CASSIUS. Why, man, [Caesar] doth bestride the narrow world
Like a colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

–The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,
William Shakespeare

b

explanation:

thinking about things and referring to books instead of acting on superstition and gossip.

the correct answer is c: in the middle

"mirror" is a poem written by silvia plath in 1961, two years before she committed suicide, and it explores the life of a woman as an object reflected within it suggesting, therefore, a change in gender roles in america.

there has been fourth big waves regarding feminism and gender equality throughout the history of america. the first wave began in 1848 when the first women's rights convention was held at the wesleyan chapel in seneca falls, new york. the second wave began in the early 1960s when the poem "mirror" was written. in this second movement, feminists fought against sex discrimination and extended the rights of women. the third wave began during the early 1990s when feminists wanted to question, reclaim, and redefine the ideas, words, and media that have transmitted ideas about gender, gender roles, womanhood, and beauty, among other things. the fourth wave refers to a resurgence of interest in feminism that began around 2012 and it is associated with the use of social media. the focus of this fourth wave is to get justice for women and to express opposition to sexual harassment and violence against women.

cornelia

explanation:

we don't know all that much about cornelia aside from what granny tells us about her, along with what we can gather from her few lines of dialogue. it's hard to picture her, too, since we're not given any details about her mannerisms or what she looks like. she could be dressed like a circus clown, for all we know.

even though we wouldn't recognize cornelia if we ran into her on the street, we can't but feel a lot of sympathy for this character. first of all, she's super nice and granny pretty much treats her like dirt. she's constantly asking granny if she needs anything and granny usually responds by snapping at her. here's a typical exchange:

"i thought you might want something."

"i do. i want a lot of things. first off, go away and don't whisper." (14-15)
