What does the emphasis on the word pretty and Dexter’s reaction to the news of Judy’s situation tell readers about his attachment to her
Dexter emphasizes the use of the word pretty during the final dialogue of Scott Fitzgerald's Winter Dream. This is because it is aggressive the insinuation of his interlocutor that the beauty of Judy is not such, since that beauty was the engine that drove his dreams of youth. The news of Judy's situation impacts him because he realizes that he can not go back in time and that in his current world there is nothing that could interest him or cause him the emotion he felt for Judy at the time.
Answer: Dexter no longer loves Judy but still feels tenderness and pity toward her.
Letter A, in other words.
The questions below refer to the selection "the Iliad, from Book 22, The Death of Hector." Which of the following does NOT describe Achilles? a. Driven by emotion c. Self-centered b. Angered by lack of help from the gods d. Dedicated to his family
The correct answer is option B ("Angered by lack of help from the gods").
Achilles is one of the most infamous figures in Greek mythology. He's depicted the greatest and bravest warrior of Agamemnon's army. When he was born, Thetis submerged Achilles in the waters of River Styx, which made all his body invulnerable with the exception of his heel, which didn't touch the water.
All these attributes make him most definitely a bit self-centered and vain. He's very easily irritable so he can be carried away by emotion. In spite of this, Achilles is known for his loyalty and would do anything to take care of his family. Anger towards the Gods would make no sense, since all the power comes from them and he's actually a half-god himself.

Read the analogy.
wheel: bike :: catalytic converter: car
Based on this analogy, what can you infer about the meaning of catalytic converter?
A. It is part of the car.
B. It is round
C. It causes the car to be made.
D. It's a type of car.
The correct answer is A. It is part of the car
Explanation:
In language, analogies imply comparing to or more elements, usually by understanding the relationship between two or more related elements and transferring that relationship to a similar set of elements to create a comparison. In the case of the analogy presented the pair of words "wheel" and "bike" are related because wheels are essential parts found in bikes this means these two words relate because the first is part of the second; this suggest if there is an analogy between "wheel: bike" and "catalytic converter: car" it is because as wheel is a par to a bike, a catalytic converter is a part of a car. In this way, both sets of words have the same relationship and there is an analogy. Thus it can be inferred catalytic converter is part of the car.

An answer/example might be gay conversion therapy. Back then, asylums used to use electroshock, hypnosis, and sometimes even drugs to try and convert gays into straights. They were biased against the LGBT+ community back then. They used to do that all the time on anyone who seemed remotely part of the community, and there is still reasearch that show that this still might be happening which is horrible.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
Tests that could be considered Biases are IQ tests, because everyone has different backgrounds including, heritage and where they grew up(good environment vs poor environment) and those could determine their score or knowledge. On average 70% of your IQ is inherited so the other 30% comes from your environment, who you were raised, friends you had or basically anything that has greatly affected your life. Studies were conducted that there are some biased IQ tests and that they are always changing, but not that there are and racially biased IQ tests.
A test was conducted with 45 nursing students and 45 psychology students and were compared to determine social stereotypes or weight basis. A significant bias was showed towards overweight individuals in both groups of students, a stronger weight baised was shown then when the target comparison was male and female, the conclusions of the study were that they had expanded the understanding of the implicit attitudes and social biases of nursing and psychology students and that the views made by these future health care professionals may negatively affect the care of their patients.

NEED HELP All in all, “the husband’s message” (is/is not ) an epic because —
The Husband's Message is not an epic because many Anglo-Saxonists contend that the poem is a "love lyric" to be celebrated for "its ingenious form and its emotive power". Conversely, other scholars contest that the sense of "loss," especially that of time due to unfortunate circumstances and "happiness," make The Husband's Message seem more like an elegy. An elegy is a form of poetry that mourns the loss of someone. Anne L. Klinck classifies this poem as optimistic, focusing on love and lamentation, but still places it among the elegies in the Exeter Book. Niles groups The Seafarer, The Wife's Lament, Wulf and Eadwacer and The Husband's Message together as being all the elegies found in the Exeter Book. Niles also states the 50 riddles in the Exeter Book resembles the first person speaker, just like The Husband's Message. This is significant because within all the riddles and this poem, the reader has to discover who the speaker is.

