In 1840, the transcendentalist periodical <em>The Dial </em>was founded, and in that same year it published "Orphic Sayings" by Amos Bronson Alcott.
<em>The Dial </em>was a journal that supported the transcendentalists' philosophy, influenced by Immanuel Kant. Transcendentalism believes in the inherent goodness of people and nature and reinforces the idea that society is capable of corrupting the soul of an individual. Furthermore,<u> "Orphic Sayings" was one of Alcott's contribution to </u><u><em>The Dial. </em></u><em> </em>Alcott's work got favorable reviews and was considered highly valuable for its philosophy. In that way,<u> "Orphic Sayings" was famous for expressing the mystical idealism of the author</u>. The last "Orphic Sayings" was published in 1842.

Read Abalone, Abalone, Abalone, by Toshio Mori
Why does the author describe the extent to which the narrator is puzzled by mr. abe’s collecting?
Why does the author describe the extent to which the narrator is puzzled by Mr. Abe’s collecting?
A. To give insight into the narrator’s culture
B. To explain the narrator’s relationship with Mr. Abe
C. To establish the narrator as unreliable.
D. To make the narrator’s later shift in understanding more significant
Answer: D. To make the narrator’s later shift in understanding more significant
Explanation:
At first, the narrator highlights how much he´s intrigued about why would Mr. Abe keep collecting and polishing abalone shells since his front porch was practically full of them already. This initial mystery becomes more significant when the narrator finds an abalone shell, understands the reason for that practice, and starts a collection of his own.
I would say the most logical one to put in a fictional narrative would be the second one about the sun mocking the moon. personification is seen usually in fictional works, so it would make more sense :) hope this helps!
When you're simplifying equations, you have to collect the like terms (the similar ones, eg- fractions would be like terms, and so would letters).
When you're simplifying, you also have to take note of the operation before the equation.
1) Firstly, collect the like terms of M (M and -4M). As M comes before -4M, you have to add -4M to M. As -4M is a negative, this overwrites the addition, and this becomes M-4M. This then gives you -3M. The same applies to the fractions, as you have -1/6 + 5/6, you have to add 5/6 to -1/6, and this gives you 4/6, or 2/3 simplified. Therefore, you put these together- and this gives you -3M + 4/6, however, you normally have a negative number second, so one this has been rearranged, this gives you 4/6-3m.
2). Same applies to this one, you also have to collect the like terms of W. 2.3W and -3W. You simply have to subtract -3W from 2.3W, and this gives you -0.7W. You now have to collect the numbers, and you have -7 and 8. 8 is a positive, therefore, you have to add 8 to -7, giving you 1. Therefore, when you collect the like terms, this gives you -0.7W+1. As aforementioned, you cannot have a negative first, so one this is rearranged, this gives you 1-0.7W
Hope this helps :)
