Which sentence in this excerpt from John Galsworthy’s narrative essay “Gone” reflects his view that there is no afterlife? An ol

d woman and Mrs. Herd's sister were in the sitting-room; they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. Though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crow's flight, we had never seen Mrs. Herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business—a slight, dark, girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that all is over except just the passing. She lay in a double bed, with clean white sheets. A white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bowl, the small lattice window open. Though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much; for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. In her face, as in poor Herd's, was that same strange mingling of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. Yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: What was the good, the kindness, in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? But what else could we do? We could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. …And the night was so beautiful, so utterly, glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence, and its trees clothed in moonlight. All was tranquil as a dream of sleep. But it was long before our hearts, wandering with poor Herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream.

<span>We could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. …

The narrator is making it clear here that he does not believe in an after life. He says that he cannot assure Mrs. Herd that she was going anywhere in an "after state" because he thinks people who say things like that are being 'glib' and 'naive'. </span>

how do I write a paraphrase on whether you have morning sickness, motion sickness, or nausea from chemotherapy or radiation ther
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

You basically just did. I'm very interested in the answer to this. I'm a male so morning sickness is not ever going to be a problem. I don't get motion sickness, so that's not a problem. However, chemotherapy is my biggy in this area.

You almost have everything in the paragraph you used to ask the question.

Is the help the same for all the problems you have listed, or are they (hopefully) different for each problem?

All you need to do is tell what is in the refrigerator that will help. That's it.

If you suffer from motion sickness, morning nausea, tendencies to vomit as a side effect from chemo or radiation therapy, then help may be behind your refrigerator door. Try _________ and see if it helps you get through the day. You should limit your first attempt to _______ (1/2 or 1/3 or 1/4 of a a cup -- choose a size). Your symptoms should at least lessen within ___ what time period?

If what you take out of the refrigerator is different for each thing you've listed, then

Any activity you do for please or medically because you must that results in nausea or worse, you could try the following to help you.

For morning sickness, try _______.

For Motion sickness, try _______.

For Chemo or radiation therapy, try _______.

All of these can be found in a moderately stocked refrigerator or kitchen pantry. All should be used in moderation to see if they help reduce the nausea or if they just make it worse. The standard should be about ______ cup.
