I was climbing up a mountain-path

With many things to do,

Important business of my own,

And other people's too,

When I ran against a Prejudice

That quite cut off the view.

My work was such as could not wait,

My path quite clearly showed,

My strength and time were limited,

I carried quite a load;

And there that hulking Prejudice

Sat all across the road.

So I spoke to him politely,

For he was huge and high,

And begged that he would move a bit

And let me travel by.

He smiled, but as for moving! —

He didn't even try.

And then I reasoned quietly

With that colossal
mule:

My time was short — no other path —

The mountain winds were cool.

I argued like a Solomon;

He sat there like a fool.

Then I flew into a passion,

and I danced and howled and swore.

I pelted and belabored him

Till I was stiff and sore;

He got as mad as I did —

But he sat there as before.

And then I begged him on my knees;

I might be kneeling still

If so I hoped to move that mass

Of obdurate
ill-will —

As well invite the monument

To vacate Bunker Hill!

So I sat before him helpless,

In an ecstasy
of woe —

The mountain mists were rising fast,

The sun was sinking slow —

When a sudden inspiration came,

As sudden winds do blow.

I took my hat, I took my stick,

My load I settled fair,

I approached that awful incubus

With an absent-minded air —

And I walked directly through him,

As if he wasn't there!

What does the author imply about the nature of prejudice in this poem? How does the author suggest one should react to prejudice?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The prejudice is but wind. It can seem like it's in your way, but you can walk directly through it. The author suggests that you should not beg, not cry, not get angry, but instead ignore it.

Which option most accurately demonstrates how poet William Blake views the practice of forced child labor in "The Chimney Sweeper" (Songs of Experience)?

Answers

Answer: A. Blake is outraged by the fact that families allow and encourage child labor.

Explanation:

In this poem by William Blake, he hopes to expose the corrupting influences of the Church on families as they lead families away from providing the best they can for their children and instead condoning child labor with the Chimney sweepers being the focus.

Blake is outraged that the families cannot see what they are doing to their children by putting religion above the children's happiness and instead pushing them to engage in child labor.

Which page was when the theme of the Outsiders was loyalty and friendship? ​

Answers

Answer:

Chapter 4,6,9

Explanation:

“Dally’s ok,” Johnny said defensively, and I nodded. You take up for your buddies no matter what they do. When you’re in a gang, you stick up for the members.

Ponyboy explains Johnny’s defense of Dally after Dally harasses Cherry and Marcia, two Socs, at the drive-in theater. Despite Dally being the aggressor in the situation, Johnny justifies his actions in coming to Dally’s defense. Ponyboy concludes that loyalty is paramount and expected when you are in a gang. The theme of loyalty recurs throughout the book: When characters do not show loyalty, chaos ensues.

Our one rule besides Stick together is Don’t get caught.

Two-Bit explains the logic of a fight between two greasers. Dally has slashed the tires of Tim Shepard, the leader of another greaser gang, so Shepard will have to fight Dally. Two-Bit justifies his involvement in the feud to Cherry and Marcia: Even though Dally deserves what’s coming to him, Two-Bit will fight alongside Dally because greasers stick together. The situation contrasts the greasers’ loyalty with the Socs’, who he later says will gang up on each other for sport. Loyalty is presented as a point of pride for the greasers throughout the novel.

I looked around, startled. I hadn’t realized Johnny was right behind me all the way.Ponyboy reflects on the surprise he felt when he realized Johnny followed him into the burning building to help save children who were trapped inside. Ponyboy uses the word “startled” to convey the significant change he has just understood. The time in the church has bonded Ponyboy and Johnny beyond their social class. Their loyalty as friends, above and beyond being greasers, has taken root. The decision to risk their lives for non-gang members reveals the humanity beneath their rough exteriors, the courage that extends deeper than what’s expected from a fellow gang member.

“You’re a traitor to your own kind and not loyal to us.”

Ponyboy lashes out at Cherry after she refuses to visit Johnny in the hospital. Cherry finds herself caught between the two gangs: She’s been spying on the Socs for the greasers, but she can’t show solidarity with the greasers by visiting Johnny. Ponyboy’s condemnation of her hits hard, and even he knows it. Ponyboy’s sense of loyalty is challenged by Cherry, a person who has mixed loyalties, but to whom he’s bonded as a friend.But then, Darry’s gone through a lot in his twenty years, grown up too fast.

Ponyboy reflects on his older brother Darry’s life circumstances. After their parents were killed in a car accident, Darry took on the role of primary caregiver, and works two jobs just to provide for Ponyboy and Sodapop. Ponyboy understands the importance of loyalty within their family: If the three brothers don’t work together, they are in threat of being separated. The story portrays the loyalty of the Curtis family and the greasers as being part of a strict code of honor that goes beyond social class.

Okay, so you see the question so is asking What does he believe about lying? and it tells you to give an example that is in the article, right.

So restating means rewriting it to make it an answer. So the question is what does he believe about lying?

- Answer:  you can put "Randy Cohen thought / or believes that lying is ... (put what he believes in ). For example, in paragraph (put the number) it tells the reader that (put something that supports your answer here).

So example he believes that lying is morally okay/ right. In paragraph 10, it explains that his views are that it helps people protect themselves or others.
