The short science fiction narrative Created He Them written by Alice Eleanor Jones tells a distressed housewives point of view describing her life after a nuclear holocaust. Ann Crothers, the housewife, depicts her less than ideal living situation. She lives with her ungrateful and spiteful husband and reveals that once her children reach a certain age, they will be taken away from her. Throughout the story her husband maintains a different point of view of their lives together which reveals the different strains the society weighs on any parents during this time.
From the beginning of the narrative Ann Crothers carefully completes her daily tasks in order not to upset her husband. “She had already poured his coffee; he liked it cooled to a certain degree; but if he did not get up soon it would be too cool and the bacon to crisp and he would be angry and sulk the rest of the day. She had better call him.” (67) She prepared his breakfast conscious of every detail. She even reveals she must put the children in the basement and keep them quiet so any noise they make would not make her husband angry.
Ann Crothers is nervous and thorough to prefect things for her husband, however throughout the day she wishes he would die and repeatedly says she would kill him. She does however care deeply for her children. She takes them outdoors and wheels them down the street when the other women in the neighborhood begin to admire the children. This event connects the women in the society with Ann Crothers and their love for their children. The strangers in the neighborhood show admiration for the children yet their father does not acknowledge them once.
Henry Crothers, the husband, is demanding and critical of his wife. He sees her efforts as lazy and unworthy of his praise. However, telling the narrative in his point of view the reader would be exposed to a male’s coping process with his children being taken from him. In result of nuclear attacks children could be born with mutations or be stillborn the majority of the time. Henry and Ann are blessed and burdened with the fact they can still produce healthy children. Ann states, “we are among the tiny percentage of people in this world who can have normal children. We hate each other, but we breed true.” (75) Lisa Yaszek from Ladies’ Home Journal explains that Henry is a petty tyrant who neglects his children because he knows they will be taken away from him. (88) Although Ann wishes Henry would die, they also know their importance in society and their duty to create children like theirs. They must do this to live, and they must live together.
The hardships during this time turn husbands and wives against each other to cope with their situations. The narrative Created He Them, written by Alice Eleanor Jones reveals the society’s issues and public problems deeply impact the lifestyle and issues in the private sphere as well.

Claudius: Take thy fair hour, Laertes; time be thine, And thy best graces spend it at thy will. But now, my cousin Hamlet, and my son,— Hamlet: [Aside.] A little more than kin, and less than kind. Claudius: How is it that the clouds still hang on you? Hamlet: Not so, my lord; I am too much i’ the sun. What is the most likely reason that Shakespeare chose this point in the play to give Hamlet his first aside?
Hello. You forgot to introduce the answer options. The options are:
A. Shakespeare is alerting the audience to the conflict between Claudius and Hamlet.
B. Shakespeare is making sure the audience knows early on that Hamlet is a tragic hero.
C. Shakespeare is contrasting Hamlet with Laertes to create suspense for the audience.
D. Shakespeare is hinting to the audience that Claudius will cause an unhappy ending for Hamlet.
Answer:
A. Shakespeare is alerting the audience to the conflict between Claudius and Hamlet.
Explanation:
Shakespeare decided to use this moment in the play, to show that Hamlet and his uncle, Claudius, had a conflict that would be explored in the course of the plot. This is evident, because Hamlet uses this dialogue to show his dislike towards Claudius, but Hamlet does not have the courage to show this dislike directly and does it through puns and indirect, as when he says that Claudius is more than a relative to him, but he is not seen with kindness. This moment also shows that Hamlet, distrusts Claudius, but is not sure if it is correct.
That question is sorbe "Hamlet" that tells the story of how Prince Hamlet, faces his own thoughts, fears and family, to avenge his father's death.

Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave" by Neil MacGregor. The Japanologist Donald Keene, from Columbia University, sees the wave as a metaphor for the changes in Japanese society: The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands: shimaguni konjo. Shimaguni is ‘island nations’ konjo is ‘character’. The idea is they are surrounded by water and, unlike the British Isles, which were in sight of the continent, are far away. The uniqueness of Japan is often brought up as a great virtue. A new change of interest in the world, breaking down the classical barriers, begins to emerge. I think the interest in waves suggests the allure of going elsewhere, the possibility of finding new treasures outside Japan, and some Japanese at this time secretly wrote accounts of why Japan should have colonies in different parts of the world in order to augment their own riches. The Great Wave, like the other images in the series, was printed in at least 5,000 impressions, possibly as many as 8,000, and we know that in 1842 the price of a single sheet was officially fixed at 16 mon, the equivalent of a double helping of noodles. This was cheap, popular art; but when printed in such quantities, to exquisite technical standards, it could be highly profitable. Which line is a direct quotation from an external source
Answer:
"The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands: shimaguni konjo."
Explanation:
External sources refer to information placed in a text that was taken from another text, or that was approached by another author, or another professional, that is, information created outside the work presented, but that is relevant to the same .
A direct quote, on the other hand, is one in which the author of one text shows exactly what the author of another text has said about a particular subject.
In the text above, we can see a direct quote from an external source on the line: "The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands: shimaguni konjo." These are the words used by the Japanese scientist Donald Keene and which are relevant to the text presented.

How does Othello plan to kill Desdemona? Why does the "justice" of this method please Othello?
Answer:
Othelo plans to kill Desdemona by making her ingest poison, but Iago convinces him to kill her suffocated with the pillow and Othelo likes this idea, because he thinks it is a matter of justice that Desdemona dies in the bed where she committed adultery.
Explanation:
This question is about "Othello, the Moor of Venice", a play written by Shakespeare that shows Othelo's rise in the city where he lives. From the moment that Othelo, a dark-skinned man, becomes honored and admired in the city, Iago is filled with envy and devises a plan to make Othelo ashamed and lose everything he has achieved. The plan is to make Othelo believe that his wife, Desdemona, is cheating on him with his friend. Othelo believes in this story and, with the help of Iago's ideas, wishes to kill Desdemona, suffocated with her pillow, in the bed where she supposedly committed the adultery.

Common lit: reports from the ruins of the san francisco earthquake of 1906 commonlit answers
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although you forgot to include the context of the question, the article, a link to it, and the options to answer it, we can comment based on our knowledge of this topic.
It seems that your report refers to "Swirl of Fire Ends and Hope Runs High." If this is the case, then the question would be "Which of the following best identifies the central idea of the article? The answer would be: "The disaster allowed first responders and civilians to become celebrated heroes as they save the city from complete destruction."
San Francisco Bay is located in the region of the San Andrew fault, a very seismic place in California.
On April 18, 1906, the city of San Franciso was hit with a major earthquake magnitude 7.8. The telluric movement caused so much damage and destruction such as the destruction of gas pipelines in the city and the fire spread quickly. Although firemen immediately acted, historians consider that the earthquake and the fire killed more than 3000 people and the city was practically destroyed.
Jacob really didn't want to go to the dentist yet, he went anyway.
Cross o it bathe commas that are used incorrectly and add a comma when needed.
Answer:
The comma in the original sentence is being used incorrectly. One way of making it right is the following:
- Jacob really didn't want to go to the dentist, yet he went anyway.
Explanation:
When the conjunction "yet" is being used to join two independent clauses as is the case here, it needs a comma before it - not after. That is why the sentence we are analyzing here is incorrect. If we simply place the comma before yet, it will be corrected:
- Jacob really didn't want to go to the dentist, yet he went anyway.
The only way for the comma to be correctly used after "yet" would be if the two clauses were separated by a period ("Jacob really didn't want to go to the dentist. Yet, he went anyway."). However, in that case, we would no longer be joining the clauses.
