What are the ideals outlined by Old Major that should occur after the rebellion?

The ideals Old Major establishes are put into words and hung on the barn wall for all to see (even though, for the most part, only the pigs can read--other animals learn to read a little). "No animals shall kill any other animal" is perhaps the most important ideal of Old Major, as is "All animals are equal." Old Major says, too, that older animals should be able to retire with dignity, and that the animals should be able to have ownership over the products of their labor rather than man own the food after the animals produce it; this will guarantee both freedom and wealth: "Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labor would be our own. Almost over night we ould become rich and free."

Why is Measure for Measure a problem play? And what are specific examples throughout?

In Shakespeare studies, the term problem plays normally refers to three plays that Shakespears wrote between the late 1590s and the early 1600s,. The term was coined by FS Boas in Shakespeare and his Predecessors (1896), who lists the first three plays and adds that "Hamlet, with its tragic close, is the connecting-link between the problem-plays and the tragedies in the stricter sense." The term can refer to the subject matter of the play, or to a classification "problem" with the plays themselves.

The problem plays, Measure for Measure, All’s Well and Troilus and Cressida are characterised by their complex and ambiguous tone, which shifts violently between dark, psychological drama and more straightforward comic material. The three plays are also referred to as the dark comedies, since despite ending on a generally happy note for the characters concerned, the darker, more profound issues raised cannot be fully resolved or ignored.

Many critics have suggested that this sequence of plays marked a l turning point for Shakespeare, during which he lost interest in the romantic comedies he had specialized in and turned towards the darker world of the tragedies.

Though originally classed as a "Shakespeare comedy", the resolution of Measure for Measure lacks the celebratory tone of the final scenes of, say, Much Ado About Nothing. Watching this play, we feel that Shakespeare cannot be on the side of this arbitrary, even tyrannical, ruler.

Possibly the “problem plays” are only problematic for us, as we are brought into contact with values which make us feel uncomfortable. Even the more whimsical comedies have their moments of cruelty and doubt. While these plays were classified as Comedies in the original editions, they contain darker, more serious themes than the other comedies, and Troilus and Cressida has neither a happy nor a tragic ending.

In Hamlet Act 3, scene 2 Hamlet says "for some must watch while some must sleep, so runs the world away." What does Hamlet mean by this? I am doing...

Hamlet's plan for "catching the conscience of the king" has worked. He has had his play performed, Claudius has freaked out, and everyone has left except Hamlet and his best friend, Horatio. 

Hamlet is saying that the way the world works is that some people must be ever vigilant, on guard against danger and evil, while some get to just "sleep" their way through life, never paying any attention to what's happening around them. He is confident now in what the ghost told him about his father's murder, and thinks he is ready now to be on guard - to right the wronged - to seek revenge on his father's murderer.

Perhaps Asia Booth was saying that she should have been like Hamlet concerning her brother - that she should have been vigilant while the world slept around him.

Good luck!

What evidence is there that Sundiata, though a Muslim, did not always act like a Muslim ruler?

One piece of evidence showing that Sundiata was not a devout Muslim is his reliance on magic. Islam forbids magic, even just reading the horoscope or palm reading. An example of Sundiata's use of magic came in a battle with Soumaoro. Sundiata was told that he could defeat his enemy if he used an arrow that had been tipped with a magical rooster's claw.

Why is Jack so intent on hunting and why is Ralph so concerned about the "littluns" in Lord of the Flies?

Both boys have been given two very different personalities.  Ralph is the personality that represents civilized behavior, compassion, and concern.  He is what is good about humanity.  Jack is the opposite.  He is the antagonist.  Jack, without adult guidance and order, becomes the raw embellishment of savagery.  He demonstrates what happens when civilization begins to fall apart.

The author gave us the two characters so that the reader could identify the marked contrast as well as setting the stage for the conflict that will lead to the total breakdown of civilized social behaviors.  Like the world that the boy’s have been transported away from in order to escape the fall of civilization, they too have mimicked the behaviors of the fall of a civilization.

Only the fittest survive.

What does this mean "If it wasnt for the mist we could see your home across the bay...you always hace a green light that burns all night..."

There are several items of interest pertaining to this quote.  First, Gatsby is admitting to Daisy that he not only knows where she lives but that he's been keeping tabs on her.  He knows the frequency and duration of the light at the end of their dock.  Secondly, we see the importance of the color green (one of the themes/motifs) in this novel.  Gatsby finally ties together that the green light at Daisy's place has continued to symbolize his willingness to keep going towards her.  And finally, hard core theme-ists will suggest that the mist currently shielding the light from Gatsby and Daisy should have shown Gatsby that his perfect dream wasn't perfect.  The clouding of his important symbol (the green light) should have suggested to him that he wasn't meant to chase Daisy anymore.

I want a half page reflection on this prayer.holy one in your wisdom you have made us dependent on one another and so we pray for the starving...

God, in all his intelligence and guidance, has given one the ability to know what it is like to need someone else.  He established this pattern of dependency in order that we can and will help one another on earth.  He has given us the knowledge and the skills to help others. 

We sin often and need to ask his forgiveness for our sins. Some times we ask for forgiveness but we don't make any changes that prevent us from doing the same thing wrong again.  We need His power and support so that we won't continue to make the same mistakes.  In the prayer one is asking for forgiveness for keeping what he has and not sharing it with those who are less fortunate.

He is asking God to help him to make amends by doing things that will please God.  He is talking about the” hungers at the table of life," but it has two meanings; The resolution to the hunger would mean teaching God's gospel and faith to others.  The second is that we have to share what we have. 

In Christ is said as representation of the way to God is through the son.
