The irony is both of them sold their most prized possessions to get the other a special christmas present, however both of their presents are designed for the prized possession each one sold.
This is critic as both characters realised that the other person would give up their prized possession for them to be happy. This is a key message sent by the author through this book. They are wise as they know that people should be more valued over possessions.

Describe, in your own words, the meaning of angst in relation to an artist’s temperament and expectations of success. Your respo
natima [27]
Well, angst is a complex and complicated emotion. One might even say this emotion could result in spite which often drives artist in creating high expectations of success. This spite would come from the deep feeling of dread that is angst for if one feels imminent doom than they'd feel the need to defend or prove themselves. On the other hand one might say angst could hold an artist back in their work allowing the angst to lead to pure depression therefore lacking or having no motivation to complete or even start a work. Some achieve great works due to pure angst. Take Edgar Allen Poe for example, a man ridden with angst who created terrifying yet magnificent stories such as "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart". Angst is not what defines an artist temperament nor expectations of success for it is the artist that determines how their angst is channeled into such things.

Pick any reading and describe a theme or central idea it has in common with the excerpt above. What issue is Powel commenting on
kobusy [5.1K]

Troy Davis was not allowed to submit to the lie detector to prove his guilt before being executed, as a last resort to avoid lethal injection. His defenders accused the Court of racial discrimination.

Davis´s attorney, Stephen Marsh, has commented that the Georgia department of corrections rejected the request to take the polygraph test. However, until the last minute Davis, did not recognize himself guilty of the murder of police officer Mark McPhail in 1989.

In spite of the doubts about the sentence, lack of real evidence of Davis´s participation in that murder and numerous social protests, the supreme court of the United States rejected the last request of clemency.

In both cases we can infer, although the country fights in order to defeat the racism, is a currently present problem.
