Giddy-up, cowboys and girls! In the Southwest during early half of the 1800s, cows were only worth 2 or 3 dollars apiece. They r

oamed wild, grazed off the open range, and were abundant. Midway through the century though, railroads were built, and the nation was connected. People in the Southwest could suddenly ship cows in freight trains to the Northeast. The Yankees there had a growing taste for beef and were willing to pay for it. Out of the blue, the same cows that were once worth a couple of bucks were now worth between twenty and forty dollars each. The only problem was that they had to get these cows to the train station. A new profession emerged from this. It became lucrative to wrangle up a drove of cattle and herd them to the nearest train town. Of course, it was dangerous too. Cowboys were threatened at every turn. They faced cattle rustlers, stampedes and extreme weather. But they kept pushing those steers to the train station. By the turn of the century, barbed wire killed the open range. Some may say the cowboy, too, was killed by barbed wire. Maybe, but it was the train that birthed them. Can someone help me get the main idea?

Answer:

b) The cries and laughter of children filled the air as they waded through the fountain, avoiding the different spouts of water.

Explanation:

When Cassandra hears weeping and laughing kids wading through the fountain in Washington Square Park on a beautiful day, it's the line from the narrative that most captures her sentiments about being there. This sentence indicates that Cassandra is enjoying the sights and sounds of the park on a beautiful day.

  • a) She sighed and opened her eyes to the magnificent Washington Square Arch. Cassandra's feelings about being in the park are not revealed in this line. Based on the fact that she sighed before opening her eyes, we can only presume she was tired or bored.
  • c) Some students lounged on the grass, while others played instruments as they went around the park. This sentence does not indicate Cassandra's feelings about being in the park. We can only assume she was taken aback by the variety of people she saw while strolling around the park.
  • d) It seemed as though the fountain water at Washington Square Park Fountain was encrusted with hundreds of diamonds. This sentence does not indicate Cassandra's feelings about being in the park. We can only speculate as to why she was unable to speak or respond to the sight of the fountain.

Odysseus ignores his men’s pleas to return to the ship. As a result, they face terrible consequences. How does Odysseus’s decisi
Norma-Jean [14]
THE ANSWER IS C. A great leader has great self-control and makes sound decisions. Odysseus, while B could have been an answer, he could not only rely on the opinions of his men, he had to make decisions that he thought were wise because he was their leader. In this instance, Od. had no self-control, letting his immense hubris override his decision making. And we know that he could have made a better decision because he is considered to be the wisest of the kings.

Explain in at least 150 words what significance a dowry plays in a marriage. What impact does the dowry have on social class? Us
romanna [79]

Answer:

The book "Nectar in a Sieve" takes place in India, where the practice of giving dowries is extremely common. A dowry, in Indian culture, is a sum of money attached to a woman of marrying age to be given to her husband/husband's family when they get married.

The larger the dowry the better, because more respectable and promising men tend to receive the brides with the largest dowries. However, if the woman is exceptionally attractive, they may still be able to catch the eye of the more promising men. In the novel, Rukmani describes herself as having no dowry and having little beauty. Because of this, she ends up betrothed to a poor farmer, and her prospects are extremely limited. Her daughter, Ira, however, is able to marry significantly above her station, as she is considered very beautiful.

So, in most cases, a dowry will determine your fate and how well of a life you will be able to live later on. In some cases, though not often, you can rise above this fate.
