Why do Beatrice and Benedick talk about loving each other according to "reason" (Act 5, Scene 4)? How does the gender of the characters play into...

When confronted with the fact that both Beatrice and Benedick were led, via the "noting" of planned conversations among their friends, to believe that each was in love with the other, they felt embarrassed at being tricked into admissions of love.  Both are proud characters and neither wanted to be the one to say "I love you" first out of a fear of rejection.  When each is asked about loving the other and both respond, "No more than reason", they mean "no more than any one human being should give a hoot about any other human being".  This demonstrates their pride in not being willing to admit their true feelings.  However, both Claudio and Hero produce written confessions of love that they have confiscated, and Beatrice and Benedick are forced to admit the truth.

Quote four sentences which prove that Miss Keller has made full use of her sense of touch in The Miracle Worker.

The tone of your question suggests that you would like to hear about how Helen has made full use of her sense of touch even BEFORE the appearance of Annie.  In my opinion, the episode about the doll is the best example:

(Helen meanwhile sits on the floor to explore the doll with her fingers, and her hand pauses over the face:  this is no face, a blank area of towel, and it troubles her.  Her hand searches for features, and taps questioningly for eyes, but no one notices.  She then yanks at her aunt's dress, adn taps again vigorously for eyes.)

Aunt Ev:  What, child?

(Obviously not hearing, Helen commences to go around, from person to person, tapping for eyes, but no one attends or understands.)

Please note that the most pertinent four sentences here are sentences of stage direction, not dialogue.  People who can see/hear, of course haven't refined their sense of touch.  Helen has already lived years without those two senses so, even though she is rough around the edges, she certainly does make full use of that sense.

Interesting that the description begins with the explanation of Helen wanting "to explore the doll with her fingers," something quite common for her, I imagine.  (Perfect evidence for your argument.) Of course, Helen uses her sense of touch further to determine (first other features) and then that the doll doesn't have eyes.

It's also interesting that after being used for exploration, touch is then used to grab attention.  First, she gently taps the doll using her own touch in hopes that someone will notice.  Next, she "yanks" her aunt's skirt.  Third, her taps for eyes become "vigorous."  Fourth, she approaches everyone else in the room, still tapping for eyes.

Poor Helen!  Enter Annie, ... and Helen's world changes.  : )

In the book, The Swiss Family Robinson, what was the first thing the family did after reaching shore?

The first thing of any significance that the Swiss Family Robinson does when they get to shore is to get down on their knees and give thanks to God for allowing them to escape from the wreck of the ship.

This is a very typical thing in this novel.  The whole book is meant in part to be a moral example to people.  There is talk of religion and morals throughout the whole book.  The family quite often kneels in prayer and otherwise acknowledges God.  So it is not surprising that this is the first thing they do.

Describe the four main spheres of Earth.

1.lithosphere 2.hydrosphere 3.atmosphere 4.biosphere 

The four spheres show how the four main components of Planet Earth form a complete system. These main components are land, air, water, and life.

The lithosphere, also known as Geosphere is made of the earth's core, the mantle, crust, ocean floor,mountains, sand, rocks, alphalt, bricks, etc.

The hydrosphere is made of everything water such as oceans, rivers, lakes, rain, snow, and ice caps.

The atmosphere is made of gasses such as oxygen, hydrogen, water vapor, ozone, and the wind.

Finally the biosphere is all that has life such as plants, animals, people, insects, microbes, etc.

Lithosphere of the earth is the outer solid crust on the earth's surface, that surrounds the hot molten core of the earth. The lithosphere consists of about 30 small and large pieces called plates that are continuously but very slowly moving on the very hot rocks below it. These hot rocks constitute the athenosphere of the earth.

Atmosphere of the earth refers to the layer of air that surrounds the solid crust of the earth. The atmosphere extents as far as 1600 kilometers above the surface of earth. Nitrogen makes up about 78% and oxygen about 21% of the gases present in earth's atmosphere. The remaining part consists mainly of Argon and small amount of many other gases, water vapour and dust particles. The lower part of the atmosphere is called troposphere. All clouds exist in the troposphere, and various weather conditions like wind and storms also take place in it. At altitude of about 1600 kilometers the atmosphere gradually fades into empty space.

Hydrosphere of the earth refers to all the bodies of water and ice on the surface of the earth as well as the water vapour in its atmosphere. Hydrosphere makes up about three fourths of the earth's surface.

Biosphere of the earth refers to the regions of erth where life forms such as animals and plants live. These include the surface of the earth and areas close to the surface.

What was the effects of WWII on Victory Bonds?

I do not really think that this is a proper way to phrase the question.  This is because World War II did not really have any effect on Victory Bonds.  Instead, World War II caused Victory Bonds to exist -- if it had not been for the war, there would have been no bonds.

The whole purpose of selling Victory Bonds was to raise money for the war effort.  So if there is no war effort, there are no bonds.

So, the war made the bonds necessary and the bonds helped to finance the war.  But I would not say that the war affected the bonds.

In the novel The Road is survival worth it?explain survival in the novel and is it worth it

In the book The Road the man and his son are on a road following some kind of cataclysmic destruction of the world.  The mother in the story does not believe that she can go on anymore and takes her own life.  Therefore, the man and his son are left on their own to go the journey alone.

The landscape is charred and barren with the exception of occasional houses which have been looted and damaged beyond use.  The two pass down the road pushing a shopping cart filled with found items.  They struggle to find food, drink, clothing, blankets, and fuel.  Anything that can be used for survival is important.

However, the two are not totally alone on the road.  Scattered here and there are a population of people who in desperation are resorting to cannibalism.  The man and the boy carry a gun with two bullets to use in case that they need to end their own lives.

After reading the book I thought to myself that it did not seem worth the effort to survive when no one could know what bad or good thing was around the bend.  There seemed to be very little good things at all.  The only pleasant experience it seemed that the man and the boy had was when they had found a bunker full of food with cots to sleep in and could actually spend a few days living an almost normal pre-disaster existence.

The previous editor talked about the will to survive being strong and that is why the people kept going.  Humans have the idea of hope within them.  For the boy, he knew no other way of life so the journey down the road was just natural living.  Had I been the man and I was dying, I would have been terrified to leave my child behind to such an awful world.  I did not find what we knew of the world in the book as worth staying in, but then one never knows for sure what is around the next bend. The fact that the boy meets some good people after his father's death gives us some hope of a better future.

'Culture clash' is the most important theme in A Passage to India. What are the other themes in the novel?

This novel also deals with such themes as friendship, public and private life, and ambiguity ("mystery" and "muddle"). Aziz and his friends discuss whether it possible to be friends with an Englishman; Mahmoud Ali argues it is not. This conversation relates to the clash between two cultures, but it ultimately prepares the reader for the relationship between Aziz and various British colonials such as Fielding, Miss Quested, and Mrs. Moore. Within the Indian culture as well you can examine the friendships between Aziz and his fellow Indians, Hamidullah, Mahmoud Ali, and the Nawab Bahadur. The puzzling events in the Marabar Caves contribute to the ambiguity in the novel although this theme is not limited to the central part of the book. See the link below for further explanation of themes.
