Answer: A. single-minded.

In <em>MobyDick</em>, we meet Ahab. He is a captain obsessed with killing MobyDick, a great whale. Ahab's speeches are often long-winded and tormented, and his obsession is obvious. He is single-minded, and believes that it is his destiny to kill the whale, which is the embodiment of evil in the world. He is a tragic character, because his overconfidence leads him to defy common sense and expose himself to great tragedy.

Compare and contrast food webs and food chains.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

1. Both food chains and food webs show the flow of energy in an ecosystem. However, food chains illustrate one path of energy, while food webs show multiple paths of energy and interactions among food chains.

2. About 90 percent of the energy at each trophic level is lost and not available to the next level. If the producer level has 100 units of energy, then 10 units of energy are available for the primary consumers.

3. Green plants. Just as 90 percent of the energy at each trophic level is lost, the amount of biomass is typically highest at the primary producer level and decreases in higher trophic levels.

4. Energy is lost to the environment in the form of heat.

How does your audience shape your writing?
OverLord2011 [107]
It's really important to know your audience when you start writing something. For example, if you want to write a dystopian novel, usually teens and young adults read such books, so you want to modify your novel and theme a bit to better suit their interest and understanding. You need to decide on which group of readers you want to write for so that you can adjust themes, motifs, characters, etc.

What does della buy jim <br>​
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Della buys Jim a watch fob because his watch is his most prized possession.

Explanation:

Della and Jim Young do not have much money. Despite this, Della really wants to buy Jim a good Christmas present. She is even willing to sell her hair to get him a nice gift.

This is ironic because we learn Della and Jim both highly prize her hair.

Now, there were two possessions of the James Dillingham Youngs in which they both took a mighty pride. One was Jim's gold watch that had been his father's and his grandfather's. The other was Della's hair.  

Della is still willing to sell her hair so she can buy Jim a really nice gift to show him how much she loves him. She searches high and low until she finds it, and then doesn’t think twice before buying it.

It was a platinum fob chain simple and chaste in design, properly proclaiming its value by substance alone and not by meretricious ornamentation — as all good things should do. It was even worthy of The Watch.  

The fact that Della sold her hair becomes even more ironic when we learn Jim sold his watch in order to buy her a nice hair set. Della sold her hair to buy him a fob for a watch he no longer has, and he sold his watch to buy combs for hair she no longer has.

One thing is for sure, hair grows back. Della knows her hair will eventually be beautiful again, so she did not mind selling it too much. Her hair was her most prized possession. Once it grows back, she will be able to enjoy the combs. Unfortunately, the watch fob is kind of useless unless Jem gets his watch back.
