In this lesson, you have studied how the historical events of Matthew Arnold’s time produced alienation and uncertainty for many members of society. Do additional research by visiting reliable websites such as Victorianweb. org. Then, in 3–5 sentences, describe the historical events and the climate of alienation and uncertainty that caused Arnold to write "Dover Beach."

Answer and Explanation:

Arnold lived in the Victorian era roughly in England and it was said to be the period of the industrial revolution and immense technological advancement as well as social change in which Arnold was writing right on the brink between the old stable England and the new modern faced paced industrial England which was quickly expanding.

'Dover Beach' is about the uncertainty of this period of change in which he talks about the alienation which comes from the new era, where before the industrial revolution people worked together and things happened at a slower pace, whereas with the industrial revolution machines began taking the jobs of people, and things were being mass produced and in the work force there really wasn't much unity.

Arnold and much of England was therefore terrified by this new England and the uncertainty that arose from the great changes that were happening.

i can you there : )

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
