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.

What does it mean to be "somebody" and what does it mean to be "nobody"?
olga_2 [115]

Being a nobody can be something simple. or saying your a nobody can be someone with depression being sad. one can say they are a nobody just because they're "invisible" to some people. One can say they're a nobody because they are the new kid. and a lot will say they are a nobody just because they arent as known as a lot of people and are the type of people to go to school for a few years; then at graduation, everyone goes, "wait, who are they again, i dont know if ive ever seen them in this school."

What effect does the setting have on the plot at the beginning of the story
Kipish [7]
By giving the setting at the beginning of a story, it gives the reader an idea of what the plot will look like. If the setting of a story is in a haunted mansion on Halloween night, the reader has an idea that the plot will probably involve ghosts, chasing, capture, etc. Basically any Scooby-Doo movie ever. All in all, the setting gives the reader an idea of how the plot will lay out.
