson informs us that her hair was gray, probably due to stress and worry over her dangerous situation. In the film, however, Helen does not have gray hair.

Grimesby Roylott is the antagonist in the short story and in the film version as well. He murders Violet, one of his stepdaughters who was engaged to be married. He kills her so that he can keep her portion of the family inheritance. He has decided to murder Helen, his other stepdaughter, after he hears of her marriage plan. In the film, Roylott has an Indian servant named Ali who assists him in the murders. Ali does not appear in the original story. In the film, we see Roylott spying on Helen and following her as she visits Holmes and Watson in their apartment. These details about Roylott do not appear in the original text either.
