Answer:

The story describes a young middle-class English woman who "had no luck." Although outwardly successful, she is haunted by a sense of failure; her husband is not good and her job as a commercial artist does not earn as much as she would like. Family life exceeds their income and unspoken anxiety about money permeates the home. Her children, a son Paul and her two sisters, feel this anxiety; children even say they can hear the house whispering, "There must be more money."

Paul tells his uncle Oscar Cresswell about gambling on horse races with Bassett, the outfielder. He has been making bets using his pocket money and has won and saved three hundred and twenty pounds. Sometimes he says he is "sure" of a winner for an upcoming race and that the horses he names win, sometimes with remarkable odds. Uncle Oscar and Bassett make big bets on the horses that Paul names.

After more profit, Paul and Oscar arrange to give the mother a gift of £ 5,000, but the gift only allows her to spend more. Disappointed, Paul tries harder than ever to be "lucky". As the Derby approaches, Paul is determined to learn the winner. Concerned about his health, his mother returns home from a party and discovers his secret. He has spent hours riding his rocking horse, sometimes overnight, until he "gets there," to a clairvoyant state where he can be sure of the winner's name.

On the other hand, the pyramid explanation always starts from an important or more pathognomonic point of the analysis, and then it is explained in different aspects. Ideally, the topic of the pyramid peak should be the most relevant and, as it develops, it should cover other less relevant topics, thus considering the less important topics as those of the "base".

Explanation:

Think of a pyramid structure that starts at the top as a single point and expands more as we go to different lower levels.

What is the central idea of women who spoke up
Andrew [12]
In Women Who Spoke Up, they had to fight as hard as they could to be heard or noticed by the government at the time. Women were always kept silent, they had no say in any activities except for chores at home or with children. When the 20th century came around, the women had enough. They spoke about any subject they wanted, no matter what the outcome was. They displayed their true emotions to the public to let everyone know that Women matter. Different kinds of jobs brought together women who had enough. Being in Slavery, journalism, even a labor activist had came with threatening to the women. They had enough, it was time for them to show women’s true colors.

In Ernest Hemingway’s “In Another Country,” why does the major most likely stay away from the hospital for three days?
Mkey [24]

 In Ernest Hemingway’s “In Another Country,” the major most likely stays away from the hospital for three days to mourn the death of his wife.

The major was very scornful towards doctors due to the fact that his injuries were not cured by them and he is skeptical about the fact that machines will succeed in curing the three soldiers who Nick befriended.

The short story “In Another Country,” is about an ambulance corps member in Milan during World War I.
