Answer:

(a)Even before the sun rises and warms the sea, there are men at work, braving the elements. The fishermen — depending on whether the type of catch they want — set out in the middle of the night or very early in the morning. To catch fish with metal hooks suspended by nylon threads is what takes the longest, and this sees them travelling deep into the sea. But to get a catch using their nets they don't have to travel far. A ride in their motorised boats before sunrise will do. But there are also times when they go deep sea fishing in large boats stocked with food and water to help them survive 10 days at sea.

Once they are back in the morning, the boat is hauled to shore by the fishermen, who venture out in groups of four, sharing the burden, cost, profits and losses alike. There are days when they are blessed with plenty, but on other days they return empty-handed, with a loss of about Rs. 400 that they spend on diesel to fuel the motors.

The catch is removed from the nets and sorted according to the type — crabs, Red Snapper, Blue Fish, Butter Fish, Cat Fish, Mullet, Smelt, Salmon and more. The fishermen need to invest in 10 different types of nets depending on what they plan to catch, with the most expensive net costing around Rs.1 lakh, and each weighing between five kilos and 400 kilos.

Once sorted, the fishermen's wives sell the fish in the market. Fishermen also sell to vendors depending on the best price offered and the vendors in turn sell them at the market.

In the evenings, the fishermen are free to relax, watch TV, spend time with family and catch up on gossip over mending nets and preparing for the next day.

While it is a profession filled with uncertainty, also uncertain is the future of this profession. Many fishermen send their children to school and want them to hold other jobs in fields like software and teaching. They say that they do not want their children to struggle as they do and want a better life for them, leaving the future of this sea-dependent occupation in question.

Which phase of a writing strategy involves deciding on the topic and the purpose of the essay?
Bogdan [553]
Well, from my experience, it would be prewriting. Prewriting is where you come up and brainstorm ideas. Its when you scribble ideas and write out a plan on the direction that you want your paper to head to, where you would write a list or draw a picture on key points you want to hit on the paper.

Short answer:

  • It hurts Waverly when her mother tries to make it look better, so she does not like it.
  • The best torture is not about physical pain; it is about mental torture.

Explain and support your ideas/claims with text evidence.

Her mother does her hair. It can be seen in the discussion. Her mother "twisted and yanked on my thick black hair until she formed two tightly wound pigtails" in the morning. Waverly hated it when her mother did her hair. This text shows Her mother twists and yanks her hair into tight pigtails, indicating she was upset with her hairstyle. She disliked her mother's hairstyle.

"We do torture. best torture. "

Understanding the meaning of a lesson is less important to me than learning it. Throughout the story, Waverly uses a number of methods. It was not the "best torture." Torture does not have to be painful to be effective. Tormenting someone's mind requires great pain. Because he is mentally tortured, Waverly is good at chess. So, her mother was correct when she said that "We torture people all the time." It is the best thing that could happen. " "We do torture." "The best torture," she says, without referring to physical pain. For her, the best way to torture someone is to make them feel bad about themselves. The best torture.

How is film a universally understood language?<br><br><br><br>please help
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Film is a universally understood language because, like reading, it brings the viewer to a new world. Throughout different genres of films you can find different forms of inspiration. A good musical will almost always make you want to sing. A touching romance will make you appreciate your partner more, or make you long for a true love of your own. A war movie can show you the brutalities of battle and show you the sacrifices people make for a cause. Horror movies make you afraid and teen culture shows, no matter how cheesy, always end up making you laugh. Film inspires because it connects to our emotions. Fear, love, sadness, anger, joy, sacrifice, and disgust. Emotions are felt by everyone, everywhere. That is how film connects us, through how we feel and that is how film is understood b everyone, everywhere.
