What are long term effects the Pearl Harbor attack had on Hawaii?

On December
7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, with the intention of destroying the
Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy. The attack succeeded in damaging or destroying almost
20 U.S. ships and over 300 planes. It also resulted in the death of 2,403 military personnel and
civilians. Approximately 1,000 people were wounded as well. On the next day, December 8, the
United States declared war on Japan. Soon afterwards, it declared war on Germany and Italy, and
the United States had officially entered the global conflict of World War II.


At the time of the United States entry into the war, Hawaii was
not a state but an American territory. The economy of Hawaii, which depended mainly on pineapple
and sugar exports, had suffered as a result of the Great Depression. Many people were
unemployed.

After the Pearl Harbor attack, martial law
was declared throughout Hawaii. Some authorities thought that it would be best to imprison
people of Japanese descent, but because they comprised about 37 percent of the population, it
was not a practical approach. Instead, severe martial law regulations applied to everyone, but
Japanese people were watched particularly carefully. Authorities froze wages and suspended union
activity, civilian courts, and civil liberties. Barbed wire went up on beaches and in other
areas. A complete blackout and curfew was imposed from sunset to dawn. Photography along the
coastline was forbidden. The authorities rationed food and severely restricted bars and the sale
of liquor.

On the other hand, the vast influx of
military personnel gave a boost to the Hawaiian economy. Construction increased and businesses
were established to cope with the demand for more shops, restaurants, and residences.


After the war, the economy slumped again as military personnel
went home. However, Hawaiian businesses were eventually able to recover as tourism to the
islands became more popular. Tourists now come from all over the world to visit Pearl Harbor,
which is one of Hawaii's most popular attractions. Its sites include the USS Arizona Memorial,
the Battleship Missouri Memorial, the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum, and the Pacific Aviation
Museum.

Why do you think the cat joined the re-education committee?

The cat
joins the Wild Comrades' Re-education committee. This committee, organized by , is dedicated to
taming wild animals, such as rats, rabbits, and sparrows, though it is not very successful. The
cat joins it in the hopes she can catch wild animals for a meal by gaining their trust. For
instance, she is seen one day trying to persuade some sparrows that since they are her comrades
now, they can come and safely perch on her paw. The sparrows, wisely, stay out of her way and
don't take her up on the offer.

The cat is not a helpful participant on . In
the old days, whenwould talk to the animals about the revolution to come, she didn't pay
attention, and she shirks doing work after the revolution occurs. She disappears during the day
and always has an excuse for why she was missing. However, the cat does her part during the
Battle of the Cowshed when she leaps on a cowman and sinks her claws into his neck, causing him
to scream.

The cat, an individualist and a loner, as cats tend to be,
represents the kind of person who in real life is never going to be able to become enthusiastic
about a revolution or the idea of working together in solidarity with others to achieve a
goal.

In A Christmas Carol, after the ghost takes Scrooge to the home of his nephew, what do you think Fred means when he says, "his offences carry their...

Scrooge is
terribly rude to Fred when his nephew wishes him a Merry Christmas on Christmas Eve and responds
with his signature "Bah! Humbug." He says to Fred:


"What right have you to be merry? What reason have you to be merry? Youre poor
enough."

Scrooge goes on the say to him
that:

"every idiot who goes about with €˜Merry
Christmas on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly
through his heart. He should!"

By "every
idiot," he means Fred. However, rather than taking offense at the idea his uncle thinks he
should be killed, Fred invites him to Christmas dinneran invitation Scrooge emphatically
rejects.

Talking about it the next day, Fred, who is much wiser than Scrooge,
waxes philosophical. He says that Scrooge's "offences"his rudeness, boorish
insensitivity, and heartlessness"carry their own punishment." In other words, Scrooge
pays the price for his outlook and behavior by being isolated, lonely, and disliked. He misses
out on most of life's simple pleasures, such as love, companionship, and even the chance to
share Christmas with his extended family. As far as Fred is concerned, Scrooge is more than paid
back for his offensive behavior.

why pygmalion is a Shavian play? George Bernard Shaw

A Shavian
play is any play that relates to or has the charateristics (humor, wit, style) of Gerorge .  You
can see how his name is a Latinized form of Shavian.  Since Shaw in fact wrote ,
it is a Shavian play.

Pygmalion is
characteristic of Shaw because it follows his typical style.  While he shunned the "Art for
arts sake" mantra of the time, his plays often do not end in the happy
boy wins girl structure that audiences are accustomed to.  Instead he wishes to challenge his
audience and force to them to question and confront current social issues: traditional gender
roles, issues with class and economics, etc. Since Pygmalion touches on
these standards, in the style of Shaw, it is a Shavian play.

How is the poem "The Tyger" a Romantic poem?

The
Romantics believed that they could find the
spirit of God through nature. They believed this
because they thought (at
least many of them did) that since God created the natural world, this
world
was infused with traces of his divinity. They often depicted nature as a place of
solace
to the soul and thought of it as a space of purity, where one could
escape the corruptions of
the city. They also moved away from rationalism and
found themselves attracted to the
mysterious.

Because
Blake, a Romantic, believed that nature was an expression
of the divine, he
was compelled to question why God created such a frightening and predatory

beast as a tiger. A tiger is a beautiful creature, but it doesn't align with Christian
concepts
of God as a "lamb" in the form of Jesus or of nature as a gentle
place filled with
soothing flowers, butterflies, and babbling
brooks.

The tiger represents to
Blake the mystery of the
sublime. In the sublime, the Romantics found the awe and terror of God
made
manifest. Usually, Romantics found the thrill of the sublime in beautiful but
frightening
landscapes, such as mountaintops or the edges of cliffs, but
here, Blake finds it in the tiger.
In his poem, Blake ponders the sublime
mystery of why God created such a fearsome
creature.
