Answer:

In Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist," the old man's story about the miner and the emerald connects with Santiago's situation because he was about to give up on his dreams just like Santiago. Besides, it demonstrates that when you put your whole life into your dreams, you cannot give up.

Similarly, when the old man says that "treasure is uncovered by the force of flowing water, and it is buried by the same currents," he means that treasure is uncovered when you are young and have dreams; however, it is later buried by the reality you face in life. In fact, the anger and frustration that cause the miner to give up then make him break the stone and find the emerald he has been looking for.

I need help writing a two paragraphs assertion about a blind man from the passage the down below.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

My neighbour, Gopal, has an only son. Unfortunately, he is blind. He cannot see at all. For him days and nights are equal. His is a wretched life. For all his needs, he depends on other members of the family. He cannot take care of himself.

He is a burden on others. He cannot go anywhere without the help of a guide. He is deprived of all the joys and pleasures which come to us through our eyes. He can’t go to the pictures. He cannot enjoy the scenes and sights of nature. There is no joy in his life. He is always sad and moody. He has no chance of marriage. All his life. He must remain a bachelor. He must lead a sad and lonely life.

But Nature has compensated him for this heavy loss of eye-sight. He has been blessed with a sweet and melodious voice. He can charm others with his songs. He is often invited by people to entertain them with his songs.

He is paid handsomely. He has a very good memory. He knows the whole of the Tulsi Ramayana by heart. When he sings, the words seem to flow from his heart. All present listen to him spell­bound. Singing has become his hobby. It is the only redeeming feature of his life.

But nowadays, there are schools for the blind. They can be educated. They can be trained in various handicrafts and thus made useful member of society. So the lot of a blindman is not as hard and miserable as it used to be.

He can become capable of earning his livelihood. If he so chooses. He can get higher education and thus secure a Government job. He need not feel helpless and miserable. Several avenues are open to him. There are chances for him to make his career.

Which of the following from "The Tell-Tale Heart" is an effective use of juxtaposition?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

B) Keeping still in his room

Explanation:

In grammar, juxtaposition is, together with coordination and subordination, one of the ways of gathering two simple sentences to form a compound sentence.

Unlike the other procedures, the juxtaposition does not use nexuses, but pauses or graphical signs of punctuation in the written language to relate two propositions. This makes it often ambiguous and gives rise to different syntactic interpretations between one speaker or another if the context is not clear enough or the presuppositions are not very explicit.
