Answer:

Explanation:

I have to tell you that the comedy is incidental.

I read this when I was 15 with a good case of the measles. It was not good for my eyes.

He wrote both these short stories (Eve's Diary Adam's Diary) on the eve of his wife's death. I don't think they were published during his lifetime but I could be wrong.

What you have to understand is that there was only 1 woman in Twain's life and he came to know the sadness and pain in the marriage vow ('...till death do us part.')

He was overcome with grief on her death. So this is not truly a parody. It is a lament filled with pain and longing. If you do not believe me, read the last paragraph of the extract.

He wrote as he did because Livy was everything to him. He is showing the reality of the woman he loved, but it is not humor in the true sense of the word. He missed her terribly, and he was writing about her absence in the  only way he could. She was (to him) an innocent creature who shared his love.

Eve's diary and this piece are masterpieces of how men feel about the women they love if they are fortunate enough to find such a person. The diary to me then is how Twain educated himself to the great virtue that was in Livy. If ever there was a reality exposed about that love, it is certainly in the last paragraph.

So the question really does not apply. And whoever wrote it does not understand how humor covers up tragedy. We can come to know things through humor, but in the end we are saddened by the clown who laughs but feels deeply burdened by his life.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer: She should not.

Explanation:

Every profession has a range of salaries that practitioners in that profession might earn from the lowest salary possible to the highest. For instance, Carpenters in the United States can expect a yearly salary of between $41,784 and $72,987.

The Median figure refers to the figure in the middle of this range and separates what those in the upper half of the range will get from those in the lower half. It is not a given that a person will earn the median salary as they may earn lower or higher than it depending on multiple factors such as  education, location, additional skills, number of years in the profession, etc.

Answer:

A). Concept Map

Explanation:

A concept map refers to a type of representing the ideas in the diagrammatic form. The ideas are presented in the downward structure of hierarchy. The main idea is written and the sub-topics and other related topics are written in the downward branches.

David is more likely to apply the concept map form of making notes. He re-frames the notes after he is back from school to make the notes more accessible to him. Restructuring the notes to make it more learning-oriented is what David would do as a visual learner.
