English

Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

"<em>I open my bag, spread out my little red kayak, and start to  pump it up"</em>

The last line indicated excercebates to the underlying tension in the scene.

Salak had purposed in her mind to journey down the Timbuktu river in Africa.

Prior to this scene, she had been advised severally by her guide who even at this point (which is at the edge of the river) says he is unable to proceed any further. According to the narratives, no man had ever completed neither had any woman.

The odds were not in her favour at all.

The more the guide tries to dissuade her, the more her will crystallizes towards the decision to do so.

Finally, in the scene above, she starts to pump the Kayak (a light frame watertight canoe) in readiness to commence the journey amidst degenerating weather conditions.  

Cheers!

Which sentence is written in second-person point of view?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer: The sentence that is written in second-person point of view is D. Wherever you go, there you are.

Explanation: <u>The second-person point of view is the "you" perspective. </u>Unlike the first person point of view,<u> it is used to refer to a person that is not the speaker</u>. Moreover,<u> the second-person point of view can be easily identified due to the use of second-person pronouns</u>, such as "you", "your" and "yourself". D) is the only one that includes the second-person pronoun "you"; therefore, this option is the one that represents the second-person point of view. In contrast, A) and B) are written in third-person point of view and C) in first-person point of view.

Reread Claudius's soliloquy in Act III, Scene 3, beginning "O, my offense is rank . . ." and ending with "All may be well." Brie
sweet [91]

In Claudius's soliloquy, we learn that Claudius did actually kill his brother. In his soliloquy, Claudius talks about his crime, and he says that it "bears the mark of Cain" who also killed his brother. Although we had been suspicious of Claudius throughout the story, this is the moment when our doubts are confirmed. We also learn that Claudius is extremely guilty about his actions, but that he believes that time and God's mercy will eventually help him overcome this feeling of guilt.

More and more people live as sngles or as single parents. Discuss" the advantages and disadvantages of Iving alone. You may incl
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

The figures continue to rise in our society today, the rise in the number of single parents who after a kid or two have decide to breakup and return back to their single days, not only has the figures risen, but there is also a sort of normality being attached to this current trend as people have seem adopt this type of lifestyle. A few reasons why this is happening may be relatively advantageous or seem like a disadvantage from person to person. One of the reasons for the increasing figure, is the quest for freedom, we have continued to preach equality in gender and the fact that a certain party cannot hand in instructions or give restrictions as to where to go, what to wear and others which in a marriage setting is bound to come up. The autonomy enjoyed as a single parent has made it tempting for people to jump out of marriage once they have a kid. On the flip side, this raises a societal and moral concern as this behavior has a bounce back effect on the younger generation and kids whereby things that seem religiously and culturally abnormal are being adopted and incorporated into our daily lives. Also, a large the male gender are rendered almost irresponsible as majority of the kids made through this relationship are being nurtured by the female sex, hence. Strengthening mother - child relationship and a huge void between the child and father.
