Nectar in a Sieve portrays virtues in action. There are instances of both faith, love and hope in Rukmani's life yet the greatest theme is hope. Nature can test the hope of human yet in the end nature does not grant the ultimate victory. Two eldest sisters are married off, and later are then given great gifts, but when her and her last older sister are married, they are married into a lower social class and receive very little gifts. She despises that she came from a wealthy home and married a farmer. Many of her relatives call her a disgrace. She questions the traditions when she has a girl first, and then does not a have a second (as of chapter 3) so her husband Nathan does not have a son to take care of the land after him. She does follows the traditions when she does not call her husband by name but only by "husband". This is expected of women no matter the class they are in. In the story, she also is married off to a man who she doesnt know, which is customary to the Indian culture. She does draws upon the way of life there when she helps deliver her neighbor's wife's child!

Hope This Helps! :)

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

                                                                          90 Aba Owerri Road,

                                                                          Umungasi,

                                                                          Aba.

                                                                          November 17, 2020.

Dear Chichi,

       I am so pleased to hear that you recently gained admission into Rockview High School. This achievement bears witness to the fact that you have been a hardworking student. Rockview High School is known to have the strictest selection process for admission of new students into highschool. I congratulate you once more on this achievement!

     My years as a student at Rockview High School were very rewarding. I can boldly say that Rockview High school teachers laid the foundation upon which I am now building my life. Rockview is a citadel of moral and academic formation where young teenagers are prepared to undertake diverse life endeavors.

    Chichi, every achievement in life comes with responsibilities. You have to take responsibility while in school. Remember that none of us will be there to guide you into the right choices but you have your conscience as your guide. Do not associate with people who do not uphold the system of values that you have learnt at home. Do not lower your moral standard in order to accommodate friends who think that mischief making is fun. Remember to hold up your head high even when you are left alone with your convictions. Always bear in mind the injunction of the Holy Bible; "Do not follow a multitude to do evil". Let this be your watchword.

     Lastly, remember that good grades have never fallen on anybody like ripe cherries from a tree. You have to work hard and stay focused. Remember that your final GPA is very important when you begin to seek admission into college after high school.

     A word is enough for the wise. Remember to stay safe always and obey all corona virus safety protocols while in school.

                                                                                              Yours Sincerely,

                                                                                              Jude

What is the main idea of the story bread by Margaret Atwood
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer with Explanation:

The story "Bread" by<em> Margaret Atwood</em> depicts the <u>difference of life between the wealthy and poor.</u> She used the common object, which is bread, in order to give a clear meaning when it comes to everyday practice of rich people that seemed harmless, yet is actually causing harm to society. So, she describes <em>how bread brings comfort to people, yet it also brings danger to those who have shortcomings in life.</em> People fight to have bread in order to live and this causes war. When war happens, one side wants to rise above the other so he can have more bread in order to survive.

Her writings seemed more like an accusation to the readers but is, actually, intended in order for the reader to open his eyes.
