What is the author's tone of this paragraph from "The Gift of the Magi" (Hint: This occurs at the very end of the story when Del

la and Jim realize that they traded their prized possessions for each other.)?
The magi, as you know, were wise men—wonderfully wise men—who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. Of all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi.

Contact [7]
<span> Athens moved from being ruled by a king to being ruled by a small number of wealthy, land-owning aristocrats. Aristotle’s Constitution of the Athenians, a description of Athenian government, says that the status of “King” became a political office, one of three “Rulers” or “Archons” under the new system, and Athens came to be governed by the King Archon, the War-Lord, and the Archon. “Appointment to the supreme offices of state went by birth and wealth; and they were held at first for life, and afterwards for a term of ten years.” Later, six other Archons were added to the role. These Nine Archons ruled the Athenians, along with the Council of the Areopagus, which consisted of all former Archons, serving on this board for life.<span>

3. How does the setting in paragraphs 26-27 help develop the<br> plot?<br> The last dog
balandron [24]

The setting in paragraphs 26 and 27 helps to the development of the plot because it provides the story with an interesting twist and it arises a conflict.

The last dog is a short story by Katherine Paterson, in this story, humans live in a sealed dome and are not allowed to go outside as it is considered to be dangerous.  In this context, one curious man decides to leave the dome and explore the outside world.

In paragraphs 26 and 27 of this story, the narrator describes how the main character Brocks finds some hills with trees and later a brook. This finding is extremely interesting because the character had been through trees and freshwater did not exist anymore, and therefore he is quite surprised to find these elements.

This discovery helps develop the plot of the story because it is an unexpected twist and it arises a conflict because the character starts questioning previous ideas such as:

  • Considering the outside as dangerous.
  • Believing life is not possible outside the dome.
