In "Two Friends," Maupassant tells the story of two Frenchmen who meet a sad end. The two old friends meet randomly in the street one day and decide to have a drink and go fishing. The two are French soldiers fighting in the Franco-Prussian War. They go fishing to get a brief break from all the stress.

While they are fishing, they are caught by enemy (Prussian) soldiers. The soldiers say they can either execute them or let them live -- IF they give them some information about the French troops. Of course, neither man wants to be guilty of treason, and so they are shot by the troops.

To best answer the above question about their friendship, we have to read the given lines carefully and eliminate any which does not work.

Answer C. is clearly incorrect, as the two do not set out to be heroes. The two only want to escape the stress of the war by fishing for a couple of hours.

Answer B. is also incorrect as well. Perhaps their friendship does "transcend death" -- however, the fact that they say farewell and tremble does not indicate this.

Answer D. is partially correct. The two have been friends for many years and are willing to die for the good of their country. However, their final words do not necessarily indicate that they are honored to die for their country. Instead, their final words almost indicate they are laughing at the irony of getting killed just for fishing.

Answer A. best describes the nature of their friendship. They are such good friends that they do not even need to talk; instead, they can sit in silence. Therefore, option A. is the best answer to this question.

Answer:

Spatial order.

Explanation:

A speech is said to be organized in a spatial order when the main ideas or points for a speech follow a directional pattern or towards space.

This simply means that a spatial order involves organizing the main points in a directional pattern, according to their geographical relationships or towards space, such as from top to bottom, left to the right

For instance, the main points for a speech about the components of a medieval coat of armor is arranged in a spatial order as;

I. The head was protected by a helmet.

II. The torso was protected by shoulder pieces, palates, a breastplate, a skirt of tasses, and a tuille.

III. The arms and hands were protected by brassards, elbow pieces, and gauntlets.

IV. The legs and feet were protected by cuisses, knee pieces, jambeaux, and sollerets.

A spatial order involves using a set of transitive words or phrases such as, above, behind, in front, beneath, near, to the right or left of, alongside, farther along etc. It is also used to give a description of the logical progression of something in relation to another.

Thesis in the hate u give?

inna [77]

Khalil’s shooting and the ongoing investigation of Officer Cruise put the theme of injustice at the forefront of the novel. The fact that Khalil was unarmed and did not threaten the officer makes his murder unjust. The police are unjust at other points, too, such as when they force Maverick to the ground and pat him down. Race is tied into this theme of injustice as well, since pervasive racism prevents African-Americans from obtaining justice. Starr and Maverick in particular are focused on bringing justice not only for Khalil but also for African-Americans and other oppressed groups, such as the poor. The activist group that Starr joins is called Just Us for Justice because it fights against police maltreatment on the basis of race. At the end of the novel, Starr accepts that injustice might continue but reinforces her determination to fight against it.

A wet fertile piece of land in the desert is called a mirage.

cupoosta [38]

That would be false, wouldn't it?

A mirage is an optical phenomenon

The word I can think of that best fits instead of "mirage" would be oasis, though I could be wrong.

Write an essay explaining how modern technology has changed the way people stay informed about current events.

Vlada [557]

Do you ever wonder how people don't always know what is going on? Well to start off, today's technology is more advanced, capturing people's attention much more than before. This is all mainly because of Quality, Effects, and Apps.

First, lets talk about quality. Back in the days in the 1900s people had to watch TV with not much good quality. The people weren't as interested into the TVs back then, but it was the main thing to watch at the time. But since it was the main thing to watch, people would check the news and be informed about events happening a lot. Nowadays we don't check the media for current events because of all the good quality we have on videos, games, unless it pops up and grabs our attention.

Secondly, effects are something that also keeps us from staying informed about current events. When we watch movies, y0utube, and play games, on laptops and phones, we enjoy the effects that are in those because it makes everything seem cool and appealing, which is slowly starting to drive our mindset away from events. For example, in the movies there are lots of actions and moments that require green screens to be used and edited. Back in the day there weren't much effects to use like how much there is now.

Lastly, Apps are the main things that changed us from staying informed about current events. On go0gle play store there's like over 2 million apps on there, and for all ages. BUT, lots of the apps are helpful because there are news apps. On there you can be updates about the current events that are happening, and what you should or can do. There are also educational apps that help us learn. On the other hand, most of the apps are mainly for entertainment and not useful purposes. When we are on apps, we forget about current events and just focus on the app mostly.

In conclusion, The main reasons how modern technology has changed the way people stay informed about current events is because of Quality, Effects, and Apps.
