Excerpt from Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children By Ransom Riggs I picked up the flashlight and stepped toward the trees

. My grandfather was out there somewhere, I was sure of it. But where? I was no tracker, and neither was Ricky. And yet something seemed to guide me anyway—a quickening in the chest; a whisper in the viscous air—and suddenly I couldn’t wait another second. I tromped into the underbrush like a bloodhound scenting an invisible trail. It’s hard to run in Florida woods, where every square foot not occupied by trees is bristling with thigh-high palmetto spears and nets of entangling skunk vine, but I did my best, calling my grandfather’s name and sweeping my flashlight everywhere. I caught a white glint out of the corner of my eye and made a beeline for it, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a bleached and deflated soccer ball I’d lost years before. I was about to give up and go back for Ricky when I spied a narrow corridor of freshly stomped palmettos not far away. I stepped into it and shone my light around; the leaves were splattered with something dark. My throat went dry. Steeling myself, I began to follow the trail. The farther I went, the more my stomach knotted, as though my body knew what lay ahead and was trying to warn me. And then the trail of the flattened brush widened out, and I saw him.
What is the main idea?
A. The narrator is searching in the woods.
B. Grandpa is lost in the woods.
C. The narrator is worried and searching for Grandpa.
D. Something has happened to Grandpa.

How did desdemona and othello meet
Doss [256]

Answer: Brabantio often invited Othello to his house, where he met Desdemona, and they fell in love.

Explanation:

Othello is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is a story about a powerful general of the Venetian army who is utterly betrayed by his deceitful friend, Iago.

In Act I, Scene III, Desdemona's father, Brabantio, argues she has been stolen from him by spells. The duke thus demands that Othello tells the whole story about his marriage to Desdemona. Othello admits that they got married, but insists that he did not use magic to persuade her to be with him. On this occasion, Othello explains that Brabantio invited him to his house, where they discussed his battle stories and journeys outside the civilized world. Desdemona overheard those stories, and wanted Othello to retell them to her. Impressed by what he had to say, Desdemona fell in love with Othello.

Why is “The Village Blacksmith” a part of americas National mythology?
OLga [1]

Answer:

The blacksmith embodies many core American values and is the backbone of a typical American community.

Explanation:

The poem "The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes a blacksmith who had to juggle his time between his family and his work. But he seems to have a successful way of managing all his priorities.

The poem is an image of a blacksmith who represents "everyman", a perfect role model for the people to get inspired from. He epitomizes the image of an individual who has a managing ability to keep all his priorities in order, be it to his family, his work or even the community. This image of 'the blacksmith" came to be a representation of all the core values that embody the American society. It also represents the importance of the people who were the backbone of the American community, even during hard times.
