Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

Only those Egyptians who needed the knowledge for their professions learned how to read and write. These included government officials, doctors, and priests, as well as the scribes who did the actual writing on papyrus and stone.

The schooling of a scribe began at age five or six and was usually completed by age sixteen. Through long, hard hours of practice, the student learned to paint or carve more than six hundred different hieroglyphs. He also learned how to write in hieratic, a flowing form of hieroglyphic writing in which the individual symbols were joined.

What inference can be made based on the details in the excerpt?

Wealth and Power

Insanity

Mother to Son Relationship

Gender Roles

Revenge

Love

book is called Hamlet

Answers

Answer:

Insanity

Explanation:

In Act II and Scene II of Hamlet, we see Polonius and Claudius talking about the possibility that Hamlet is crazy, insane. Polonius is sure of this insanity because he has already seen Hamlet with strange behaviors, like walking alone in the gallery for hours and besides, he read a note that Hamlet sent to Ophelia that reinforced the impression of madness that the youth possessed.

Claudius is hearing everything clearly and has some doubts about Hamlet's madness. The whole conversation took place in the presence of Hamlet's mother, who believes that the son may have gone mad because of the grief in the father's death and the mother's marriage to the man who occupied Hamlet's father's throne.

Jo heard Amy panting after her run, stamping her feet and blowing on her fingers, as she tried to put her skates on but jo never turned, and
went slowly zigzagging down the river, taking a bitter, unhappy sort of satisfaction in her sister's troubles. She had cherished her anger till it grew
strong and took possession of her, as evil thoughts and feelings always do, unless cast out at once. As Laurie turned the bend, he shouted back, –
"Keep near the shore it isn't safe in the middle"
Jo heard, but Amy was struggling to her feet, and did not catch a word. Jo glanced over her shoulder, and the little demon she was harboring
said in her ear,
"No matter whether she heard or not, let her take care of herself.
(from Litle Women by Louisa May Alcott)

hi I need ideas on what to write for a topic that goes like- Write a story in which a train ticket plays an important part

Answers

Answer:

You could do something like, there was a kid who was sent to ride the train and go to their relative to give them something. On the way there the character decides to help someone who fell so the character sets down their things including the ticket to help the person back up. Unfortunately a thief came by and stole the ticket. The character grabs their belongings and runs after the thief but as they were doing that the train was leaving. The character was to be back by 5 pm and that wouldn't be possible if they took another train, and they don't have the money to purchase another one. Nor does the character have a way back home. So they wander around and see a lady who is on the phone and she angrily throws the phone at the ground. She also throws her ticket. The character asks if she is alright and hands the lady her phone and ticket. The lady would be like "Yes, I'm fine" things like that and gives the character her ticket.

That's just one idea but hopefully it helps, and have a great day!

Maybe the train ticket brings a child somewhere magical or something maybe something like from Charlie and the chocolate factory with the golden ticket

According to Thoreau, what happens to those individuals who “serve the state with their consciences”?why?

Answers

Answer:

Thoreau believes the majority of men serve the state physically, or “as machines, with their bodies.” These individuals make up the military and police forces, and because they are unable to make judgments or moral decisions--only follow orders--Thoreau does not think very highly of these individuals. In fact, though others admire the men in these positions, Thoreau see them as beasts of burden or pets of the state.

“They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs.” (ouch!)

A smaller set serve legislatively, and in this Thoreau includes pastors. These individuals are on a higher level than the previous group because they are able to make moral judgments and to act on it.

The final set, and the one that Thoreau admires, are those that serve ideologically : “heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers…” These individuals are often seen as the enemies of the state for using their consciences to resist any injustice they see. They are not appreciated for their efforts by others,...

"When he did appear, he was attended not only by his retinue of dogs but by a black cockerel who marched in front of him and acted as a kind of trumpeter, letting out a loud 'cack-a-doodle-doo' before Napoleon spoke."

In at least 100 words, explain the setting and event Indicated in the above excerpt. Then, describe the characters participating in the event and explain the context clues that helped you define the highlighted vocabulary word ("retinue").​

Answers

I figured out the answer to the question by myself, so here it is:

Answer:

In this particular scene from the above excerpt taken from George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the narrator explains that Napoleon had now felt he had become so powerful that he did not need to appear in front of the other animals as often; when he did arrive, however, he brought his pack of dogs and a black cockerel to protect him and give out a warning to the other animals should anything happen. The reader would be able to discern the meaning of the word "retinue," as it is used in the excerpt above, by their knowledge that Napoleon had raised a pack of dogs to fight for him. In this case, retinue acts as a synonym to "pack".

A builder set up a wooden frame in which to pour concrete for a foundation to a house. The length of the wooden frame is 24 feet. The width is 32 feet. The diagonal is 40 feet. Which best describes the foundation? The foundation cannot be a rectangle: 24 + 32 not-equals 40. The foundation cannot be a rectangle: (24 + 32) squared not-equals 40 squared. The foundation cannot be a rectangle: StartRoot 24 squared + 23 squared EndRoot not-equals 40 squared. The foundation may be a rectangle: 24 squared + 32 squared = 40 squared.

Answers

Answer:

The foundation may be a rectangle: 24 squared + 32 squared = 40 squared.

Explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (that is it has four sides). The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel to each other. Also the opposite sides are equal to each other. The four angles of a rectangle are equal to each other and measure 90° each.

The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. The relationship between the length, width and diagonal of a rectangle is given by:

Diagonal² = length² + width²

Given that length = 24 feet, width = 32 feet, diagonal = 40 feet, we prove that it is rectangle using:

Diagonal² = 24² + 32²

Diagonal² = 1600

Diagonal² = 40²

Hence: 40² = 24² + 32²

Theme is significant because it is the main idea of the entire work, but is not to be confused with the________.
A) Subject
B) Plot
C) Conflict
D) Climax

Answers

B. Plot because the theme is what is going on and the plot is just where it happened so it’s kinda the same thing.

The theme is significant because it is the main idea of the entire work, but is not to be confused with the subject. The correct option is A)

What is a theme?

A literary work's theme is its major idea or principal subject. It serves as a story's unifying factor. A theme is not a character or event rundown. Instead, it is the story's guiding principle or key realization. It is the point the author is attempting to make with the tale.

A story's topic is frequently a general lesson about life. A story's topic is significant because it plays a role in the author's motivation for crafting the narrative. A theme is the implied position of a story's main idea or message. Consider the issue of love as an example: it may be the topic, but it may also be the theme to learn to love oneself.

Therefore, the correct option is A) Subject.

George Bernard Shaw
"You see things, and you say, Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not? This inspiring statement was made by the dramatic
genius George Bernard Shaw.
If English drama today is both worth seeing on the stage and reading as literature, it is mainly due to the work of George Bernard Shaw in drama
and dramatic criticism. Shaw was a drama critic for The Saturday Review from 1859-98. He gained considerable prominence by writing witty critical
reviews while working there. He believed the plays that English audiences appreciated at the time were pretentious farces and highly melodramatic
He once said, "Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." This clearly reveals his
attitude toward the English audiences who he believed were stuck in primitive English customs. His freethinking spirit and views on equality for men
and women were greatly appreciated in society.
A number of Shaw's early plays described the problems of capitalism. A brilliant example of this genre is his Widower's Houses. The Apple Cart is

The main points of a speech are the key ideas that the speaker presents to their audience. There are no strict rules about how many main points a speech should have, but experts generally agree that there shouldn't be too many of them. It's been proven that people don’t tend to remember very much after they listen to a message or leave a conversation.
