Answer: D) The Callentine family brought peace to their kingdom, and were rewarded by getting a beautiful daughter.
Explanation:
<em>Beauty Is a Beast</em> is a book by D. M. Larson, about a spoiled princess named Beauty. The story begins with the fairy's monologue. In it, the fairy describes the royal Callentine family. In their kingdom, people are treated kindly and everyone lives in peace. Because they are such generous rulers, they have been rewarded with a beautiful daughter by the fairy.
Answer and Explanation:
Even though your question does not mention the book or story which it concerns, we may assume it is about the short story "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver, since the three characters in the story are the narrator, his wife, and her blind friend.
The narrator's initial feelings toward the blind man, Robert, are permeated with prejudice. He sees himself as superior simply because he can "see". He thinks of Robert as an incomplete man, a man who cannot be happy nor make a woman happy. He treats Robert as if his presence were an nuisance, as if a blind man were the worst company one could have. He also thinks it is an absurd for Robert to have a full beard and not wear dark sunglasses, just like a normal non-blind person.
We can quickly tell the one who truly has an impairment is the narrator himself. He certainly can see with his eyes; he is not physically blind. But he cannot go beyond that. He does not truly "see". Robert knows the narrator's wife much better than the narrator does. Robert sees more, because he listens, because he learns, because he is willing to not judge. The narrator's relationship with other people and even himself is one of appearances, shallow and judgmental.
Answer:
The present paper exposes algorithmic results providing a vision about sleep functions which complements biological theory and experiments. Derived from the algorithmic theory of information, the theory of adaptation aims at quantifying how an inherited or acquired piece of knowledge helps individuals to survive. It gives a scale of complexity for survival problems and proves that some of them can only be solved by dynamical management of memory associating continuous learning and forgetting methods. In this paper, we explain how a virtual robot "Picota" has been designed to simulate the behavior of a living hen. In order to survive in its synthetical environment, our robot must recognize good seeds from bad ones and should take rest during night periods. Within this frame, and facing the rapid evolution of to-be-recognized forms, the best way to equilibrate the energetic needs of the robot and ensure survival is to use the nightly rest to reorganize the pieces of data acquired during the daily learning, and to trash the less useful ones. Thanks to this time-sharing, the same circuits can be used for both daily learning and nightly forgetting, and thus costs are lower; however, this also forces the system to "paralyze" the virtual robot, and therefore the night algorithm is reminiscent of paradoxical (REM) sleep. The algorithm of the robot takes advantage of the alternation between wakefulness or activity and the rest period. This diagram quite accurately recalls the REM period. In the future, the convergence between the neurophysiology of sleep and the theory of complexity may give us a new line of research in order to elucidate sleep functions.
