in to say: She was a child seldom smiled at. Herfatherleft me before she was a year old. I worked her first six years when there was work, or I sent her home and to his relatives. There were years she had careshe hated. She was dark and thin and foreign‐looking in a world where the prestige went to blondness and curly hair and dimples, slow where glibness was prized. She was a child of anxious, not proud, love. We were poor and could not afford for her the soil of easy growth. I was a young mother, I was a distracted mother. There were the other children pushing up, demanding. Her younger sister was all that she was not. She did not like me to touch her. She kept too much in herself, her life was such she had to keep too much in herself. My wisdom came too late. She has much in her and probably nothing will come of it. She is a child of her age, of depression, of war, of fear. What theme is being expressed in the description above? The foolishness of youth. The reality of motherhood. The value of education. The meaning of beauty. NEXT QUESTION

Describe the character of the father (king)? The princes and the tin box
geniusboy [140]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The character of the father (king) in “The Princess and the Tin Box,” is a supporting role. Not much is mentioned about him but through the story an outline can be drawn. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

James Thurber’s short story “The Princess and the Tin Box,” is written in the form a modern fable. The main character is the Princess who has just turned eighteen years old and spoilt with riches since childhood. The King or the father of the Princess has a minimal role to play. But from the story we can understand that the princess was very dear to him since she was a baby. He provided her with the best of things that included only gold, precious stones etc. All things below this standard was not even kept in the palace grounds. So he basically, kept his daughter lavishly and dependant on others with all the amenities.

Is the trojan war a myth or a legend? support your response with adequate reasons​
Kitty [74]
It is a legend. Legends typically contain a small sliver of truth, but they become misconstrued and distorted over time.

"A legend contains some facts and becomes exaggerated to the point that real people or events take on a 'larger than life' quality. In contrast, a myth isn't based on fact, but is symbolic storytelling that was never based on fact."

- Bismarck Tribune, "Examining the difference between myths and legends"

"... It was an epoch-defining moment in their distant past. As the historical sources - Herodotus and Eratosthenes - show, it was generally assumed to have been a real event."

- BBC Culture, "Did the Trojan War actually happen?"

HELPPPPP MEEEEEEE I REALLY NEED HELLPPP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kay [80]

Ricochet is the rebound that happens when you fire a gun at an object that deflects the bullet. In other words, fire all you want at Sia because anything negative will just be deflected.

Lyrically, Sia’s referring to the criticism and negativity that’s directed at her – the bullets – but she won’t be affected at all. She’s strong and immune to it like titanium is to bullets.

Hope this helps.
