Answer and Explanation:

Mother, Mr. Weems, and Tom are characters in the short story "The Deep", by Anthony Doerr. Part of the story is set in 1929, the year of the Great Depression. Tom has a heart condition and, after his mother is told he will live up to be 16, 18 if he's lucky, she does everything she can to protect him. Since the doctor says to avoid surprises or excitement, Mother ends up making a recluse out of Tom.

Mr. Weems rents a room in Tom's house, and he does not agree with the way Tom's mother acts. One day, a girl Tom likes shows up to give him a jar full of tadpoles. Tom's mother throws them away angrily. This is where Mr. Weems decides to talk to her. He tells her Tom deserves to live his life, "stretch his legs". What he means is that there is no point in keeping him alive if he cannot do anything. If he is going to die, she might as well let him live.

The resolution is favorable. Mother starts to give Tom more freedom, and he gets to interact more with that girl. And it turns out Mr. Weems was right. Even though his heart condition makes him suffer, Tom enjoys being alive. By the end of the story, he is already 21 years old, and very grateful for having one more day to live.

A real war and a "war" of fighting to grow old and successful

Based on the excerpt, Robert Louis Stevenson was reminiscing about his days as a younger man and the internal conflicts he had.

In the first paragraph, he talked about the real war he witnessed where he heard the "loudness" of the battles and the "pain of men's wounds". He also talked about another internal "war" which had to do with "slavery of competition", toiling for years and which culminated to fighting to be old and successful.

I need some to write at least two paragraphs written about
Lerok [7]

Answer:

If you go around schools asking students what they use social media for, there will most likely be a lot of answers such as “ To mess around when I get bored.”but sometimes children or young adults will say “ To keep in contact with friends or family when I don’t have there phone number.”

There are many reasons to be only social media some good and some bad but if you think about what would everything be like without it. Yes there most likely would be less students on there phone during class. But I’d there was no social media people wouldn’t be able to contact friends that have moved and you don’t have there number. What if there was a family member that wanted to show every one in their family a picture of something they are doing without making a huge group chat.

That is why I believe that having an age limit on people being on social media.

noname [10]

Answer:

"She leveled her spear, and threw it with all her might. The boar squealed as the sharp point pierced its skin."

Explanation:

In James Baldwin's "Old Greek Stories", one such story is that of Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress" of Arcadia. She had been abandoned in the forest by the orders of her father, the king of Arcadia at birth because of her gender and brought up first by wild bears and then by hunters.

The theme of gender discrimination is prevalent not only in this story but also in the society as a whole. Women are presumed to be the weaker sex while the men are supposed to be brave and do the hard work, go hunting etc. This shows the gender disparity which through Atalanta, this disparity was put into focus. Her decision to go on the hunt shocked the other men, who <em>"had never heard of such a thing as a girl going out with heroes to hunt wild boars." </em>But Atalanta showed that a person's gender is less significant compared to his/ her actions She strike the first wound and help kill the wild boar. During the hunt, she was the one who brought the boar to a standstill with her spear, making the "<em>boar squealed as the sharp point pierced its skin.</em>" This act shows that her actions matter more than what the men think of her and women and general.
