The play is set only shortly before the Titanic
sank. Why did Priestley choose this moment for
his play to be set?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Brainlest, I spent hours writting this

Explanation:

An Inspector Calls was set in 1912 which was near the end of what the Edwardians called a 'Golden Age', where technological advancements were being made and the middle classes were thriving. It is also set at this time as it is important to the plot in several ways: - Eva Smith was involved in the strikes. These strikes really happened in Britain around 1910 where workers went on strike to protest against the low pay they were receiving in the factories. - The class system was very much still in effect. The Birlings are middle class - not born into money, but rich due to their business ventures. Mrs Birling and the Crofts are upeer class - they were born into rich established families. The lower or working class is represented by Eva Smith. You can see this in the play where Sheila exerts her powers in the shop to have Eva sacked, where Gerald sets Daisy up in a flat as his mistress, where Eric uses Eva for sex, and where Mrs Birling refuses to help the pregnant Eva because she has dared to use the name 'Mrs Birling' herself. - The play is actually set in late March or early April 1912 because it mentions the upcoming maiden voyage of the 'unsinkable' Titanic (in Birlings speech in Act One). As you probably know, the Titanic sank on its first voyage. This undermines this idea of technological advancement that the Edwardians were so proud of. It also brought to the forefront the issue of class division as most of the surviving passengers were first class as they were put on the lifeboats before those travelling in steerage - lower class. - Also in Birling's speech he mentions the threat of war, which he disregards as ridiculous. Of course, not long after, in 1914 WW1 began, followed shortly by WW2. These wars completely changed Britain, and of course, Priestley's audience in 1946 when the play was first performed, would be all too aware of this dramatic irony. (Dramatic Irony = where the audience know something that the characters on stage do not) The setting of the play in 1912 should be contrasted with the plays performance in 1946. Would the fate of Eva Smith have been any different if this had all happened in 1946 instead of 1912?

Answer 2

There are several explanations for J.B. Priestley's decision to have his play, An Inspector Calls, take place just before the Titanic went down.

The Titanic stood for power and luxury: The ship was the biggest and most opulent ocean liner ever built, and it served as a representation of the riches and power of the affluent class.

Priestley was able to emphasize the contrast between the lifestyles of the wealthy and the lives of the poor by putting his play on the eve of the Titanic's sinking.

The tragedy of the Titanic: The sinking was a significant news story that significantly influenced public opinion. Priestley was able to appeal to the public's sense of loss and grief by basing his play on the events following the sinking of the Titanic.

The Titanic's demise served as a stark reminder of how short life is: Although it was believed that the ship couldn't sink, an iceberg struck it, and it sank in less than three hours. The sinking served as a lesson that nothing can be predicted in life. Priestley was able to get his audience to reflect on the value of savoring every day by situating his play in the wake of the Titanic's sinking. sinking was felt by people all across the world. On April 15, 1912, the ship sank, claiming the lives of nearly 1,500 people.

Aside from these factors, Priestley might have also done so because Britain was through a period of significant social and political change at the time his play was set, just before the Titanic fell. The nation was dealing with a lot of difficulties as the First World War drew near. Priestley was able to explore the issues of social injustice, class struggle, and the significance of social responsibility by putting his play in this era.

Consider the imagery used to describe "she" or "her." How do these images contribute to the overall meaning of the poem? Poem: America by Claude McKay

Answers

Answer:

It adds to the idea of "freedom" and how America fought and flourished, just like women did.

Explanation:

America has always been referred to as "her" or "she." I've never given much thought to it, but I think there might be a reason.

Women used to have very limited rights. Women had to fight for things like voting rights, and the rights to work jobs that previously only men could.

By referring to America as a "she," Claude McKay refers to how women fought to gain their rights, how they flourished.

America fought to gain independence, and they flourished by being a country that accepted all races.

Just like women, America fought and flourished.

This is just my thinking.

1. The young lady said to the mother, 'Why has your daughter not eaten anything?"(change into indirect)​

Answers

Answer: The young lady asked the mother why her daughter had not eaten anything.

Explanation:

When using indirect speech, the event in question is described as though someone else is reporting what happened without any quotes. This is in opposition to Direct speech where quotes are needed.

For instance: Jane asked Parrain, ''Are you answering questions on Brainly?''. This is direct speech. The indirect version would be: Jane asked Parrain if he/she was answering questions on Brainly.

The indirect version of the above would therefore be: ''The young lady asked the mother why her daughter had not eaten anything.''

I feel Like if you decide to have a sexual relationship you should be trusting in your partner and know significant things about them. I Think people should identify how ever they wan't, there is nothing wrong with loving as you want.

2. I think intimate relationships were easier for my grandparents because people were a little more different than they are now in today's generation, I feel like in different cultures it is easier because of things like arranged marriages. In today's society we might feel pressured into compromising our beliefs like staying sexually abstinent until marriage because we can feel as though we are missing out, or we need to do what others are doing. We can also feel pressured when someone in a relationship has already chosen to have a sexual relationship. But on the other hand we can feel pressured not to have sexual relationships for things like religion, family influence, friendships, and others.

A volcano is a term to refer to a geological structure through which magma emerges, which is divided into lava and gases from the interior of the Earth.

The rise of magma is known as an eruption, which can vary in intensity, duration and frequency, from gentle lava flows to extremely destructive explosions.

Sometimes volcanoes take on a conical shape due to the accumulation of material from previous eruptions. At the summit is its crater or caldera.

The magma released by volcanoes is deposited on the Earth's crust and forms new layers. Additionally, when an eruption occurs, large rocks are thrown.
