How can I describe a death march for a topic sentence
madam [21]
After the April 9, 1942, U.S. surrender of the Bataan Peninsula on the main Philippine island of Luzon to the Japanese during World War II (1939-45), the approximately 75,000 Filipino and American troops on Bataan were forced to make an arduous 65-mile march to prison camps. The marchers made the trek in intense heat and were subjected to harsh treatment by Japanese guards. Thousands perished in what became known as the Bataan Death March.

In 1578, a high lama of the gelug school was given the name dalai lama.” what does the sino-mongolian translation of dalai mean
Anestetic [448]
There are two meanings of the Sino-Mongolian translation of the word dalai in English - this word can mean both "ocean" and "<em><u>big</u></em>." In the context of Dalai Lama's title, it would be better to chose the latter meaning, given that the word Lama means "master, guru."
So the literal translation of the title would be - big master.

Can I have advice please it would be greatly appreciated!
Ahat [919]

Answer:

I mean if he‘s staring at you, I would say yes, he does like you. Although the age difference, many married couples have the same age difference Or even more, it can be anywhere from 1-5 age difference. So we don’t have to worry about that. If your comfortable sitting on the bed with him, it could also mean that you could develop soemthing towards him ;). If he shy, he fine. Thats what we all do, like as a boy myself, we always act shy and more kind toward the person we like and we act tough when they look at us and we know. So if you like him I think it would be a perfect relationship.
