It's called an adjective.  Adjectives are "grammatically related" to a noun to describe or modify it.

Occasionally, a verb can function as a noun if “ing” is added to the end of it.  As you may know, a noun can perform or receive an action, and when an “ing” is added to the end of a verb, this is possible.  For instance, <em>write </em>is a verb is in <em>I write </em>where “I” is the subject, and “write” is the verb.  However, if you add “ing” to “write” as in “writing,” it becomes a noun as it can therefore perform or receive the action as in <em>Writing makes me happy</em> or <em>I like writing</em>, respectively.

Roman55 [17]
Old age homes, or retirement homes are advisable for many different reasons. First of all, many of the elderly's children are not able to provide the needed care on a 24/7 basis.

Write a narrative essay describing a personal experience where telling the truth resulted in something negative.
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Telling the truth about something doesn't always resolve the problem, but is a great moral lesson in how you should take responsibility for your actions. If you've done something where you are at fault, the reality of it is that you're obligated to take the responsibility instead of blaming it on something or someone else. However, because you're at fault, taking the responsibility could create a harsher environment for yourself. Getting yelled at, losing a job, not being able to do what you wanted to do. This is why telling the truth can become an internal conflict. If I tell the truth, I would be doing the right thing; but I would also be putting myself in a position I don't want to be in.

Explanation:

Think about this and reflect on your own experiences; where whenever you've told the truth, you negatively impacted something or someone. Write your own essay.

How does O’Henry draw upon themes, events, or character types from myths or traditional stories and render them new in “the prin
Lostsunrise [7]

In the story "The Princess and the Puma," O. Henry tells the story of a woman called Josefa, a man called Givens, and their encounter with a puma. In the story, O. Henry draws on several themes, events and characters from myths and other traditional stories.

For example, O. Henry draws on the theme of love, as he shows how far the two people are willing to go with their lies and their tales in order to protect their image in front of the person they love.

O. Henry also draws on an event common in myths, which is the fight between hero and beast. However, instead of the hero of this story succeeding, he is saved by a woman. This is a new take on a traditional subject.

Finally, O. Henry draws upon characters such as princesses, knights and lions that come from traditional stories and applies them in a modern Mexican setting.
