Answer:

From the beginning it was his intention to have her killed by Lennie.

Explanation:

. From the beginning it was his intention to have her killed by Lennie. Lennie has to do something terrible and unforgivable in order for George to decide to shoot him. This is what the story is about: a man kills his best friend out of compassion. Naturally we feel sorry for Curley's wife--but Steinbeck doesn't want us to feel too sorry for her because that would make us feel less sorry for Lennie as well as for George. Steinbeck inserted that memorable scene in which the girl frightens and humiliates Crooks in order to make her seem somewhat less sympathetic. Otherwise she is just an unfortunate, unhappy, very young girl who is an innocent victim of Curley, Lennie, and an underprivileged background. Steinbeck was trying to make the girl seem like a real person, trying to make her sympathetic but not too sympathetic, cruel but not too cruel, immoral but not too immoral. He did not want her to steal the spotlight from Lennie. If we feel too sorry for Curley's wife when she is killed, then we won't feel sufficiently sorry for Lennie when he gets killed; we would feel that he got just what he deserved. That would spoil Steinbeck's great dramatic ending, which was what he was aiming for from the time he wrote the first sentence of his book. Of Mice and Men is George and Lennie's story.

In the movie "Mail Order Wife" ..
atroni [7]

The movie, 'Mail order Wife' challenged stereotypes about Asians and Asian Americans as an Asian American called Adrian, orders an Asian wife, Lichi via mail which caused a huge challenging stereotype for Lichi.

<h3>What is stereotyping?</h3>

This is an unfair belief that all people or all things with a particular characteristic behave in a certain way and are all the same.

In the movie, it is seen that Adrian who orders a wife through mail treated Lichi unjustly as against what she believes and this caused friction and tension which led to unreconciliable difference and made Lichi seek 'protection' with Andrew.

Hence, this happening made Lichi believe all Asian American men are the same, leading to a challenging stereotype she had to deal with and a difficult time adjusting to the place she found herself.

HELP PLEASE!!

Answer: The sentence contains a single independent clause.

Explanation: There is only one subject+predicate pair in this sentence: "We" (subject pronoun) forms the whole subject, while the predicate is formed by "took" (verb) + "a long walk" (main noun phrase of the object taken by the verb <em>took</em>) + "along the path" (prepositional phrase modifying <em>walk</em>) + "beside the bubbling stream" (prepositional phrase modifying <em>path</em>). There are no other verbs, therefore this is a simple sentence (simple sentences always consist of a single independent clause).

Problems that may result from taking revenge would be potentially creating more problems between people. It is better to be the bigger person, accept and leave a situation as it is.

Read the passage.
vichka [17]

The correct answer is letter C. In the passage from “The Rescue Mission”, the author has chosen the present tense to make the narrative appear more vividly by assimilating it to the here-and-now of the speech act. This use of the present tense is also called <u>Conversational and Narrative Historical present</u>. It describes the past as if it is happening now. These sentences are clear examples of this use in the setting: “I’ve got the clips, bungee cord, vests, and basket, and the rest of the equipment is onboard.”; “I have to get my head in the zone because this chopper is heading into stormy conditions, and it will feel as though things are happening at supersonic speed when we get to the site.”
