Answer:

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

"The Gifts of Feodor Himkoff", is a very heart touching story by Arthur Quiller. It is narrated in the first person. The narrator is a frequent visitor to a coastal area called Zoze Point. It is a difficult place to reach. He recalls of one of his visits in cold December.  

He had been walking continuously for four days and was totally worn out. He wanted a cup of warm milk to keep him alive when he chanced upon a small cottage with a fire burning. As he knocked at the door shyly he was greeted by a poorly clad old lady. The woman invited him inside and offered him a cup of tea. There was an old deaf man slouched in a chair. He was Isaac, the woman’s ailing husband.

The woman served him a very high quality tea complemented with rich dainties. When the narrator asked from where the gourmet came she narrated the story of the gifts of Feodor Himkoff.

Long ago Isaac had lost his only son. He was a soldier brutally killed by the Russians. Ever since, Isaac had vowed that he would slew every Russian he saw to avenge his son’s death. Some years later a Russian soldier with the middle finger of his hand missing, had knocked at his door in search of shelter. He and fifteen soldiers were badly injured and had been shipwrecked. Isaac cruelly refused shelter and all the Russians perished. Next day onwards Isaac went to the shore and buried the bodies that floated ashore.

A few years letter Feodor Himkoff, the brother of the soldier with the missing finger came to meet Isaac. He had come to thank him for giving his brother and his crew a peaceful burial. Ever since he had been sending the rich gifts to Isaac. As a deed of redemption Isaac and his wife did not touch the gifts but served them to all the weary travellers who sought shelter in their warm cottage. They no longer refused any one shelter.

How is power developed,destroyed, and restored in Macbeth?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Power remains one of the crucial themes of <em>Macbeth</em>. The theme of power and ambition to gain it is evident in almost all the characters in the play - but primarily Macbeth himself.

At the beginning of the play, Macbeth has enough power - he is a good, brave soldier. Upon hearing the witches' prophecy, however, he realizes that it is not enough for him to be a soldier. By blindly following the prophecy and his wife's instructions, he becomes less powerful. Both the Three witches, and Macbeth's wife, therefore, have control over his life at this point. It is Lady Macbeth that convinces Macbeth to kill Duncan in order to become a king, even though Macbeth is clearly having second thoughts about it. At this point of the play, Macbeth's wife is more decisive and powerful than him.

When Macbeth kills Duncan and becomes the new king, he does develop power, but not for long. He begins to feel guilty because of the murder he committed. This reduces his power - he becomes weak, he hallucinates, and is unable to think rationally, which leads to his death. Macbeth's character, therefore, undergoes the phases of having enough power as a soldier, having less power when listening to his wife, having more power as a king, and eventually losing all his power and dying.

It might be useful to note that other characters (Macduff and Malcolm, for instance) might not seem that powerful at the beginning of the play, but gradually gain more power. They use their power only when they have to - Macduff uses it to revenge his wife and children, murdered by Macbeth. He is wiser and more modest. At the end of the play, Macbeth dies, and Macduff and Malcolm seize power.

Which two things must be accomplished by the introduction if the author is using safe order
Aleks [24]
It’s a shame, then, that the second part of Pauling’s advice tends to be overlooked: “Most of (your ideas) will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.”  It’s certainly true that most ideas written on a Post-It note or submitted to an online system never get used, but the reason has more to do with a bias toward short-term payback in most innovation processes than informed filtration

Completely unrelated, but that is a great sentence, I want that painted as a quote on my wall.

Also, the punctiation seems right to me. But you might be able to use a ";" instead of a comma, im gonna check that real quick.
