Answer: i love this story so much, The magi are also well-known as the Three Wise Men. According to the story of the magi, these men traveled far and long in order to find Jesus and give their gifts to Him. The gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh were very precious during that time. They were also a contrast to the poverty into which Jesus was born; He could not use these gifts. However, the gifts and the long journey were great sacrifices for these three men. They symbolized the deep love they had for Jesus. Likewise, Della and Jim each sacrificed their most prized possessions—Jim’s watch and Della’s beautiful hair. The gifts may not seem wise to the reader because the two are unable to use them. However, O. Henry calls the young newlyweds wise and compares them to the magi. Their gifts were given to symbolize the deep love they had for each other. Even in their extreme poverty, they were rich. O. Henry's beautiful Christmas tale draws many allusions to the biblical magi, or wise men, and on so many levels, in his story "The Gift of the Magi." First, the magi from the bible can be compared to Jim and Della because they all sacrifice so much in obtaining and giving their chosen gifts. The Magi gave very expensive ore, metals, and oils to the baby Jesus while also traveling for years to find him. Jim and Della are like the magi by this same token because they both sacrifice something very dear to them in order to obtain and give their gifts. To Jim, his family watch was priceless; and to Della, her hair symbolized the time and care it takes to maintain such long locks, but also represented her femininity and role as a young bride. Authors uses allusions, or parallels, such as these to drive home a connection between the characters and universal human truth. At the time, many of O. Henry's readers were Christian of some kind and many understood the sacrifices taken in order to give gifts at Christmas time. By giving the title to Jim and Della's story a connection to the wise men, the audience is consciously aware of the connection that the author wants to make. Part of the conclusion that can be drawn between the title and the story is that no matter how wealthy or poor a person is, giving a gift with love is the most precious of sentiments; and, you don't have to be a magi to give a gift that matters.

Which of the following lines foreshadows Romeo's tragic end?
A What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
B But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.
C 'Tis almost morning; I would have thee gone:
And yet no further than a wanton's bird;
Who lets it hop a little from her hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
And with a silk thread plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of his liberty.
D O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tom
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.
Answer:
The best answer seems to be D: O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tom
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.

1 A blizzard struck the city of Phoenix, Arizona, on July 5, 2011. But it wasn’t a frozen, white, swirling kind of blizzard. This storm was gritty, dark, and smothering. It was known as a “black blizzard.” “Black blizzard” is an American nickname for a dense cloud of dry particles that blankets a large area. It is commonly called a dust storm. The Phoenix blizzard towered 5,000 feet into the air, stretched 100 miles across, and plowed a 150-mile path before it finally calmed down. During the storm, visibility was nearly zero. 2 It’s common to see a swipe of dust, dirt, or sand stirred up by a gust of wind. A black blizzard is the same experience multiplied many times over. Such storms are powered by high winds. Like water flowing in a river, fast air currents pick up and transport loose, dry soil. Lighter particles are swept up and carried for miles. Heavier particles are pushed forward by saltation. Saltation happens when blowing particles knock into stationary particles on the ground. The blowing particles set them in motion, too. Soon many particles bounce along by a series of skips and jumps. Saltated particles can work together to nudge pebbles and other objects. The nudging action is called creep. Saltation and creep come together to move massive amounts of material. In September 2009, a giant dust storm moved five million tons of red outback soil through Sydney, Australia! Watch Out . . . 3 Dust storms can severely affect whatever or whoever gets in their way. The grinding blast damages crops, livestock, buildings, and vehicles. Dust storms can have harmful effects on human health, too. They make breathing illnesses much worse. Dust storms stir up bacteria, molds, and fungi, which can cause “valley fever,” an infection that often follows dust storms in Phoenix. Virologists believe valley fever is caused by a soil fungus. . . . For a Dust Storm Near You 4 The threat of dust storms is greatest in Earth’s dry regions. what sentence from the article best states the central idea

