List all the character in The Illustrated Man.list them in order by chapter

You want all the characters in Ray Bradbury's classic short story collection, "The Illustrated Man?" That's a tall order. All of the eighteen stories in the book are unrelated, and so they all have their own, individual characters. This is not a novel with characters who appear again and again, chapter after chapter.

I went through some of the book for you and have listed a mere fraction of the characters found between the covers of this imaginative, science fiction compilation:

First, there is the the Illustrated Man himself, with tattoos all over his body.

Now here are some of the individual stories with their major characters:

"The Veldt":
George and Lydia Hadley, Wendy, Peter, David McClean

"Kaleidoscope":
Barkley, Woode, Stone, Hollis, Applegate, The Captain, Lespere

"The Other Foot":
Hattie Johnson

"The Highway":
Hernando

"The Man":
Captain Hart, Martin

"The Long Rain":
The Lieutenant, Simmons, Pickard

"The Rocket Man":
Doug, Dad, Mom

And on and on. I'm not sure what you want such an exhaustive list for, but I hope this helps to get you started.

What literary elements are used in "Sonny's Blues" including reference to connotative language?

Literary elements, a category of literary devices, are common to all literature. This is in contrast to literary techniques among which a writer chooses freely as they are not common to all literature. To illustrate this, a literary element is theme, another is conflict: These are common to all literature. A literary technique is onomatopoeia (words that sound like an action or happening, e.g., "the clap of thunder"), another is personification (endowing inanimate objects like hats or apples with human powers, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, etc): These are not common to all literature.

In the short story "Sonny's Blues" James Baldwin employs, along with other ones, the structural elements of theme, point of view, setting, narrator, protagonist, dynamic character, Man versus Society conflict, conflict, plot, foreshadowing, suspense, complication, crisis, climax, resolution. Connotative language is part of the diction the writer chooses. In "Sonny's Blues," Baldwin chooses middle (daily talking style of educated people) and low diction (uses colloquialisms, idiomatic phrases, slang, contractions, and may contain grammar and vocabulary and syntax errors). Connotative language is emotional language that elicits an emotional response from the reader, like in the resolution of the story in which the narrator and the reader both come to see that Sonny rises above his suffering--if only for a while--through the music he plays.

An empty 240 kg elevator accelerates upward at 1.4 m/s^2. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.What is the tension in the cable that lifts the...

Tension in the cable is equal to the force due to action of acceleration due to gravity plus the force for accelerating the elevator further by 1.4 m/s.


Thus tension in cable =


(Mass of elevator)*(accelaration due to gravity + upward accelaeartion of elevator)


= 240*(9.8 + 1.4) = 240*11.2 = 2688 N


Answer: Tension in cable is 2688 N

What is the falling action and rising action of "The Most Dangerous Game"?i want to know plot of the story

The rising action begins with Rainsford's realization that Zaroff will hunt him.  It continues all through the hunt and ends when Zaroff believes Rainsford has fallen to his death off the cliff.  Rainford's supposed death is definitely the turning point in the story; some would argue it's also the climax.  Others will say Rainford's surprising Zaroff back at his chateau is the climax, but I tend to think it is the resolution.


In any case, the falling action is rather implicit and time-compressed.  We must deduce that it includes Rainsford swimming back to the chateau in order to hide behind the curtain.  Zaroff must hike back there too.  The falling action also includes the dialogue between the two before they fight.  That would make the fight, then, the resolution (although we flash forward through it).  And the last sentence, about Rainsford never sleeping better, is the denoument.


Good luck on your plot diagram...

Considering Belicia's experiences in the Dominican Republic why does she treat Lola the way she does in The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao?


A first lesson in the fragility of love and the preternatural cowardice of men. And out of this disillusionment and turmoil sprang Beli's first adult oath, one that would follow her into adulthood, to the States and beyond. I will not serve.  Never again would she follow any lead other than her own. Not the rector's, not the nuns', not La Inca's, not her poor dead parents'. Only me, she whispered. Me.



Beli has been conditioned to treat women the way she has been treated: selfishly, possessively, willfully.  She is a victim of the sexism of a patriarchal society that glorifies machismo and treats women as sex objects.  Instead of admitting this, Beli lashes out at Lola, and when the outspoken Lola gives it right back, the two enter into a vortex of spiraling misdirected, unconscious anger.


In the DR, Beli has been beaten, raped, and cursed by love, so why love a headstrong girl who is a combination of her and La Inca?  This is the fuku, passed on to her in the DR by Trujillo and his men.  She passes it along to Lola and Oscar, her children.


Beli is also ashamed of her blackness.  I believe this is the other half of the curse.  She never accepts how much darker she is than other Dominicans.  Trujillo bleached his skin and killed hundreds of thousands of dark-skinned Haitians, so Beli has bought into Trujillo's color code.  This is why she wills her body to develop such large breasts: a kind of superpower she uses to compensate for her racial insecurities.


When Lola develops her own superpower rear-end, the two go to battle.  Beli almost wants Lola to run away, to suffer the way she has suffered.  This is why she sends her to the DR to live with La Inca.

What event in Act 3 caused the most problems for Romeo and Juliet? Why?

To me, the major event of Act III comes when Romeo kills Tybalt.  This is the turning point in the play and it will cause Romeo and Juliet to die.


After Romeo kills Tybalt, the Prince banishes him from the city.  Also, since Romeo has just killed Juliet's cousin, he and Juliet can't reveal that they are married.


Because of these things, Juliet has to pretend that she's going to go through with marrying Paris.  Then she has to agree to Friar Lawrence's plan to avoid marrying Paris.


Because Romeo is out of the city, Friar Lawrence can't tell him the plan for making it look like Juliet is dead.  Since Romeo think she's dead, he kills himself and she kills herself when she sees he's dead.


So Romeo killing Tybalt in Act III causes all these tragic events to occur.

i need the a sumeery of the history of egypt can you guys please help me =Dbase in the the history ok kind tut

Ancient Egypt is a very big topic. Broadly speaking, the history of Ancient Egypt is divided into Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom. There are over 30 dynasties and 300 pharaohs. Important pharaohs for the Old Kingdom would be Menes (who is credited with unifying all of the cities up and down the Nile valley into one nation) and Cheops (also known as Khufu) would built the great pyramids. At the end of the Old Kingdom, Egyptian civil government decayed, there were rebellious nobles and a period of anarchy called the First Intermediate Period followed. This was ended when the ruler of the city of Thebes once again unified the Nile and began the period known as the Middle Kingdom. After several centuries, the Middle Kingdom pharaohs lost control again, at least partially due to attacks on the delta region by foreigners known as the Hyksos. The New Kingdom began when the rulers of the city of Thebes once again unified the valley. Important New Kingdom rulers are Ahmose (who drove out the Hyksos), Thutmose III (who led military expeditions that conquered Egypt's neighbors), Hatshepsut (the only woman to rule as Pharaoh).


Most intriguing ruler of the New Kingdom is Pharaoh Akhnaton, the heretic Pharoah, who founded a new religion devoted to the worship of the Aton or the sun disk. Ra had been the leading god in the Old Kingdom, and Amun, god of Thebes was worhipped in the Middle & New Kingdom. Akhnaton was a monotheist. His reforms did not survive his death. Egypt once again collapsed, then was overrun by the Assyrians, the Babylonians, briefly revived, then conquered by Alexander the Great, whose general Ptolemy and his descendants then ruled until Egypt was absorbed into the Roman Empire on the death of Cleopatra soon after the death of Julius Caesar.
