Why might O'Brien specify a weight for all of the items?

English
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago

Answer:

This gives the reader a sense of the burden that the men are bearing in carrying these things. Much attention is given to the weight and pressure the soldiers feel from what they're carrying and from external forces, such as nature.

Explanation:

"They carried the sky. The whole atmosphere...they carried gravity." But the greatest weight the men feel comes from nothing they can physically carry, but rather their emotions: "Grief, terror, love, longing these were intangibles, but the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight.

Cheap and Frugal Which shows a negative connotation and which shows a positive connotation? Why?
evablogger [386]
Cheap is negative and Frugal is positive.

Cheap is negative because it is when somebody is afraid to spend money to have short-term savings and in the process they reduce the quality, value and time they have.

Frugal is positive because it is when someone prioritises their money and only spends on things they really need.

e.g someone cheap will buy lots of badly made chairs but a frugal person will buy one chair which will last longer.

Can someone Write me a horror story that would describe all forms of contamination that lead to foodborne illnesses.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Okay, sure thing.

Explanation:

It was cold, unbearably unwarm. A young girl going through adolescence is looking for shelter. Her parents are no where to be seen, must be hidden in the large snow banks. Making it to shelter, she enters a room of what looks to be a school. This school looked particularly old but she didn't have anywhere else to go so she slepted until the sun shone in her deep green eyes. It was morning, the sound of footsteps were coming closer and closer. A group of girls whose makeup was flawless and they were all a size small were standing above her. They taunted her, shouting "foodborne" ! She ran as fast as she could, until the sounds and murmurs of voices faded. All of a sudden, she's in a town, a town of modernist views. Signs for "are you foodborne", "you have a illness, get out", and "crawl away foodborne illness creep". Her words that the girls in the old school told her came to haunt her on big billboards. No one knows why this girl is foodborne, the girls only assumed. She found shelter in a nearby barn, that barn was filled of signs. That barn she entered was filled with her name and her family as targets on a list of others to taunt about having a foodborne illness. No where to run, no where to hide, the taunt leaks and creeps.
