"The Landlady" by Roald Dahl is a story that has a weird unusual hobby of taxidermy. She stuffs dead corpses. This hobby of her and how she deals with death is absolutely scary, at the same time interesting for readers to know her intentions behind it.
Explanation:
Billy, another main character of this story, is 17 and is annoyed by the acts of the Landlady. He thinks her to be odd and manner less as she keeps touching his hands and shoulders while talking to him. Her compliments on his appearance make Billy feel very uncomfortable, every time they have a conversation.
When the story progresses and readers get to know that the Landlady stuffed her dead pets in a briefcase and does the same with human bodies too, readers along with Billy start wondering about what kind of a sinister this woman is. She finally murders both other boys and stuff them like she did with the pets, at the end of the story.
Answer:
The boy and the man are journeying to the ocean.
Explanation:
'The Road' is a dystopian novel written by Cormac McCarthy. The novel is about the journey of a father and his son across bleak landscapes of North America.
<u>The journey of the father and his sone can be compared to that of a pilgrim, who journeys in search of life, food, and shelter. The man and the son are journeying across the landscapes (unspecified, though 'state roads' may refer to the roads of the United States) to the ocean to find new life</u>.
<u>When they do reach the ocean, they see that even the coastal area is left lifeless but they find a boat and supplies in it.</u>
Answer:
It depends on the context. It all depends on the phrase about picking your battles. If this is something that should be fought for, like the freedom of a country, there is a difference between giving up and pulling back for the sake of preserving lives. Risking your life and doing something you know will cost you your life are two very different things.
Overall, I would answer that abandoning a plan should come when the risk is far greater than the reward. And even when the risk and reward are equal, or the reward is greater, be mindful of how you go about it.
