600 word essay about jack from the lord of the files
Explanation:
In the 1990 film adaptation, Jack is portrayed by Chris Furrh. He is sixteen, two years older than Ralph, and has blond hair. Like all the other boys in this version of the story, Jack is American and attends an unnamed American military boarding school. He wears the rank insignia for cadet first lieutenant, making him the third-ranked cadet on the island, after Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Ralph and Cadet Captain Roger.
Jack in this version speaks faster than his British counterpart in the 1963 film does, and more often. He swears violently, more than anyone else in the film. He is vain, arrogant, and immature, but as he becomes leader of the Hunters and then ousts Ralph as the Chief, he quickly adopts a brutal and authoritarian style of leadership. In this version of the story, several boys leave with Jack immediately when he declares he will form his own camp. Jack relies on Roger throughout the film as a right-hand-man and enforcer.
Jack is visibly shocked when Roger kills Piggy, but does nothing about it. Instead, he drives Ralph away and soon sets most of the island on fire in an effort to force Ralph out of hiding. When U.S. Marines land just as the boys are about to kill Ralph, Jack, like the others, is completely surprised and unsure of what to do.
Jack's last name is never said in the 1990 film, or is his cadet rank actually referred to. He quickly dispenses with his uniform and any formalities of military rank, in any case, and all the boys simply refer to and address him as "Jack", or as "Chief" once he has overthrown Ralph and taken charge as the new leader.
Answer:
LORD OF THE FLIES – CHARACTER ESSAY ON JACK
Choose a novel with a character who you find fascinating. With reference to the text show how the writer made the character fascinating.
William Golding’s The Lord of the Flies is a novel in which Jack is a fascinating character. In the book a group of boys are stranded on a desert island and must work out how to survive. Golding makes Jack a fascinating character as he makes him change from a darling little boy into a terrifying and reckless young man. We can explore how this change takes place.
At the start of the book Jack is clearly still confined by society’s rules and still wants to be seen as good. We know this as in the scene where he catches a pig he struggles to kill it and we’re told ““he hadn’t because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh”. Here, the word choice of ‘enormity’ tells us that Jack finds killing the pig a big deal, he struggles to murder a living thing as he’s never done this before. The description of the knife ‘descending’ reinforces this as even though the knife is traveling a short distance to Jack it feels like an eternity as he tries to commit a big act of killing. The words ‘living flesh’ shows Jack still empathises with the pig and doesn’t want to kill it. At this point it is clear Jack still wants to follow normal rules and thinks that hurting things is wrong.
Jack begins to change slowly and develops a crazy and violent side. We see this when his hunting job starts to take over his mind and we are told Jack had a “compulsion to track down and kill things that was swallowing him up”. The word ‘compulsion’ suggests that this feeling is not something Jack has any control over; it is almost instinctive for him or a crazy addiction. This is reinforced by the idea that this feeling was ‘swallowing’ him up, it was a feeling or thought that was taking over his life and killing a pig became the only thing he could think about. There’s a possibility that Jack became so fixated as he felt like a failure and less masculine for failing to kill the pig in the first place and now wants to kill one to prove he is a man. This makes Jack fascinating as it is difficult to understand how someone could want to kill something, or be so fixated on that, unless they were going crazy in some way.

The bolded words are "dreary", and "weary".
Read the following passage from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.” Which sound device is expressed by the bolded words?
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered,
weak and weary …
A. alliteration
B. rhythm
C. refrain
D. rhyme
Answer:
D. Rhyme
Explanation:
Since the bolded words are dreary and weary it seems like the best fit.
Answer:
D. rhyme
Explanation:
Rhyme
As you know, words that rhyme end with a similar sound. Rhyme and time, beat and heat, and friends and trends are all examples of rhyming words.
“Mary Had a Little Lamb” has only two rhyming words. Both come at the end of a line of verse.
As in rap lyrics, the use of rhyming in lyric poetry can be very elaborate. As you will see in “The Raven,” rhyming words can come at the end of lines of verse (end rhyme), or they can be located within one or more lines of verse (internal rhyme).
This time as you read “The Raven,” pay particular attention to the rhyming words. How many sets of rhymes does Poe use? Where are the rhymes within the poem?
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping—rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more."
Look at the words in bold. Did you find all three rhyming sets?
“dreary” and “weary”
“lore,” “door,” and “more”
“napping,” “tapping,” and “rapping”
Remember: rhyming can occur at the end of lines, such as with the rhyming set “lore, door, more.” They can also be internal rhymes that occur within the sentence structure, such as “dreary” and “weary,” and “napping,” “tapping,” and “rapping.”
Rhyming is another sound device that gives lyric poetry its musical quality.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping—rapping at my chamber door.

Only this and nothing more."
Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt
By Edgar Allan Poe
The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty. The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. Feeble gleams of encrimsoned light made their way through the trellised panes, and served to render sufficiently distinct the more prominent objects around; the eye, however, struggled in vain to reach the remoter angles of the chamber, or the recesses of the vaulted and fretted ceiling. Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene. I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow. An air of stern, deep, and irredeemable gloom hung over and pervaded all.
Which of the following statements is most likely true about the narrator? (5 points)
He feels glad to be where he is.
He wants to move into this house.
He feels sad looking at this room.
He is angry with someone who lives here.
Answer:
He feels sad looking at this room
Answer:
He feels sad looking at this room
Explanation:
What this is, is melancholy which is a form of sadness for no apparent reason. In the text it doesn't say it was his old room, so then as we can see he has no reason.

Explanation:
the first term of A.P is 5 and the last term is 45 and the sum of all term is 400. find the number of terms and the Common difference.
help me plz
Answer:
[tex]n =16[/tex] --- Number of terms
[tex]d = \frac{8}{3}[/tex] --- Common difference
Explanation:
Given
[tex]a = 5[/tex] --- first term
[tex]T_n = 45[/tex]
[tex]S_n = 400[/tex]
Required
Determine the number of terms (n) and the common difference (d)
The sum of n terms of an AP is:
[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a + T_n)[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]400 = \frac{n}{2}(5 + 45)[/tex]
[tex]400 = \frac{n}{2} * 50[/tex]
[tex]400 = n * 25[/tex]
Divide both sides by 25
[tex]16 = n[/tex]
[tex]n =16[/tex]
The nth term of an AP is:
[tex]T_n = a + (n - 1)d[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]45 = 5 + (16 - 1) * d[/tex]
[tex]45 = 5 + 15 * d[/tex]
Subtract 5 from both sides
[tex]45 - 5= 5 - 5 + 15 * d[/tex]
[tex]40= 15 * d[/tex]
Divide both sides by 15
[tex]\frac{40}{15} = d[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8}{3} = d[/tex]
[tex]d = \frac{8}{3}[/tex]

I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Explanation:
In "Animal Farm", by George Orwell, several changes occurred in the farm in Chapter 8. The sixth commandment had changed with the addition of two words that justified the killing of animals if there was a good reason behind it. When Napoleon drank excess alcohol, he added two words to the fifth commandment to accommodate his indulgence in excess alcohol.
The slangs of the pigeons were changed accordingly as Napoleon changed his enemies. Also, a new dog was assigned to taste Napoleon's food to ensure that it was not poisoned.
