Please some one help me take 40points.just look the picture and answers the question.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1. The author hasn't told us the real reason of why Laura died. She has told us about their housemaid, Reenie, but we do not know how that is connected to Laura's death. Also, the author says that Laura might have her "reasons", but doesn't even tell us indirectly what those reason might be...

2. Two possible answers

- Laura's notebooks are her childhood diaries/a record of a secret relationship/a novel

OR

- Iris feels responsible for her sisters death/never loved her husband

Explanation for the 2nd one:

- The author remembers Reenie (maybe while reading one of Laura's diaries) and she also feels the need to tell Richard, her husband. But why does she feel the need to tell Richard? Maybe because Richard may have been in love with Laura, and because something went wrong (something didn't or couldn't work out) they have split up and Richard married Iris. Or maybe Iris felt some kind of anger towards Laura and that's why she married Richard (we don't quite know).  And Laura may have been furious of Richard's or Iris' decision so much that she decided to kill herself (or did she? We don't know 'cause it's the first chapter). And that might be the reason Iris might have felt the need to inform Richard about Laura's death - because she thinks (or maybe knows feels) that Richard doesn't love her, he still loves Laura and that because they got married that, somehow may associate on the reason of Laura's death.

Read the passage from Rain Myths (Links to an external site.). Near the beginning of life on Earth, Shen Nong, who was the Lord
notsponge [240]

"Near the beginning of life on Earth, Shen Nong, who was the Lord of the Wind, made numerous voyages over our world," is the passage's best example of the trait found in a myth.

<h3>What do you mean by myth?</h3>

Myth refers to conventional tales that explain social or natural phenomena or deal with human history while incorporating supernatural characters or events. Folktales, fables, lore, and the like are a few examples.

Therefore, the aforementioned example shows that Shen Nong is thought of as the existence on earth in "Near the Beginning of Life on Earth," when he did not coexist with other life. However, "Lord of the Wind" has a supernatural character who bestows wind-related ability.
