Answer:
The theme of the story Birds of a feather is surviving in the unknown environment, adapting, and making new connections.
Explanation:
The story is connecting the experiences of the author, her Mami (mother), and Helen, to those of parakeet birds. <u>They both came to the unknown environment after a hard time and managed to survive and adapt, as well as make friends.</u> The birds were in the company of each other, just like the author had her Mami and later Helen. Parakeets are, therefore, the metaphor for the author’s experience, as well as Helen’s. Making friends with Helen is the key point in the story, as it shows how important it is to make connections, friends, and how similar some people might be, even though we think of them as very different to us.
Dylan Thomas’ “<em>Do not go gentle into that good night</em>” follows an iambic pentameter. For that reason, each line of the poem (except the second one of the fifth stanza <em>Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,</em>) has ten syllables (five feet). Each foot follows the same pattern: one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable and so on as in the example
Wild men | who caught | and sang | the sun | in flight
The stressed syllable is in bold.
Answer:
I believe there are two answers that apply to this question:
A. She believes their relationship has reached a turning point.
C. She is getting tired of talking.
Explanation:
"Hills Like White Elephants" is a short story by author Ernest Hemingway. One of the characters, Jig, is constantly referred to as the girl. However, no mention is made to her age, so we cannot know if she thinks she is too young to be a mother. Jig herself never says that, so we can eliminate option B. We can also eliminate option D. Jig seems to have understood that the world is not the same anymore now that she got pregnant. She knows she can't keep on traveling around, looking at things and trying new drinks - as she describes her life -, but she does not say anything about settling down in Spain.
Throughout the story, we watch her conversation with "the man", her partner. He wants her to have an abortion. He tries to convince her that the procedure is quite simple and that, once it is done, their life will go back to what it used to be. He says that is the only thing that is bothering them, incapable of saying the word "baby" to refer to "that thing", as if he does not wish to have any attachment to it. Jig grows tired of his incessant babbling and begs him to stop talking (option C). She is skeptical about his words and promises, knowing very well that their relationship will never be the same again. They have reached a turning point (option A). He does not love her anymore, he does not see her the same way he used to, he does not find her words interesting. She can see his selfishness clearly now, how insignificant what she wants is to him.
Christmas is really about family.
Getting to spend time with loved ones and cherish the amazing times you guys have together.
This is also (based on opinion) about our savior, Jesus.
He died for our sins and since he was born on Christmas, we celebrate him.
Merry Christmas! <span />
