How does the author's choice to reveal the woman's blindness in the last paragraph contribute to the overall story?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

This question refers to the short story "The Mouse", by Saki.

The main character is Theodoric Voler, a man who has been raised in a most overprotected manner. He finds the world to be full of annoyances and disturbances.

The theme of this story revolves around Theodoric's self-centeredness. He is so busy worrying about himself, about his image in front of others, and about his comfort that he fails to notice and pay attention to other people's sufferings and misfortunes. That theme is developed at the climax of the story. It turns out that the woman who is sharing the train carriage with Theodoric is blind. He had been utterly embarrassed throughout their trip because he needed to half undress in order to get rid of a mouse that was crawling under his clothes.

Theodoric suffered terribly, to the point of shivering, imagining what that woman could be thinking of him. Too concerned about his own petty problems, he failed to realize her blindness. The author only reveals her blindness at the end of the story, which means readers have suffered all the while with Theodoric, wondering what that woman's reaction would be. By being told about her blindness in the last paragraph, readers are left surprised and maybe even a bit upset at Theodoric and all his unnecessary worry.

Sometimes El Niño is followed by La Niña, during which ocean temperatures become cooler. d. Upwelling along the coast of South America occurs after an El Niño

Answers

Answer:

b. Rain, flash floods, and mudslides occur in places where there is usually little rain, while usually wet areas suffer from drought.

Explanation:

El Niño is an atmospheric phenomenon that usually occurs at the end of the year in South America. This phenomenon is characterized by warming beyond the normal waters of the Pacific Ocean. As a result, this phenomenon affects the water temperature, in addition to changing the entire climate of the region.

This abnormal warming of the waters causes evaporation to be greater and, consequently, precipitation is greater, which can cause storms, flash floods and landslides in places where there is generally little rain and drought in areas that used to have good rainfall.

Answer:

b. Rain, flash floods, and mudslides occur in places where there is usually little rain, while usually wet areas suffer from drought.

Write a paragraph about your opinion of
"the outsider" by H.P. Lovecraft​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The Outsider" is written in a first-person narrative style, and details the miserable and apparently lonely life of an individual, who appears to have never made contact with another individual. The story begins, with the narrator explaining his origins. His memory of others is vague, and he cannot seem to recall any details of his personal history, including who he is or where he is originally from. The narrator tells of his environment: a dark, decaying castle amid an "endless forest" of high trees that block out the light from the sun. He has never seen natural light, nor another human being, and he has never ventured from the prison-like home he now inhabits. The only knowledge the narrator has of the outside world, is from his reading of the "antique books" that line the walls of his castle.

The narrator tells of his eventual determination to free himself, from what he views as an existence within a prison. He decides to climb the ruined staircase of the high castle tower which seems to be his only hope for an escape. At the place where the stairs terminate into crumbled ruins, the narrator begins a long, slow climb up the tower wall, until he eventually finds a trapdoor in the ceiling, which he pushes up and climbs through. Amazingly, he finds himself not at the great height he anticipated, but at ground level in another world. With the sight of the full moon before him, he proclaims, "There came to me the purest ecstasy I have ever known." Overcome with the emotion he feels in beholding what—until now—he had only read about, the narrator takes in his new surroundings. He realizes that he is in an old churchyard, and he wanders out into the countryside before eventually coming upon another castle.

How do the townspeople react to moishe’s stories?

Answers

Answer:

In Night by Elie Wiesel, Moshe the Beadle is a very poor, but well loved, man. He is the one Elie goes to when he wants to learn Cabbala (Jewish mysticism). Moshe is also a foreigner, and the foreigners are the first Jews to be deported by the Nazis. Moshe is taken away, and the people of Sighet, his former town, soon forget him.

However, Moshe escapes the Nazis and returns to town with horror stories of what happened to the Jews who were with him. Even Moshe had been shot in the leg after he and the others were forced to dig a trench for their own grave and summarily shot. Most of them died there, but miraculously Moshe survived and came back to warn the townspeople.

Sadly and to their peril, his neighbors will not believe him. They think he has lost his mind. Even Elie is not sure of Moshe anymore. What Moshe describes to them is just too difficult to fathom. How could something like that happen? They decide it couldn't have happened and dismiss Moshe as a crazy person.