Discuss the role of education in a repressed society. compare the way the pigs in Animal
Farm and the slave owners in American history tried to withhold reading to maintain
power. How would the literacy of the powerless threaten the power of those in control?
Please help it’s due in like an hour
Answer and Explanation:
In a simple and direct way, we can affirm that education provides knowledge and knowledge is very powerful, as it allows people not to be deceived, to be able to think efficiently and allows them to understand their rights and roles within society. This causes people to reject false ideas that act negatively in their lives and have the necessary knowledge to combat all types of abuse and exploitation to which they are subjected. In other words, education provides power to impotent people, so they are able to combat oppressive systems and incompetent and aggressive leaders.
This was the reason why slaveholders did not allow slaves to have access to education. Frederick Douglass, said that when he was a slave, his master forbade his wife to teach him to read, as this would make him have ideas that would put him against white people and reject his state of slavery, in addition to teaching other blacks to rebel against whites. This shows how knowledge is liberating and only education can do that.
We can also see an example of this in "Animal Farm" where animals with less access to education, horses, were the most exploited and harmed and the lack of education made them completely dependent on highly abusive leaders, who had knowledge to do evil.
How do the gifts affect Della and jim's relationship?
“The gift of the Magi”
Answer: The effect is to give readers an oxymoronic happy sadness all at the same time. It makes the reader sad to know that Jim has sold his watch to afford the combs for Della's hair, while knowing that Della cut her hair to afford the chain for Jim's watch.
Explanation:
Answer:
There is no evidence in the text to suggest that the relationship between Jim and Della, in O.
Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi," is anything but an ardent love between two very devoted and charming young people.

Answer:
Hello Richard,
I believe you are doing great.
I'm emailing you at this time to tell you about our trip to Innoson Plastics. It was a great time we all had in the factory.
We had a Factory Supervisor who took us around to see the different sections of the factory. The first section we got to was the Injection Blowing section. This is where we saw how some of the plastic cups and buckets are made using the injection molding machine.
Also, we were taken to the Rotary section where we were taught how the overhead plastic tanks are made. We were shown the furnace which releases enough heat to melt the polymers. Also, we were shown how the cooler cools the freshly manufactured product.
The trip boosted my understanding of our current course and gave me a perspective of a Polymer Engineer.
I hope to see you soon to share more with you.
Best Regards.

In boy in the stripped pajamas chapter 9 what message did the author develop by creating the characters this way?
Answer:
When you say stripped do you mean a girl st//:ripping the pole.
Explanation:
Read the excerpt from chapter 17 of The Awakening. [Mrs. Pontellier] was somewhat familiar with such scenes. They had often made her very unhappy. On a few previous occasions she had been completely deprived of any desire to finish her dinner. Sometimes she had gone into the kitchen to administer a tardy rebuke to the cook. Once she went to her room and studied the cookbook during an entire evening, finally writing out a menu for the week, which left her harassed with a feeling that, after all, she had accomplished no good that was worth the name. The excerpt best demonstrates which emerging theme
The excerpt best demonstrates which emerging theme?
a.Women can feel a great deal of pressure to conform to society’s expectations of female duties.
b.Women who have the assistance of a cook are still responsible for the outcome of the food preparations.
c.Women can only be happy if they perceive themselves as successful at fulfilling their domestic duties.
d.Women who are expected to perform specific domestic duties should have access to reliable resources.
Answer:
c.Women can only be happy if they perceive themselves as successful at fulfilling their domestic duties.
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from chapter 17 of The Awakening, Mrs. Pontellier is narrated to be unhappy with some scenes at her home where she has to go chastise the cook, and even going as far as looking at the cook book, but still unsatisfied.
Therefore, the excerpt best demonstrates the emerging theme that women can only be happy if they perceive themselves as successful at fulfilling their domestic duties.
Considering the content of the excerpt, the excerpt best demonstrates the emerging theme of "Women can feel a great deal of pressure to conform to society’s expectations of female duties."
This is because the excerpt showed that Mrs. Pontellier constantly gets pressure from those around her on how to perform her duties as a female.
This is mainly on domestic activities like cooking which she had to study the cookbook and write the menu for the week.
These actions make Mrs. Pontelleir feel harassed and without any accomplishment, yet she is expected to do it to avoid backlash from those around her.
Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is "Women can feel a great deal of pressure to conform to society’s expectations of female duties."

3. mother said that he had to do his home-
work then. (Into direct speech)
-
Answer:
Mother said "He has to do his homework now."
Explanation:
When describing something that someone said directly is called direct speech while reporting the same event without the speech marks and not using the exact same words is known as reporting speech. To change between the two requires the change in the tense of the verbs and also some phrases or time words, according to their structure. For example, yesterday is changed to the previous day in the indirect speech and so on.
The given indirect speech "mother said that he had to do his home-work" will be changed into the direct speech as given below-
Mother said, "He has to do his home-work now."
Here, the apparent changes are the speech marks (" "), the comma after "said", and the change in "then" to "now".
