I have read "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien. This story is a fictional story about a young man who was drafted for the Vietnam war in his first years of college. This book describes the coming of age of multiple characters in its portrayal of each character individualistically. It shows how fast each of these young men had to grow up after joining the war and the difficulties they faced. It is easy to forget how young these guys are because of the things they say or the actions they must take. There are many moments in the book that make you stop and go "Hey wait. These are just kids," and it really shows the maturing process and the stresses of war in addition to suddenly being thrust into adulthood.

Answer:

<h2>I have read "To Kill a Mockingbird"</h2>

Explanation:

A coming-of-age story is a story that describes the immense growth of a character, typically based on a life-changing experience. This challenge makes the character mature and see the world differently. To Kill a Mockingbird is an example of a coming-of-age story because the main character Scout views a person she used to dislike, Boo Radley, in a different way after he saves the children's lives. She realizes the even though the children viewed Boo Radley as a dangerous curiosity, he is really just a person who likes to keep to himself unless it is necessary to come out. However, when the children's lives are in danger from Bob Ewell, he does the right thing and saves them. This makes Scout realize that she can no longer view Boo Radley as a bad person and is an example of Scout maturing.

Trojan war Ch. 13
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Fertility

The human female is generally fertile from early teens to about mid forties. The human male generally remains fertile throughout adulthood, though sperm count and quality diminish from middle-age onward (http://www.guardian.co.uk/societyaccessed 10 July 2008).

In the absence of a conscious effort to control the size of families, the larger the fraction of the population who are in the fertile age range the more rapid will be the population growth, and this will influence the average age of the population structure towards the younger end of the spectrum.

In terms of populations rather than individuals, fertility is usually expressed using the proxy measure of birth rate, either crude or standardised for age and sex. Worldwide, there are significant differences between birth rates. A major study in the 1980s, carried out by the Population Division of the Department of International Economic and Social Affairs of the UN Secretariat, studied the relationship between population age and sex distribution and crude fertility rates for twenty one countries in the developing world. They concluded

The higher the birthrate the more markedly the birthrate is depressed by the age structure. All other things being equal, fertility should decline more rapidly in the countries where it is currently lowest since the age structure appears to favor such a course. The mean number of children ever born also ranged widely among the twenty one countries. Differences in completed family size range from 8.6 children in Jordan to 5.2 children in Indonesia. 1 In the developed world, though, there is a global tendency for family sizes on average to be smaller than the replacement level. This is true of every country in the European Union

Mortality

The effect of mortality on population structures is to reduce the component of the population in which the mortality occurs. Historically, the most dangerous ages were infancy and old age (variously reckoned accord to circumstances). In addition, some epidemics of infectious diseases (eg Spanish 'flu) had their highest mortality among young adults, whose immune systems were presumably insufficiently primed. It is expected that the forecast bird 'flu epidemic will behave similarly. War differential reduces the proportion of younger men. The majority of infectious diseases of early childhood have been conquered by immunization, and improved nutrition and hygiene have rendered childhood safer. Antibiotics, welfare state, and improvements in medical, surgical, and palliative care have resulted in great increases in life expectancy in the developed world, where life expectancy is now in the middle to upper 70s or lower 80s, and rising every year. The effect of this is to raise the population in the upper age groups substantially. Women have high life expectancy than men wherever they live. The tendency of people to retire to particular resorts means that in some parts of the South Coast of England the average (arithmetic mean) age of the population is only just below retirement age.

The down side of this is that the extended lives are often lived in bad health, as the treatments people receive may keep them alive but do little to ameliorate the underlying pain or disability brought on by the diseases, and virtually nothing for the various forms of senile dementia that are increasingly encountered.

Migration

This has been less studied. In areas where natural disasters or politico-military concerns lead to entire populations being displaced the initial population structure will be unchanged, though post-migration the population will have altered to reflect those who have survived the process, typically showing increases in older children and younger adults. Opportunistic migration tends to occur mostly among younger adults, and may be permanent or temporary. Some studies have shown increased fertility levels in migrants, So the effect of migration on population structure is to deplete the population emigrated from in the young adult groups, to augment this group in the immigrated-to population, and to increase the fertility/birthrate in the new population

The four major indo-european language families are germanic, greek, and celtic.
Kazeer [188]

The statement is -  False.

The four major Indo-European language families nowadays are the Romance, Germanic, Balto-Slavic, and Indo-Aryan families. Three of the four are native for the European continent, and the fourth is native for Asia. The Indo-European languages are forming the biggest language family in the world by far, not just by number of speakers, but also in territory. Even though this language family is native to Eurasia, it has become the dominant in North America, South America, and Australia as well.

The major four, the Romance, Germanic, Balto-Slavic, and Indo-Aryan, all have more than 400 million speakers individually, and they are one of the most important languages in the world. The English, from the Germanic branch, is considered an international language, and almost a necessity in global communication.

Read the sentence.
AveGali [126]

One way to vary the syntax of the text is to combine sentences since, in this way, your structures will be longer and more complex to follow. This could be done by means of links such as: however, in addition, therefore, etc. When using these words, you create semantic relations between the syntactic structures and make the reading process more difficult because, as I've I said, sentences become longer and therefore the reader has to keep more information in mind to follow the train of thought.

You could also vary the syntax by adding phrases or clauses. This option is similar to the previous one since it also refers to the complexity of the syntactic structures of the text.
