"Chopin both begins and ends with a statement about Louise Mallard's heart trouble, which turns out to have both a physical and a mental component. In the first paragraph of "The Story of an Hour," Chopin uses the term "heart trouble" primarily in a medical sense, but over the course of the story, Mrs. Mallard's presumed frailty seems to be largely a result of psychological repression rather than truly physiological factors. The story concludes by attributing Mrs. Mallard's death to heart disease, where heart disease is "the joy that kills." This last phrase is purposefully ironic, as Louise must have felt both joy and extreme disappointment at Brently's return, regaining her husband and all of the loss of freedom her marriage entails. The line establishes that Louise's heart condition is more of a metaphor for her emotional state than a medical reality."

2. Why would the llama have been something that an Inca artist would have created? can someone please help

daser333 [38]

Answer: Inca art often depicted llamas because llamas were such big parts of the Incas lives. Their whole civilization was largely dependent on llamas.

Explanation:

Llamas were the most important domestic animal in the Inca civilization. They used the llama's wool for warmth, they used the llama dung for fertilizer in their crops, they used llamas as a source of food, the llamas carried packs during long trips and they were even used in sacrifice rituals!

I actually have a llama. He protects our goats from mountain lions, so the Incas might have used llamas to protect their sheep or whatever too. :)

I hope this helps.

How would you cook meat to ensure that the roast is tender but not greasy?

babunello [35]

Sear the meat:

Cooking meat such as filet mignon:

Pat the meat dry with paper towels
Let sit for 20-30 minutes
Preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC)
Season liberally with salt and pepper. Cover all sides with seasoning
Heat up an oven safe pan and keep on high for 5 minutes until scorching hot. Add a tablespoon of oil
Once you see the oil start to smoke, add the meat to the pan. Do not touch the meat until the crust has formed, about 2-3 minutes.
Use tongs and flip the steak.
Start to add some butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan to create more flavor to the meat.
Once the butter is completely melted, start spooning it on top of the meat for 2-3 minutes.
Put the pan in the oven right away and cook:

6 minutes - rare
7 minutes - medium rare
8 minutes - medium
9 minutes - medium well
10 minutes - well

Take the pan out of the oven and gently put the meat on a cutting board.
Leave for 10 minutes before slicing to have a tender steak.

What does piggy say about jack's feelings for him and for ralph? what conclusion does piggy come to? (make sure this is in your

RideAnS [48]

In Chapter Five of Lord of the Flies, after the debacle of the meeting that Ralph has called in order to impress upon the boys the importance of maintaining the fire and to explain that the beast does not exist, disorder reigns as the boys laugh at suggestions of bathroom activities and ignore the logical arguments of Piggy against the beast.

Then, Jack asserts his authority by shouting,

Bollucks to the rules! We're strong,--we hunt! If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down! We'll close in on it and beat and beat and beat--!

With this assertion of brute force, Jack and the hunters move on. Piggy tells Jack that he is afraid of Jack because Jack hates him. He, then, tells Ralph,

I tell you what. He hates you too, Ralph--....You got him over the fire; an' you're chief an' he isn't.

Piggy and Ralph both realize that they are not equipped to deal with Jack and the hunters who are degenerating into savages who have a lust for hunting and are afraid of things in the dark:

The three boys stood in the darkness, striving unsuccessfully to convey the majesty of adult life.

That is Simon, Piggy, and Jack realize that they are unable to make things work: they cannot resolve the conflicts of trying to keep the boys orderly and Jack and Roger and those like them under control.
