The Apollo spacesuit began with a garment that used water as a coolant. The garment, similar to long johns but laced with a network of thin walled plastic

B)A life full of adventure is the only life worth living.

C)Those who do not make sacrifices will not be successful.

D)Bravery and courage are necessary attributes to find happiness.

Answers

Answer:

B) A life full of adventure is the only life worth living.

Explanation:

Both the poems are great poems. In both poems, "The Song of the Storm-Spirits"   as well as "The Adventure Itself", the poet wishes to convey the message of fear and adventure to the readers. In "The Song of the Storm-Spirits", the poet speaks about the adventure and fear and how people spend times in darkness hoping for happiness to arrive at our doorstep. The author says if we do not take challenge in our life or do not make effort to achieve happiness, then we will not get happiness. Life is full of adventure and one must explore to live life and be happy. Similarly in the second poem, the poet implies that real adventure in life is in the search for itself.

MY TEACHER WANTS TO CALL MY MOM HURRY!!! One theme in The Hobbit is that ordinary individuals can make extraordinary differences. Explain how this theme is illustrated in the episode in which Bilbo rescues the dwarves from the spiders. What traits help him achieve success? Describe another episode that illustrates this theme. Use evidence from the novel as support. Remember to use three of your module vocabulary words.

Answers

Answer:

TPR: The theme that ordinary characters can make extraordinary differences is illustrated in at least two episodes in The Hobbit because Bilbo repeatedly surprises both himself and the dwarves with his actions.

Introduction/background: About 100 pages into the novel, after wandering forever through a dark forest, Bilbo and the dwarves encounter ferocious spiders who have already dragged off the dwarves and one really ugly spider tries to attack Bilbo too.

Proof: However, Bilbo proves he can do great things. For example, even though he is partially wrapped in webbing, “Bilbo came at it before it could disappear and struck it with his sword right in the eyes” (109). Bilbo continues to defeat the spider and saves the dwarves.

Analysis: This shows how brave a little hobbit can be when he is pushed to his limits.

Introduction/background: Just a little later on in the story, the dwarves are captured by the Elves and Bilbo comes up with a plan for them to escape inside of barrels. As usual, the dwarves don’t believe in the hobbit.

Proof: For example, the dwarves all grumble, “We thought you had got some sensible notion, when you managed to get hold of the keys. This is a mad idea!”(124). However, Bilbo does convince the dwarves to try his plan and sure enough,they manage to escape.

What sets Shakespeare apart from all other famous poets and writers of world literature, and how is this seen as a fulfillment of Ben Johnson’s prophecy?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The difference between Shakespeare and other famous writers of world literature is that Shakespeare did not write about a specific element of a society, time or historical event, but wrote about the human soul and the problems, happiness and hopelessness that make it up, making it anteporal and identifiable at any time, as, as literary critic Harold Blomm says "Shakespeare, invented the human being" managing to trace all its aspects, contradictions and elements.

Shakespeare's ability to portray the human soul is what makes it timeless and this ability is what provides the fulfillment of Ben Johnson's prophecy that states that Shakespeare “was not of an age, but for all time.”

In "I Have a Dream," King refers to the promise of unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence as "this sacred obligation." Later in the speech, he refers to the Declaration of Independence's famous phrase "all men are created equal" as a creed. Which answer choice best explains the effect King achieves by using the words sacred and ​​​​​​​creed? The words convey the importance of liberty and equality to the American nation and all its citizens. The words remind everyone in King's audience that he is a minister and therefore should be treated with respect. . The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion The words suggest that King believes his audience needs to be reminded of the wording of the Declaration of Independence

Answers

Answer:

The answer choice that best explains the effect King achieves by using the words "sacred" and "creed" is:

C. The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion.

Explanation:

In his famous speech "I Have a Dream," Dr. King uses the words "sacred" and "creed" when speaking of unalienable rights and equality. Both words are deeply related to faith and religion. Dr. King, a true master of rhetoric, is intelligently creating a connection that emphasizes the importance of the Declaration's text. By using such words, he is evoking in his audience the same sense of seriousness and respect they would have towards their religion and toward the Scriptures. He is making the Declaration sound as sanctified in its importance as the Bible.

With that in mind, we can safely choose letter C as the correct option: C. The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion.

The option that explains the effect King achieves by using the words sacred and ​​​​​​​creed is C. The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion.

It should be noted that the famous speech by Dr. King was to preach about equality, human rights, and how to make the United States great.

He used the words "sacred" and "creed" to simply illustrate unalienable rights and equality. The words are deeply related to faith and religion. By using the words, appealing to the emotions of the audience. The words emphasize the importance of the Declaration's text by equating it with the founding document of a religion.
