Answer:

It suggests that similar missionary work was causing conflict in other places as well.

Explanation:

In <em>The Man To Send Rain</em> by Marmon Silko, story is told about the beliefs of native American Indians and their conflict with the Christian belief.

Leon discovers his grandfather's body in the field, he wants to bury him according to the Indian customs but his wife Louise is of the opinion that the Catholic priest should be told so he can give him a befitting burial.

Father Paul believes the tradition of Pueblo rituals is pagan and as such, he cannot use the holy water in such a pagan ceremony.

In the process, Father Paul picks up a missionary magazine which suggests that there is other missionary work which are ongoing in other parts and facing opposition by the natives.

Answer:It's the year 2081, and George and Hazel Bergeron have a son, Harrison. Unfortunately for them, the government took him away when he was fourteen years old. See, someone once decided that George Bergeron is of above-average intelligence, so he's had a radio implanted in his ear. Piercing sirens, crashes, and booms go off periodically to hinder his thought process. (His wife, Hazel, on the other hand, is spectacularly average. No handicaps on her.)

Anyway, one night in 2018, the Bergerons are sitting in front of the TV watching ballet—bad ballet, with ballerinas wearing masks to hide their beauty and weights to hinder their grace and strength. This sounds like a bad episode of Minute to Win It, and no one wants to see that.

Ballet is interrupted when one of the ballerinas has an urgent government news announcement to make. Harrison Bergeron has escaped! An escaped convict is just what any boring ballet, opera, or interpretive dance routine needs to liven things up a bit, and boy does it get lively when Harrison himself rips off the door to the stage and storms on screen.

He declares himself Emperor and takes one of the ballerinas as his Empress. Just what this society needs to pull it from its homogenized doldrums: a crazed monarchy.

Anyway, the two of them dance, fly through the air, kiss the ceiling, then kiss each other. There's a whole lot of kissing. But the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers, doesn't seem to care much for kissing (in addition to discouraging strength, intelligence, and beauty), since she shoots them both dead with a shotgun.

The Bergerons' television blows out and goes dark. Must have been a faulty bulb—no way it was government intervention, right? But then it turns out that George had gone to get a beer, so it appears he missed the whole thing. Hazel cries, but soon can't remember why. Life quickly returns to normal

Hi There! :)

What does the Audience learn about Odysseus from his encounters with his shipmate Elpenor and his mother anticlea?

<span>Odysseus and his crew sail to the region of the Men of Winter and, per Kirke's instructions, make a ritual sacrifice for Teiresias. While waiting for Teiresias, Odysseus cuts down the other phantoms that emerge, including Elpenor, who had fallen from Kirke's roof. Odysseus promises him a proper sailor's burial back on Kirke's island. He also sees his dead mother, Antikleia. Odysseus thought his mother was alive so he is pretty sad and begins to cry.</span>

Which statement best explains Mathilde's misery at the start of “The Necklace”?
Andru [333]

Answer:

She feels as if she deserves more than she has.

Explanation:

Mathilde was never content with what she had. She was married to Mr. Loisel, a man who worked at the Department of Education, and who could afford the basic things of life for her. However, she was not satisfied with this, but always dreamt of living a luxurious life and owning expensive jewelry.

She learned a hard lesson after she misplaced a jewelry owned by Madame Forestier. She replaced it with the real and expensive type but was shocked to learn ten years later, that that was only a costume.
