What motivates the antagonist to engage in evil behavior?

How would the story or drama change if the antagonist had been able to overcome the darker impulse?
Use specific details from the text to support your claimand include the title, author, and genre of the story in your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Going by the actions of Rainsford, he is the protagonist of the story. ON the other hand, General Zaroff is the antagonist of the story.

What motivates the antagonist to engage in evil behavior?

General Zaroff is the antagonist because his character seems to put Rainsford in a position of conflict, causing him to doubt everything he once believed in.

The key motivation for General Zaroff's antagonistic attitude was that he simply was seeking a challenge that was more interesting that hunting animals.

If Genral Zaroff had been able to overcome his dark impulses, the story would have lost it's suspense, hence the drive to see what happens at the end.

"Of Human Bondage"
By W. Somerset Maugham

Maugham was born in 1874 in Paris, and died in 1965. Maugham attended Heidelberg and then the medical school at St. Thomas, and in 1897 became a qualified doctor. He eventually abandoned medicine after the success of his first novel. Of Human Bondage was published in 1915. During World War l, Maugham worked as a secret agent. He settled in the south of France in 1928.

Philip's uncle had an old friend, called Miss Wilkinson, who lived in Berlin. She was the daughter of a clergyman, and it was with her father, the rector of a village in Lincolnshire, that Mr. Carey had spent his last curacy; on his death, forced to earn her living, she had taken various situations as a governess in France and Germany. She had kept up a correspondence with Mrs. Carey, and two or three times had spent her holidays at Blackstable Vicarage, paying as was usual with the Careys' unfrequent guests a small sum for her keep. When it became clear that it was less trouble to yield to Philip's wishes than to resist them, Mrs. Carey wrote to ask her for advice. Miss Wilkinson recommended Heidelberg as an excellent place to learn German in and the house of Frau Professor Erlin as a comfortable home. Philip might live there for thirty marks a week, and the Professor himself, a teacher at the local high school, would instruct him.

Philip arrived in Heidelberg one morning in May. His things were put on a barrow and he followed the porter out of the station. The sky was bright blue, and the trees in the avenue through which they passed were thick with leaves; there was something in the air fresh to Philip, and mingled with the timidity he felt at entering on a new life, among strangers, was a great exhilaration.

After a few minutes of polite conversation the Frau Professor took Philip to his room and left him. It was in a turret, looking over the tops of the trees in the Anlage; and the bed was in an alcove, so that when you sat at the desk it had not the look of a bedroom at all. Philip unpacked his things and set out all his books. He was his own master at last.

A bell summoned him to dinner at one o'clock and he found the Frau Professor's guests assembled in the drawing room. He was introduced to her husband, a tall man of middle age with a large fair head, turning now to gray, and mild blue eyes. He spoke to Philip in correct, rather archaic English, having learned it from a study of the English classics, not from conversation; and it was odd to hear him use words colloquially which Philip had only met in the plays of Shakespeare. Frau Professor Erlin called her establishment a family and not a pension; but it would have required the subtlety of a metaphysician to find out exactly where the difference lay. When they sat down to dinner in a long dark apartment that led out of the drawing room, Philip, feeling very shy, saw that there were sixteen people. The Frau Professor sat at one end and carved.

Afterwards, when they had sat for a little on the stiff green velvet chairs of the drawing room, Fräulein Anna asked Philip if he would like to go for a walk with them.

Answers

Answer:

The major theme of the novel is that the submission to passion is human bondage, while the exercise of reason is human liberty. Philip Carey loves Mildred passionately and, in trying to possess her, traps himself in her bondage. His freedom is curbed, his education is disrupted, and his fortune is lost.

Hayley has 120 apple trees of a certain variety in her orchard. She estimates the population of apples has a mean of 9 seeds per apple with a standard deviation of 2 seeds. The distribution in the number of seeds per apple has a shape that is approximately normal

Answers

The distribution in the number of seeds per apple has a shape that is approximately normal.

What is central limit theorem?

The central limit theorem (CLT) states that a distribution approximates a normal distribution as the sample size gets larger, regardless of the population's distribution. The required sample size must be equal to or greater than 30.

Hayley has 120 apple trees of a certain variety in her orchard. Hence since the number of samples were 120 which is greater than 30, the distribution in the number of seeds per apple has a shape that is approximately normal

We can actually deduce here that the section of the poem that contains a metaphor is: C) Lights is the ink we use; / hues of red, white, and blue.

What is metaphor?

Metaphor is actually known to be a figure of speech is used in comparison or helps to explain an idea. Metaphor is different from simile in the use of their comparisons.

Simile is a figure of speech which uses "as" or "like" to compare things. Meanwhile, metaphor does not make use of "as" and "like" in its comparison.

We see here that "Lights is the ink we use; / hues of red, white, and blue." is the section that contains metaphor. The lights is actually compared to the ink we use as it is used in the poem.

Answers

Barangay Tanod brigades were organized to assist the government in the maintenance of peace and order in the country. Pursuant to such duty, they conduct rondas or nightly patrols, necessarily exposing their lives and limbs to danger in the hands of criminal elements and other wayward members of society.

The Barangay Tanod holds an essential role in maintaining peace, order, and security within the barangay.

An oxymoron is a self-contradicting word or group of words (as in Shakespeare's line from Romeo and Juliet, "Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!"). A paradox is a statement or argument that seems to be contradictory or to go against common sense, but that is yet perhaps still true—for example, "less is more."

If you think that a blank sheet of paper or a blinking cursor on the computer screen is a scary sight, you are not alone. Many writers, students, and employees find that beginning to write can be intimidating. When faced with a blank page, however, experienced writers remind themselves that writing, like other everyday activities, is a process. Every process, from writing to cooking to bike riding to learning to use a new cell phone will get significantly easier with practice.

Just as you need a recipe, ingredients, and proper tools to cook a delicious meal, you also need a plan, resources, and adequate time to create a good written composition. In other words, writing is a process that requires steps and strategies to accomplish your goals.

These are the five steps in the writing process:

Prewriting

Outlining the structure of ideas

Writing a rough draft

Revising

Editing

Effective writing can be simply described as good ideas that are expressed well and arranged in the proper order. This chapter will give you the chance to work on all these important aspects of writing. Although many more prewriting strategies exist, this chapter covers six: using experience and observations, freewriting, asking questions, brainstorming, mapping, and searching the Internet. Using the strategies in this chapter can help you overcome the fear of the blank page and confidently begin the writing process.
