Why does the narrator's mother most likely put the guardian angel picture up outside the narrator's room?
Crank

In "Gravity", by Judith Ortiz Cofer, the narrator's mother most likely put the guardian angel picture up outside the narrator's room c. to remind the narrator of her Puerto Rican roots.

Elenita starts the narration speaking about her bedroom, which is decorated following her style with her books, and her radio. Her mother decorated the house with pictures of saints and angels in what Elenita calls a primitive Puerto Rican style. Elenita took the picture of the guardian angel out of her room. Her mother placed it outside her door so that she sees it every time she goes in or out of her bedroom, to be reminded of her Puerto Rican roots.

in Sherlock holmes hound of the baskervilles, why can no one else see the hounds prints but Charles Baskerville?
OLEGan [10]

The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.

In 2003, the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel."[2] In 1999, it was listed as the top Holmes novel, with a perfect rating from Sherlockian scholars of 100.<span>[3]</span>
