Answer:

The story of The Old Man With Enormous Wings reveals how humans may respond differently to who is weak, dependent or different. It has moments of compassion but mostly of cruelty throughout the story, because of the old man intriguing presence.

His human body with the unexpected wings looks not completely human nor magical or surreal. His human side is shown by his filth, disease and infirmity. Also by his rare reactions to the others that gathered to watch him and seek for healing and comfort.

The doctor was amazed that such an unhealthy man could still live and also how the old man's wing seemed natural. The narrator speak of the "lunar dust", "stellar parasites" and the "consolation miracles" bringing his genuine supernatural qualities, but keeping his nature a mystery.

The story goes around the old man and the poor family he appears to. They couldn't understand him and just kept him there because their son got better from a serious disease. They basically gave him food for they wouldn't be responsible if he died, but they kept him locked in the kitchen coop, attracting many curious. They started to get real wealthy charging the people fees to watch the old man. After the curiosity was over they were able to change their life and build a new home. Later on maybe regretting for the way they treated the old man that one day just flew away.

What are examples of members of Congress having to choose between national interests

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Anytime an amendment was passed after the constitution was ratified by the states, would be a constitutional interest. Giving women the vote was both, but in my mind it was more of a constitutional issue. America prided her self on democratic rights. Yet it took women 144 years to get the vote. That was opposed by men who thought women were scatterbrained and flibbertigibbets (that's actually a word and it was used, among others not so delicate).

Constitutional additions also include 13 14 and 15 which have to do with African Americans. I think this was also a constitutional interest, but it had many national ones as well. Labor was one of them. Payment was another.

Impedance _______. Select one: a. is the opposition to the flow of alternating current b. is the opposition to the flow of direc

Kruka [31]

Impedance is the opposition to the flow of alternating current.

Option a

Explanation:

Electrical impedance is the term used to measure the opposition present when a circuit opposes the flow of an electric current in the presence of voltage. Impedance is measured in the unit of Ohms.

It is often confused with resistance. While resistance is used for ‘direct current’, impedance is used for ‘alternating current’. Impedance includes resistance and reactance both. Just like resistance, presence of impedance prevents extensive damage when there is an electrical surge.
