Why does Gandalf think it is important to include Bilbo as
the 14th member of the expedition

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He really didn't have a reason....... that's just how he chose to do it.......

Explanation:

"Of course, there is a mark," said Gandalf. "I put it there myself. For very good reasons. You asked me to find the fourteenth man for your expedition, and I chose Mr. Baggins. Just let anyone say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like, or go back to digging coal."

As for further explanation, the text later cites ( a few paragraphs down)

"So, no one can tell for sure why he did that, but one can think, beyond the shadow of a doubt that he 'sensed' that Bilbo is a 'man' for the job."

Answers

Connotative meanings are identified through words that do not have real meanings, but subjective meanings and are different from those found in the dictionary.

We can come up with this answer because:

Connotative meaning refers to an adapted meaning that refers to figurative language.This is because words with connotative meanings have a different meaning from the real meaning, which is shown in the dictionary.The use of words with connotative meaning is made to deepen and highlight specific points in the text, being able to promote messages and highlight the theme, tone, among others.

In the last line of the poem “On Shakespeare,” what does Milton mean when he writes that kings would "wish to die"?

Answers

Answer:

It means that the kings would die for the tombe because it holds great value to them, I believe

Explanation:

Good luck!

Answer:

John Milton praises Shakespeare’s writing style and literary works through the poem “On Shakespeare.” He feels that Shakespeare’s invaluable works have created a place in readers’ hearts, and his fame and glory increase with the rise in the number of his readers. He also states that readers' immense love of Shakespeare's work has made those readers Shakespeare’s monument (“tomb”):

Dost make us Marble with too much conceaving

And so Sepulcher'd in such pomp dost lie,

That Kings for such a Tomb would wish to die.

Milton suggests that even kings would wish for such a monument from their subjects and would rather reside in their hearts than be forgotten.

Use the KISS method: Keep It Simple, Sweetie!I JUST NEED A BASIC LAYOUT. A REFERENCE SHEET. For all the years I knew my grandma, she could barely see. Grandma was legally blind, and yet she knew, by feel, the location of every dish in her kitchen and every work of literature on the bookcase in the living room. I remember especially the bird-like way she peered at things. I'd bring her a copy of my latest school picture, and she'd hold the photo an inch or two from her face, tilt her head to one side, and inspect it before saying, "Very pretty." I used to think she was just being polite, that she really couldn't see me in the picture. But then she'd add, "That pin you're wearing was your mother's." How did she see that little blur on my jacket? The things she could see never failed to amaze me. Watching television with Grandma, I never failed to learn something. Usually it was the complicated plot twist of one of her favorite soap operasThe Guiding Light or As the World Turns. We grandkids would curl up on the big couch while Grandma pulled up a footstool and planted herself right next to the TV, elbows on her knees, to watch the screen. At the commercial break, she'd explain who was marrying whom and who was in the hospital and who had recently come back from the dead. She seemed to have no trouble identifying the characters whom she could barely see. Whether or not she could bring them into sharp focus, they were as real to her as her giggling grandkids. For a treat, we'd sometimes pile into our grandparent's black car for a drive around town: my grandfather at the wheel, my long-legged older brother in the front seat, and Grandma sandwiched between me and my little brother in the backbut sitting so far forward she was practically in the front. I'd imagined all she could see was a blur of images rushing past, yet she could always tell when Grandpa had missed a turn or forgotten to turn on his headlights. Returning home, Grandma would wave at the boy who mowed their lawn and point out the new fruit on the plum tree in their yard. In later years, when I visited from college, Grandma would always be waiting when I pulled up in my old orange car (that's admittedly hard to miss, no matter how bad one's vision). She'd greet me with a bear hug. Then she'd surprise me, every time, with what she could see. Holding my face in her hands, she'd turn my head from side to side and announce, "You got your hair cut!" as if I had won the lottery and forgotten to tell her. I began to wonder if we rely on our eyes too muchif maybe, with our perfect sight, we're actually missing the details my grandma and her poor vision never failed to catch.This story makes the reader think about what we can and cannot see. What question does the author ask us to think about at the end? A. Was life just a blur of images racing past our eyes? B. Could Grandma see the things she said she could see? C. Do people with perfect vision miss out on the details of life? D. Do blind people enjoy life more than people who can see?
