Answer:

people can lose the ability to think for themselves

Explanation:

Since the beginning of the story, Constantia and Josephine, two daughters of the late colonel, show the inability to decide and think in certain circumstances. They choose not to talk about potential problems and possible solutions, so they rather choose to fight and discuss. Even if they are the responsible ones for their family after their father died, they lost the ability to make decisions and thinking for themselves.

Because it’s pretty hard to walk around with people staring at your "towel-head” and not feel kind of pleased with yourself if you manage to get through the stares and comments with your head held high. That’s when this warm feeling buzzes through you and you smile to yourself, knowing God’s watching you, knowing that He knows you’re trying to be strong and please Him. Like you’re both in on a private joke and something special and warm and extraordinary is happening and nobody else in the world knows about it because it’s your own experience, your own personal friendship with your Creator. I guess when I’m not wearing the hijab I feel like I’m missing out. I feel cheated out of that special bond.

In what sense do the bright colors of autumn dupe us

AlekseyPX

It tricks us because the colors blend with our earth tone colored clothing (accessories also) you could do this test to show you

buy or borrow a shirt that has nothing but autumn leaves on it(I pasted a photo of what it would look like) then take a white undershirt and place autum leafs on it.
Does it not look similar? that's how the bright colors trick our eyes. because of the bright and earth tone colors
