Read the excerpt from A Girl from Yamhill. He does not faint. Somehow Mother boosts him along to the parlor couch. Later, after

the doctor has gone, I learn that a sudden jerc (I had to spell that wrong because Brainly said no) on the reins by a team of horses has dislocated the arm, an accident that has happened before in his heavy farm work, for his shoulder sockets are too shallow for the weight of his muscles. Mother's determination always supports him to the couch. Which universal theme is present in this excerpt? Hard work often leads to injuries and suffering. People sacrifice and work hard for those whom they love. People who sacrifice for their families are rewarded. A person who works too hard is forced to depend on others.

Answer:

The universal theme present in this excerpt is:

A. Hard work often leads to injuries and suffering.

Explanation:

"A Girl from Yamhill" is a memoir by author Beverly Cleary. In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, the universal theme that can be noticed is that hard work often leads to injuries and suffering. <u>We all know that, as a general rule, farm work is hard work. It demands a lot of physical strength from those performing it. The character in the excerpt has the muscles to do the work, but his shoulder sockets are too shallow for the weight of those muscles. When the horses jer.k on the reins, he dislocates his arm. This injury obviously leads to pain and suffering.</u>

Based on your synthesis of your sources, what do you believe is freedom? Use evidence from at least two of the sources to suppor
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Hello. Unfortunately you have not informed the sources that you need to use to answer this question, which makes it impossible for me to give you an answer using these sources. However, I will help you in the best possible way.

Freedom means having autonomy and free will. In this case, an individual who has freedom is able to act according to his own wishes, without suffering any kind of limitation, or depending on anyone. Free people live according to their own terms. This does not mean that that person may violate the laws and rules of a society, as such an offense would end the freedom that that person has access to.

In this case, we can consider that to have freedom is also to have responsibility. This responsibility prevents the freedom of one individual, limits the freedom of another individual, or harms society as a whole.
