At birth a giraffe calf is about six feet tall (top of head) and weighs between 100 and 150 pounds. Its proportions are less exa

ggerated than those of an adult giraffe. Its upright, S-shaped neck is shorter. The bristly mane runs down onto its back and sometimes has an extension on the rump. Two horn cartilages, flat-lying to facilitate* the calf’s birth, can be felt under the skin on the head. Each is topped by a tuft of black hair. During the first days of the calf’s life the horns actually move about on the skull, to which they are attached only by connective tissue. Very soon the horns become stiff, as bone begins to replace cartilage. The calf’s short hair has a woolly texture. On each flank a spiral hair tract or whorl is conspicuous.

In "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall", what is the story's theme?
kakasveta [241]

By being privy to Granny’s death, the reader can infer much about her life. The title describes the enormous hurt and humiliation that has secretly festered in her mind and heart for sixty years. Her great pride was devastated by her jilting; although she married a good man, raised a family, and managed a farm by herself after her husband’s death, she never totally got over the shock and disappointment of George’s rejection. The fact that she has saved George’s letters suggests how much he continued to mean to her in her heart and how the pain of her jilting remained with her for sixty years.

Explain Antony`s motive for delivering this speech to the conspirators.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Antony's speech is a turning point for the conspirators. Caesar has been murdered, and the conspirators have explained the situation. Although Antony does not openly disagree with them, we see that he believes the act was wrong when he adresses the crowd. Brutus has already talked to the people, and he argued that Caesar was killed out of love for Rome. Antony, however, turns the crowd against them. He reminds the people of everything that Caesar did for Rome. By carefully presenting his arguments, he succeeds in turning the crowd against the conspirators.
