The Bet is Anton Chekhov's short story which describes a bet between a lawyer and a banker. They argue about a capital punishment and the former claims that life imprisonment is better than that because at least you know that you are living. At this point, the banker makes a bet with him in which he will give a lawyer 2 million if he is imprisoned for 15 years. The lawyer agrees and the story then shows how his thoughts change over the years because of the books he reads, because of the wine he tastes and most importantly because of the life he lives awaiting his freedom. In the end of the story, the lawyer succeeds changing the banker into someone different which he claims that 2 million is meaningless for him now. The correct answer for the development of the banker is thus the first option. To avoid arousing unnecessary talk, he took from the table the writing in which the millions were renounced, and when he got home locked it up in the fireproof safe is the last sentence of the story in which the banker tries to save the identity of the lawyer by this way.

How does “Men of Honor” reflect what Lincoln called “the unfinished work?” What responsibility do we have to follow through on a

daser333 [38]

Answer:

it referred to America's unfinished work to win the fight against racism

Explanation:

Remember, when President Lincoln made the statement,

"It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that, government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

The "Men of Honor" movie focuses on the life of a black Navy officer (Carl Brashear ) who had to struggle with racism in the navy until he gained national recognition for his bravery.

The actual “new birth of freedom" that Lincoln envisioned was one where each citizen is treated equally and fairly by other citizens, a responsibility many want to follow.

PLZZZ need helppp!!!!What effect does the author's sensory description of the beautiful evening at the pier have on the story? W

myrzilka [38]

The sensory effect that the description causes is to make the reader feel and see the night on the pier as if he were present at the place. This has the function of extending the reader's understanding of the story, as he feels that he is part of the narrative.

<h3>What is sensory description?</h3>

A description that stimulates the five senses.
A description that makes use of imagery.
A description that uses many adjectives.

A sensory description is important to make the reader participate in the story. This is because, in addition to the mental images, the reader can feel the elements being described. This makes the reading more immersive, promotes greater reader participation, and makes the understanding of the story more comprehensive.
