The thesis statement is the one regarding the use of the story by O. Henry to show that poverty cannot affect true love becuase it expresses the gist of what O. Henry has wished to convey.  While Jim sells his beautiful pocket watch in order to buy Della a brooch for her beautiful long hair, Della sells her hair so as to be able to afford a chain for Jim's pocket watch. Thus, their material gifts are rendered useless, but still each has proved to the other that they would rather give up their most prized possessions in order to please the other, and by doing so prove their mutual love. This discovery is the true gift that they both receive from the Magi on tht Christmas day.

How does dehumanization and othering impact society?
ch4aika [34]

Dehumanization and othering makes a vast difference on society as a whole. It will not only change how we see our selves but what we see, believe, or even care. Humans are a very emotional, vulnerable, and some could say too dependent. It will cause, little to no uproar, as such feeling would feel restricted, so no one would say out loud, what is wrong with people or them or really do anything. because the people of that society, would feel restricted and have a invisible wall around them restricting them from normal freedom and will doubt them selves a lot. Simply we would be robots, with a mind that is not open for suggestions or something new. No one would strive to be better or put goals for them selves or even care for there lives. Thought we will not be emotionless, some would want to have fake happiness, feel superior or really do anything to gain a glimpse of there emotions. This society will lead to more psychopaths and sociopaths and even more harm to ourselves to try to gain that glimpse of emotion.

Identify the italicized word according to its class in structural linguistic.
DanielleElmas [232]

The correct answer is 'empty word', because such words don't really have an important meaning, they are there just as grammatical links or markers. They only have grammatical function, and no meanings in themselves.

The other options are incorrect, 'there' doesn't fit in any of them.

1.) Horatio is the one to tell Hamlet of his father's ghost in the first Act of the play. What does Shakespeare indicate by maki
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

A.) Horatio can be trusted.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the story of a young prince and his desire to avenge the death of his father at the hands of his uncle who had also claimed the throne. The play deals with themes of family, love, gender, insanity, appearance vs reality, supernatural, etc.

In Act I, it was Horatio along with Bernardo and Marcellus who first spotted the ghost of the dead king. And Horatio also revealed to the young prince Hamlet about his father's ghost. By this, Shakespeare seems to indicate that Horatio will be a trusted aide and guide to Hamlet.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
