How does the author describe Delia’s character? Why is establishing this important to the story

English

Karolina [17]2 years ago
4 0

It seems that Delia, a “habitually meek” character, as is stated in the story, has endured years of domestic abuse from her husband, Sykes. She works tirelessly to take care of the family, with little, if any, input from him, and instead of being appreciative of her efforts, he beats and bullies her without end. I believe that Delia has always been a fighter.  For fourteen of the fifteen years of their marriage, Sykes has beaten his wife, but still she stayed, even though she was supporting him.  If her work taking in laundry has enabled her to keep her house, it's safe to assume she could have survived without Sykes in the house.

Why is Mr.Poe always believing that the children are lying to him about Count Olaf?
elixir [45]

Answer:

Here you go btw love series of unfortunate events

Explanation:

The reason why Mr. Poe always thinks the children are lying is because, he thinks that they are used to their old rich ways, and that he thinks that the change is making the children make stuff up.  Another reason why could be because he thinks the kids want attention, and he could think that the kids just want to live somewhere else.  Also, Mr. Poe thinks that no one would do all of that just for a fortune.  Mr. Poe is really du mb and he needs to open his eyes, and actually try to investigate, and he needs to think better too.

Hope this helps, stay safe, god bless ya'll, and have a Great day!!!

Write an argumentative essay on" if you educate a man you educate an individual but if you educate a woman you educate a whole n
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The old African proverb  “If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate a family (nation)” was a pioneer in its time for realizing the importance of women’s education when men predominated education opportunities. This maxim recognized the benefits of education and has repeatedly become the motivation for global development efforts to offer education opportunities for women. Yet, fundamentally this maxim bears problematic assumptions that further disempower women and reinforce patriarchal stereotypes. This essay seeks to unpack the assumptions behind the proverb by viewing how educating women is believed to lead to the development of the family and nation in the context of sub-Saharan Africa, an area still facing low female literacy rates and high gender disparity in the enrolment of formal schooling.

What is the atmosphere/mood of "The Ransom<br> of Red Chief”?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

<u>Answer</u>:

The mood of the story "The Ransom  of Red Chief” is fun and light.

<u>Explanation</u>:

"The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry is a light, fun and comical story. Though the story is on kidnapping and taking the ransom for a young boy “Johnny Dorset”, but the mood in the story is light. This is because Bill and Sam, the kidnappers are dumb and idiots. Johnny is the devil’s child, he makes the life of kidnappers very miserable. This leads to comic ways in the story.  

Funniest part is when Johnny’s mother, Ebenezer Dorset agrees to take her son back only if Bill and Sam pay her.
