English
1 answer:
Ann [662]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The theme of the story "Feathered Friend" is that the oldest and simplest solutions are better than the expensive ones.

Explanation:

"Feathered Friend" is a short science fiction written by Arthur Clarke. The story is about a yellow canary, Claribel, who saves the lives of the astronauts in the space.

The yellow canary is a very playful and cheerful bird who is taken into space by the astronauts, which suggests that they will be breaking the rules of space.

In the story, there was a gas leakage on the spaceship which was not detected by the expensive instruments installed on the spaceship. The hint of bad air was detected when the canary passed out because of the bad air on the spaceship. <u>The </u><u>theme</u><u> that has been depicted in the story is that the simplest and the cheapest solutions are better than the expensive ones.</u>

How does the symbol of the sheep affect the story in The Alchemist? Select each correct answer.
makkiz [27]

A- The sheep represent those who choose not to follow their ultimate purpose.

AND

B-The sheep motivate Santiago to take a risk and pursue his Personal Legend.


When Santiago observes the sheep, he reflects on how they go through life doing only what Santiago asks. They trust him to keep them fed and watered, out of danger, and make good decisions on their behalf. They are similar to those people who choose not to follow their ultimate purpose in that they let life pass by only satisfied with the necessities. Not really choosing their own path or purpose.

The sheep also motivate Santiago. After reflecting on their ability to hold him back from his adventure because of his feelings of responsibility to them, he begins to realize that they are really the way he can afford to take his journey. By selling his sheep, he can free himself easily from what keeps him in Andalusia and acquire the money he needs to begin his journey to the pyramids.

Can someone paraphrase lines 1-16 in Billy Collins poem "The Trouble with Poetry". Thanks
zubka84 [21]
<span>While walking on the beach the author realized what is wrong with poetry. Collins begins to explain that one poet wrote a poem and people liked it so it made even more people become poets. Now EVERYONE thinks they are poets. He goes on to say that it will end when people realize that poets do not write anything of actual substance. Eventually the rise of poets will die down and they will hold their heads down low.</span>
