Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage. Just about the time that I am goin

g along pretty well, I glance out the window and see two huge bald eagles swooping and tumbling in a spectacular aerial display. Naturally, I have to leave my desk and rush to the doorway to watch the performance as long as it lasts. Then, as if a conspiracy were trying to keep me from working, two otters poke their shiny heads out of the water and hang there motionless. They watch to see what I am doing. As soon as I return to my desk, seagulls wheel into my window view and screech as they search for scraps of food. Within minutes, this confusion of sounds stirs my aging St. Bernard out of a deep sleep, and he hauls his massive, lumbering body over to be petted. Mickey, my cat, can't stand to see any partiality, so he is soon pacing back and forth across my ankles. As I wiggle my bare toes to tease Mickey, I realize that my legs have become stiff. I remember that I have not had my daily ride. So, I slip on my sandals, step out the door, spring onto my bike, and pedal off down the beach. Meanwhile, the composition in my typewriter sits and grows colder. what is the thesis?

timofeeve [1]

Answer: B

Explanation:

"icy" when describing a person's attitude or personality means cold, rude, etc, but a smile is usually happy and warm.

Personally I don't think it's an oxymoron- it's definitely possible to do a rude, fake smile. But B is what an oxymoron is- two words that are opposite in meaning and shouldn't technically be used together- like "awfully good" or "bittersweet."

How did desdemona and othello meet
Doss [256]

Answer: Brabantio often invited Othello to his house, where he met Desdemona, and they fell in love.

Explanation:

Othello is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is a story about a powerful general of the Venetian army who is utterly betrayed by his deceitful friend, Iago.

In Act I, Scene III, Desdemona's father, Brabantio, argues she has been stolen from him by spells. The duke thus demands that Othello tells the whole story about his marriage to Desdemona. Othello admits that they got married, but insists that he did not use magic to persuade her to be with him. On this occasion, Othello explains that Brabantio invited him to his house, where they discussed his battle stories and journeys outside the civilized world. Desdemona overheard those stories, and wanted Othello to retell them to her. Impressed by what he had to say, Desdemona fell in love with Othello.