The Beginning of Brown James and Noel sat on the steps of their new house. It was going to be a hot day, but the boys preferred sitting outside to unpacking more boxes inside. Their mom was unpacking kitchen stuff, and the boys had grown tired of hearing her exclaim every time she unwrapped another of the teapots she hadn't seen in months. "You'd think she'd have enough teapots by now," said James. "Yeah," said Noel, "I don't get that excited about my Godzilla collection and that is way more interesting than any teapot." "And I’m sorry," said James, "but I know way too much about teapots for a boy my age." James then started listing all the things he knew about teapots. "There's the spout and the pouring angle," he began. But Noel had already tuned James out. The heat was rising and as tired as he was of his mother's teapots, he was more tired of James' complaining. Besides, there was a raggedy old dog down the street. Noel could tell, even from far away, this was a dog that belonged to no one. Its coat was matted. It had no collar. All he could see of the dog's face was its nose sticking out. Its coat was all brown, but a dirty, grayish brown, not the deep dark warm brown that made you feel safe. "And there's that teapot with the flowers. The brown one with the little dots all in a row," James continued on his rant, now listing all the teapots he had unwrapped for Mom. Noel continued ignoring James and watched the dog. It was moving slowly in their general direction. It stopped at various spots along the curb to smell things. Sometimes the smelling took a very long time. Every now and then it would sit down to scratch behind its ear. Noel wondered if it was looking for something to eat. James jabbered on and Noel began to wonder how a dog came to be in such a sad condition as this one. Did no one ever want it? Even as a puppy, was this fellow not cute enough to find a good family? Had it always been this ugly? Hadn't anyone ever been kind to it? The dog was across the street now, one house over. It seemed to be particularly attracted to mailboxes and the plants around them. To Noel's mind, it appeared that the dog was greeting each family on the street. Noel watched the dog cross the street heading in their direction. He hadn't noticed it before, but the dog's head seemed rather large. It swung back and forth in front of its body, much like the bears Noel had seen at the zoo and on television. Noel could not see any eyes through all the matted hair. He could see gnats and flies hovering over the poor thing, waiting for it to sit down again. It lumbered toward them. Noel noticed that James had stopped talking. He looked over at his brother. Staring at the dog, James seemed to be a bit shocked or surprised, maybe even stunned. "What is that?" James whispered. Instead of sniffing their mailbox and moving on like before, the dog started up the sidewalk toward the steps where they were sitting. Noel could hear the flies buzzing and see not just a few gnats, but a whole swarm around the dog. Bits of leaves and twigs hung in its hair. The dog continued toward them. Was it going to stop, wondered Noel. Should I get up and get in the house? But then, just when Noel felt a twinge of panic, the dog sat down, wagged its tail, and smiled. Noel had never seen anything like it before. It was as if the dog, flies and all, were posing for a photographer. It is going to be an interesting summer, thought Noel. Part A: Which of the following best states a key theme of the excerpt "The Beginning of Brown"? Fill in blank 1 using A, B, or C. Appearances can be deceiving. Friendship overcomes obstacles. Hard work pays off.
The excerpt from the short story "The beginning of Brown" shows how an empathetic boy realizes that C. Appearances can be deceiving. When looked from afar the negative and even scary characteristics of the dog were the most noteworthy. However, when the dog innocently approached the boys, Noel was able to notice its smile, friendly eyes, and sweet candor. All these were not noticeable at the distance because its appearance of a dirty, raggedy dog deceived the observer. Only when it sat down close to Noel and wagged its tail is demonstration of friendship, he saw through the appearances and acknowledged that even a photographer would appreciate the beauty in the authentic love a dog is able to reciprocate.
Writing that paints word pictures for the reader is ______.
A. simile
B. exposition
C. argumentative
D. description
it is description because your telling them what it looks like ha descrbing it
Answer: The right answer is the D) Description.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the word description comes from the Latin verb describĕre, which can be translated as to represent or detail the aspect of a person, a thing, a place, an experience, an event and even an emotion by means of words - either written or spoken. If a writer is describing something or someone so vividly and movingly that one can visualize that person or that object in his or her mind, then that writer is using description as a literary device. Similes are often used in description essays ("he was shaking like a leaf when he saw her passing by," for instance), but a simile is not a type of writing in itself. Expository and argumentative essays expound an idea and argue about it, and they are objective and well-reasoned, and, unlike descriptive essays, they do not allow for artistic licenses.

