English
1 answer:
MrRa [10]4 years ago

A step-dame (stepmother) and dowager (widow holding property for her deceased husband) would make their son (or stepson) wait until they die to inherit all of the land or money.

Theseus is saying that he is tired of waiting for his wedding day to Hippolyta, comparing himself to that 'young man' waiting for his dowager or stepdame to die because to him, Hippolyta is a great fortune.

Which of the following best summarizes "The Land of Red Apples"?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

b) Zitkála-Šá traveled with several other children to a missionary school in the east. She was treated much differently at school than at her home, which caused her anxiety and pain. Her first night at the school, she cried herself to sleep, grieving the absence of her mother and aunt.

Explanation:

The arrival of Sa's at school was traumatic. All the kids got haircuts. Only enemy-captured cowards got haircuts in Dakota culture. Zitkala-Sa hid in a vacant room. The school personnel brought her out, strapped her to a chair, and chopped off her braids as she wailed. She later said that school employees didn't care about her sentiments and treated children like "little animals."

After a few years, Zitkala-Sa was allowed to visit her mother during school breaks. Her mother urged her to quit school during the visit. Later, she said, visiting home was sad. The teacher returned. She may have felt that she didn't belong on the reserve, like many children. School altered her.

Write a letter to your friend who is abroad describing him about your culture​
Sergio039 [100]

Your  Address

Street,

City

Date: 28th September 2017

Dear Friend,  

I am writing this letter to tell you about the culture of my country as you mentioned earlier in your letter that you are planning to visit my country. So this letter has all the information about the culture of my country.

As you most likely are aware, India is known for its Unity in Diversity. Every last part of India has an alternate language, diverse food, distinctive dances, distinctive dress and distinctive blessings from Mother Nature. Give me a chance to inform all the more regarding South India. South Indians, for the most part, eat rice. The dance of Tamil Nadu is Bharathanattiyam.  

Each move in the dance contains a concealed importance. While Ladies wear Sarees, Men wear Dhoti. Tamilians communicate in Tamil, Keralites communicate in Malayalam and so on.  

I guarantee you, India is an awesome spot to spend your vacation. My leisure activities are to peruse books, paint, and to gather coins. In the event that I locate an uncommon coin someplace, instantly I get it. In my extra time, I either read books or I do some depiction. I have three books brimming with my accumulation of my works of art.  

I anticipate your visit.  

Awaiting your reply anxiously.

Yours Faithfully

Your Name
