Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 1, of Julius Caesar. ANTONY. O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, That I am meek and gentle with these butchers! Thou art the ruins of the noblest man That ever livèd in the tide of times. Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood! Over thy wounds now do I prophesy— Which like dumb mouths do ope their ruby lips To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue— A curse shall light upon the limbs of men; Domestic fury and fierce civil strife Shall cumber all the parts of Italy; Blood and destruction shall be so in use, And dreadful objects so familiar, That mothers shall but smile when they behold< Their infants quartered with the hands of war, All pity choked with custom of fell deeds; And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice Cry "Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war, That this foul deed shall smell above the earth With carrion men, groaning for burial. What are the central ideas of this soliloquy? Select three options. Antony wants Caesar to forgive him for being nice to his conspirators. Antony is so upset about Caesar’s death that he can barely speak. Antony predicts that the land will be bloodied by men fighting men. Antony foresees mothers begging that their children be slain to spare them. Antony expects Caesar's ghost to seek retribution for the wrongs done.

Answers

Answer:

Antony wants Caesar to forgive him for being nice to his conspirators.

Antony predicts that the land will be bloodied by men fighting men.

Antony expects Caesar's ghost to seek retribution for the wrongs done.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Antony stands next to Caesar's body and asks him for forgiveness for talking politely to his murderers: "O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!"

Then he foresees that a curse will fall, that there will be a terribly violent civil war, and that people will become evil and cruel:

"A curse shall light upon the limbs of men; Domestic fury and fierce civil strife Shall cumber all the parts of Italy; Blood and destruction shall be so in use, And dreadful objects so familiar, That mothers shall but smile when they behold Their infants quartered with the hands of war, All pity choked with custom of fell deeds (...)"

Finally, he refers to Caesar's ghost, who will come back for revenge:

"And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice Cry "Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war (...)"

Explain how the story “We Wear The Mask” shows that it is difficult to understand other people? Evidence

I will give you 45 points please

Answers

Answer:

It is difficult to understand other people because they may hide their emotions to avoid being criticized or maltreated.

The poem says “We wear the mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes”

This shows their treatment in a white society.

The mask, which represents the false emotions a person might "wear" in front of other people, both smiles and lies—which indicates that the outward appearance of the mask does not match the true emotions that are beneath it. In other words, the people who wear this mask aren't smiling, and aren't happy.

Answers

Answer:

C. everyone is concerned about the legacies they will leave behind

The title of Tobias Wolff's short story "Mortals" most likely reflects the theme that every living thing is destined to die in the end.

What does word "mortals" refers?

The word "mortals" refers to human beings, who are mortal and have a finite lifespan.

The story explores the inevitability of death and how people cope with the knowledge that their time on earth is limited. It also touches on the fear of death and the importance of coming to terms with one's mortality. Therefore, option A, "every living thing is destined to die in the end," is the most likely theme reflected in the title.

his theme is reflected throughout the story as the main character, James, grapples with his own mortality and the inevitability of death. The title also highlights the universal nature of death, as it is something that all humans will experience regardless of their social status, fame, or wealth.

By using the title "Mortals," Wolff underscores the fragility of human life and the importance of living in the present moment.
