Is one character's story more important than the other?

maks197457 [2]

Character, as if the two were gladiators, waging war on the sands of the Coliseum in some winner-take-all death battle. Both sides of the debate claim a definitive superiority for their chosen gladiator, and for the most part, the battle splits nicely down the lines of literary and commercial fiction, the commercialists placing the emphasis on plot in the interest of producing “page turners,” while the literati poke up their noses at the thought of anything so crude and artless.

What is historically significant about this 1879 speech by Chief Joseph?

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

It is a direct and eloquent plea delivered in Washington for the equal treatment of all Native Americans.

Explanation:

Chief Joseph was a Native American who belonged to a tribe in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S.A. He fought for his people and their ancestral lands against the white settlers. But later on, he surrendered and was moved to the state of Washington.

In Washington D.C., he delivered his speech at the Lincoln Memorial Hall asking for the equal treatment of all Native Americans, just as the white people are being treated. He just wanted the Native Americans to be treated just as the rest of the men were treated with the freedom to travel, trade, work, shop, etc. as long as they obey the law.

So, this explains the answer.

If these were the missing choices:
A) Farquhar may unknowingly walk into a trap.
B) Farquhar will pursue the soldier from the North.
C) Farquhar and the soldier may engage in an altercation.
D) Farquhar and his wife will forget about the soldier

My answer is : A) Farquhar may unknowingly walk into a trap.

Farquhar is a confederate supporter. That is why when he saw a confederate soldier, he reported of Union movements in the hopes that the Union soldiers will be defeated in the Civil War. Unfortunately, the Confederate soldier was in fact a Union soldier in disguise.

Write a paragraph on “Importance of Friendship’ in our life. (120 words)

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Here you go!! Hope it helps!!!!

When we are born, we get associated with our family by blood relation. However, there is a relation, which we choose ourselves. That relation is a friend. Friends make our life beautiful. The adventure of life becomes beautiful when good friends surround us. We all belong to a family, where we have our parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, etc. We get immense love, care, attention and guidance from our family. However, our entire life does not revolve around our family members only. We all have our own purpose in life. Some members of our family go to school, some go to college, and our parents go to work. We all have a life outside our family. No journey of life seems interesting when traveled alone. We tend to make friends outside our family boundaries as that makes all life activities enjoyable.

We connect very quickly with people with whom our interests match. Infants are playful by nature. They always look for the company with whom the can play and explore their curious nature. Hence, when they meet any other infant of their age they connect easily over their common interest of playing.

In school, we make friends over our common interests. For example, students who like playing sports like cricket connect quickly and they become friends. Friends meet and discuss their common interests and nurture their interests together. Friends in school help each other in understanding the class activities, and homework. They often exchange notes and reference materials among themselves.

During our college life, we get independence in taking many decisions on our own. Also, many live in a hostel and are hence away from their family. Studying together, staying together, nurturing interest together, adjusting to conflicts with each other, helping each other all these makes the bond of friendship stronger.

A friend highlights mistakes and guides us in many ways. They also motivate us to realize our full potential. Also, we can easily discuss and share such issues and thoughts with our friends which we cannot share with our parents.

In our professional life also, friends also help us handle failure positively and multiply our joy of success. During midlife, we have huge responsibilities for family, job, etc. Discussing professional and personal stress with our friends makes us feel relaxed. They are our mental support and when we are in crisis, a good friend joins hand and helps in solving the problem.

Because of the nuclear family structure of the current society in old age, people mostly stay alone. Friends hang out and travel together to explore various places and enjoy several hobbies together. Friends thus eliminate boredom and loneliness from life. They add color to life. They become big support for any help needed.
