Read this passage from “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” What can we assume about Simon Wheeler, based on the de

scription by the narrator? He (Simon Wheeler) never smiled, he never frowned, he never changed his voice from the gentle-flowing key to which he tuned the initial sentence, he never betrayed the slightest suspicion of enthusiasm; but all through the interminable narrative there ran a vein of impressive earnestness and sincerity, which showed me plainly that, so far from his imagining that there was anything ridiculous or funny about his story, he regarded it as a really important matter, and admired its two heroes as men of transcendent genius in finesse.

What is the summary of the coyote and the buffalo by morning dove?
xenn [34]

Answer:

Coyote and the Buffalo is a Native American Legend that explains why there is no buffalo in Swah-netk'-qhu.

Explanation:

The story begins by telling how Coyote was to blame for the absence of buffalo in Swah-netk'-qhu country.

Coyote had always been afraid of Buffalo Bull, and while he was walking over the plains beyond the big mountains, he found the skull of his great enemy and decided to make fun of him. He threw it into the air, kicked it and spat on it, and it went on his way.

After that, Buffalo Bull came back to life and wanted to kill Coyote. But they reached an agreement, where Coyote would make him new horns so that Buffalo Bull could take revenge on Young Buffalo for killing him and keeping his herd, his former wives and their children.

Coyote makes magnificent horns for Buffalo Bull, who manages to kill Young Buffalo and recover what was his. He was so grateful that he decided to give Coyote a cow, with which he would be able to feed himself all his life, but he was forbidden to kill her.

He said <em>“When you get hungry, just slice off some choice fat with a flint knife. Then rub ashes on the wound and the cut will heal at once. ”</em>, But after a while Coyote got tired of always eating the same parts and killed the cow.

When he ran out of food he decided to see Buffalo Bull again to ask for a new cow, and when he arrived he was surprised to see the cow he killed was alive! But she refused to return with him, and Buffalo Bull did not want to give him another. That is the reason why Coyote's vanity, made him return without any buffalo home.

When Montag visits Faber, he’s told that there are "lots of Harvard degrees on the tracks between here and Los Angeles." What do
Sidana [21]

<u>Explanation</u>:

I Assumed you are referring to the story, "FAHRENHEIT 451 " by Ray Bradbury  

Interestingly, we see the conversation that transpired on page 61 of the text. There Montag was indirectly referring to the many "educated" individuals who due to their not having a home, sought refuge along the train tracks.

So in other words, he was alluding to the fact tha<u>t even though lots of persons had University degrees, they were unfortunate and lived along the rail tracks in the city.</u>