summary of anything goes now in campaign financing
The idea of not having rules of behavior, no restrictions and/or no recognition of authority, is anarchy, it's a stage owned by societies without leadership or fundamental cohesion. Logically then, an entity without cohesion falls apart by default.
Without parameters on the addition of funds to promote political parties or candidates whatsoever, the resulting development is basically corruption, disarray and chaos; which is a glimpse of the tragic current scenario in American politics.
Campaign financing in the U.S. has been significantly impacted by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act and Supreme Court decisions, particularly Citizens United v. FEC, which allow for unlimited independent expenditures by corporations and unions. This has led to an increase in political organizations and Super PACs influencing elections, raising concerns about transparency and democratic integrity.
Explanation:Summary of "Anything Goes" in Campaign FinancingThe landscape of campaign financing has undergone significant transformations, particularly after the enactment and subsequent court challenges of campaign finance laws. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill, aimed to regulate the influence of money in politics by banning soft-money contributions and limiting advocacy ads before elections. However, Supreme Court rulings, most notably Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, have greatly weakened these provisions, allowing unlimited independent expenditures by corporations and unions.
These changes have led to the proliferation of political organizations and Super PACs, which can receive unlimited donations and are not strictly subject to Federal Election Commission rules. Such organizations play a significant role in shaping electoral outcomes by funding advertisements that align with their political agendas without explicitly endorsing candidates. This development has raised concerns about the transparency and integrity of campaign financing, as large sums of money can now influence elections more freely, posing challenges to democratic processes.
The regulatory environment of campaign financing is a complex interplay of legislation, court decisions, and political strategies, demonstrating how money, like electricity, seeks the path of least resistance in politics. Despite reforms and regulations, the influence of big money remains a contentious and dominant force in American elections, underlining the need for ongoing scrutiny and potentially new legislative approaches to ensure the fairness and accountability of the campaign finance system.

Aristotle has written extensively about TRAGEDY. Based on the Aristotle notion of tragedy, write a comparative analysis of the tragedy in Sophocles Oedipus the King.
According to the ideas of Aristotle represented in his work Poetics, tragedy is always a rather serious literary work which is characterized by dignity and includes the main “great” character who faces a reverse of fortune. Moreover, he considers that a reverse of fortune can be represented in different ways: from bad to good, and from good to bad. The last one is more tragic as it develops fear and pity in spectators. Besides, tragedy as a form of art always results in catharsis, an emotional cleansing of the spectators as response to the sufferings of the main character of the tragedy. Aristotle wrote in Poetics, “Tragedy, then, is an imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a certain magnitude; . . . through pity and fear effecting the proper purgation of these emotions” (Aristotle 21). According to the ideas of Aristotle, the structure of the tragedy should be complex and should represent a number of incidents “arousing fear and pity – for that is peculiar for that form of art” (Aristotle 43). As a rule, a reverse of fortune is the result of some action that is inevitable for the main character. The tragic hero is always a character of noble stature. It means that he should hold the high status position in the society, but he is not perfect. The main character’s downfall may be due to his own fault or the result of some free choice, but not of accident. However, his downfall is not pure loss for the tragic character, as the main character has a chance to develop awareness. So, the main five elements or criteria of the tragedy according to Aristotle include the existence of the tragic hero or main character of noble birth, the tragic flaw, the main character’s downfall, the moment of remorse or awareness, and the catharsis (Jones 12).
Final answer:
Aristotle's notion of tragedy exemplified in Sophocles' 'Oedipus the King' integrates several of his key elements such as noble characters, a well-structured plot, and the downfall of the hero due to a tragic flaw. Oedipus himself is a classic example of an Aristotelian tragic hero, whose quest for truth and justice against all warnings leads to his tragic end. This highlights how the protagonist's downfall results from his own choices, fulfilling the Aristotelian tragedy's purpose of catharsis in the audience.
Explanation:
Tragedy, as defined by Aristotle, is a dramatic imitation of an action that is serious, complete, and of a significant magnitude which, through pity and fear, achieves the purgation of these emotions. When assessing Sophocles' Oedipus the King through the Aristotelian lens, one observes that it embodies many of Aristotle's principles of a perfect tragedy.
Oedipus the King follows the tragic structure outlined by Aristotle, which includes the six elements of tragedy: Plot, Character, Diction, Thought, Spectacle, and Song. The play's protagonist, Oedipus, who is of noble birth and possesses ethical character, fits Aristotle's criterion of a tragic hero, as he is faced with grave responsibilities and choices with consequences that resonate beyond personal gain, affecting the greater community.
The concept of hamartia, or tragic flaw, plays a pivotal role in Oedipus' downfall, revealing the crucial Aristotelian element that a protagonist's misfortune is not solely due to bad luck or evil, but rather, it is connected to a flaw in his character. In Oedipus's case, his determination and persistence to uncover the truth about King Laius's murder, despite numerous warnings, ultimately leads to his disgrace and the fulfillment of the tragic prophecy.

