Answer: D

Explanation: You can use process of elimination to figure out the answer for this one. You do still, of course, need to read the passage. They are asking for a summary of the scene, so something that is brief, but covers all of the points in the excerpt.

A) Anagos notices that Annie's eyes are closed, and he discusses her life in Tewksbury and her time at Perkins.

A does not seem like it would be the answer because of the formatting. In the story yes, Anagnos notices that Annie's eyes are closed, but first he talks about her time at Perkins and what she's accomplished. Not Tewskbury first.

B) Anagos praises Annie's work at Perkins and mentions her previous time in Tewksbury, a town on the Ipswich River.

B is possible, however. In the passage it is established that Perkins is a school, and does not establish that Tewksbury is a town, not a school. Although Anagos does praise Annie's work at Perkins and how far she has come.

C) Anagos is cruel as he expresses doubts about Annie's ability to leave Perkins and begin teaching.

C is almost outright a major no. Anagos does not come off as cruel during the passage, and while he does express concern, he also says her time at Perkins was also tough.

D) Anagos describes Annie's progress at Perkins and her strong will, and he expresses concerns about her attitude.

The timeline is correct, and although it does not cover every little detail of the conversation. It seems like it is the best answer for a summary of the excerpt. And all of the other have already been nixed from a potential correct answer.

Topic : family :D

Family plays an essential role in human lives. It is said that a family is like a tree. There are many branches in the tree. Similarly, in a man’s life, there are many relations in a family such as his wife, his kids, and his parents all are living together. Family members share and discuss everything. They share equal parts of all the responsibilities in a family. In society, there is much need of a good family. It is because the good family makes the social good, and a good community can make a good nation.

Everyone wants a god family, where every member will understand each other better for everything. Even at many issues that happen with other family members, everyone will support each other and get a united family. Every member of the family become happier, and they don’t feel any tension about anything. It is because of the family behind those members. In modern times, people are busy and hardly have time for their family members. People are working and furthering their education among important things to lead a better life. However, a family needs to take some time for each other. Everyone needs to realize that there is nothing that is as essential as family. Also, it is essential to make sure that, you need to find some time to spend with the family members as a family.

Compare and contrast ancient tales "the brave little parrot " and " if not higher".Explain specific moral,spritual and ethical a

marishachu [46]

Answer:

"The brave little parrot" represents Buddha in an animal form. Behind its nature is the foundation of love. Inspired to solve immediate problems in its environment, it fruitlessly tried to extinguish the fire burning a whole forest by dripping water from the ocean. It did not wait for the super savers, but acted with its little resources to eventually drive the big God to tears, which came down as a rainfall to quench the fire and joyfully restored the environment for the sake of the desperate animals inhabiting it.

On the other hand, "if not higher" depicts the sudden disappearance of the Rabbi during the Penitential service. The Rabbi did not disappear into heaven during the service but went to the wood to cut firewood for some sick woman who needed the warmth from a fireside. Truly, the Rabbi ascended into the highest heavens, by allowing himself to be driven by love. God will answer his prayers readily because he is practical and knows what it means to answer the prayers of needy people.

The moral, spiritual, and ethical teachings in these ancient tales are comparable, with the contrast existing only in the personalities involved in the tales. Buddha is supposed to a God, but he came in the nature of a parrot. The Rabbi is a minister of God, who directs the people's prayers to God, but he tries his best to solve people's problems, at least in the name and for the sake of God.

Everyone needs to make a difference in our world with our little resources. When we try, who knows, God will come to our aid to solve the big problems which we cannot handle.

We can turn our long prayers to little kindness and love here and thereafter. They are more powerful and move God because He dwells in love.

Explanation:

"The brave little parrot" was written by Martin Rafe, 1998. Its teaching will help children to understand the important of sharing love.

Like the "if not higher" short story by I.L. Peretz which depicted the disappearance of the Rabbi during the Penitential service, as an ascent into heaven, these tales have rich moral, spiritual, and ethical lessons for everyone interested in living a "good samaritan" life.
