Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave" by Neil MacGregor. In the early nineteenth century Japan had been effectively closed off from the world for 200 years. It had simply opted out of the community of nations. Kings are burning somewhere, Wheels are turning somewhere, Trains are being run, Wars are being won, Things are being done Somewhere out there, not here. Here we paint screens. Yes . . . the arrangement of the screens. This is Stephen Sondheim’s musical tableau of the secluded and calmly self-contained country in 1853, just before American gunships forced its harbours to open to the world. It is a witty caricature of the dreamy and aesthetic Japanese, serenely painting screens while across the seas Europe and America industrialize and political turmoil rages. What is the purpose of the outside source used in this excerpt?
Answer:
- to illustrate Japan's isolation in the 1800s.
Explanation:
In the given excerpt, the author employs an outside source with an aim to demonstrate the segregation that Japan undergoes in the 19th century. The descriptions like 'closed off from the world,' 'opted out of the community of nations' gives a hint to the readers about Japan's isolation from the world while Stephen's tableau displaying 'self-sufficient and deserted nation' further substantiates the country's hidden and quiet existence. Thus, the outer source gives a clear view of Japan's remote situation during the early and mid-nineteenth century.

Directions: True or false? Support an evidence to each statement below from the article.
1. Baby girls are greeted with joy in developing countries.
2. Having a baby girl means more wealth to a family.
3. In developing countries, the way society acts towards girls influence their behavior.
4. Girls in these cannot fully develop. 5. Countries that discriminate against women are economically more successful.
Hello. You did not enter the text in the article to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
1. Developing countries tend to have more social backward and traditional ideas, which impose very defined social standards and very strict gender roles. Although there are exceptions, the less developed a country is, the greater are the cases of devaluation of women, causing girls not to be welcomed in these countries.
2. This means that families do not see the birth of girls as a sign of wealth, but rather a sign of expense and bad luck, as in many places, women are prevented from working and even studying.
3. This type of positioning strongly influences the behavior of the girls as they grow up, causing them to become highly oppressed, repressed and insecure in relation to themselves and in relation to the world. However, countries that position themselves differently in relation to girls also have different influences on their behavior.
4. The feeling of devaluation prevents girls from fully developing, being unable to take on the responsibilities of their lives independently and completely.
5. In this case, the impact is negative not only on girls, but also on the country, which loses a large number of successful professionals, since it discriminates against women. This prevents countries from being successful and causes them to be frowned upon internationally.

Compare four ways in which gender roles differ between men and women in a relationship
Answer:MEN
A man’s sense of self is defined through his ability to achieve results, through success and accomplishment. Achieve goals and prove his competence and feel good about himself.
To feel good about himself, men must achieve goals by themselves.
For men, doing things by themselves is a symbol of efficiency, power and competence.
In general, men are more interested in objects and things rather than people and feelings.
Men rarely talk about their problems unless they are seeking “expert” advice; asking for help when you can do something yourself is a sign of weakness.
Men are more aggressive than women; more combative and territorial.
Men’s self esteem is more career-related.
Men feel devastated by failure and financial setbacks; they tend to obsess about money much more than women
Men hate to ask for information because it shows they are a failure.
WOMEN:
Women value love, communication, beauty and relationships.
A woman’s sense of self is defined through their feelings and the quality of their relationships. They spend much time supporting, nurturing and helping each other. They experience fulfillment through sharing and relating.
Personal expression, in clothes and feelings, is very important. Communication is important. Talking, sharing and relating is how a woman feels good about herself.
For women, offering help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength; it is a sign of caring to give support.
Women are very concerned about issues relating to physical attractiveness; changes in this area can be as difficult for women as changes in a man’s financial status.
When men are preoccupied with work or money, women interpret it as rejection.

What makes Tea Cake finally “snap”? What happens as a result?
Answer:
The one that causes Tea Cake to finally "snap" is the fact that Mrs. Turner, a co-owner of a coffee shop, would introduce his wife to her white son, since she considered it unacceptable that a Caucasian woman was with a black man, when Tea Cake heard the conversation, beat his wife severely, which generated the separation of the couple, many thought that the rage expressed by Tea Cake was product of Hydrophobia, a disease from which he died shortly after.
Explanation:
What made the Tea Cake “snap” was the jealousy he felt towards his wife.
We can arrive at this answer because:
Tea Cake was filled with rage when he saw that Mrs. Turner was introducing a man to his wife.He found this unacceptable and completely lost control, reaching the point of assaulting his wife and threatening her life.In addition to the jealousy, he felt diminished as he is a black man and his wife was being introduced to a white man.Tea Cake's reaction is vastly over the top and reflects his explosive and passionate personality.
