In this excerpt from Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, which lines best show how other characters perceive Scrooge's stingy n

ature?
She was very pretty: exceedingly pretty. With a dimpled, surprised-looking, capital face; a ripe little mouth, that seemed made to be kissed—as no doubt it was; all kinds of good little dots about her chin, that melted into one another when she laughed; and the sunniest pair of eyes you ever saw in any little creature’s head. Altogether she was what you would have called provoking, you know; but satisfactory, too. Oh, perfectly satisfactory. "He's a comical old fellow," said Scrooge's nephew, "that's the truth: and not so pleasant as he might be. However, his offences carry their own punishment, and I have nothing to say against him." "I'm sure he is very rich, Fred,” hinted Scrooge's niece. "At least you always tell me so." "What of that, my dear!" said Scrooge's nephew. "His wealth is of no use to him. He don't do any good with it. He don’t make himself comfortable with it. He hasn't the satisfaction of thinking—ha, ha, ha!—that he is ever going to benefit US with it." "I have no patience with him," observed Scrooge's niece. Scrooge's niece's sisters, and all the other ladies, expressed the same opinion. "Oh, I have!" said Scrooge's nephew. "I am sorry for him; I couldn’t be angry with him if I tried. Who suffers by his ill whims! Himself, always. Here, he takes it into his head to dislike us, and he won’t come and dine with us. What’s the consequence? He don’t lose much of a dinner."

Why do the sisters treat mirabella like an outcast
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Mirabella is an outsider because she cannot become humanized like the rest of her pack. In “Recitatif”, the gar girls along with Twyla and Roberta make Maggie to be their enemy even though not one of the girls truly knows her. The nuns make Mirabella to be the enemy for the other girls and a real-life lesson on what not to do. The characters in both stories direct their pain and frustrations on the “common enemy” because they have nowhere else to direct it at. They choose to hurt others rather than acknowledge the hurt inside themselves.

Explanation:

I searched it from internet honestly but if it helped you then plz mark me as brainliest. Because it took me lot of time.

PART A: How does the poet’s description of the weed contribute to the meaning of the poem?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The answer of part A is letter A.

The answer of part B is letter B.

Explanation:

Because this poem is about the individuality and the freedom that comes with retaining one's own personal identity.  Julio Noboa  works with a metaphor, to imagine himself as a weed. And the weed will never be like the flowers, the weed, like himself, will be ugly, but able to reach places that the flowers would never be.

He claims that those who are like flowers are circumscribed by the rules of a constraining society. In the other hand, those, like himself, who are like weed, might be seen as ugly and smelly, however, they are singular individuals and they retain their own particularities and individual freedoms. They are society values free people. Living and making their own rules.
