3 0

when Holden is in the rain, that is a sign that he finally accepted responsibility for maturity.

likewise, the rain in which holden stands in is a symbol that his own curse is broken. holden could eventually escape the death of his older brother. When holden returned home for the first time, phoebe asked holden to reveal what he really liked. holden insisted that he was unable to come up with anything because he could not concentrate. however, in the rain, holden seemed to enjoy what he was doing. rain falling on the camp is a symbol that the curse of the camp is broken.

rain is also similar to baptism. just as baptism releases one of the original sins, the rain releases his youth. the rain cleaned his youth, just like an image of child cleaning his mud with water

Why do darry and Ponyboy not get along?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Darry is hard on him but only because he wants the best from ponyboy and more. Sometimes he doesn't mean to do it intentionally and yells at him. That would really show why they don't get along.

Hope it helps and have a great day! =D

I'm traveling to the United States for the first time. What do you know about manners in the U.S.? What tips do you have about b

Ivenika [448]

Explanation:

Eye Contact is key. But don't stare

Table Manners : When dining, people consider it not nice for a guest or dining partner to burp , eat with an open mouth.

When you want to refuse something politely say, " No Thank You. "

When accepting say, " Yes Please. "

Always say thank you when someone helps you out ( common knowledge )

When entering/leaving : ( stores, etc..) When the staff or anyone say "Welcome" or "Hello" , always say "Hello" back or it will make you look like you are ignoring them. Same goes to when you are leaving :)

Phone Calls : this one is important because when someone calls you and you start talking loudly or put them on speaker in public, it looks r u d e to the people beside you. They don't need to know what your private life is. I've had this happen a couple of times and its very uncomfortable.

Circle the examples of "convection"

Musya8 [376]

Answer: Convection defines the heat transfer by air or water. It is the process by which heat is transferred from a hotter body to a colder body.

Explanation:

Examples of convection are: Steam rising from a coffee mug, smoke rising from campfire, heater blowing warm air.

The warmer air moves up and the colder air sinks in or down. This is how the convection works.

The heat from coffee moves through the steam particles into the air. Another example is heated air blows from the blower. The smoke rising from fire carries warm air to the upside and colder air to downside.
