Lavigne and the French soldiers

They symbolize France’s war efforts. Maupassant uses satire to point out their flaws.

Like other French peasants, they dislike the Prussians.

They are far from noble, making fun of and being cruel to even the members of their own militia.

Lavigne and the other French soldiers take credit for capturing the soldiers, but they only captured the soldiers in an ironic, humorous manner, while Berthine is the true hero.

“‘Now we’ll give these German gentlemen something to drink.’ A shout of frenzied admiration, mingled with uproarious laughter, burst from his followers. And the commandant organized relays of men, who were to relieve one another every five minutes. Then he commanded: ‘Pump!!!’”

“He had accomplished about two-thirds of his journey when a long, crimson flame shot forth from the vent-hole. A loud report followed, and the fat baker fell face forward to the ground, uttering a frightful scream. No one went to his assistance. Then he was seen to drag himself, groaning, on all-fours through the snow until he was beyond danger, when he fainted. He was shot in the upper part of the thigh. After the first surprise and fright were over they laughed at him again.”

“Monsieur Lavigne was decorated as a reward for having captured a Prussian advance guard, and the fat baker received the military medal for wounds received at the hands of the enemy.”

The idea of supply and demand is based on the development of A. business decisions in a thriving economy. B. sufficient products
hichkok12 [17]

The answer is B: sufficient products to meet consumer wants.

The law of supply and demand, from classic economics, is the idea that products that a society may deem valuable and desirable will be supplied by a free market economy (ideally devoid of governmental intervention). These two forces, in theory, are said to be correlated and, through what Adam Smith called “the invisible hand”, can find equilibrium or balance.

How are the values of the earliest Americans apparent in American society today? What do we do or believe that echoes the concer
Lunna [17]

Answer: Individualism, Equality, Informality, The Future, Change, Progress, Achievement, Action, Work, and Materialism, Directness, Assertiveness, and Time. It was easy to live together. The Indians helped the settlers by teaching them how to plant crops and survive on the land. But the Indians did not understand that the settlers were going to keep the land. This idea was foreign to the Indians.Their settlements and social groups were impermanent, and communal leadership (what little there was) was informal. After European contact, some Great Basin groups got horses and formed equestrian hunting and raiding bands that were similar to the ones we associate with the Great Plains natives.

The correct answers are options: A, C and F.

The reasons why the Congress wanted a written Declaration of Independence were:

A) The colonies wanted help and support from other nations in Europe, to reassure their strength and authority.

C) The soldiers needed a good reason for fighting and dying.

F) They hoped that more colonists would join the revolution to be finally free and independent from England.

However, even though they wanted it written quickly, It took almost a month for the Congress to vote for independence from the first motion.
