Based on this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," what is the contextual meaning of the word resign? "I am sor

ry," he said, and patted me on the shoulder with his good hand. "I would not be rude. My wife has just died. You must forgive me." "Oh-" I said, feeling sick for him. "I am so sorry." He stood there biting his lower lip. "It is very difficult," he said. "I cannot resign myself." He looked straight past me and out through the window. Then he began to cry. "I am utterly unable to resign myself," he said and choked. And then crying, his head up looking at nothing, carrying himself straight and soldierly, with tears on both cheeks and biting his lips, he walked past the machines and out the door.

<span>In this context, the word resign means that something terrible has happened and it cannot be changed. The passing of his wife is the horrible event, and death is something he cannot change. His tears and solemn appearance is proof that it was devastating.</span>

lidiya [134]

Answer:

In The Outsiders, sunrise and sunset are symbols of unity and connection. For example, when Ponyboy connects with Cherry at the movies on the topic of sunsets, he begins to realize that all humans are linked through the natural world.

Finally, the book ends using the exact words that it began with. This is a symbol of the journey that Ponyboy has been on. It shows that he was able to work through all of the destruction that occurred throughout the story. It provides symmetry in the novel as well.
