Answer: Throughout the story “The Interlopers,” Saki develops the central idea of friendship and revenge. He does that by showing the transformation from the desire of revenge of two long enemies to a friendship when they are caught together in a difficult situation. Both of them get caught beneath branches in a land that has been in dispute for generations in their families. The feeling between them transform from wishing the other was dead to wanting to leave the past behind and restart as friends.

The first hint of their transformation is when Ulrich offers Georg his flask of wine. "Could you reach this flask if I threw it over to you?" asked Ulrich suddenly; "there is good wine in it, and one may as well be as comfortable as one can. Let us drink, even if to-night one of us dies."

Even when Georg refuses it, an idea begins to form in Ulrich's brain, out of the empathy of being in the same situation and suffering the same pain. "An idea was slowly forming and growing in his brain, an idea that gained strength every time that he looked across at the man who was fighting so grimly against pain and exhaustion. In the pain and languor that Ulrich himself was feeling the old fierce hatred seemed to be dying down."

Ulrich then decides to make his men help Georg before him if they show up first."If my men are the first to come you shall be the first to be helped, as though you were my guest. [...] Neighbour, if you will help me to bury the old quarrel I - I will ask you to be my friend."

My dear uncle,

I know you will understand immediately why I am writing to you. But it is my request that you do not stop reading until the end.

I know it's a huge shock to learn about my cousin's pregnancy, especially that she's still in school and far too young to be starting this phase of motherhood. But I also want to point out some things that I feel you need to know about.

I have heard that you threatened to send her out of the house, which, I think, is a bad act that will affect and destroy our family. I know it is humiliating and shocking, but she is still your daughter and nothing will ever change that. Whether you disown her, kick her out of the house or even completely cut her off from the family, she is still the daughter of your blood and the unborn child will also be one too.

Moreover, acting harshly to her will only be detrimental to both baby and mother. In times like this, she needs more support rather than admonishment, especially from her own family. She needs the support, both emotionally and physically from you, her parents, and guidance for the future.

You are in shock and angry. Just imagine how shattered she will befeeling inside, knowing her family is angry and she has no one to turn to. So, rather than be angry at her, if you accept her and give her support, she will find it comforting and safe from others and their judgmental attitudes, which is sure to come. And when that comes, she will find comfort in the very place she has known and learned about love and loyalty.

Also, by accepting the baby and lovingly giving peace and security to them, you are helping raise another human being just as God wants us to do. And through your act, your daughter will learn how to be a good parent to her own daughter. This is a valuable lesson that she can learn firsthand from you directly. And that will become a building block for her own growth and maturity, in learning to become the perfect mother for her child.

Uncle, please try to understand and feel for her. She only wants and requires love and support from the family. She is already in a state of shock and distress and she needs no other stress, especially from the ones she expects to feel safe with.

So, it is my request that you reconsider my cousin's situation and act for the good of us all. I hope to visit you soon and I also hope to get good news soon. Take good care of each other.

Love,

Raina.

Read this excerpt from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: I have good dispositions; my life had been hitherto harmless, and, in some d

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Outward appearances can be deceiving.

Explanation:

In the quote, we can see that Frankenstein's monster (if we should call him that) tells us how he is harmless and can even be beneficial (meaning, helpful, useful), but all people choose to see is his appearance rather than what's inside.

Namely, Doctor Frankenstein brought a corpse back to life and thus created his monster. Obviously, a reanimated corpse looks scary and people often cannot see beyond the physical, which is something the monster is lamenting in the quote above. He says that even though he may look like a monster, his characteristics are not monstrous, and that people shouldn't read the book by its cover (in other words, outward appearances can be deceiving).
