How was information passed down between generations of mayans?
algol [13]
<h2>Hello! :)</h2><h2 />

  There is a limited amount of information on Mayan culture because in the Common Era the Spanish instituted a policy of killing all Mayan priests and burning their books.  Catholic missionaries infact destroyed all but four of their sacred bark-paper books in the 16th century.  Information was mainly passed down through generations and generations by a highly detailed hierogliphic writing system.

I need help writing a pyramid plot analysis for The Rocking Horse Winner by D. H. Lawrence.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

The story describes a young middle-class English woman who "had no luck." Although outwardly successful, she is haunted by a sense of failure; her husband is not good and her job as a commercial artist does not earn as much as she would like. Family life exceeds their income and unspoken anxiety about money permeates the home. Her children, a son Paul and her two sisters, feel this anxiety; children even say they can hear the house whispering, "There must be more money."

Paul tells his uncle Oscar Cresswell about gambling on horse races with Bassett, the outfielder. He has been making bets using his pocket money and has won and saved three hundred and twenty pounds. Sometimes he says he is "sure" of a winner for an upcoming race and that the horses he names win, sometimes with remarkable odds. Uncle Oscar and Bassett make big bets on the horses that Paul names.

After more profit, Paul and Oscar arrange to give the mother a gift of £ 5,000, but the gift only allows her to spend more. Disappointed, Paul tries harder than ever to be "lucky". As the Derby approaches, Paul is determined to learn the winner. Concerned about his health, his mother returns home from a party and discovers his secret. He has spent hours riding his rocking horse, sometimes overnight, until he "gets there," to a clairvoyant state where he can be sure of the winner's name.

On the other hand, the pyramid explanation always starts from an important or more pathognomonic point of the analysis, and then it is explained in different aspects. Ideally, the topic of the pyramid peak should be the most relevant and, as it develops, it should cover other less relevant topics, thus considering the less important topics as those of the "base".

Explanation:

Think of a pyramid structure that starts at the top as a single point and expands more as we go to different lower levels.

Which linking verb phrase would best connect the hydrogen bonds term in the map to one of the other terms?
IrinaK [193]
Hydrogen bonds form between a hydrogen that is engaged in a polar covalent bond with oxygen or nitrogen (thus carrying a partial positive charge) and a different oxygen or nitrogen also engaged in a polar covalent bond (and thus carrying a partial negative charge). I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

How does a story’s time period provide the reader with a reference point? Your answer should be 2 to 3 sentences.
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The story's time period provides the reader with a reference point, for if someone reads a book about the early eighteen hundreds, they can assume that slavery has not yet been abolished and that people are outwardly racist. This helps provide a reference point, as if you didn't know the time period, you would be confused as why these events were happening.