what did the greeks think for a ideal hero
According to Hesiod - the poet who, along with Homer, created the first guides to ancient Greek religion and customs - there were 5 ages of mankind. In the 4th of these ages, Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, created a race of men especially powerful and noble. They were mortals, but they were "god-like".
This Heroic Age, which spanned approximately 6 generations according to ancient genealogy, was the time of legendary figures like Perseus, Heracles, Jason, Achilles, and Odysseus. All of the greatest heroes of ancient Greece lived during this 4th Age. It was a time of great adventure but also turmoil and bloodshed. Most of its heroes died in battle. The Greeks who recounted these legends centuries later believed they were living in a far less glorious 5th Age of mankind.
Was any of this heroic history based in reality? Historians of modern times were very skeptical until the shocking findings of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in the 19th century. In his quest to show that the events of Homer's epic poems were rooted in historical events, Schliemann unearthed a goldmine of Bronze Age artifacts and structures at multiple sites (including what is now widely believed to be the site of Homer's Troy).
The excavations carried out by Schliemann and later archaeologists have revealed that this Late Bronze Age civilization, which we call Mycenaean, was the first advanced civilization in Greece (and one of the most advanced in all of Bronze Age Europe). The Mycenaeans built lavish palaces, as well as bridges, roads, and aqueducts. They also provide us with the first evidence of written language in Greece (called Linear B). Many of the religious figures and customs referenced in Homer can be traced back to the Mycenaean period.
But Mycenaean civilization essentially vanished from the historical record around 1100 BCE. Many of their palaces and city centers were either destroyed or abandoned, leaving no clear accounts of what happened. Modern archaeologists are torn on the subject; some believe outsiders invaded their cities, while others claim internal conflict caused the civilization's demise. Regardless, the grand culture of the Mycenaeans was no more.
The 300 years or so that followed the collapse of Mycenaean civilization is known as the "Greek Dark Age". Those who remained had a new lifestyle, characterized by a general decline in sophistication. They no longer used a writing system, nor lived in large settlements with elaborate infrastructure.
But even though the splendor of Mycenaean times may have been beyond their reach, it was not forgotten. Memories of those more prosperous times, along with remnants of Mycenaean religious beliefs and customs, continued to be passed from one generation to the next.
Around the 8th century BCE, Greek civilization reemerged. They began using a new alphabet adapted from the Phoenicians. Society and life became centralized once again, but this time around the polis, rather than the palace citadels of the Mycenaeans. The first Olympics took place in 776 BCE and the works of Homer and Hesiod were composed. Greece was well on its way to another golden age.
When one understands this historical progression, the role of the ancient Greek heroes becomes clearer. Greeks of the Dark Age could not help but idealize their past, which truly was exceptional in many ways. The impressive ruins and relics of the Mycenaeans were all around them, which only reinforced the power of these legends. Homer, Hesiod, and other epic poets ultimately consolidated the stories which had been passed down and made them their own.
How many pages are in the book Call of the Wild? PLZ THX :D
There are 232 pages in the first edition.
Final answer:
The number of pages in 'The Call of the Wild' varies by edition. The specific page count can be determined by referencing the ISBN of the edition in question. Generally, editions range between 100 to 200 pages.
Explanation:
The number of pages in Jack London's book The Call of the Wild can vary depending on the edition. While the original publication in 1903 would have a set number of pages, different editions such as hardcover, paperback, or digital versions may contain varying amounts of pages due to differences in formatting, font size, and additional content such as introductions or notes.
To find the exact number of pages, you would need the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) of the specific edition you are referring to. Each edition, whether it's a hardcover book, paperback book, or digital version, will have a unique ISBN that corresponds to that version's publication details, including page count.
Unfortunately, without a specific ISBN, it's not possible to give an exact page count for The Call of the Wild. However, most editions of this novella typically range between 100 to 200 pages.
