Answer:

He has achieved his goal and can enjoy his success quietly.

Explanation:

Jerry and his single mother were on a holiday in some foreign country. Being the only child, he sometimes find it constricting of his mother being with him in everything he do or wherever he go. On the beach, he had always wanted to be able to enjoy the water without his mother's ever caring watch. On one occasion, he came upon some local boys swimming underwater for long duration, somewhere a bit further away from the beach where his mother was. From then on, he also started to train to hold his breath underwater and pass through the hole of the big rock through which the boys were able to come to the other side of the big rock. On the final day, he did succeed in achieving his goal but only after almost killing himself, tired and strained, with blood coming out from his nose and a gash in his head. But he achieved his goal and can now enjoy his success quietly, thus agreeing to go back home with his mother at the end of the story.

How do you know a story is a folktale
aleksandrvk [35]
A folktale is a type of traditional story that tries to explain something, or which is meant to help people behave well in the world. Such stories usually are fiction<span>-based with magical or supernatural elements, and they often are woven around talking animals, royalty, peasants or mythical creatures. Initially passed down through oral tradition, they were a major means of educating and entertaining prior to the development of printed materials and modern technologies, and they remain instrumental in preserving aspects of the culture in which they develop.</span>

Read these lines from "Annabel Lee" and answer the question.
KonstantinChe [14]
This passage uses repetition to create a haunting effect in two different ways. The first way repetition is used is through literal repetition, repeating the phrase "my darling" and ending both of the final lines with the word "sea". The second form of repetition that creates this effect is the repetition of an idea. A sepulchre is an area where a person is buried, and so is a tomb, so the final two lines have the same meaning. 

The change in end rhyme in from the first two lines to the last two lines is also significant, because it changes the focus of the poem from mourning the person who has been laid to rest, to the place in which she has been laid to rest.

Why has Charlie been asked not to come into the lab after Algernon regresses?​
topjm [15]

Answer:

Because Algernon is missing out on the cognitive progress he has developed and the lab team doesn't want Charlie to believe it will happen to him either.

Explanation:

Algernon is the mouse that served as a guinea pig for the surgical procedure that allowed Charlie to overcome his mental disability. Like Charlie, Algernou greatly improved his cognitive ability, his independence and his ability to solve problems. However, this does not seem to be lasting, as Algernou is losing those skills and returning to his state of mental disability. For this reason, Charlie is not invited to see him, as he may believe that this will also happen to him.
