This question is about “The Curse of the Poisoned Pretzel” by Paul Haven

Answer and Explanation:

To make it look like Skidmore poisoned his own brother, the author shows how Skidmore hated his brother and hated him for silly and superfluous things, like thinking that his brother was provoking him by chewing gum while he was allergic. The author reinforces the enmity between them, but states that everyone loved Skidmore's brother, making the reader suspicious of anyone for poisoning, except Skidmore.

Explain how Mr. Hale's question, ""But would the women know a clue if they did come upon it?" demonstrates the men's attitude to
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The men including the Sheriff Mr. Peters and Mr. Hale seem to have no concern for the opinions of the womenfolk. Moreover, the women are left to defend their own kind, to the extend of hiding evidence for a woman accused of the crime of murdering her own husband.

Explanation:

Susan Glaspell's short story <em>A Jury of Her Peers</em> / <em>Trifles</em>, <em>A One Act Play</em>, tells the story of Mrs. Wright who had been accused and kept in captivity over the death of her husband Mr. Wright. And the men who had gone to look for evidence in the Wrights' home including the Sheriff are sure that their wives will not find any evidence even if they come across one. This clearly shows the gender roles in the society, where the women are thought to be incapable of doing anything worthwhile.

But contrary to the belief, it is the women (Mrs Hale and Mrs. Peters) are the ones who find all the hints that show how guilty Mrs. Wright was. Their reflection on the life of the accused woman also reveals how women were treated in general. And while the men couldn't come across any evidence to prove her guilt, the women decided to hide whatever they found for they sympathize and relate to her situation and what it must have led her to do the deed. Therefore, it can be rightly said that the men in general seemed to not give any importance to the women in the society, leaving the womenfolk to fend for their own kind even regarding a murder case.

If Victor knows French then yes there is not conflict unless you count his crush as one, but if he doesn't know French then the conflict is still there because he still has to help Teresa on knowledge he doesn't know himself.

How can you tell if something is a passion for you?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

I would say either the first or last option! I'll explain-

Explanation:

The first option states that you spend over 12 hours per week on it. Spending a lot of time on something can be a good thing! You may really enjoy doing whatever it is you are doing, so you send more time on it.

The last option states that you feel more energized when you are finished, meaning that you could also like doing what you are doing then. It might make you happy. Or more energized!
