Why did the Egyptians spend so much time preparing for death.
The ancient Egyptians believed that when they died their spiritual body would continue to exist in an afterlife very similar to their living world. However, entry into this afterlife was not guaranteed. The dead had to negotiate a dangerous underworld journey and face the final judgment before they were granted access. If successful, they were required to provide eternal sustenance for their spirit. These things could be achieved if proper preparations were made during a person’s lifetime.

And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet.
On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street.
What is the purpose of the author’s description of Della’s hair and clothing?
The author is emphasizing Della’s poverty as she goes out to buy a gift for Jim.

In these cases, the MLA manual and other style manuals establish a short quotation (maximum 3 lines) can be part of the text but it always needs to be enclosed by quotation marks. On the other hand, quotations longer than this, need to start in a new line, be indented and without quotation marks.

1 I ain't no valedictorian. I'll give you that. But I'm certainly not the loser my step-father Johnnie likes to think I am, either. Mr. oh-so-famous local Johnnie Pipehead of "Johnnie on the Spot Plumbing." (Real clever name, huh?) Just because he only took the requisite twelve years to make it through school and graduate from his alma mater, and I took slightly longer, that doesn't make me a loser. So what if I took "the road less traveled by" and added a one-year, scenic detour to my journey--thanks to Algebra, Physical Science, and well...Latin. Did I mention Chemistry? Let's just say I liked Latin but Latin didn't much care for me. Just because I took thirteen years in all to get out of Melancholy High with a diploma doesn't make me some loser. Being nothing at all, now THAT would make me a loser.
2 I am something. But what I am, and what I'll be, are two countries at war at present. Battles, I've had them. Many battles. Literal ones...figurative ones...too many. Figurative language...see there? At least I did learn a few somethings in Mr. J's English class.
3 I could've been the valedictorian. Of somewhere. Of some school that had a bunch of unmotivated kids like me. Then, maybe I would have gone to those Physical Science study halls. Maybe I would have actually done my homework in Mr. Pugnacious' class. Real name, Pugliese. Wrestling coach. Don't you just love that moniker? For a wrestling coach...Pugnacious. Funny stuff, huh? Made that up. It stuck. Guy's got a bulldog face but a little tail-wagging personality. Had everything but the panting. And the drool. Too much caffeine I suppose. Too happy. Loved his math, that Pugnacious.
4 Yeah, I could've been the valedictorian somewhere. I would've shown everyone how determined I can truly be. As it turned out, I showed 'em anyway. Counselors were shown that I didn't have to graduate with my class, like they so earnestly wished for me to. I showed the teachers who said, "Conrad, your sophomore year will be two of the best years of your life, son." My retorts were always something cleverly snide as well, like: "Yeah, but half the sophomores around here don't even know how to spell s-o-p-h-o-m-o-r-e...they leave out the 'o' on all their cheesy, self-absorbed class election posters, and they certainly don't have a clue that it's a combination of two latinaic roots, 'sopho' and 'more,' meaning 'wise fool.' At least I'm a fool with a bit of wisdom."
5 I could've impressed Mr. Johhnie come-lately, my Mom's most recent convenience among a revolving door of Pops rejects. Yeah, Mr. Johnnie would've loved me being the valedictorian, giving that big speech, the one Angel Ramirez so properly gave tonight...'Members of the School Board, Mr. Wilson, Parents, Faculty and Students, blah, blah, yuck, blah, blah, blah.' I could've given my version instead, only to have Mr. Johnnie Joint-Compound listen, then sending me off to some trade school on a full ride to cut pipe and be his apprentice who wipes his nose and kisses his bu-- and goes on cigarette or burger runs or grabs some rusty tool from the truck. Not gonna fight that part of the war.
6 I was the valedictorian tonight. I do know what I'm going to be. I have graduated from Meloncamp High School about 115th out of class of 126. Thing is, I've seen the fear in the eyes of four score and seven more of those classmates of mine that don't have a rat's chance of knowing what they are going to be. I do. I'm going to be a writer. Mr. J taught me more than English. He taught me what Pops taught me before his passing...love.
7 So here's my Valedictory: "Good evening, everyone. Thanks for coming out to sit on hard, uncomfortable stadium concrete on an unseasonably warm evening and wearing clothes and shoes you can't wait to get home to get out of. Here's what I have. Time is NOT money. Time is convenience. And when one gives up Time, he does pay for it. Yes. But if he trades Time for Opportunity, then he gets credit. So, in conclusion, Time is NOT money, but it CAN be spent. How will you spend yours?! Thank you, good night."
Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions:
27)
Based on the passage, who can you infer was a positive influence on the speaker?
A) Mr. J
B) Mr. Wilson
C) Mr. Pugnacious
D) Mr. Johnnie Joint Compound
28)
Based on the passage, what can you infer was the speaker's best subject in school?
A) Algebra
B) English
C) Chemistry
D) Physical Science
29)
Based on the first paragraph of the passage, what inference can you make about the speaker?
A) The speaker is lazy and did not excel in high school.
B) The speaker respects his step-father and regrets disappointing him.
C) The speaker is intelligent and clever, but did not excel in high school.
D) The speaker thinks he is a loser because he did not excel in high school.
27) The correct answer is A.
Mr. J is the speaker's English teacher. He has a strong and very positive infuence on him, since he now wants be a writer and states that Mr. J taught him more than just English, that he also taught him love.
28) The correct answer is A.
Based on the passage, we can infer that the speaker's best subject was English because it was something he was interested in and good at. It had inspired him to become a writer.
29) The correct answer is C.
The speaker has taken an extra year to finish High School, and explains that he had lots of trouble with several subjects, but within the passage we can see his cleverness through his usage of words.
When analyzing this passage, you can gather a few things. First, this is a student who is not very happy in school and cannot wait to graduate from it. Second, that he had good and bad experiences with different subjects. The good was English and the bad, almost all other subjects. Third, that he wants the reader to understand that he may have not been the best student of all, but that doesn´t mean he will be a failure in life or that being a straight-A student is necessary for success. What is most important about the passage is the last part, the valedictorian speech he would have given, because it teaches that what matters most is what you do with the time you have and how you take the chances that are given to you. Using, then, the passage, we can answer the following, thus:
27. The person who had a positive influence on Conrad, the speaker, was (A)Mr. J. This can be seen as first, it was one of the few subjects the boy liked and second he felt good at. Second, he says that his choice in life is to become a writer thanks to the experiences and the teachings that he received from his English teacher, Mr. J.
28. Conrad makes it clear that he was not good at any subjects, except for English, even though at some point he liked Latin. However, it seemed that even Latin did not like him and he did not do well. But he does mention that he remembers most of what was taught to him in English, when he says: "Figurative language... see there? At least I did learn a few somethings in Mr. J´s English class." Correct answe is B: English
29. The correct answer here is A: Speaker was lazy and did not excel in high school. This can be seen through two things Conrad says: the first, that it took him a year longer to finish what his step-father, or anyone else, did in less because he took ""the road less traveled by" and added a one-year, scenic detour..." and then he also mentions that this detour was due to his bad marks in subjects such as Algebra, Physical Science, Latin and Chemistry. The only area in which he was good, was English.

