Use context clues to determine the meaning of compensation as it is used in paragraph 93 of "The Monkey's Paw." Write your definition here and
identify clues that helped you figure out its meaning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The meaning of word 'compensation' is an act of making amendments, for instance with money, in return of a service.

Explanation:

'The Monkey's Paw' is a short story written by W. W. Jacobs. The story is about a magical monkey paw presented by White's guests to them. The story centers around the theme the consequences of trying to rule out fate.

In paragraph 93, the word 'compensation' means an act of making amendment in return of a service provided, sometimes these amendments are made with money.

The context clue that the author has left in the text for the readers to understand the meaning of the word is in the previous information provided in the same sentence.

'They admit no liability at all, but in consideration of your son’s services they wish to present you with a certain amount of money as compensation.'

Thus compensation, a sum of money, was presented to Mr and Mrs White in return of the service he provided to his company.

The story of King Lear and his daughters was a popular one during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. At least a dozen available books offered the story to anyone wishing to read it, by the time Elizabeth died. The characters were undeveloped in most of these stories, however, making the story a simple narrative that stated an obvious moral. When he began work on Lear, perhaps his greatest tragedy, Shakespeare must have had several versions of this story available to him. He turned the characters into credible human beings with complex motives, however, even though they were based on the stock figures of legend.

Answers

Answer:

During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the story of King Lear and his sons was very popular and relevant to most Englishmen who knew the course of this story well.

The popularity of this story inspired several authors, creating at least a dozen books available to anyone curious, which remained even after Queen Elizabeth's death.

However, the characters in these books had little personality and were underdeveloped, making the story obvious and not arousing readers' excitement.

Shakespeare had access to these books and probably used them to write his greatest tragedy, King Lear.

Providing a completely new construction and outfit to the characters, Shakespeare show them as credible, complex characters, full of layers and motivations that excited the audience.

Explanation:

The above excerpts were written according to what was asked in the question above, adding an appropriate topic and an appropriate final emphasis.

The excerpts reveal Shakespeare's relevance in the new guise and presentation of King Lear and his daughters, taking a story that was very demotivating and boring in something complex, stimulating, non-linear and totally different from what has been seen so far, consecrating Rei Lear as one of Shakespeare's greatest works and reaffirming the talent in creating characters and narratives, which he possessed.

What message do the characters develop this message during “Harrison Bergeron”

Answers

Answer:

When Kurt Vonnegut writes his short story "Harrison Bergeron", the hidden message concerns the dangers of total equality.

In Vonnegut's America, the Government decided to amend the Constitution, so that all citizens are entirely equal in all aspects of life.

Citizens are forced to wear mechanisms that prevent physically and intellectually talented people from reaching their full potentials.

In Vonnegut's description of America, citizens who are either gifted or attractive, suffer consequences because of their condition. Individuality has been completely suppressed.

Harrison Bergeron is forced to wear weights, an ugly mask, and huge headphones just to make him equal to other citizens. When he escapes from prison, he tries to overthrow the Government; this makes the reader excited and hopeful. However, when Diana Moon Glampers ends Harrison's life, the reader gets a pessimistic feeling towards the concept of equality.
