The following question references the novel the call of the thild by jack london
london includes a quote about john thornton as he is observing hal attempt to motivate the exhausted dogs "it was idle, he knew,
to get between a fool and his folly". if the word "idle" is defined as "of no real worth importance or significance", what does this
statement mean with regard to hal? who is the fool? what is hal's folly? why would john thornton think it of no real worth or
useless to intervene?

The word "idle" could also be described as "pointless" in the context. It basically means that John Thornton knows it is pointless to come between Hal (the fool) and his "folly" (meaning a lack of good sense), or his decision of making the tired dogs run on thin ice. Thornton probably thinks it is useless to intervene because Hal won't listen to common sense. Hal has already made a number of bad decisions on the trip, including not knowing how to properly ration food for the dogs.

its a hard situation i cant really answer because the essay is for you to write.

to me i think class room sitting education is better. i do online school and i have not learned a think haha. when i sit in the classroom i just sit there and kind of pay attention but still i get so far ahead in the class when im doing online i have nothing else better to do but play video games and i sit in school and learn and have friends and just actually learn. when i'm doing online i sit here listing to music and get on and and look up the answers i guess that is my fault for being a cheater. but to be honest i think sitting in the classroom is better.
