The theme of Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem "Helen Grey" is, beauty isn't everything. We know this to be true because the Rossetti describes Helen Grey as "handsome" and "proud" but also says "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all." This shows the reader that Helen Grey is very attractive and takes pride in her attraction. However, she has let her beauty go to her head, resulting in an unpleasant personality that no man has found her attractive. The last four lines of the poem "Helen Grey" support the its main theme by drawing the reader's attention to the reality of age and time. Time will continue to go by causing Helen to grow old, wrinkly, and gray. Time will pass and with it, Helen's beauty shall pass too. If she does not  change her ways, she will be left with and unattractive personality, and face.

Answer:

Laws keep society orderly and safe. When Mowgli was small, Bagheera paid a bull as a price for his life. To show respect for that bull, Mowgli must obey the law. Mowgli follows this law, which keeps him safe.

Explanation:

<em>The Jungle Book </em>is a collection of stories written by English author Rudyard Kipling and published in 1894. The main character is a boy named Mowgli, who is raised in the jungle by wolves and then <em>bought </em>by a black panther named Bagheera. Bagheera bought his life with a freshly killed bull and along with Baloo the bear began teaching him the Law of the Jungle. A part of the Law is that he must not eat cattle because a bull was sacrificed for his life.

Law is there to keep society orderly and safe. This is why we need to follow it. The jungle described in <em>The Jungle Book </em>is also a form of society. It has its rules that need to be followed. Bagheera introduces these rules to Mowgli, who obeys them and remains safe that way. This is the message of the given passage.

Trying putting yourself in the shoes of an out-group member. What does your in-group look like from that perspective
mrs_skeptik [129]
From an out groups perspective depending on what type of people they are they could be considered mean, or crazy silly goofy or really settle people but from the out groups perspective they’ll never actually truly know your group so they can only place judgment for what they see and it could be many things as well as just being a overall good friend group
