The paragraph I'm choosing is this one (the words in bold are colloquial words):

"Well, thish-yer Smiley had rat-ta.rriers, and chicken co.cks, and tom- cats, and all of them kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing for him to bet on but he'd match you. He ketp.hed a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'k.lated to ed.ercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him, too. He'd give him a little pun.ch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or may be a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. "

"Rewritten form of those bolded words only:

"Well, this here Smiley had rat tarriers, and chicken co-cks, and tomcats, and all of the kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing for him to bet on but he'd match you. He caught a frog one day, and took him home, and said he calculated to eradicate him, and so he never done anything for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him, too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. "

What does it mean when Grann says the Osage had the first-ever "underground reservation"?
lawyer [7]

The meaning of David Grann's statement that the Osage had the first-ever <em>"underground reservation"</em> is that the Osage tribe was able to secure the head-rights in the mineral resources in their territory through careful and visionary negotiations with the U.S. Government.

  • The Osage could sell off their allotted land but the head-rights to the underground mineral resources were not up for sale but can only be transferred through inheritance.

  • Based on Grann's <em>"Killers of the Flower Moon,"</em> which is <u>an Osage saying</u>, the Osage tribe appeared to be the only Native American tribe that negotiated favorably with the government to secure the future of their rights with regard to the mineral resources in their area.

Thus, David Grann could rightly say that the Osage had the first-ever <em>"underground reservation"</em> in his <em>"Killers of the Flower Moon" </em>because of the Osage's share in the tribe’s mineral trust that they secured for themselves.

The theme to Romeo and Juliet is hatred can be loves assassin.

Throughout story Romeo and Juliet, the two families are not on good relations and Juliet falls in love with Romeo, not knowing he's a Montague. When they both find out they're of opposing families, they are devastated because their families don't like each other. This is developed by: them first meeting each other, them discovering they are from opposing families, them working it out secretly, then them getting married. If Romeo was found with Juliet, he'd be killed. Hence the theme, hatred can be loves assassin.
