Mortified means to be humiliated or embarrassed
andrew-mc [135]4 years ago

Answer:

In this context, to be mortified means <em>to be embarrassed, to be humiliated.</em>

Explanation:

We can analyze the meaning by studying the word of origin: <em>mortificare</em>. If, like it says in the given statement, mortificare in Latin means <em>to cause death</em>, we can infer how Janis felt, after she realized her brother had read her diary. She felt so embarrassed and humiliated that she probably felt like dying, <u>in a figurative way</u>. <em>She was so mortified, she felt she was dying.</em>

10 pts <br> Finish this...<br> Money isn't everything in life because (opinion)
DedPeter [7]

Because there is more to life than just money. For example, you cannot buy love with money. Maybe you can buy someone who loves you for your money. But not someone who loves you for who you are. You cannot buy love with money.

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:

<u>Eye Contact</u> is key. But don't stare

<u>Table Manners : </u>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, <u>" No Thank You. "</u>

When accepting say, <u>" Yes Please. " </u>

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

<u>When entering/leaving : </u>( 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 :)

<u>Phone Calls : </u>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.

In 300 words or less, identify a conflict from “The Most Dangerous Game,” identify what type it is, and explain why it is import
Fofino [41]

Answer:

I read this story my freshmen year! I love it.

I wrote this last year:

The most important event in "The Dangerous Games," is when Rainsford is getting hunted. At the first part of the story he does not care how animals feel when they get hunted or shot. Now he knows what the animals go through when they are being hunted, because he is the prey. "Don't talk rot, Whitney," said Rainsford. "You're a big-game hunter, not a philosopher. Who cares how a jaguar feels?" So when he says that to his friend Whitney, he does not care about animals or how they feel. "Nerve, nerve, nerve!" he panted, as he dashed along. A blue gap showed between the trees dead ahead. Ever nearer drew the hounds. Rainsford forced himself on toward that gap. He reached it. It was the shore of the sea. Across a cove he could see the gloomy gray stone of the Chateau. Twenty feet below him the sea rumbled and hissed. Rainsford hesitated. He heard the hounds. Then he leaped far out into the sea. . . . " That part of the story he panics, like one of the animals would and does anything to get away from the hunter.
