Make me, O Lord, Thy spinning wheel complete,

Make mine affections Thy swfit flyers neat,
And make my soul Thy holy spool to be.
My conversation make to be Thy reel,
And reel the yarn thereon spun of Thy wheel.

And make Thy holy spirit, Lord, wind quills;
Then weave the web Thyself. The yarn is fine.

Then dye the same in heavenly colors choice,
All pinked with varnished flowers of paradise.
Then clothe therewith mine understanding, will,
Affections, judgment, conscience, memory,
My words and actions, that their shine may fill
My ways with glory and Thee glorify.
Then mine apparel shall display before Ye

I totally agree with you, I believe Draco Malfoy was not a bad person at all.

Explanation:

He just seemed to always choose the winning side if you know what I mean like the 6th movie he didn't want to kill Dumbledore and joined Voldemorts side because of his father and I guess mother and because he thought Harry had no chance of winning so he joined Voldemorts side cos' that was the winning team. In the 7th movie, Draco saw that Harry was "winning" so he switched to their side I guess. When Draco thought that Harry died he thought that there was no hope left and had to go to the winning team and join his parents.

what are some example of justice in to kill a mockingbird​

Answers

Answer:

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is full of instances of both justice and injustice, and most of them happen outside of the courtroom. In fact, the most obvious miscarriage of justice happens in a courtroom but is redressed outside of it. Both Cecil Jacobs and the Finches' cousin Francis are served a little justice by Scout in the form of a physical blow. Both boys accuse Atticus of being a bad lover who defends guilty black men, and both of them get punched for saying it. This is a form of "fair treatment and due reward" for their insults. Neither boy is punished (in fact, Scout is the one who gets punished), but Scout upholds what she sees as justice ("fair treatment") in the most obvious (and admittedly reactionary) way she knows how.

The dog was disappointed and yearned back toward the fire. This man did not know cold. Possibly all the generations of his ancestry had been ignorant of cold, of real cold, of cold one hundred and seven degrees below freezing-point. But the dog knew; all its ancestry knew, and it had inherited the knowledge. And it knew that it was not good to walk abroad in such fearful cold. It was the time to lie snug in a hole in the snow and wait for a curtain of cloud to be drawn across the face of outer space whence this cold came.

Question 9 (5 points)

Read the two fictional conflicts below. Using complete sentences, explain how the differences in setting might affect the protagonist.

Story A: A boy gets caught stealing an apple in a crowded high school lunchroom.

Story B: A boy gets caught stealing an apple in a four-person lifeboat that has been drifting at sea for three days. (5 points)

Your answer:

Answers

Explanation:

From Story A since we are told that the boy gets caught stealing in a crowded high school lunchroom it is very possible for many to become aware of his actions; bringing him more shame and punishment.

However, in Story B, since we are told the boy was caught stealing in a four-person lifeboat that has been drifting at sea for three days, it is reasonable to believe that the protagonist (the boy) would face far lesser punishment because of the circumstances;

Remember, we are told that the lifeboat has been drifting at sea for three days, which means there may have been insufficient food onboard which likely lead to the theft.Because the number of those that are onboard is lesser, he will face lesser punishment.

Answer: story A: since the room is more congested, more irregular individuals detect that the individual has been seen robbing; thus, their intention is slightly acting. The protagonist's intention is not to look as sinister. Whereas in story B, the ship's individuals are numerous, exhausted, and likely to have eaten a lot. Therefore, they are powerless to get mad or, should I express it, hungry, so the protagonist could be abused or examined highly poorly in that setting.

The Sniper Assessment Questions Part A: Which statement best identifies a theme of the short story?

Answers

Answer:

Soldiers disconnect from their humanity in battle and focus on others as adversaries.

Explanation:

Liam O'Flaherty's short story "The Sniper," tells the story of how a Republican sniper killed his own brother amidst the split in the army between the "Republicans and Free Staters". The story's main theme seems to be the inexcusable nature of war that separates families and even made them enemies.

The sniper succeeded in locating the enemy sniper who thought that he had successfully taken him out. The ruse of putting his army cap on top of his rifle worked and brought the other sniper out in the open. It was then that he successfully take out his enemy. But while escaping from his present location amidst the rain of bullets, he had the strange urge to see who he had killed. And once he lifted the lifeless body of the dead sniper, he discovered it was "his brother's face" that greeted him.

Thus, the statement that best identifies the story's theme is that soldiers are disconnected to their human side when on the battlefield and sees everyone as their enemies, foes.

What are some examples of direct and indirect characterization in “the cast of amontillado”

Answers

The direct characters in The Cask of Amontillado are Montresor (the first-person narrator) and the ironically-named Fortunato, his inadvertent enemy. No one else appears in the story, but reference is made to several indirect characters.Luchesi is a man known to both Montresor and Fortunato. He has a reputation as a connoisseur of wine and is therefore a rival to Fortunato in this respect. Fortunato contemptuously dismisses his expertise, but this may be mere bravado. Montresor uses repeated references to Luchesi as a form of reverse psychology to lure Fortunato into the vaultMontresor's disobedient servants are also mentioned. We do not know how many there are, but the fact that he has several makes us question his claim to be a ruined man. He has expressly told them to stay in the house and is cynically certain that this is the way to ensure their departureLady Fortunato is mentioned by her unfortunate husband. She will be waiting, in company, at the palazzo.

What writers struggle to express through numerous newspaper columns, the cartoon manages in a pointed one-liner. Little wonder then, that the first thing most of us like to see when we pick up a newspaper is the cartoon. Simple though it may seem, making a cartoon is an art that requires a combination of hard work, training and a good sense of humour. Cartoonists say that the cartoons that make us laugh the most are in fact the cartoons that are hardest to make. Even celebrated cartoonists like R.K.Laxman admit that making a cartoon is not a piece of cake. Laxman says he has to wait for over six hours, which includes spending a lot of time scanning newspapers and television channels before any idea strikes him.

So how does one become a cartoonist? Which of us has the talent to make it? How can we master the rib-tickling strokes and the witty one-liners? How can we make people smile or laugh? There are few colleges or schools for cartoonists. Most cartoonists come from art colleges, while some learn the craft on their own. Most established cartoonists are of the view that no institute can teach you to make a cartoon. "You can pick up the craft, you may learn to sketch and draw in institutes, but no one can teach anyone how to make a good cartoon," says Uday Shanker, a cartoonist with Navbharat Times. While basics, like drawing and sketching can be learnt in an art college, and are important skills, these alone, do not make a good cartoonist. Because it's a question of one's creativity and sense of humour; two qualities one simply may not have. The advice established cartoonists give is that just because you can sketch, don't take it for granted that you will become a cartoonist.
