Answer:

An epidemic of fever sweeps through the streets of 1793 Philadelphia in this novel from Laurie Halse Anderson where "the plot rages like the epidemic itself" (The New York Times Book Review).

During the summer of 1793, Mattie Cook lives above the family coffee shop with her widowed mother and grandfather. Mattie spends her days avoiding chores and making plans to turn the family business into the finest Philadelphia has ever seen. But then the fever breaks out.

​

Disease sweeps the streets, destroying everything in its path and turning Mattie's world upside down. At her feverish mother's insistence, Mattie flees the city with her grandfather. But she soon discovers that the sickness is everywhere, and Mattie must learn quickly how to survive in a city turned frantic with disease.

Answer and Explanation:

Phoenix can be compared to the bird Phoenix in Egyptian mythology, which burns itself and changes into ashes and again recreates new life.

In every difficulty, Phoenix seems to be losing hope such as burning of Phoenix bird into ashes and when she gets victory over the obstacles, she seems to be regaining her hope such as recreation of life of Phoenix from ashes.

Phoenix Jackson, as a character, can be seen as the epitome of what the phoenix symbolizes which are hope, security, and a promise for the futur and Her journey is reminiscent of the legend of the phoenix; she goes through many changes and overcomes the obstacles that await her, she sometimes behaves in a way we would equate with an animal, and even in her appearance we can find similarites.

The red rag holding her hair back..... as well as the hair itself, which is said to be golden in color.

Write a friendly letter of request to your uncle in London , asking whether you can stay with him briefly next year while you ar
NeTakaya

Answer: Many countries and companies have rules against nepotism- favors from relatives. We all know it happens, but it would not be a good idea to leave a paper trail of evidence.

I would hope you have a good enough relationship with your uncle so he really could and would help you. If so, you should have a good enough relationship to talk to him on the phone.

Call him on the phone, ask him about the best way to get a job where he currently works—- don’t just tell him you need a job there. This way you are not putting him on the spot in an uncomfortable and possibly illegal situation or one that at least violates company policy. Let him come up with his own ideas on helping you. If he is well enough connected, he might in fact be able to get you a job behind the scenes. At minimum he can probably tell you the inside scoop on the best way to apply and have a decent chance of hire for that particular company, saving you lots of wasted time.

I would not write a letter telling him you “need” employment there. You are putting him in a very uncomfortable situation, where he is being pressured to make a choice: put his own reputation and position on the line professionally or choose not to help extended family and it is being done in writing. A more informal approach would be to request his help- he can then choose the best way to use his knowledge and influence to help a relative in a way that will reflect his true confidence in your abilities and worthiness. If I personally had a niece or nephew go the letter route, I would likely see it as an attempt at coercion coming from a sense of entitlement, almost blackmail, and likely that relative would not have any chance of getting my support

Explanation: good luck!

When can the way we look at things lead to growth, and when could they hold us back?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The way we look at things help us grow because we understand how we managed it in the beginning. Being able to manage it and control everything is a type of growth, but through that growth, there will be a lot of failures, but without those failures, you won't be able to notice the mistakes you've been making. So don't be scared of making mistakes, take them in as a good thing since you will learn from them and not repeat them.
