When Juliet offers a fake apology to her father, she notes that she has been instructed by the Friar "to fall prostrate here. Explain the double meaning
Answer and Explanation:
The double meaning of "to fall prostrate here" is related to what Juliet is doing now and what she will do later that night. Juliet, who is in love with Romeo, is being forced by her father to marry someone else. She is instructed by Friar Lawrence to pretend regretting her behavior, to pretend that she agrees to such marriage, and to fall prostrate. She does fall prostrate - she falls to her knees while begging her father for forgiveness. Let's keep in mind that "prostrate" means lying stretched out on the ground with one's face downward.
However, Juliet will also fall prostrate later, when she drinks the potion Friar Lawrence has given her. The potion will slow her heartbeat down, making her look like she is dead. There is a certain irony to this, as if Juliet is teasing her father, foreshadowing what will take place soon but without any chance of him grasping that meaning.
How has The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald altered our perspective of ourselves, American Society and/or world issues?
For my final project
1 paragraph
Answer:
According to the foreword to the novel written by Charles Scribner III, Fitzgerald wanted to write a book that was "consciously artistic" and "beautiful and simple and intricately patterned."
Having had commercial success with This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald hoped, in other words, to write a literary masterpiece. Fitzgerald started to write this novel as a satire called Trimalchio, based on the Roman satire the Satyricon, but the novel transcended that form. Gatsby was modeled on Trimalchio, a nouveau riche former slave who gave lavish parties, but Gatsby transformed in Fitzgerald's hands into a figure of tragic romance.
Fitzgerald also wanted to explore the American Dream, as the novel does through Gatsby's desire to start anew and wipe away the past, which is part of the larger American dream of coming to a new continent and creating a new and improved society. In Gatsby's case, the dream means regaining Daisy and acting as if the years they were apart never happened.
Fitzgerald succeeded in writing a novel that was lyrical, short, and "intricately patterned"—there is an enormous attention to detail in this work. Though not a success on its first release, the novel is now solidly in the canon of great American literature.

Answer:
The book is 1984 by George Orwell.
The quote is:
“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
Explanation:
1984 is about a totalitarian society led by a ruthless dictator named Big Brother, who might be or might not be real.
In this totalitarian society, the lives of people are controlled in every possible way: from the moment the wake up, to the work they do, to the moment they go to bed. Even thoughts are controlled.
However, the majority of people are like drones of the system because they have been brainwashed by the state, and one of the brainwashing techniques that the state uses is "doublespeak". Doublespeak consists in using one word to say the opposite.
In the quote, we can see doublespeak clearly: "war is peace", "freedom is slavery", "ignorance is strenght".
The totalitarian nations of this book are in perpetual war, but war brings peace according to the brainwashing. The people are slaves to the system, but they think they are actually "free". And they are also ignorant, but they believe that ignorance makes them "strong".

Sharon is in dilemma. He/ she wants to go for an excursion to goa with the school,however, his father wants him to stay back for his cousin's wedding. Construct a dialogue between both of them in about 100 words.
Answer and Explanation:
FATHER: I know, I know...
SHARON: You're the one who said I could go on the excursion, dad. You told me to do my chores and do well at school, and I did. I even got a B in Math, and you know how much I hate Math!
FATHER: Yes, son. I get it. You are right. But back then I didn't realize the dates would coincide. Don't you think your cousin will be disappointed? She loves you and has always supported you in everything. Don't you think you should support her at this important moment?
SHARON: Well, I hadn't really thought of that. I guess I would be hurt if she didn't come to my wedding to go on an excursion with her friends, if it were the other way around.
FATHER: Right? I know she is usually very understanding, but this is truly a unique event in her life. I can see you're putting yourself in her shoes already. What do you think is the right thing to do?
SHARON: I'll come to the wedding, of course. She has played a huge role in my life. Denying that would be very selfish of me.
Note: there are more than 100 words. Feel free to edit anything you see as unimportant to the dialog.

what is the difference between home and house
Assalamu Alaikum
The main difference between them is that house is concrete. House refers to a building in which someone lives. In contrast, a home can refer either to a building or to any location that a person thinks of as the place where he lives and that belongs to him
Answer:
House is a permanent structure, a building. House generally refers to a building in which someone lives. But a house is still a house, even if there is no one living inside the building.
Home is the place where you live or the location where you feel that you belong, so a home can be a building or a location. Home has more emotional feelings than the world house, it represents comfort, safety. A home can also be the town/ city/ country where you grew up.
