Discuss the significance of Mr.douglas brand and the moat [ valley of fear ]

English
1 answer:
JulijaS [17]3 years ago

Answer:

The significance of Mr. Douglas brand and the moat lies in the cover that Detective Birdy Edwards needs to protect his identity from being discovered by the Scowrers, a murderous secret society that was busted by Edwards in the US.  The moat offers physical protection to the house where Birdy Edwards lives.  So, both Mr. Douglas brand and the moat are shields from the relentless enemies who were after his life after they were released from prison.

Explanation:

The "Valley of Fear" was the fourth and final Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  It was written about 1914.  It chronicled the events that led to the discovery of Birdy Edwards, a Pinkerton detective in Chicago, who ran to England to escape from the murderous hands of a notorious gang.  He was not aware that the society had members spread over the globe, including Professor Moriarty.  The secret society never forgives and the members never forget.  That is why they traced Edwards to England, though he had earlier disguised his identity by answering Mr. John Douglas and carved out a residence surrounded by a moat for physical protection.

Explain how the link between aroma and memory can benefit the fast food industry.
OverLord2011 [107]
The flavor of food is mostly aromas that are released during chewing.

Flavor and aroma are tied together that makes the ability to detect and distinguish specific aroma and flavor components crucial to our sensory analysis. It's no wonder that food manufacturers are very picky about how their products smell. The aroma of a food does not only enhance flavor, it can also enhance the mood. In fact, if someone memorizes and knows the aroma of a food, he/she will be able to distinguish where they bought it and can easily determine what type of food. For this fact, the aroma of a food is the primary concern of the food manufacturers to satisfy and guarantee their customers.

Read "The Story of an Hour." This story met with significant indifference or hostility when Kate Chopin wrote it in 1894. As you
leva [86]

Answer and explanation:

Note: I'm writing according to my responses while I read the story. Feel free to change anything to make it true for yourself.

Unlike readers at the time when the story was published, I've found it amusing and intelligent. At first, I assumed Mrs. Mallard would be another simple, shallow, tragic character. Her reaction after hearing of her husband's presumed death seemed quite normal, since she looked devastated. For an instant I thought she would die from her heart condition even though her sister and friend were careful while giving her the news. However, to my delight and surprise, Mrs. Mallard finds enlightenment at that sad moment. Her house and her husband have meant confinement for her. She has been obedient, submissive, impotent her whole life. As she locked her bedroom door, I thought she wouldn't know what to do without Mr. Mallard. But she looked out the window, saw the beautiful world that did not stop existing due to her husband's death, and realized she was finally free. The story suddenly got a thousand times more interesting. This woman, this seemingly shallow character, is actually deep and colorful. She has a will to live that had been buried. Now that the main symbol of her oppression as a woman is gone, she is at liberty to feel, think, and do as she pleases. It was comically tragic when she indeed died of her heart condition upon finding out her husband was alive. I hoped the story would end with Mrs. Mallard leaving the house and heading towards her new life. Still, the irony of the situation is amusing. Other characters assumed she died of happiness when we, the readers, know she died of disappointment.
