What explanation does the demon's prisoner give the brothers for why she collects her lovers' rings?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The rings that she collects from her lovers is a simple proof to show that women can do whatever they want and attain whatever they desire.

Explanation:

In "The Arabian Nights", the two brothers had just experienced that their respective wives had cheated on them. Shahrayar's wife had slept with the cook while Shahzaman's wife had slept with a slave. So, they both secretly went to the desert to look for a man whose life is more wretched than theirs.

But their encounter with the genie/ demon shows that their lives are not that wretched as they thought. The genie had a beautiful as a wife, but enclosed in a glass box. Whenever he sleeps, she comes out and sleep with other men, 96 in all. She also sleeps with the two men making the count to 98 for she keeps the rings of her victims/ conquests. She declares "<em>to think that jealousy and restraint can preserve a  mistress, notwithstanding thy vigilance</em>." This decision to collect the rings of the men (most probably as trophies) is proof to show that women can do whatever they want and are capable of achieving whatever they desire.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Easier,  about the same distance away, differences in apparent brightness are directly related to differences in intrinsic brightness of these stars

Explanation:

When Henrietta Leavitt discovered the period-luminosity relationship, she used Cepheid variable stars that were all located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). It was easier to compare Cepheids in the LMC rather than those located in the Milky Way Galaxy because they are all about the same distance away. As a result differences in apparent brightness are directly related to differences in intrinsic brightness of these stars.

What type of retirement do social workers get? or do they get any retirement at all? help please
N76 [4]

Answer:

Public service workers often are not covered by Social Security, so their employer (state or local government) does not pay into Social Security as other employers do. Since the worker does not qualify for Social Security benefits, his/her pension is the only source of retirement security.
