Which two parts of this excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" show that the White family does not believe in the talism

an's power? The other shook his head and examined his possession closely. "How do you do it?" he inquired. "Hold it up in your right hand, and wish aloud," said the Sergeant-Major, "But I warn you of the consequences." "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me." Her husband drew the talisman from his pocket, and all three burst into laughter as the Sergeant-Major, with a look of alarm on his face, caught him by the arm. "If you must wish," he said gruffly, "Wish for something sensible." Mr. White dropped it back in his pocket, and placing chairs, motioned his friend to the table. In the business of supper the talisman was partly forgotten, and afterward the three sat listening in an enthralled fashion to a second installment of the soldier's adventures in India.

Please summarize Franklin Roosevelt's speech "quarantine" and explain what he was trying to persuade the people to do. Please he
RideAnS [48]

President Delano Roosevelt’s “Quarantine” speech was a speech he gave that indicated a desired shift from the United States policy of isolationism to a somewhat passive policy of interfering—ignoring or quarantining aggressor nations.  In his speech he proposed that peaceful nations band together to quarantine aggressive nations in an effort to reduce their impact on the peaceful world.  He felt that by rejecting aggression, it could be eliminated.  His speech argued for support of this effort by making the point that because all nations depended on each other, they simply couldn’t do nothing about aggression, and this was a non-violent manner in which to counter aggressive nations.

In acts 1 and 2 of Julius Caesar, with whom is Brutus most in conflict?
enyata [817]

In acts 1 and 2 of Julius Caesar, Brutus is in conflict with himself.

In the soliloquy in Act 2 Scene 1 in the tragedy of Julius Caesar explains Brutus' involvement in the assassination plot against Ceasar as he thinks about the consequences if Caesar is crowned. He compares the crowning procedure of Caesar to that of the hatching of a serpent from the egg. He assumes that when Caesar would become the king of Rome he will show his cruel nature and bring destruction to the people of Rome. Hence, Brutus joins the conspiracy against Caesar in order to prevent Rome from the ambitious nature of Caesar in the coming future.
