Why did Holmes and Watson travel to Surry
During the violent and chaotic tumult of the boys, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The beast comes out of the forest and attacks the boys
B. Ralph takes part in the chaotic activity
C. Simon struggles away from the mob and falls off the cliff to the sand below
D. The parachutist blows away in the storm
The novel is The Lord of the Flies
Answer:
This is so much fun...
Simon awakens and finds the air dark and humid with an approaching storm. His nose is bleeding, and he staggers toward the mountain in a daze. He crawls up the hill and, in the failing light, sees the dead pilot with his flapping parachute. Watching the parachute rise and fall with the wind, Simon realizes that the boys have mistaken this harmless object for the deadly beast that has plunged their entire group into chaos. When Simon sees the corpse of the parachutist, he begins to vomit. When he is finished, he untangles the parachute lines, freeing the parachute from the rocks. Anxious to prove to the group that the beast is not real after all, Simon stumbles toward the distant light of the fire at Jack’s feast to tell the other boys what he has seen.
Piggy and Ralph go to the feast with the hopes that they will be able to keep some control over events. At the feast, the boys are laughing and eating the roasted pig. Jack sits like a king on a throne, his face painted like a savage, languidly issuing commands, and waited on by boys acting as his servants. After the large meal, Jack extends an invitation to all of Ralph’s followers to join his tribe. Most of them accept, despite Ralph’s attempts to dissuade them. As it starts to rain, Ralph asks Jack how he plans to weather the storm considering he has not built any shelters. In response, Jack orders his tribe to do its wild hunting dance.
Chanting and dancing in several separate circles along the beach, the boys are caught up in a kind of frenzy. Even Ralph and Piggy, swept away by the excitement, dance on the fringes of the group. The boys again reenact the hunting of the pig and reach a high pitch of frenzied energy as they chant and dance. Suddenly, the boys see a shadowy figure creep out of the forest—it is Simon. In their wild state, however, the boys do not recognize him. Shouting that he is the beast, the boys descend upon Simon and start to tear him apart with their bare hands and teeth. Simon tries desperately to explain what has happened and to remind them of who he is, but he trips and plunges over the rocks onto the beach. The boys fall on him violently and kill him.
The storm explodes over the island. In the whipping rain, the boys run for shelter. Howling wind and waves wash Simon’s mangled corpse into the ocean, where it drifts away, surrounded by glowing fish. At the same time, the wind blows the body of the parachutist off the side of the mountain and onto the beach, sending the boys screaming into the darkness.
Explanation:
a sense, Simon’s murder is an almost inevitable outcome of his encounter with the Lord of the Flies in Chapter 8. During the confrontation in the previous chapter, the Lord of the Flies foreshadows Simon’s death by promising to have some “fun” with him. Although Simon’s vision teaches him that the beast exists inside all human beings, his confrontation with the beast is not complete until he comes face-to-face with the beast that exists within the other boys. Indeed, when the boys kill Simon, they are acting on the savage instinct that the beast represents. Additionally, the manner of Simon’s death continues the parallels between Simon and Jesus: both die sacrificial deaths after learning profound truths about human morality. But Simon’s death differs from Jesus’ in ways that complicate the idea that Simon is simply a Christ figure. Although Jesus and Simon both die sacrificial deaths, Jesus was killed for his beliefs, whereas Simon is killed because of the other boys’ delusions. Jesus died after conveying his message to the world, whereas Simon dies before he is able to speak to the boys. In the biblical tradition, Jesus dies to alleviate the burden of mankind’s sin; Simon’s death, on the other hand, simply intensifies the burden of sin pressing down upon the island. According to the Bible, Jesus’ death shows others the way to salvation; Simon’s death exemplifies the power of evil within the human soul.
Answer is C.
The parachutist blows away in the storm The novel is The Lord of the Flies is not true. Hence, option D is correct.
What is the concept of the passage?When Simon wakes up, he notices that a storm is coming and that the air is gloomy and muggy. He stumbles in a trance toward the mountain while his nose is bleeding. As he scrambles up the hill, he spots the deceased pilot's billowing parachute in the waning light.
Simon notices that the guys mistook the parachute, which rises and falls with the wind, for the deadly beast that has caused pandemonium across their entire group. Simon starts to throw up when he sees the parachutist's body.
Upon completion, he untangles the parachute lines to release the parachute from the rocks. Simon stumbles toward the far light of the fire, eager to show the group that the beast is not real after all.
Thus, option D is correct.

How does Shirley Jackson manipulate common plot structure to create an effect? *Charles*
Answer:
Jackson builds the plot around Charles's bad influence on Laurie, making the reader believe that the whole story will develop with this structure and believe that the climax will be the moment Charles is confronted. However, the author makes the climax also the resolution of the story and that this is focused on Laurie and not Charle. This happens at the moment when Laurie's parents and the reader discover that Charle does not exist, which triggers a surprise effect, in addition to showing a full use of irony.
Explanation:
The short story "Charles" tells the story of Laurie who was a very kind boy, but who suddenly starts to develop very disobedient behaviors that scares his parents, who try to find out the reason why Laurie is doing this. Laurie says this is how his class friend Charlie behaves. Thus, Laurie's parents conclude that Charlie is a bad influence and decide to talk to the boys' teacher so that Charlie is confronted. However, the teacher states that there is no student named Charlie and that Laurie invented this boy.
can you please write a 2-3 sentence paragraph on why a little change like substituting or eliminating a food item in a recipe be important for someone with allergies? make sure there is at least one piece of evidence from the text. I know I seem lazy but citing evidence isn’t my thing.
Answer:
Alot of times you cant change the ingrediants in the recipe because it changes what the food is. The passage says, " The best way to handle a food allergy is to avoid that particular food." So the best way is to just find food that has ingredients your not allergic to because the whole food will end up being something different in the end.

Sandra's parents rejected the traditional gender roles upheld in her society. Which of the following best describes
how this has led to Sandra's increased resilience?
Sandra's parents ingrained in her that although she should still get married and bear children, a good education is most important
Ob Sandra's parents ingrained in her that although her brothers are still her superiors, she should still have her own mind
Ос Sandra's parents ingrained in her that although most girls do not continue their education, going to school was important for her
to develop a sense of strength and independence.
Od
Sandra's parents ingrained in her that although society did not value her as a young girl, she would still be considered equal to her
brothers in their household
Answer:
Sandra's parents ingrained in her that although most girls do not continue their education, going to school was important for her to develop a sense of strength and independence.
Explanation:
Resilience is a trait that can be defined as the ability to recover after being knocked down by difficulties and come back as strong as before, if not even stronger. As stated in the third option, parents taught Sandra that school was important for her to develop a sense of strength and independence, which are important aspects of resilience.
Sandra's parents rejected traditional gender roles, which means that they wouldn't teach her that she needs to get married and have children or that her brothers are her superiors. They would teach her that they are equals. The fourth option fits this, but there is no reason she would learn to be resilient just because she and her brothers are treated equally in their household.
Thus, the correct option is the third one.
