Answer:

<h2>See below</h2>

Explanation:

Jerry's mother is worried that she might be overprotective. She allows him to go to the other beach alone. Since this story is all about growing up, it is an important first step that Jerry is allowed to go somewhere alone, enabling him to be more grown-up. She also has more trust in Jerry, a sign that Jerry's transformation has begun. She purchases swim goggles without demanding why he needs them. This event especially advances the plot of the story because it builds toward the main event of the whole story: swimming through the tunnel, Had Jerry's mother refused to buy the swim goggles, he wouldn't have been able to swim through the tunnel.

Through the course of the story, we don't see Jerry's mom as someone who hovers around Jerry. It is implied that she is able to recognize that Jerry is able to self-motivate himself and provides him with certain freedoms. In the scene wherein she initiates the conversation of Jerry going to a different beach, as opposed to staying on the "safe beach" as usual, she offers him the opportunity to decide for himself, and when Jerry decides to play by the rocks, she allows him to be independent. 
Jerry's mom worries about "keeping him too close to her" as she's the only one raising him. In this way, her motivation to be a better mother in terms of offering opportunities for him to grow and be independent. Her way of motivating Jerry, albeit unconventional for some, can be what pushes him to pursue his rite of passage through the tunnel.

Match each of the sentences from the declaration of independence to its purpose
Alex787 [66]
<span>If the question is asking an overall approach to the Declaration of Independence, the first step has to be a mindset that asks "What was Jefferson saying." In doing so, the Preamble sets the rationale behind the move to independence and the "injuries and usurpations" the specifics. However, no matter what, an understanding of the historical context is imperative. However, if the task is asking to break down each sentence in the Declaration and relate it to purpose, that would take a while here.</span>

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation for summary. If my summary does not answer your question, please keep in mind that I am doing my best. I did write this myself, and I am not using any outside sources whatsoever to write this.

I hope this helps!

Explanation:

In The Secret Garden, Mary Lennox is sent to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven, after a cholera outbreak kills her parents, whith whom she was living  in India, although she rarely got the opportunity to see them.

Master Craven is still grieving the death of his wife, an event that occurs ten years prior to the start of the novel. Mistress Craven had a garden that Master Craven locks up after her death.

Mary, a curious young girl, wants desperately to find a way to enter the garden, and so she workes tirelessly to find something that may let her enter. She gets relatively far when she hears crying from a section of the mansion, which she has been told she may not enter.

However, Mary disregards these rules and finds Colin Craven, her uncle's son, who, just like his father, is a hunchback. Mary befriends Colin, and together they continue their search for a way to enter the secret garden.
