the tipping point part a: what is the authors purpose in this text
Answer: Gladwell's main purpose for writing this novel is to inform the general public about memetics and its related concepts through relatable anecdotes and pop cultural references in order to further illustrate this complex theory to an average reader.
Explanation: This is what Gladwell calls a tipping point. As the name of the book implies, tipping points are Gladwell's focus. If we accept his premise that social phenomena act as epidemics, then studying when the tipping point in the epidemic occurs seems to be the most illustrative way to understand the epidemic. The main idea or central idea in "The Tipping Point" is similarities between social phenomena and diseases show the significance small changes can have on overall social trends.

What is the rhythm and poetic meter(as in like lambic pentameter or trochaic tetrameter, and more) to these lines:
The weird sisters, hand in hand,
Posters of the sea and land,
Thus do go about, about:
Thrice to thine and thrice to mine
And thrice again, to make up nine.
Peace! the charm's wound up.
Answer:
bro please give me BRAINLIEST ANSWER
Explanation:
spondees, anapests and dactyls. In this document the stressed syllables are marked in boldface type rather than the tradition al "/" and "x." Each unit of rhythm is called a "foot" of poetry.
The meters with two-syllable feet are
IAMBIC (x /) : That time of year thou mayst in me behold
TROCHAIC (/ x): Tell me not in mournful numbers
SPONDAIC (/ /): Break, break, break/ On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
Meters with three-syllable feet are
ANAPESTIC (x x /): And the sound of a voice that is still
DACTYLIC (/ x x): This is the forest primeval, the murmuring pines and the hemlock (a trochee replaces the final dactyl)
Each line of a poem contains a certain number of feet of iambs, trochees, spondees, dactyls or anapests. A line of one foot is a monometer, 2 feet is a dimeter, and so on--trimeter (3), tetrameter (4), pentameter (5), hexameter (6), heptameter (7), and o ctameter (8). The number of syllables in a line varies therefore according to the meter. A good example of trochaic monometer, for example, is this poem entitled "Fleas":
Adam
Had'em.

elevate the significance of poets and artists
Look at a meeting-house, or a court-house, or a jail, or a shop, or a dwelling-house, and say what that thing really is before a true gaze, and they would all go to pieces in your account of them. Men esteem truth remote, in the outskirts of the system, behind the farthest star, before Adam and after the last man. In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment, and will never be more divine in the lapse of all the ages. And we are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us. The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. Let us spend our lives in conceiving then. The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design but some of his posterity at least could accomplish it.
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito’s wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and fast, or break fast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry—determined to make a day of it. Why should we knock under and go with the stream? Let us not be upset and overwhelmed in that terrible rapid and whirlpool called a dinner, situated in the meridian shallows. Weather this danger and you are safe, for the rest of the way is down hill. With unrelaxed nerves, with morning vigor, sail by it, looking another way, tied to the mast like Ulysses. If the engine whistles, let it whistle till it is hoarse for its pains. If the bell rings, why should we run? We will consider what kind of music they are like. Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud and slush of opinion, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance, that alluvion which covers the globe, through Paris and London, through New York and Boston and Concord, through Church and State, through poetry and philosophy and religion, till we come to a hard bottom and rocks in place, which we can call reality, and say, This is, and no mistake; and then begin, having a point d'appui, below freshet and frost and fire, a place where you might found a wall or a state, or set a lamp-post safely, or perhaps a gauge, not a Nilometer, but a Realometer, that future ages might know how deep a freshet of shams and appearances had gathered from time to time. If you stand right fronting and face to face to a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on both its surfaces, as if it were a cimeter, and feel its sweet edge dividing you through the heart and marrow, and so you will happily conclude your mortal career. Be it life or death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business.
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors I judge; and here I will begin to mine.

1. The author includes the information about President Kennedy's idea and 8 points
NASA to show that- *
A. something seemingly impossible can become a reality
B. technological advancements are needed in order to change our world
C. governments typically support the development of new technology
D. great leaders have a remarkable ability to accomplish their goals
Answer:
A. something seemingly impossible can become a reality
Explanation:
The author of the text starts with the story about how President Kennedy had a dream for the US to explore space and land a man on the moon. He says that, at the time, this goal was thought to be impossible and compared to science fiction – meaning it could only be imagined in the fantasy narrative.
Yet, the impossible became the reality when Apollo 11 landed on the surface of the moon in 1969. The author tells this to explain to us how things that one day might seem unachievable and fantasy can become reality, and prove us with the real historical evidence.

Athenians suffered further hardship [from the plague] owing to the crowding into the city of people from the country districts; and this affected the new arrivals especially. For since no houses were available for them, and they had to live in huts that were stifling in the hot season, they perished in wild disorder. Bodies of dying men lay one upon another and half-dead people rolled about in the streets and, in their longing for water, near all the fountains. The temples, too, in which they had quartered themselves were full of the corpses of those who had died in them; for the calamity which weighed upon them was so overpowering that men, not knowing what was to become of them, became careless of all law. . . .” —Thucydides, as quoted in Eyewitness to History Why did new arrivals to Athens live in huts? a.

Two years later his son was accused of murder, but the body wasn't found. Next spring came and the father went out to dig. He couldn't Finnish it. He called his son and say he couldn't do the garden thing, because of his age. The son said don't dig there that's where he hid the bodies.

First topic of physical strength
Answer:
This question is incomplete. Anyway, I will give you an explanation on the most important topics about physical strength.
Explanation:
Physical or muscular strength can be defined as the ability of a muscle to develop tension against a load in a single effort during contraction.
Strength is an essential component for the performance of any human being and its formal development cannot be forgotten in the preparation of athletes.
When defining force, we distinguish two different concepts: force as a physical magnitude and force as a presupposition for the execution of a sporting movement (Harre, 1994). From the perspective of physics, muscle strength would be the ability of the musculature to accelerate or deform a body, keep it immobile or slow down its movement.
In the field of sport, there are as many definitions of force as there are authors. González-Badillo (1995), defines force as the ability to produce tension in the muscles when activated, or as it is commonly understood, when contracting.
For Verkhoshansky (1999), force is the product of a muscular action initiated and synchronized by electrical processes in the nervous system. Force is the ability of a muscle group to generate force under specific conditions.
Kuznetsov (1989), Ehlenz (1990), Manno (1991), Harre and Hauptmann (1994) and Zatsiorsky (1995) define it as the ability to overcome or oppose external resistance through muscular tension.
Knutggen and Kraemer (1987) define force as the maximum tension manifested by the muscle or muscle group at a given speed.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!!!!!
Answer:
The major cause of the end of Reconstruction was a result of the compromise that both the Democrats and Republicans decided on which was based on the fact that if Hayes is elected, that the federal troops from the South would be withdrawn.
An evidence from the text supports my above answer: The compromise stated that if Hayes were elected, he would withdraw federal troops from the South, effectively ending Reconstruction.
Explanation:
The text reveals that the election of 1876 was to the favor of Hayes. Rutherford Hayes was the Republican nominee that won the election but the Democrats rejected the outcome of the election. The both parties came to a compromise that if Hayes is elected, he would withdraw federal troops from South which will lead to the end of Reconstruction. The Democrats agreement to the compromise was to enable power to return to the South which is the end of Reconstruction.
The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. He had been in the war in Libya and wore two wound-stripes. He said that if the thing went well he would see that I was decorated. I said I hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. I asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. I went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. The drivers were pleased with it and I left them there.
