What does the masquerade mentioned in line 9 represent in the poem

from “A Bachelor’s Complaint of the Behaviour of Married People”
by Charles Lamb
As a single man, I have spent a good deal of my time in noting down the infirmities of Married People, to console myself for those superior pleasures, which they tell me I have lost by remaining as I am.
I cannot say that the quarrels of men and their wives ever made any great impression upon me, or had much tendency to strengthen me in those anti-social resolutions, which I took up long ago upon more substantial considerations. What oftenest offends me at the houses of married persons where I visit, is an error of quite a different description;—it is that they are too loving.
Not too loving neither: that does not explain my meaning. Besides, why should that offend me? The very act of separating themselves from the rest of the world, to have the fuller enjoyment of each other’s society, implies that they prefer one another to all the world.
But what I complain of is, that they carry this preference so undisguisedly, they perk it up in the faces of us single people so shamelessly, you cannot be in their company a moment without being made to feel, by some indirect hint or open avowal, that you are not the object of this preference. Now there are some things which give no offence, while implied or taken for granted merely; but expressed, there is much offence in them. If a man were to accost the first homely-featured or plain-dressed young woman of his acquaintance, and tell her bluntly, that she was not handsome or rich enough for him, and he could not marry her, he would deserve to be kicked for his ill manners; yet no less is implied in the fact, that having access and opportunity of putting the question to her, he has never yet thought fit to do it. The young woman understands this as clearly as if it were put into words; but no reasonable young woman would think of making this the ground of a quarrel. Just as little right have a married couple to tell me by speeches, and looks that are scarce less plain than speeches, that I am not the happy man,—the lady’s choice. It is enough that I know I am not: I do not want this perpetual reminding.
The display of superior knowledge or riches may be made sufficiently mortifying; but these admit of a palliative. The knowledge which is brought out to insult me, may accidentally improve me; and in the rich man’s houses and pictures,—his parks and gardens, I have a temporary usufruct at least. But the display of married happiness has none of these palliatives: it is throughout pure, unrecompensed, unqualified insult.
Marriage by its best title is a monopoly, and not of the least invidious sort. It is the cunning of most possessors of any exclusive privilege to keep their advantage as much out of sight as possible, that their less favoured neighbours, seeing little of the benefit, may the less be disposed to question the right. But these married monopolists thrust the most obnoxious part of their patent into our
faces.
Nothing is to me more distasteful than that entire complacency and satisfaction which beam in the countenances of a new-married couple, in that of the lady particularly: it tells you, that her lot is disposed of in this world: that you can have no hopes of her. It is true, I have none; nor wishes either, perhaps: but this is one of those truths which ought, as I said before, to be taken for granted, not expressed. The excessive airs which those people give themselves, founded on the ignorance of us unmarried people, would be more offensive if they were less irrational. We will allow them to understand the mysteries belonging to their own craft better than we who have not had the happiness to be made free of the company: but their arrogance is not content within these limits. If a single person presume to offer his opinion in their presence, though upon the most indifferent subject, he is immediately silenced as an incompetent person. Nay, a young married lady of my acquaintance, who, the best of the jest was, had not changed her condition above a fortnight before, in a question on which I had the misfortune to differ from her, respecting the properest mode of breeding oysters for the London market, had the assurance to ask with a sneer, how such an old Bachelor as I could pretend to know any thing about such matters.

Excerpt from The Fortune Teller
Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
Hamlet observes to Horatio that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. This was the
selfsame explanation that was given by beautiful Rita to her lover, Camillo, on a certain Friday of November, 1869, when Camillo
laughed at her for having gone, the previous evening, to consult a fortune teller. The only difference is that she made her
explanation in other words,
"Laugh, laugh. That's just like you men; you don't believe in anything. Well, let me tell you, I went there and she guessed the
reason for my coming before I ever spoke a word. Scarcely had she begun to lay out the cards when she said to me: 'The lady
likes a certain person ... 'I confessed that it was so, and then she continued to rearrange the cards in various combinations, finally
telling me that I was afraid you would forget me, but that there were no grounds for my fear."

I will tell you a story that is only half true. I first went out of
the country when I was about 20 years old. Some friends and
went to Hawan on a vacation. During our trip, we spent most of
the time lying around the beach
One night, we went on a moonlight cruise. The boat we
went on had a glass bottom, so we could see all the beautiful
sea life floating underneath us. The moonlight would hit the
glass just so, causing shadows to appear and the sea
creatures to seem almost mythological I think it's one of the
most beautiful things I have ever seen So enraptured with
nature were we that we didn't see the boat approaching ours
Imagine my surprise when our boat tour was boarded by
pirates. We were literally scared speechless. Luckily, they didn't
speak a language we could understand anyway Everyone had
to surrender all of their valuable items I lost my camera with all
of my pictures from our trip, the diamond studs I had received
as a high school graduation present, and my favorite watch
But thank goodness that was all I lost And the story I lived to
tell was more than worth it

A character’s experiences can shape their view of the world around them. The same is true of authors. Understanding an author’s background can help a reader infer themes in a text. Think about one issue from Wells’ time from the slideshow that you can connect with the novel. Then, create a cluster diagram or concept map that connects the historical issue with two or three details from the book. After looking at the connections, write a brief paragraph about how The First Men in the Moon alters history?

"Ai, ai! Make of me an ant

That goes where nobody knows."

The ant went under the father's bed.

The girl came there to her father. She asked him, "My father, where is your life?"

Her father said, "Why do you ask me? It is for some bedevilment."

"No, I only want to know," she said.

"Well," he said to her, "my life is inside the belly of a hog in my garden. Inside the hog's belly is an egg. Inside the egg is my life."

The ant that was Anton had been listening, and he said,

"Ai, ai! Make of me a boy."
