Answer:

The main themes in The Miracle Worker are perception and prejudice, the importance of communication, perseverance and patience, and love and letting go. Perception and prejudice: Annie is able to see Helen as an equal, while the Kellers learn to see beyond their initial judgments about Annie.

The Miracle Worker, author William Gibson conveys a greater purpose than merely telling the story of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan. There are several themes, or meanings, Gibson shares with us about life. One such theme is that of discipline. Throughout the play, the idea of disciplining Helen is a point of conflict. Annie wants to discipline Helen consistently. Annie realizes that Helen will benefit from having boundaries in her life, and Annie expects Helen to behave appropriately. Captain Keller and Kate, on the other hand, do not discipline Helen. They have few expectations of her, and their pity prevents Helen from learning.

Another theme in The Miracle Worker is the theme of authority. Several characters struggle for authority throughout the play: Captain Keller, Helen, and Annie. Gibson uses symbolism to enhance the theme of authority. Symbolism is when an object represents something else. In this case, keys symbolize authority. The character who possesses the keys is the person in charge of the household. We see Helen with the keys. Annie is in charge of the keys during Helen’s temper tantrum in the breakfast scene. Later, Helen gives the keys to her mother. At the end of the play, Helen takes the keys from her mother and gives them to Annie. This is symbolic of Helen accepting Annie as an authority figure over her.

Food chain of grass grass hopper and owl
Alik [6]

Answer:

Producers, or autotrophs, make their own organic molecules. Consumers, or heterotrophs, get organic molecules by eating other organisms. A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass as ... When we're talking about their role in food chains, we can call autotrophs producers.

Energy must constantly flow through an ecosystem for the system to remain stable. What exactly does this mean? Essentially, it means that organisms must eat other organisms. Food chains (Figure below) show the eating patterns in an ecosystem. Food energy flows from one organism to another. Arrows are used to show the feeding relationship between the animals. The arrow points from the organism being eaten to the organism that eats it. For example, an arrow from a plant to a grasshopper shows that the grasshopper eats the leaves. Energy and nutrients are moving from the plant to the grasshopper. Next, a bird might prey on the grasshopper, a snake may eat the bird, and then an owl might eat the snake. The food chain would be:

plant → grasshopper → bird → snake → owl.

A food chain cannot continue to go on and on. For example the food chain could not be:

plant → grasshopper → spider → frog → lizard → fox → hawk.

Food chains only have 4 or 5 total levels. Therefore, a chain has only 3 or 4 levels for energy transfer.

How do the grasshopper and the grass interact?

Grasshoppers don't just hop on the grass. They also eat the grass. Other organisms also eat the grass, and some animals even eat the grasshopper. These interactions can be visualized by drawing a food web.

Hope this answer helps you :)

When would a writer most likely use a fast pace?
Taya2010 [7]
To show that time has passed

- describing an important event doesn’t make sense because it’s important they wouldn’t want to rush through it
- introducing a character doesn’t make sense because getting to know a character helps to build your story
- creating a calm feeling doesn’t make sense because calm is usually associated with slow pace
