Answer:

To attempt or pursue a futile course of action, often by making some kind of suggestion or request.

Explanation:

Barking up the wrong tree is an idiomatic expression in English, which is used to suggest a mistaken emphasis in a specific context. The phrase is an allusion to the mistake made by dogs when they believe they have chased a prey up a tree, but the game may have escaped by leaping from one tree to another.

<span>It’s impossible to paint Cooper as a racist or white supremacist as the book is drenched in Leatherstocking’s contempt for white farmers destroying the forest (‘their wantonness and folly’ Ch XIX; the ‘wasteful temper of my people’ Ch XX), the arbitrariness of white law, the uselessness of white learning – and the Bushes, representatives of white settlers, are depicted as violent, stupid, criminal lowlifes</span>

Write an essay about slow down​
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Paul Simon and John Lennon knew what they were talking about, but it seems that the world today doesn’t take much heed of their words. Life today is fast, incredibly fast. Many of us lead busier lives than we would like – we get up earlier in the morning and go to bed later at night to try and cram as much into our days as possible. We are constantly contactable be it via phone call . If life continues to speed up at the rate it is currently going, where will it end? What room will be left? Is life just becoming an ever-changing To-Do list of things we need to get through? Will it just become more about the end goal and less about the process? Where is the fun in that?

Gandhi believed that “there is more to life than increasing its speed” and I think we can all safely say, he knew what he was talking about. In recent years, thoughts such as Gandhi’s have sparked a Slow Movement. When a journalist called Carlos Petrini protested about a McDonalds opening in a Piazza in Rome in 1986, he inadvertently started the Slow Food Movement, which has since turned into the Slow Movement, the premise being that faster is not always better and that it’s more important to savour the hours and minutes rather than just counting them. It should however also be acknowledged that it’s not always easy to slow down and savour each moment so it is something that, to begin with, is a conscious effort, but hopefully in time and with practice, moves closer to the unconscious and the automatic.
