Answer:

He shows that Leiningen is a defensive minded strategist willing to do all in his power to protect his plantation from the invading ants.

Explanation:

'Leiningen And The Ants' is the story of a coffee plantation owner called Leiningen who upon hearing that an army of invading ants was coming to invade and destroy his coffee plantation, refused to chicken out and run, but rather chose to employ several defence mechanisms to defend his investment in the plantation.

The water filled ditch (also called Moats) around the plantation was the first  line of defense employed by Leiningen to ward off the ants.

The ditch which was built 12 feet across the plantation was filled with water to act as a barrier to the ants reaching the plantation.

The ants, however, used their bodies to construct a bridge over the ditch on which they were able to invade the plantation

PART B: What effect does the resolution have on the overall meaning of the passage? (for The Yellow Wallpaper)
Mashcka [7]

Though the passage is not provided, the resolution that takes place at the end of the story signifies the narrator's realization of not wanting to live in seclusion, and tear's apart from the yellow wallpaper (assuming she is freeing a lady trapped behind it) and starts creeping on the floor, imitating the free woman, and ultimately climbs upon her unconscious husband, signifying she raising above him.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The story expresses a woman's trapped feelings after giving birth to a child. Her helpless and disorientation of a new phase of life, with a grand responsibility which she has to take up, rearing a child.

In the story, the narrator is found to be undergoing postpartum depression, and how her husband denies her to indulge in things she wishes to do as a course of treatment, as he thinks she has hysteria tendency.

However, remaining in seclusion is doing more harm than treating her, and she starts hallucinating that there is a woman trapped within the yellow wallpaper of the room.

She free's the woman in the end and expresses her own freedom to her husband and climbs over him as he faints and expresses her victory over him.

should other people opinions affect our own choices or destinies ? ( 8 - 10 sentences explaining why or why not ) pls help me w
Virty [35]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Other people’s opinions shouldn’t effect our own choices or destines but there is no way for them not to. What others say shouldn’t influence our actions, decisions, or future especially if it doesn’t effect them in the long run.If a decision has to do with your life you’re the only one who can make a decision about what happens with it. Someone’s opinion should only matter in a situation if the situation has to do with them. Even then it depends on the situation for how highly you weigh their opinion. You can listen to someone’s opinion but their opinion shouldn’t be the sole reason a decision was made. Contrary to that people’s opinions will always influence things we do weather it’s going against someone’s opinion or catering to it. In society opinions are things people worry about constantly and effect highly on everything we do so it’s really hard to out run them. In general opinions shouldn’t dictate anything in someone’s life, but they constant are. It just matters if the person decides if their own opinion matters more than others.
