Read the excerpt from Jungle Book: Mowgli's Brothers.

The fire was burning furiously at the end of the branch, and Mowgli struck right and left round the circle, and the wolves ran howling with the sparks burning their fur. At last there were only Akela, Bagheera, and perhaps ten wolves that had taken Mowgli's part. Then something began to hurt Mowgli inside him, as he had never been hurt in his life before, and he caught his breath and sobbed, and the tears ran down his face.

"What is it? What is it?" he said. "I do not wish to leave the jungle, and I do not know what this is. Am I dying, Bagheera?"

"No, Little Brother. Those are only tears such as men use," said Bagheera. "Now I know thou art a man, and a man's cub no longer. The jungle is shut indeed to thee henceforward. Let them fall, Mowgli; they are only tears." So Mowgli sat and cried as though his heart would break; and he had never cried in all his life before.



Which two themes are expressed in this excerpt?

Growing up can be lonely and painful.
Tears are a sign of weakness.
Growing up can be lonely and painful.
Wise friends are a life-long treasure.
Appearances are deceiving.
Fire is a dangerous power.
Fire is a dangerous power.
Wise friends are a life-long treasure.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Growing up can be lonely and painful.

Wise friends are a life-long treasure.

Explanation:

The first theme, that of growing up, is the most salient point Kipling leaves the reader with. It describes how Mowgli's loneliness almost physically hurts him, because he's grown close to his friends in the jungle, and he doesn't want to leave.

The next theme is more implied, but it's clear from Bagheera's comments. Bagheera says that Mowgli's tears are "only tears such as men use," which makes it clear that tears are not a sign of weakness but a sign of maturity in this case. Bagheera's wise insights comfort Mowgli, so it's a reasonable assumption that wise friends are a treasure.

Answer 2

The themes that are expressed in this excerpt are:

Growing up can be lonely and painful.Wise friends are a life-long treasure.

Messages from the except

Mowgli had now grown up and had to leave the jungle. This made him so sad that he cried. This showed that having to grow up can be quite painful.

Bagheera comforts him however, and explains to him what he was going through. This showed that having wise friends is a great thing.

"But it's only a big pencil," the Humbug objected, tapping it with his cane. "True enough," agreed the Mathemagician, "but once you learn to use it, there's no end to what you can do." What theme is represented by these lines?

Answers

Since there are no options to this question, nor have I been able to find any options online, I'll just answer with an interpretation of the excerpt.

Answer:

The theme represented by this line is that if you are an educated person, there is nothing you cannot do. Education is the secret to achieving anything.

Explanation:

In "The Phantom Tollbooth", the pencil is called "a magic staff". Its true magic relies on the person's capacity to use it. If you know Math, if you know languages, if you know any other subject that you like, you can work wonders with a pencil. It is a simple object that can bring to life your ideas, which can even change the world. That is what the Mathemagician reveals as the dialog progresses:

"But it's only a big pencil," the Humbug objected, tapping at it with his cane.

"True enough," agreed the Mathemagician; "but once you learn to use it, there's no end to what you can do."

"Can you make things disappear?" asked Milo excitedly.

"Why, certainly," he said, striding over to the easel. "Just step a little closer and watch carefully."

After demonstrating that there was nothing up his sleeves, in his hat, or behind his back, he wrote quickly:

4 + 9 − 2 × 16 + 1 ÷ 3 × 6 − 67 + 8 × 2 − 3 + 26 − 1 ÷ 34 + 3 ÷ 7 + 2 − 5 =

Then he looked up expectantly. "Seventeen!" shouted the bug, who always managed to be first with the wrong answer.

"It all comes to zero," corrected Milo.

"Precisely," said the Mathemagician, making a very theatrical bow, and the entire line of numbers vanished before their eyes.

what does johnathans attitude toward these blessings show you about the nature of the nigerian civil war

Answers

Answer:

Jonathan's grateful attitude toward his blessings reveals that the Nigerian Civil War was brutal and had adverse effects on the Igbo people, or South Easterners.

