PLEASE ANYONE WHO HAS READ THE LEAP USE THE A.C.E METHOD TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION
Archy [21]

First of all, if the story would be in chronological order, there would be no story at all. This is because the main character of the story, Anna, won't tell the narrator, her daughter, a lot about her past. "She has kept no squinted costume, no photographs, no fliers or posters from that part of her youth".

Because the narrator tells the story in the present and uses flashbacks is the reason that she can unify certain themes, such as the three times her mother saved her life because of her leaps. "I owe her my existence three times". These three leaps the narrator owes her life might be: when Anna Saves herself when she falls from the trapeze, when she falls in love with the narrator's father, and when she saves the narrator life from a fire by climbing to the room where the narrator is trapped.

A rctangular block of land is 52m long and 36m wide.A fence is to be erected on the two long sides and no one of the shorts side
kozerog [31]

Answer:

$3,172

Explanation:

Is that $30.50 per meter?

The perimeter of a rectangle is simply adding all the sides together or 2(l + w). But they want only the long sides, which is 52 meters. 52 + 52 = 104 meters. If it's $30.50 per meter and there is 104 meters, you do 30.5 × 104.

30.5 × 104 = $3,172

Jet001 [13]

Explanation:

Lennie Small is huge and lumbering and, in many ways, the opposite of George Milton. Where George has sharp features and definite lines, Lennie is "shapeless." Often he is described in terms of animals. He lumbers like a bear and has the strength of a bear, but his actions are often described like those of a dog.
