Many myths come from human's early desire to explain the origins of life and the natural world. They try making sense of the wonders of the world they precieved. Myths often attempt to answer questions like how did the world come to be, who are we, what is our purpose on earth. People back then couldn't rely on science to giv them the answers sothey told stories to provide an explanation iof where things came form. in this case "[the cattle] are actually a divine gift from the sky god,Enaki."
Jakovlevitch is not so much astounded by the fact that he found a nose in a baked roll as he is frightened by the fact that it is a familiar nose, and an official one - belonging to the Collegiate Assessor Kovalev. So, this is a nose with a rank - not high enough to please its owner, but higher than Jakovlevitch's modest social position. Jakovlevitch is afraid: he must have cut off the nose while he was drunk!
Gogol uses the nose to satirize obsessions of Russian society with rank and social status. Kovalev himself is apparently unsatisfied with his status as a civil servant (and that is all he cares about). So, when he sees his nose in a uniform which implies a higher status, he doesn't know what to do, how to behave. He acts as a sycophant. "'How, even so, am I to approach it?' Kovalev reflected. 'Everything about it, uniform, hat, and all, seems to show that it is a State Councilor now. Only the devil knows what is to be done!' He started to cough in the Nose's vicinity, but the Nose did not change its position for a single moment."
Phrase: The cow in the shed/ Under the table
Clause: This train goes/ The house has four windows/ Because we don't have any butter
Explanation:
The difference between a clause and a phrase is that clauses always contain a subject (agent of the action) and a verb (action), while phrases usually contain one of these elements or might contain none of these. This makes clauses to express a complete idea in some cases. Knowing this, let's analyze each section to know if it is a clause or phrase:
This train goes -This contains a subject (This train) and a verb (goes), which makes it a clause
The house has for windows -This contains a subject (The house), a verb (has), and it expresses a complete idea; therefore, this is a clause
The cow in the shed- This includes a subject (the cow) but not a verb, which makes it a phrase
Because we don't have any butter -This includes a subject (we) and a verb (have), so it is a clause
Under the table -The word "table" can act as a subject but there is no action, thus, this is just a phrase.
Answer:
you can fix this research question by turning it into a thesis statement for a research paper.
Explanation:
for example, your new thesis could be something like this
"There is a higher power in the universe."
or like this
"The belief that there is a higher power in the universe is reflected in the lives of millions of religious Americans."
once you have your thesis, you can write the rest of the research paper explaining about it (for example, that God is the higher power many Americans believe in)
