Answer:

Ryder is the person who stole the blue carbuncle.

“’Precisely so—the head attendant at the Hotel Cosmopolitan.’”

Explanation:

Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes Series "The Adventures of the Blue Carbuncle" revolves around the stolen jewel of the Countess of Morcar’s blue carbuncle. The story would lead Holmes and Watson through the history of a goose's origin and death to help identify the real thief.

In the given passage from the story, we can see that Holmes knows exactly what he was doing. And when the "little rat-faced fellow" hears from Holmes the history of how 'his' goose was passed on from Mrs. Oakshott to the Inn, he knows he must get every detail about it. Up till this part in the story, everyone who had laid hands on the goose has no idea about the diamond, so, the hasty and eager behavior of the "little fellow" makes Holmes realize that he is the only one to know the true importance of the goose. This shows that James Ryder, aka John Robinson, is the person who stole the diamond.

The conclusion that Ryder is the thief is supported by the line "Precisely so—the head attendant at the Hotel Cosmopolitan". This is because it was at the Hotel Cosmopolitan that the robbery took place and also Ryder was the only witness to have seen and reported the missing diamond.

Speech about rights and responsibilities cannot be separated

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The right of free speech enjoyed by Americans is rooted in the First Amendment, which states that "Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech. …" Nevertheless, the right to free speech is not entirely unfettered, and one's ability to speak whatever one likes can be legally limited under certain circumstances that depend on the nature of the speech and the communications medium in which that speech is expressed. The electronic environment, which gives every user access to a large audience and a virtually unlimited supply of information, poses particular challenges concerning free speech. This chapter summarizes a discussion of two free speech scenarios that were examined by a panel at CSTB's February 1993 forum.

This chapter, and the three chapters following it, are based on the discussions held at the February 1993 forum described in the preface. As noted in the preface, the forum was intended to raise issues related to and associated with the rights and responsibilities of participants in networked communities as they arose in discussions of various hypothetical scenarios. Thus, Chapter 4 through 7 collectively have a more descriptive than analytical quality.

Consider Dickinson’s poems "I Started Early—Took My Dog" and “Apparently with No Surprise.” Which topic do the two poems share?

Artyom0805 [142]

Both poems show the intensity of the forces of nature.

This can be seen because:

In "I Started Early—Took My Dog," the author shows the liveliness and influence of the sea. She does it as a metaphor for what a man would be able to do with her life.
In "Apparently with No Surprise," the author shows how frost is capable of killing a flower, without any mercy. She uses it to make a metaphor about the end of life.

Both poems portray the author's very deep thoughts, she had much stronger thoughts about life, death, and passions and for this reason used the force of nature to represent these thoughts.

Furthermore, it is necessary to emphasize that the topic of a poem is one of the subjects that the poem addresses.