Answer:
The best answer from the options to the question: Which of these flaws does Ulysses reveal while leaving the island after blinding the Cyclops, would be: A desire for glory.
Explanation:
In the "Odyssey" by Homer, when Odysseus and his crew are finally able to escape the cyclops Polyphemus, instead of Odysseus simply counting his blessing for having escaped danger with his life, and that of his crewmembers, being content with the feat of having blinded such a terrifying and savage being as a cyclops, he also decides to insult him, despite the pleas from his men, and the only thing he feels remorse for is that the cyclops did not know his name, the name of the person who had accomplished something so huge. He used trickery, and artifices to best the cyclops, but Odysseus reveals his terrible pride, and desire for glory, when he feels sorry that such a giant will not know Odysseu´s name.

In this excerpt from porphyria lover by Robert browning which line suggests that the speaker doubts the depth of porphyria love
In Robert Browning's 'Porphyria's Lover', the speaker doubts Porphyria's love because he believes she is 'Too weak' to fully commit to him, as societal expectations and pride prevent her from truly surrendering her love.
In the poem Porphyria's Lover by Robert Browning, the line that suggests the speaker doubts the depth of Porphyria's love is,
'Too weak, for all her heart's endeavor,
To set its struggling passion free
From pride, and vainer ties dissever,
And give herself to me forever.'
These lines imply that the speaker perceives Porphyria as too constrained by societal expectations and her own pride to fully commit her love to him. The speaker's doubts are highlighted by the words 'Too weak' which underscore Porphyria's inability to break free from other bonds, leading him to question her love's depth.
Read the excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Nature. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will separate between him and what he touches. One might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime. Seen in the streets of cities, how great they are! If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile. The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence. Emerson claims that stars are similar to dreams by stating they are

My very last resistance broken, I let myself be pulled, pushed, and kicked, like a deaf and mute sleepwalker. I could see everything, grasp it and register it, but only later would I try to put in order all the sensations and all the memories. How stunned I was, for example, to discover another time outside time, a universe parallel to this one, a creation within Creation, with its own laws, customs structures, and language.
