Cave
by Gretchen Legler
One Sunday, I went to visit the ice caves. The caves are part of the Erebus Glacier tongue, a long spit of ancient ice, named after Mr. Erebus, an active
volcano in Antarctica that hovers over Ross Island and McMurdo station. The caves are about an hour drive from McMurdo by tracked vehicle. We went to
two caves. One of them was very easy to get into. You climbed a hill of snow, wiggled through a rather large opening, and slid down a little slope into a large
cavern-a cavern about as big as the average living room...
It was in the first cave that I had my moment. I had been lying on my back, taking notes, looking up into the crystals and into that blue that still amazes me-
blue so blue it is as if your eyes have broken and don't work.... The first time I'd been in the cave the person who took me there said that often people who go
down into crevasses are so overcome by the blue that it makes them cry. I remembered that as I lay there on my back, taking notes, trying to draw the
crystals that hung like blooms of flowers above me, trying to figure out where the blue began and where it ended.
1 cupped my hands around my eyes, so that all I saw was the blue, and as I stared, my heart began to beat faster and my breath started to come faster and
tears started to come to my eyes.
It was that blue that made me cry. That blue/violet that seems as if it is sucking you in, that makes you feel as if you are falling into it, that compels you
somehow to look into it, even though it blurs your vision and confuses you. It was that blue, so enigmatic, that for a moment you lose your balance in it. You don’t quite know if you are in the sky, or under water, or if for an instant you might be in both places at once. The blue is like a frosty, vague, and endlessly deep hole in your heart. It has no edges, just colors and depth. It is a color that is like some kind of yearning, some unfulfilled desire, or some constant extreme joy. It just burns there, burns violet, burns blue.
Select the correct answer.
Why does the author say she loses her balance in the blue crystals?
She is tired from her long drive to the ice caves.
She trips because she is focused on her notes.
She feels overwhelmed by the intense blue.
She falls over and lies on her back in the cave
OA. She is tired from her long drive to the ice caves
OB.she trips because she is focused on her notes
OC. She feels overwhelmed by the intense blue
OD. She falls over and lies on her back in the cave

What does the cave do?

What is the Mount Erebus Ice Cave?
Light passing through the ice gives an ice cave on Ross Island, Antarctica's Mount Erebus, an ethereal blue glow. The magma chamber of a volcano vents heat and gas, among other geothermal processes, to create along its edges are ice caves and fumaroles. Mount Erebus offers a peculiar lava lake.

How do you think Trujillo would feel about Fulgencio Batista? How would he feel about Fidel Castro?
Answers
Trujillo would likely have seen Batista, the former Cuban dictator, as a political ally, since both were right-wing authoritarian leaders who came to power through military coups.
Who is Fidel Castro?Rafael Trujillo, the former dictator of the Dominican Republic, would have had complex feelings towards both Fulgencio Batista and Fidel Castro, as both were key figures in the history of Cuba, which had close political and economic ties with the Dominican Republic.
They may have also shared a common anti-communist stance, as Batista was known for his repression of left-wing movements in Cuba. Trujillo may have seen Batista as a useful ally in maintaining regional stability and protecting their shared interests, such as trade and security.
Therefore, As for Fidel Castro, Trujillo would have seen him as a direct threat to his own authoritarian regime. Castro's socialist and revolutionary ideology was antithetical to Trujillo's right-wing, nationalist ideology.

"There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all." Explain the statement in terms of its literary period
Answers
The statement "There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all." can be explained in terms of the literary period known as Aestheticism.
Aestheticism, also referred to as the Aesthetic Movement, was a late 19th-century movement in literature and the arts that emphasized the importance of beauty and art for art's sake. The movement rejected the notion that art should have a moral or didactic purpose and instead believed that the value of art lies in its ability to create an emotional or sensory experience for the viewer or reader.
In this context, the statement suggests that a book should not be judged based on its moral content or the ethical values it promotes, but rather on its artistic merit and the quality of its writing. This perspective reflects the Aesthetic Movement's belief in the autonomy of art and its insistence that art should not be tied to moral or social issues.
To sum up, the statement embodies the principles of the Aesthetic Movement, which prioritized artistic beauty and quality of writing over moral content in literature.

President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that
they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our
government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland- and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our
purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.
Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your
direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war-after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history-you are homeward bound.
Some of you will see new family members for the first time-150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will
welcome you.
Which line from the text suggests the president believes the war effort has had successes but is not quite complete?
O Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed.
O Free nations will press on to victory.
Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home.

The text that suggests the president believes the war effort has had successes but is not quite complete is this: Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed.

Here, he points out that Al-Qaida is wounded but not destroyed. The objective of the battle was to completely exterminate this formation but so far, they have only been able to wound it but not completely destroy it.

Answers
The play "The Crucible" was written by Arthur Miller in the sense of artistic history.
What is meant by artistic history?
Even without examining the distinction Miller makes between himself and what he calls the “academic historian”, it can certainly be agreed that "The Crucible" is not history. To be sure, in 1692 people were killed in Salem, Massachusetts. Even to say that in 1692 people were persecuted in Salem is to add something to the events that took place; it is to introduce art.
An artist does not just write history. By interpreting it, an artist creates history. He gives it a form and a content. He is more interested in what is happening than what happened, which is hypothetical anyway.
Therefore, when Miller wrote, "This play is not history in the sense in which the word is used by the academic historian," he referred to the artistic meaning of the word.
