Answer:

After Pip met Estella and had become infatuated with her he becomes disgusted with his present situation as an assistant to Joe in his forge. In Ch 13 he is formally apprenticed to Joe and the chapter ends with Pip telling us that he was

"truly wretched and had a strong conviction on me that I should never like Joe's trade. I had liked it once, but once was not now."

He analyses his feelings very carefully and records them in minute detail in the next chapter:

"I had believed in the forge as the glowing road to manhood and independence. Within a single year, all this was changed. Now, it was all coarse and common, and I would not have had Miss Havisham and Estella see it on any account."

Till he was sent to Satis House where he first met and became infatuated with Estella he always looked forward to becoming an apprentice to Joe but after he met Estella he became disgusted with his profession and ashamed of his low social status and in Ch.14 he tells us what he dreaded most:

"What I dreaded was, that in some unlucky hour I being at my grimiest and commonest, should lift up my eyes and see Estella looking in at one of the wooden windows of the forge."

1. The earth is not a perfect sphere. What causes the earth NOT to be a<br> perfect sphere? *
Trava [24]

Answer:

The Earth’s rotation creates an outward force that is highest at the equator and zero at the poles. Since the Earth is not perfectly solid throughout, this force results in the Earth being ‘squashed’ into a slightly flattened sphere.

Write a complete paragraph about a topic of your choice. <br><br> Will mark BRAINLIEST!!
Lapatulllka [165]

Here's a write-up on the topic: 'A Day When Everything Went Wrong'.

Explanation:

I woke up that morning, wondering why my alarm hadn't gone off. Just as I was lying in bed, my room looked brighter than usual - I glanced at the watch on my bedside table and it showed 8:30 am, a whole 90 minutes later than when I generally wake up! That meant I had barely 20 minutes to get ready and reach class.

Being late meant quickly washing my face and no breakfast. Once I reached class (hungry, disheveled and ten minutes late), the professor refused to let me in. That was like the icing on the cake. I sat morosely on the steps outside the classroom, waiting for the bell to signal the beginning of the next period, which was the chemistry lab (my favourite). Lo and behold, I opened my bag only to realize I had forgotten to pack my lab coat for the day! That would mean I would be denied entry to the lab too.

I trudged back home, feeling awful. Just as I was about to enter my gate, I tripped on an uneven stone lying on the pavement - and fell flat on my face. That was literally the last straw. Bleeding a little on my forehead, I entered my room and slammed the door, grumbling about the extremely horrid day that I had had and wondering what else was lying in store for me.

Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this story. How does the author create surprise in "The Horseman i
katrin2010 [14]

The correct answer is He withholds the fact that the falling horseman is the father of the shooter.


Throughout the story, the author yields a slow-paced description of the scene settings as a means to visually guide the reader. Moreover, they throw in clues such as the watchman's hesitation to shoot the horseman, as if the glance of the latter over the direction of the watchman caused him to react in that manner. This act may initially confuse the reader, but it isn't until the story's end that the horseman's identity is revealed, and so the climax of the story is explained and the surprise factor kicks in the reader.


The rest of the options are not as impactful since:


The watchman's conversation with his father seems ordinary at first, given the father's reaction to his son's desire to join the regiment. The revelation of the horseman's identity explains many of the phrases of this conversation, such as the father addresing the son as a traitor, meaning that both of the would fight on separate sides of the war. This is more fulfilling to the reader, rather than surprising.

The horse didn't bolt off the cliff until the watchman fired, but if it did before the shot, it wouldn't have been impactful to the story at any rate - considering the main surprise at the end.
