What does albatross symbolize? I need a paragraph

1 answer:

3 0

An albatross symbolizes a dead weight, or a burden (emotionally, obviously). The origin of this stems from the belief that killing an albatross would bring bad luck to sailors, most popularly from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where an albatross is hung from the neck of a sailor who killed it. Some may consider obstacles they struggle to overcome to be an albatross, or even themselves if they feel that they are 'weighing others down', in a sense. Inversely though, albatrosses can also mean good luck, although this is used less commonly than the former.

The reader can infer that napalm had what effect?

jekas [21]

Napalm bombs generate carbon monoxide while simultaneously removing oxygen from the air. The air in the bombing area can be 20 percent or more carbon monoxide [source: GlobalSecurity.org]. This effect occurs because napalm partially combusts the oxygen in the air, turning CO2 (carbon dioxide) into CO (carbon monoxide).

However if you want a more clear answer I need a image of the passage.

Answer: First start by reading the instructions for the assignment. Then ask your teacher for clarification. Conduct research at the library or the Internet and read speeches similar to the one you are trying to write (without plagiarizing of course). If you are confused you can seek tutoring, ask a friend, or ask specific questions on Brainly or a similar site.

Hope this helps! :)
