In at least 200 words, choose another novel that you have read and give two examples of how understanding historical context was important. be sure to consider the contexts of historical events, social customs, and background of the author.

so just pic another book that u have read of your choice and it doesn't have to be long, but just let your imagination write about that book :)

Let's take, for example, Joseph Conrad's work – "Victory". Victory is a psychological novel that tells the story of a skeptical character, incapable of loving, named Axel Heyst. The novel uses a series of methods to give the reader the possibility to see a psychological interior battle lived by the protagonist and his impossibility to love, even when his partner shows proofs of loving him.

The book was published in 1915, and in the time there were no easy access to airplanes, so the characters used boats and ships to travel from island to island, since the plot happens in a place of lands surrounded by the sea. That means that the narrative happens also in the sea and with sailors.

Besides, the year 1915 was during the first World War, and this certainly reflected the atmosphere of the plot, which was very pessimistic, making even the protagonist a very skeptical character. Such a character was incapable of loving, even when his partner tried consistently to show him she cared.

Therefore, the World War atmosphere was transferred to the book, and "Victory" showed a pessimistic world, where some people were incapable of loving and only though about themselves.

which statement best expresses the theme of this short story the value of being confused

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
