English
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
4 0

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: Pearl notices that the scarlet letter on her mother's bosom has paved the way for lack of sunshine in her mother´s lie.

Explanation:

The question refers to The Scarlet Letter: A Romance (1850), by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

In the provided excerpt, Pearl notices that the sun seems to dislike her mother because of the scarlet letter on her bosom. Pearls comment about how that doesn´t happen to her because she doesn't have the scarlet letter yet implies that she thinks she will when she grows up to be an adult woman.

This means that she doesn´t think that the scarlet letter is unique to her mother, but something she will also get when she grows up. And she doesn´t admire her mother for it, as she dislikes how the sun runs away from her.

Pearl´s words imply that she, who is usually aware of things that others can´t see, has realized that the lack of sunshine in her mother’s life is caused by the scarlet letter on her bosom.

What might be the significance of Caedmon being a simple cowherd?
lara [203]

As Bede, the writer, was a devout Christian, he used many references to Christianity in his work. Jesus Christ was considered a shepherd to his flock as he led people out of sinful lives into sin-free lives. Similarly, Caedmon is said to have led people away from their vices and toward the path to heaven through his song. A cowherd was also a person at the bottom of the social ladder. This fact might be meant to imply that through divine grace, even a man from a humble background may change many lives.

If Theresa's daughter is my daughters mother then who am I to Theresa?
solmaris [256]
<span>You are either a son in law or a daughter in law to Theresa. That's because her daughter is the mother of your daughter. That means you're married to Theresa's daughter, who is your daughter's mother. It is a common misconception that Theresa is actually your wife. Of course we don't have information whether they're all connected biologically or someone might have been adopted.</span>

LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER; COMMONLIT
vova2212 [387]

Answer: Mary's pregnancy makes it all the more shocking that her husband is planning to leave her. She is six months pregnant—very far along for him to decide to bail out of the marriage. Further, the coldness with which her husband delivers the news must also be shocking. He says to her:

But there needn’t really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn’t be very good for my job. She loved her husband up until this point, looking forward to his coming home from work as her "blissful" time. She liked being with him and even enjoyed the way he sat in his chair.

When she finds out he is divorcing her, her initial response is disbelief and denial. She then kills him quickly with the frozen lamb, not even thinking about what she is doing until after he is dead.

Her knowledge of having a child to protect and her desire that it not be orphaned then influences Mary to cover up her crime.

Explanation:hope this helps
