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

Why Everett Ruess is a mystery
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

One of Utah’s greatest mysteries is the sudden disappearance of a young adventurer named Everett Ruess.

Explanation:

In the 1930’s, Ruess left his home and family after graduating high school to wander alone through the American Southwest. Everett was an explorer, poet, artist, and inspiration who was captivated by the daunting beauty and fury of deserts. He spent many years wandering alone through southern Utah with his two burros, entranced by the looming red rocks and lonely rolling sands. In 1934, at the age of 20, he disappeared into one of Utah’s most desolate places, and his fate remains a mystery.

In "An Indian Father's Plea," Medicine Grizzlybear Lake argues that his son, Wind Wolf, is not "a slow learner." Describe how La
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Wind- Wolf is not a slow learner but a culturally different learner. He comes from an Indian reservation , so his culture is different from the Western culture. Wind-Wolf has already got some knowledge about the world but he has got it through different methods. There are different methods at Western schools. Therefore, the teacher from the school will probably have to learn about Wind- Wolf's world. She must not impose on him the Western view of the world.

Wind- Wolf learnt about the universe- Mother Earth- when he was born. He was born and a traditional native childbirth ceremony took place. He had been bonded to his mother since that moment ,so he developed many faculties observing his mother. He was secure in his turtle shell and he could also learn many things from there. He learnt about health; he learnt about the universe and he also learnt about mathematics. This turtle shell was his first seat in a classroom.

He learnt about healing when he observed his mother during a Sun Dance Ceremony. Her mother danced for several days. She fasted and pierced herself during this ceremony. Wind-wolf doctored in many healing ceremonies. Then, he has different knowledge about the universe. There are thirteen months for Wind- Wolf because there are thirteen full moons for his people. There are also thirteen planets and thirteen tail feathers in the tail of an eagle. The eagle is the most powerful bird in the ceremonies and in healing. Then, he learnt to count while he listened to his mother count beads. Her mother made baskets, necklaces and belts with beads. It was hard work for his mother , but she could count the beads and combine them with different colours in many products.

In conclusion, Wind- Wolf is not a slow-learner at all but a different learner. He has got a different culture. He has to learn about a new culture but he does not have to abandon his knowledge. Therefore, Wind- Wolf's teacher has to learn about his world. If she does not learn about it, "she" will become a "slow-teacher".
