C. Nature is an imposing force that is not meant to be altered. 'The Third Wish' by Joan Aiken is a story that each one of us might've heard of, at least once in our life. It is the famous story of how three wishes that were granted to a person effect his life after they are wished for one after the other.

Explanation:

In this fairy tale, as it seems unreal and impractical for a person to be granted three wishes in real life, the man is given three leaves, each one wish that he can make and fulfill desires that he craves for.

The first wish being for a beautiful wife and the man marries him, he saves two other leaves for later in his briefcase. Later as the story progresses, he realizes a truth of his wife being a swan and uses the second leaf to amke his wife a swan, again.

Despite his deep love and care for his wife, the man (Peters) gives in to the sacrifice of wife as he knows that would make her happy and contented. Here, we can clearly say that the theme of this story can be, Nature is an imposing force that is not meant to be altered - because the King who granted wishes to Peters was only trying to incur changes in how life was supposed to be by making alterations that cannot happen in everyone's life.

It can also be - Love cannot be wished or willed, but must occur naturally. - as this is a realization of Peters in the story when he lets his wife become a swan again.

Short answer:

  • It hurts Waverly when her mother tries to make it look better, so she does not like it.
  • The best torture is not about physical pain; it is about mental torture.

Explain and support your ideas/claims with text evidence.

Her mother does her hair. It can be seen in the discussion. Her mother "twisted and yanked on my thick black hair until she formed two tightly wound pigtails" in the morning. Waverly hated it when her mother did her hair. This text shows Her mother twists and yanks her hair into tight pigtails, indicating she was upset with her hairstyle. She disliked her mother's hairstyle.

"We do torture. best torture. "

Understanding the meaning of a lesson is less important to me than learning it. Throughout the story, Waverly uses a number of methods. It was not the "best torture." Torture does not have to be painful to be effective. Tormenting someone's mind requires great pain. Because he is mentally tortured, Waverly is good at chess. So, her mother was correct when she said that "We torture people all the time." It is the best thing that could happen. " "We do torture." "The best torture," she says, without referring to physical pain. For her, the best way to torture someone is to make them feel bad about themselves. The best torture.

What characteristic of Harry's makes us think that he might be a trustworthy narrator?
scoray [572]

Answer:

He tells us when he has minor flaws such as being afraid.

Explanation:

One of the most common issues making a narrator untrustworthy is his/her bias toward oneself and toward other characters of the story whom he/she likes or does not like.

Most of the time bias is in favor of oneself, in rare cases it may be against oneself - blaming oneself excessively.

Telling one's own minor and/or major flaws is only one of many characteristics to make a narrator trustworthy.

All other options are either insignificant for adjudging him as a trustworthy narrator, or opposite of what makes him trustworthy and neutral.

Second and third options are insignificant (do not contribute in making him neutral narrator)

Fourth option is incorrect because focusing on oneself makes a narrator biased and hence untrustworthy.
