Read the excerpt below and answer the question. "...But if you'll unwrap that package you may see why you had me going a while a

t first." White fingers and nimble tore at the string and paper. And then an ecstatic scream of joy; and then, alas! a quick feminine change to hysterical tears and wails, necessitating the immediate employment of all the comforting powers of the lord of the flat. What can the reader infer about Della’s reaction to opening her gift? Della was so excited to have the combs she had wanted, that she momentarily forgets she has cut her hair. She cries as she realizes she will not be able to use them. Della excitedly opens her gift, and cries tears of joy when she realizes what Jim has bought for her. Della is at first excited to have the combs, then she cries because she knows they have cost Jim too much. Della is happy about receiving the gift, but she is worried that Jim will not be able to forgive her.

Write about the most peaceful place you have ever been and describe how it looks how did you feel and the sound smell and more
andrew11 [14]
The beach. The light breeze, the warm sun and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. Clear blue skies and cream-colored sand, when I’m there, I can just feel all my anxiety escaping my body and the doubts in my head vanish. Even if I’m lying down on a sunbed, it calms my mind. Its almost as if you can smell the heat from the rays of sun, and the air is so clear and pure. All I can feel is myself in a melting into this world of tranquility and peace, where everything is calm.
