Answer:

The main character trait of the fir tree was 'impatient.'

Explanation:

'The Fir Tree' is a short story written by Hans Christian Anderson. The story is about a little fir tree who always desired more and never stopped to enjoy what he had at present. When he was little, he desired to be a grown tree, and when he grew up he desired to be the tallest among all fir tree.

Through the story, the main character trait that the fir tree showed was being impatient. The Fir Tree was so tetchy that when he was little, he always thought of growing up. He was so engrossed in the thought of growing up that he forgot to enjoy the place where he was. The story describes that he was at the good place, where the sun shone bright on him, he had plenty of fresh air. But he envied large and full-grown fir trees and desired to out-grow them.

<u>Textual evidences:</u>

<em>"The place he had was a very good one: the sun shone on him: as to fresh air, there was enough of that, and round him grew many large-sized comrades, pines as well as firs. </em><em>But the little Fir wanted so very much to be a grown-up tree.</em><em>"</em>

<em>"  "Oh! Were I</em><em> but such a high tree as the others are</em><em>," sighed he."</em>

<em>" "</em><em>To grow and grow, to get older and be tall</em><em>," thought the Tree --"that, after all, is the most delightful thing in the world!" "</em>

Independence Day is one of the most important days of the year for our country. Each year on (that day) we celebrate the day we became an independent nation, which means we were free to rule ourselves and were not ruled by anyone else.

For hundreds of years, India was ruled by the United Kingdom and our country was a part of the British Empire. The British have taken over a lot of the world and India was one of its many colonies. Before they came, India was made up of many kingdoms. After being ruled by them for years, the mutual feelings toward foreign rule really brought the country together. United, the people of the country struggled to free itself from British rule for many years. We officially became independent on 15 August 1947. To commemorate this historic event, we celebrate our independence on 15th August every year.

A new nation was born. A new country has emerged on the world map. Bangladesh is a free and sovereign country now.26 march was the glorious day when the journey of independence started. This day is recognized as the Great Independence Day in Bangladesh History.

which group of writers valued reason and logical thinking over faith A. the puritans B. the enlightenment writers C. the native
Naddika [18.5K]

B. The Enlightenment writers valued reason and logical thinking over faith. Most of the Enlightenment writers, such as Rousseau or Montesquieu, used logical thinking to prove their points or hypothesis. They didn't invoke God's reasons or authority to do so. Not because they were atheists, but because they believed that reasoning was what gonna take humanity into a better future, they believed that reasoning enlightenments, while the sole belief in God what was stopped humanity from developing a better society. That's why the Enlightenment period is called that way and the Middle Ages are sometimes referred as Dark Ages, because Europe has felt from a scientifically and technologically rich period into a period where people was set aback to survive by their own meanings. A lot of the classical knowledge and technology that made life easier was lost after the fall of the Roman Empire, and it wasn't until Renaissance that it was recovered.