Explanation:

The book, "Civil Peace", by Chinua Achebe tells the story of Jonathan Iwegbu, an Igbo man who survived the disastrous civil war. The war was fought between the state of Biafra and the Nigerian government from the year 1967 till 1970. The Biafrans believed that they were marginalized by the Nigerian government, leading to the declaration of the Republic of Biafra in 1967.

The five blessings Jonathan Iwegbu was grateful for include; his family, consisting of his wife and three children out of four, their survival, his bicycle, the fact that his house in Enugu was still standing,  as well as the money and belongings he had left. These blessings are rare for most people who experienced war. It also reveals the severity of the war as millions died from the war and did not have as much after the war. Therefore Johnathan's blessings were a cause for rejoicing.

In paragraph 87, Mr. Steward returns the button unit to the Lewis home after his phone conversation with Norma. How does this action affect the Lewises? Its on commonlit!! due today!!!

Answers

Answer:

A. It encourages Norma to consider using the button unit.

Explanation:

The short story Button, Button by Richard Matheson revolves around the theme of how a person may do anything to get money even at the cost of someone's life. This story deals with human greed and selfish nature.

Mr. Steward had told the Lewises about the button and how it works. Once pushed, it will kill someone they don't know and don't need to know. But the upside of it was that they will get $50,000. At first, the Lewises unitedly rejected the offer and rejected it. But Norma Lewis called him the next day, which led to the return of the package. And without her husband's knowledge, she kept it in the house. She began to conjure up reasons for the offer, stating "some eccentric millionaire is playing games with people" or that it might not be as serious as they had thought it'd be. This return of the package only encourages Norma to consider pushing the button, which we know led to the death of Arthur and thus, Norma got the right amount, which is $50,000 of his life insurance.

I would one day love to visit France. Not only is it’s beauty overwhelming but the history and cuisine calls me. I’d of course want to travel to Paris and see the sights but I’d also want to indulge in as much food as I could possibly eat. I imagine waking up on a bright yet foggy Sunday morning, and walking to the local café for a hot cup of coffee and a pastry of some sort. Then for lunch I’d walk amongst the other busy people to a big restaurant, somewhere with a great view. So perhaps, I’d choose to go to Le Tréport. Amazing views of the transparent yet blue tinted waves crashing up against the rocks with power and emotion, as if they were alive! Lastly, for dinner. I’d go to a small, family owned kitchen, and ask the waiter for their favorite dish on the menu. Not only do I feel that France can bring out the creativity in someone, I feel that it brings out ones spontaneity. I would love the darker, more negative side of me to disappear as my creativity and love for travel flourished in France!

Decide if the underlined part of each sentence is an absolute phrase, an appositive phrase, a restrictive clause, or a
nonrestrictive clause.

Answers

Answer:

1) Restrictive clause.

2) Absolute phrase

3) Nonrestrictive clause.

3) Appositive clause.

Explanation:

The answer to the question above is the following one:

a) The concert that I attended was held last August.

A is a restrictive clause because it modifies the noun it precedes. It provides essential information as regards the sentence. If it was dropped, the sentence would not have the same meaning.

b) The audience moved as one, the crowd swaying the music.

B is an absolute phrase. Absolute phrases are phrases that modify a noun in a sentence but they are not connected to the sentence by a conjunction.  They are set off with a comma and can be deleted from the sentence without altering its meaning.

c) The  concert, which had been rescheduled, was sold out.

C is nonrestrictive clause. It provides information which is considered nonessential. Therefore, it can be erased without altering the meaning of the sentence.

d) The band, a hometown favorite, came back for serveral encores

D is an appositive phrase. An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. They are set off with commas.

Answers

Answer: Yes

Explanation: Since, there are 6 sides to a cube, each with a different number, you have a 1 in 6 or 1/6th of a chance to roll a five. In other words for every 6 rolls you will roll a 5 one time. You have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 5. Those are the only ways I know how to describe it.

Answer:

No, because there's always a 1 out of 6 chance he'll get the same number. It's a small chance, but a chance nonetheless. He could still possibly roll another 5.
