Well, the definition of shrewd is severe, basically.

Porcine means relating to pigs. 
Ursine means relating to bears. 
Vulpine means relating to foxes. 
Lupine means relating to wolves. 

So, bears, foxes, and wolves are shrewd. 

Wolves are the most shrewd. 

So, someone who is shrewd could be described as lupine.

Use your knowledge of plot, theme, and character development to write a brief summary of “Stray.”
Phantasy [73]

In the story, "Stray" Doris finds a cold, shivering puppy that wandered onto the property of Mr. Lacey and his wife, Mamie. They had a daughter named Doris. Icicles hung three feet or more from the overhang of houses, snowdrifts gobbled up autos, and the feathered creatures were so cushioned up they looked comic. They didn't know where it came from, but they did know where it was going. Mr. Lacey wanted to take it out to the pound in the city right away but, the roads were too bad to travel, for many days. However, Doris thought that it was a good dog. Four days passed, and the puppy still didn't complain. Doris knew her parents wouldn't let her keep the puppy because her father was earning so little money. She knew that the puppy was surely going to go to the pound when the weather got better. She did talk to her parents about the dog at dinner once, but they didn't say anything as if they were ignoring her. Doris said, "She's not much trouble" and "I like her" but, Mrs. Lacey just shook her head. Eventually, the time came to bring the puppy to the pound. It was on Saturday when the dog had to leave Doris. She begged to her mom, then her dad, to let her keep the dog. Her mom just told her, "You know we can’t afford a dog, Doris. You try to act more grown-up about this." She was so tragic, everything she could do was cry herself to bed and dream about seeking for something she lost. It was nearly night when she woke up, hungry, but didn't want to face her parents or go through the basement door. When she went down to the kitchen, her parents were almost done with dinner drinking coffee. She made herself a glass of powdered milk and drank it all down. Then, as soon as she started to head out the door, Mr. Lacey asked her if she was going to feed the mutt. Doris was confused and surprised at the same time. She asked Mr. Lacey what he was talking about, and Mr. Lacey told her that the pound was the worst looking place he's ever seen. He couldn't leave an animal there. Not even an ant. Therefore, he brought it back home.

what do you think caused the Salem Witch Trials? Does any one reason stand out to you or do you think it was a combination of fa
valina [46]

I think it was when they started the point of telling stories of the witches and what they did with the people it just started to spook them out and they feared that maybe they were honestly true. And I think at that time it really wasn't the best time to stand out and/or say/do something out of their league because they would think you were a witch.

(And we all saw Sleepy Hollow sooo) :)

Which sentence best describes the impact of ending a story this way
jeka57 [31]

I want to say the answer is A

My explanation:

I don't think it is B because the author mentions how he still hears the dragon in the wind so the knight keeps his sword sharp because he never knows if the dragon will show up again.

I don't think it is C because it suggests he is certain of a peaceful life. Although like mentioned before he keeps his sword sharpened for the thought of a dragon attacking so i think the peaceful life is not certain forever.

Finally I think the answer is not D because it does not portray in the story of the knight being a hero.

Therefor I believe A is left as the best option.

I hope this helps, have an amazing day :)

Which type of logical fallacy do these sentences represent?
seropon [69]
This uses A. non-sequitur logic. 

This is because the second inference does not rely upon the first. Just because someone likes the <em>Star Wars</em> movies does not mean that they also like the <em>Harry Potter </em>movies. These are two unrelated things, so a person does not automatically like both.  <span />
