This is from Mark Twains book called A Dogs Tale. I’ll mark brainliest for an answer, please hurry!

Answers

Answer:The book is told from the standpoint of a poor household pet, a dog self-described by the first sentence of the story: "My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a Presbyterian." The story begins with a description of the dog's life as a puppy and her separation from her mother, which to her was inexplicable. Her puppy and her owner's new child were soon added to her new home. When a fire breaks out in the nursery, the dog risks her life to drag the baby to safety. In the process, her motives are misunderstood and she is cruelly beaten by the father of the family with a cane, resulting in her leg getting broken. Soon, however, the truth of the situation is discovered and she receives no end of praise. Later in the story, her puppy dies, killed by the father of the family to prove his opinion on optics to his scientist peers. Only a servant seems to realize the irony of this, exclaiming, "Poor little doggie, you saved HIS child!" In the end, the dog (who does not realize her puppy is dead until her own hour is upon her) pines inconsolable over the grave of the puppy with the clear implication that she will do so until death.

How does the war between Ukraine and Russia affect the world? Explain

Answers

to summarize it, the war is hurting the global economy. everyone is being effected by it. noticed the gas prices going up? ukraine is one of the largest gas transmission systems in the world and with russia invading and less gas being transported, it will become more expensive due to the fact that there’s less and a lot of people need gas. prices are going to keep increasing and increasing. i’m also sure there’s problems in poland since they are providing a lot of ukrainian refugees with shelter, but the economy is what is being effected globally.

Answer:

[tex]beinggreat78[/tex] here to help!

The conflict between these two countries causes inflation, scarce resources, and even worse, the economy is being brought down dramatically. In order to bring the economy back up, the U.S has raised gas prices and are halting testing. This may be good news for them, but terrible news for us. Gas prices skyrocket everyday. Why are they skyrocketing? Because Ukraine is the main country that can effectively provide gas. These constant skyrockets mean we may not be able to use our cars, which is even worse news. That is because if nobody can use cars, nobody will buy cars, and the economy will shoot down faster than ever, leading to disaster. Unfortunately, any country who is part of NADO, National Association of Development Organizations, can not step in and help by physically fighting.

Why not?

It is because we as a union are smart enough to know that we can get nuked by helping. Unfortunate, yes, however it is the truth we must face.
