I just want to dream about Mecca. I've already imagined a thousand times crossing the desert, arriving at the Plaza of the Sacred Stone, the seven times I walk around it before allowing myself to touch it. I've already imagined the people who would be at my side, and those in front of me, and the conversations and prayers we would share. But I'm afraid that it would all be a disappointment, so I prefer just to dream about it." How does the symbol of the desert affect the meaning in this passage?

The word desert means a dry, barren area of land, especially one covered with sand, that is characteristically desolate, waterless, and without vegetation. In this paragrpah this word affects the passage in the  way the author uses its meanings to represent the struggles everyone must face if they want to realize their dreams.

The correct answer and the way that the symbol of the desert affects the meaning in this passage of Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist" (1988) is The desert represents the struggles everyone must face if they want to realize their dreams.

The image of a desert brings to our mind the idea of harshness, of hardness, of an arid landscape and of the challenge of crossing a wasteland with the dangers that it entails if we are not prepared to do it.

In this context, the idea of the desert and the struggles that you must face to cross it, and in this excerpt achieve your dreams, is what prevents the crystal merchant to try and make his dreams real. If you want to fulfill your dreams, you must struggle and face the challenges of the symbolic desert that stand in your way.

When formulating a research question, a researcher should write a question
Archy [21]
I would say the correct answer is that has an undetermined answer.
If a subject has been thoroughly covered, then there is no need for this researcher to do it all over again. If it's impossible to answer, there is no need to try. If it can be answered easily, then it doesn't really require a research. This leaves us with the last option, because a researcher might want to try and determine the answer.

In an essay of at least 150 words, explain why Orwell chose to write this story from the animals’ point of view. Your answer sho
lawyer [7]

One of the four major themes in Animal Farm is the way power corrupts those in control of a group. This corruption of power, brought to you by Napoleon, is putre selfishness. Napoleon misuses his authority as soon as Old Major dies and everybody is waiting for a leader. Instead of following Old Majors beliefs Napoleon manipulates the animals with the help of Squealer to get what he wants. He chases off kills or threatens anyone who questions his authority because he realizes how good power feels. He even goes against the rules he helped make for the farm to satisfy his own interests. The pigs do whatever they can to get ahead no matter who they hurt and no matter how badly. In animals farm we see an example of power corruption when "Napoleon announced there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half." This example shows us that Napoleon doesn't care if the animals get injured working more hours. If they want their rations they have to work longer than they agreed to. This is very unfair and is not in the best interest of the animals.
