1. What relationships are important/influential in this Dorothy's life? (Wizard of Oz) List three relationships and give examples from the text, explaining how each relationship shaped the character. Will give BRAINIEST for an unique and accurate answer. :) (NO TROLLING or I'll report!)

Answers

Answer:

Glinda - the good witch is like a mother to her, caring for her along the way.  Guiding her but allowing her to make decisions on her own and to learn from her own mistakes.

Tin-Man - He had a very big heart even though he really never had literal heart.  He was good and compassionate and had been this way all along, but he never could realize his potential to love.

Lion - He was afraid, just like Dorothy was afraid.  She encouraged him to have courage - and at the same time, she encouraged herself.  

Scarecrow - he was good and kind and knew that he did not want to spend his life scaring people.  He wanted to have friends and to be loving to others.  D helped him realize his potential of being kind and good and loving along the way and she learned her own ability to love and to be loved.

You have to remember that these "people" were searching for something all along the way and in reality they had these special characteristics all along.  You could assume that they had to go through turmoil and hard times to literally see the good - but, they had the ability all along to love, be smart, and to not be afraid.  

It is also cool to note that the wizard was really not a wizard in his own eyes.  He also felt that he could not measure up to what was expected of him.  He had this idea that he had to be great, powerful, scary, and rule with an iron hand.  He did not.  He realized that he could help others by just being himself and being good.

There is good in everyone :)  We just have to find it.

One of the most important relationships I think are overlooked in The Wizard Of Oz are Toto and Dorthy!

I don’t have access to real text from the book but this is the best I have for you and hopes it helps!

Logos

quotation "who among us would be content to have the colour of their skin changed and stand in this place? who among us would then be content with the patience and delay."

This quote gives the audience a serious thought. The audience question themselves and then takes a moment to reflect the racism aspect

Pathos

"A great change is at hand and it's our task our obligation to make that revolution that changes peacefully and constructive for all. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality."

This quote makes the audience take what President Kennedy is saying seriously. He tells the audience to take action, by explaining to them that if we want equality to occur then we need to make the change by making it our job to have equality.    

The Metamorphosis contains many references to sleep and dreams. The first sentence of the novella begins with the phrase, “When Gregor Samsa awoke in his bed one morning from unquiet dreams…” Might Kafka be suggesting that Gregor’s metamorphosis is entirely a dream? Identify at least four passages and explain how they support or challenge this interpretation.

Answers

Answer:

In order to accurately describe the passages needed in order to answer the question, you will need to first identify what the sentence truly means. For example, if I read a passage and the first sentence said, " Tis was I who found out the real truth of unexplained deeds..." You might be able to determine that this sentence means that the character that spoke this line is explaining to the reader that they found out about the real truth about murder or even the death of a character. Finally, to answer your question, Kafka is pretty much saying that the dreams that Gregor were having, were more real than a predicament. Basically saying that the dreams could foreshadow the next event in the story.

A.) Stole B.) Diamond C.) King's D.) I

Answers

C. King’s
it’s significant and should be stressed because it is the king of all people.

In the line I stole the king's diamond, what word should the actor stress to create the interpretation that he/she is proud of this action is option D i.e. I.

What is context of the story?

In the line "I took the King's jewel", the principal center is around the taken precious stone. Yet, assuming that the entertainer is to push a word so that he/she is pleased with his/her extraordinary accomplishment, the pressure ought to be on "I".

Acting is a type of reproducing a particular inclination, scene, or event with the goal that there is no distinction in the truth and the acted rendition.

That is on the grounds that, on the off chance that the "I" is worried, the attention is on the individual, the entertainer "I", who thought for even a second to take from the lord.

This is a presentation expertise that empowers a great deal of entertainers and entertainers to have the option to feature their ability out on the planet.

The pushed "I" gives an impression of the individual carrying out the extraordinary thing.

I think that once you've found a person that you're very fond of...I mean a person who's fond of you, too, and likes you enough to be interested in your character...Well, I think that's just as important as college is, and even more so. That's what I think. What is the explicit meaning of this excerpt from Our Town? George does not value education. George does not want to learn about agriculture. George wants to stay and develop a relationship with Emily. George wants to receive letters from Emily while he is at school.

Answers

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's look at the four answer options.

1. George does not value education.

2. George does not want to learn about agriculture.

3. George wants to stay and develop a relationship with Emily.

4. George wants to receive letters from Emily while he is at school.

Option #1 is incorrect because he says that love is just as important or more important than college, and since love is a huge theme in literature, it leads me to believe that he does still value education as well.

Option #2 is incorrect as well because he does not talk about why he doesn't like agriculture at all, and he only mentions it when talking about the school.

Option #4 is incorrect because he says nothing about letters and specifically says he isn't going to school so he wouldn't be receiving letters at school

This leaves us with option #3. This makes sense because he is saying that love and relationships are more important to him than school, so he will stay and not go to the school.

The answer is George wants to stay and develop a relationship with Emily.

Have a wonderful day! :D

The answer is: George wants to stay and develop a relationship with Emily.

In Anna Sewell’s novel Black Beauty, the narrator’s master is a good and kind man. Which sentence in this excerpt reflects this trait through indirect characterization? Our master was a good, kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging, and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. We were all fond of him, and my mother loved him very much. When she saw him at the gate she would neigh with joy, and trot up to him. He would pat and stroke her and say, "Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?" I was a dull black, so he called me Darkie; then he would give me a piece of bread, which was very good, and sometimes he brought a carrot for my mother. All the horses would come to him, but I think we were his favorites. My mother always took him to the town on a market day in a light gig.
