The answer is:

Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.

In the excerpt from "The Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," Lady Pertelote the hen cries so loud that she is compared to Hasdrubal's wife's weeping. The reason is, her husband was killed by the Romans, the city was burned and she committed suicide. As a consequence, since the narrator describes the hen's grieving as so loud that it attacks the air, it is assumed Pertelote grieved and groaned desperately.

Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife, since it states how the hen "assiled the ear far louder" than Hasdrubal's wife. It talks nothing of Pertelote's love, manerisms or devotion, just how loud she screamed.

In at least one hundred words, discuss how many of the same themes in Gordimer’s “1959: What is Apartheid?” are expressed in Fug
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:  

What is Apartheid?  

It depends who's replying. In the event that you solicit a part from the South African government, he will let you know  that it is discrete and parallel improvement of white and black.

All things considered, he may give you any of twelve answers emerging out of whatever part of politically-sanctioned racial segregation he has been raised short against that day, for to him it is neither an ideological idea nor a strategy, however a setting in  which his entire life, getting the hang of, working, adoring is inflexibly encased. He could give you a rundown of the laws that  confine him from seeking to the greater part of the points of any humanized individual, or getting a charge out of the delights that everybody  else underestimates. However, it is impossible that he will.  

What might be at the forefront of his thoughts right now is the issue of how to spare his splendid kid from the  watered down 'Bantu Education' which is presently being substituted for standard instruction in schools for dark  kids. Or on the other hand maybe you've just gotten him on the morning after he's gone through a night in the police cells  since he was out after time limitation hours without a bit of paper bearing a white man's mark allowing  him to do as such. Maybe (if he's a man who thinks about such things) he's inclination angry in light of the fact that there's a  show around the local area he'd not be allowing to visit, or (if he's the sort of man who isn't) he's angered at having to  pay a bootleg market cost for a jug of liquor he's suspended from purchasing really. That is politically-sanctioned racial segregation, to him.

How do the gifts affect Della and jim's relationship?<br><br> “The gift of the Magi”
masya89 [10]

Answer: The effect is to give readers an oxymoronic happy sadness all at the same time. It makes the reader sad to know that Jim has sold his watch to afford the combs for Della's hair, while knowing that Della cut her hair to afford the chain for Jim's watch.
