What can you infer about Sergei's character based on the way he uses his first two wishes?

Sergei uses his first two wishes to wish for 1) to cure the growing cancer in his sister's lungs and 2) to cure 'Sveta's  boy' (his own son) who has an ailment which the doctors think will not allow him to mentally develop beyond his age of three years. We can infer from these wishes that Sergei is a kind-hearted, humble individual who is later hardened in life by his surrounding situations, i.e. living in Russia, as the son of a Zionist etc. We know that of the three wishes that Sergei could ever be granted by the magic goldfish, he uses the first two to help those around him, with little regard for his own self or his personal aspirations.

Answer:

The title of Doris Lessing’s “No Witchcraft for Sale” is ironic because there is witchcraft involved in Gideon’s responses to the scientists.

Explanation:

After the event in this excerpt, and the full recovery of Teddy, The Farquars told around how this "magic" plan of Gideon had made the miraculous cure, then one day a scientist after listening to the story paid The Farquards a visit to their house to know how was the plant used and what plat was it, after not giving direct answers and being evasive Gideon tells the scientist that witchcraft or native plant remedies are not for sale. It is Irony because everyone wanted to pay for something that they couldn't buy and people wanted to sell something that they didn't possess, the only person in known was no interested in being part of it.

In the poem “The Man He Killed', why does the poet wish if he had met his
lora16 [44]

Answer:

"The Man He Killed" was written by the British Victorian poet and novelist Thomas Hardy, and first published in 1902. A dramatic monologue, the poem's speaker recounts having to kill a man in war with whom he had found himself "face to face." Talking casually throughout, the speaker discusses how this man could easily have been his friend, someone he might have, under different circumstances, had a drink with in an "ancient inn." Struggling to find a good reason for shooting the man, the speaker says it was "just so"—it was just what happens during war. The poem thus highlights the senselessness and wasteful tragedy of human conflict, and is specifically thought to have been inspired by the events of the Boer War in South Africa. Effect of war is the major theme of this poem. The poem is about the soldier killing another man because they are fighting on opposite fronts in the war. Ironically, the speaker fails to justify his action. He simply states that the deceased was his foe.

Please help me if you can.

i do think it was the right thing to do, if anyone had found out about their friendship, shmuel would have been killed a lot sooner than he was. Both boys would probably be beat and neither would ever get to see each other again.
