Who is the recipient in gift giving?

English

Answer:

The art of giving is a function of three main determinants: a gift, a giver and a recipient. When one of them is absent, the chain can never be completed, hence, the three have to be present to make the art of giving a success. Giving usually signifies appreciation, recognition, contentment and in most cases brotherliness.

The art of giving therefore entrenches joy, peace, progress and harmony, especially if the motive behind the art is very genuine. Mind you, some principal actors in the process can have a diabolical agenda, and this should not be a surprise, because human beings are a creation of different motives, both good and bad. On the receiving end is the recipient, who happens to be the ultimate beneficiary of the art of giving. Being a recipient of a gift only means that one has attracted the gratitude, recognition, friendliness or favour of the giver, depending on the motive behind the offer of the gift. But to continuously be a recipient is a nightmare. Nightmare because reciprocity is supposed to be the undergirding principle of giving, where a recipient today should be a giver tomorrow, even if the gift is not to the same person who hitherto gave one something. It is one who appreciates that is also appreciated, and one who gives is who is also given to. The Bible and the Qur'an both implore people to give, because there is blessing in giving. This doesn't mean it is bad to be a recipient, but always being one is a complete disaster. It is expressive of selfishness, tight-fistedness and non-appreciation

Read the passage from “Initiation.”
alexandr1967 [171]

Character vs self.

In the passage Millicent has just gone through one of the initiation tasks. The passage describes her as coming out of a basement room that was in complete darkness. The only light she sees is when she is let out of the room. Since this is an initiation and not mandatory imprisonment, Millicent has the ability to leave the darkened room so she is not going up against any external forces like other characters, nature, or society. She must battle the dark solitary confinement on her own. This is an internal character vs self conflict.

How was unwed pregnancy perceived at the turn of the century as opposed to today? What future would Grace Brown have faced as an
lakkis [162]

At the turn of the century, unwed pregnancy was seen as a scandal, something unacceptable in society and that made both the mother and the child despised by everyone and even by the family itself. Currently, unwed pregnancy is seen with less hostility.

As a single mother, Grace would have faced a very difficult future. She could be rejected by the family, be frowned upon in society and not be able to support herself and her son anymore, because in a factory she would hire a single mother.

By reading the letters, we can see that Grace was very afraid of being a single mother, because she knew it would be very difficult. For this reason, she begged her b0yfriend to assume the child's paternity.
