"The Landlady" by Roald Dahl is a story that has a weird unusual hobby of taxidermy. She stuffs dead corpses. This hobby of her and how she deals with death is absolutely scary, at the same time interesting for readers to know her intentions behind it.

Explanation:

Billy, another main character of this story, is 17 and is annoyed by the acts of the Landlady. He thinks her to be odd and manner less as she keeps touching his hands and shoulders while talking to him. Her compliments on his appearance make Billy feel very uncomfortable, every time they have a conversation.

When the story progresses and readers get to know that the Landlady stuffed her dead pets in a briefcase and does the same with human bodies too, readers along with Billy start wondering about what kind of a sinister this woman is. She finally murders both other boys and stuff them like she did with the pets, at the end of the story.

Which excerpt highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life?
matrenka [14]

Answer: The excerpt highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life is the one by Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress."

Explanation: This excerpt from Marvell's famous poem is specifically referring to the ephemeral nature of life, since the speaker is saying that he is constantly hearing the chariot of time - which is fast since it has wings - hurrying near, and eternity is ahead of us waiting for all of us. This poem is, in fact, a call to seize the day (<em>carpe diem</em>) and enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer. The speaker is telling to his coy mistress that if time was unlimited they could wait before courting and loving each other, but it is not, so he is urging her to let him love her.

Based on “The Story of an Hour,” with which statement would Kate Chopin most likely agree?
GREYUIT [131]
The correct answer is D. Marriage restricts one's freedom. This is because of the fact that even though her husband was not a bad man who beat her up or something similar, she was still kind of happy when she heard he died, because she would get to live her life as a free woman, instead of a housewife. This is why it was considered to be a controversial story when it came out.

Please help fast will give 50 points !For this assignment, you will write an evaluation of “Is the World Falling Apart?” Reread
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

In Things Fall Apart and in his later novels, Achebe wanted to counter demeaning and incorrect stereotypes of his people and Eurocentric presentations of the confrontation between the Ibo of Nigeria and the British intruders. In his novels, Achebe admits, he strives for artistic excellence but also wants to give a message. Just as the oral tradition of the Ibo people served their society by sustaining its values, so the modern Ibo, writing in English, should serve Ibo society.  *PLEASE WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS*!

The author's claim is that media reports on violence and mayhem lead people to think the world is getting worse.

Why don't they present shape of the continents fit perfectly into supercontinent
vitfil [10]
The edges of the continents are in a constant state of change caused by the ocean currents. Those currents can bring material with them, making the line more "smooth" and adding land to it, forming the so -called barrier beaches, or the sea can cause the land to fall into the water.

this change of edges over time and tectonic movement mean that the shape of the continents changes all the time: so the continents changed since the time of the split.
