What theme of the play Hamlet is apparent in these lines? Alexander was buried, Alexander returneth to dust; the dust is earth; of earth we make loam; and why of that loam whereto he was converted might they not stop a beer-barrel? Imperious Caesar, dead and turn'd to clay, Might stop a hole to keep the wind away.
A. revenge
B. corruption
C. mortality
D. insanity
E. greed
Theme is described as the central idea, lesson, or message that the author wishes to convey through a literary work.
As per the question, the theme of 'mortality' in the Act V, Scene I of play 'Hamlet' is clearly evident in the given lines as it reveals that humans cannot escape death as it is inevitable. This is substantiated through the claim that Alexander and Julius Caesar despite being such great man had to be 'buried and returneth to dust' and 'turn'd to clay' implying that all humans turn into dust eventually. This reflects the transient nature of human life and suggest that humans have to accept death, sooner or later. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Visual images in Romeo and Juliet that helps to bring out the theme of love
Answer:
Visual images that help us bring up the theme of love in Romeo and Juliet are for example: The way Romeo refers to Juliet as the sun, or as an angel, when he visits her on his balcony or escapes to be able to see her in secret, the tender kiss he gave to her, or that she claims about the hatred of the two families and is sorry for not being able to be with her loved one.
Explanation:
In literature, the image is used to address the reader directly so that it can "bring to life" the senses, feelings, or anything lived that helps to represent in a particular way what they are reading, in their mind.
Let's see quotes from Romeo and Juliet that make us see the love that they both felt:
"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?It is the east, and Juliet is the sun ..."
"O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o’er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air. "
"My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. "

Click to read a passage from "An Indian Father's Plea" by Medicine Grizzlybear
Lake. Then answer the question.
A letter often breaks down the barrier between the reader and writer, and
allows the author to set a personal tone. Which sentence from Lake's letter
best demonstrates this effect?
A. I would like to introduce you to my son, Wind-Wolf.
B. He was born and raised on a reservation.
C. He has black hair, dark brown eyes, olive complexion.
D. And like so many Indian children his age, he is shy and quiet in the
classroom
Read this opening paragraph from "An Indian Father's Plea" by Medicine Grizzlybear Lake: Dear teacher, I would like to introduce you to my son, WindWolf. He is probably what you would consider a typical Indian kid. He was born and raised on the reservation. He has black hair, dark brown eyes, and an olive complexion. And like so many Indian children his age, he is shy and quiet in the classroom. He is five years old, in kindergarten, and I can't understand why you have already labeled him a "slow learner." Which statement best explains why the author begins his letter with this passage?
A. The author begins the letter in this way to describe his son's
physical appearance.
B. The author begins the letter in this way to let the teacher know
that he is upset with her behavior.
C. The author begins the letter in this way to show that he
understands the teacher's perspective.
D. The author begins the letter in this way to explain why his son is
unhappy in the school.
Answer:
C. The author begins the letter in this way to show that he
understands the teacher's perspective.
Explanation:
The father starts the letter by letting his child's teacher know that he understands him from his perspective.
He wants the teacher to understand that his son may be a recluse and shy but that does not mean that he is a slow learner, rather it is a cultural thing.
He tries to explain that an Indian child has a different culture and perspective so he may be misunderstood by others as shy but when in reality they are really thoughtful.

One of the more controversial topics for students at this community college is the cost of textbooks. Textbooks are written for many reasons, not the least of which is the publisher royalties that are paid to the author(s). Publishers are eager to enforce "fair use" laws that prohibit students from copying materials offered in a given text. Discuss your interpretation of the fair use laws and how you think they relate to students. Are they fair? Also consider how you would interpret the laws if you were the author.
Answer:
A fair use is a copying of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright ower for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as quoting a few lines from a song for a music review or summizing from a medical article for use by a teacher in a lesson.
This relates to students because material is vital for their study. Imagine that you have to ask for permission whenever you extract a few copyrighted material for your report or presentation. Fair use laws enable you to use more material with ease.
From the author’s view, some may think that this law has a negative impact on them as they lose a large amount of money. However, the more people can access to copyrighted material, the better the original version will become. It is because the original will be commented and criticized by other experts like the way a scientific paper is published. Furthermore, fair use laws help students from low-income families access to better education so that they can become productive people and contribute to society. I think owner will be happy and have a sense of achievement because they do such a good thing. Moreover, a fairly extensive use of the original work is permitted in a parody in order to “conjure up” the original, so the owner will benefit from this when their mental children are beautified.
To sum up, I think fair use law is a human law because thanks to it, education can be free and accessible for more people, especially the poor. Although this law is not beneficial for authors in some cases, its effect may go beyond the things that money can bring, it is humanity.

Odysseus warns his men to return to the ship, but many of the men did not listen and instead ran inland to see what else they could take for themselves.
