Judson, reaching for his boots, stepped fairly upon the acorn, his foot slid from under him and his head struck the massive table as he fell. Several minutes later he began to regain his senses. Alec’s strong arm was supporting his as he lay on the porch and a kindly voice was saying: “’Twarn’t much of a fall, Mr. Webb. You aren’t cut none; jest knocked out for a minute. Here, take this; it’ll pull you together.” A small glass was pressed to his lips. Dazed and half-conscious, he drank.

How does Alec’s arrival in the cabin affect the events of the story and how does this relate to the theme? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Alec's arrival leads Judson to drink the poisoned whiskey and most probably to his death.

This is related to the theme of the story because Judson tried to get justice in his own hands, leading to him getting the same treatment.

Explanation:

The short story "Ruthless" by William DeMille revolves around the story of Judson Webb and his "trap" of putting poisoned whiskey for whoever broke into his cabin house while he's away. The story has a dramatic ending with that same whiskey being given to Mr. Webb.

Alec is the caretaker of the cabin while the city folks are away. So, after Mr. Webb put the rat poison in the whiskey, he was on his way to return to the city. But he slipped on an acorn, knocking him out for some time. And when he gained consciousness, he saw that he given whiskey, which seemed to be his poisoned whiskey. So, Alec's arrival leads to Judson drinking the poisoned whiskey.

This relates to the main theme of not taking things into one's own hands. Trying to exact justice into one's own hands would lead to serious consequences.

Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf.

That refuge she would have sought certainly. It was the relic of the sense of chastity that dictated anonymity to women even so late as the nineteenth century. Currer Bell, George Eliot, George Sand, all the victims of inner strife as their writings prove, sought ineffectively to veil themselves by using the name of a man. Thus they did homage to the convention, which if not implanted by the other sex was liberally encouraged by them (the chief glory of a woman is not to be talked of, said Pericles, himself a much-talked-of man), that publicity in women is detestable.

What literary elements do the authors use to support and develop the central idea of women's autonomy?

Woolf uses emotionally charged language to emphasize her viewpoint, while Ibsen uses language that is factual and direct.
Ibsen uses dialogue to build conflict between characters, while Woolf alludes to historical figures to make her point.
Both passages follow a cause-effect structure to show that a lack of privacy is the result of society’s pressure on women to conform.
Both passages follow a problem-solution structure in which the problem is revealed in a central conflict or theme.

Look for an example of a simile or metaphor within chapters 7-9 of The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Write the example in the space below, indicating the chapter it is from and what is being compared. What does this simile or metaphor do in the text? In other words, how does it help the reader?

A reader who has not been told that James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a novel can be forgiven for not knowing how to classify it. When it was first published, anonymously, in 1912, the book included a preface from the publisher, written almost exactly as Johnson proposed, that described it as a “new picture of conditions brought about by the race question in the United States” (p. xxxiii). The preface suggests that what follows is a sociological study. But in the novel’s first paragraph, the unnamed narrator tells us that he is “divulging the great secret” of his life, moved by “the same impulse which forces the un-found-out criminal to take somebody into his confidence” (p. 1). This beginning prepares us for a confessional narrative such as those by St. Augustine or Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Exemplifying the capacity of novels to absorb other genres, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a sociological study in terms of its analysis of the dynamics of race, class, and geography, and a confessional narrative, albeit a fictional one. But it is as a novel that Johnson’s book engages us most urgently, in that the story of its narrator’s life is ultimately a plea for the reader’s understanding.

Answer: feelings for Juliet

Explanation:

This soliloquy from Act 2, scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, helps the audience have a better understanding of Romeo's feelings towards his beloved Juliet. After leaving the feast in the Capulet household, Romeo tries to find Juliet, so he climbs a wall into the Capulet´s property and sees Juliet at the window. That´s when he says these words describing how beautiful he thinks she is.

By this time in the play, Romeo doesn´t have feelings for Rosaline anymore. And is not the evening what he finds so beautiful, but Juliet. Who, by the way, is not ill: it´s the moon that is described as being sick.

Answer:

feelings for Juliet.
