A City Mouse and a Country Mouse were acquaintances (friends), and the Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. The City Mouse came, and they sat down to a dinner of roots. The fare was not much to the taste of the guest, and presently he broke out with "My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I fare (live)! You must come and stay with me, and I promise you, you shall live on the fat of the land." So when he returned to the city he took the Country Mouse with him, and showed him into a pantry containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates. The Country Mouse had never seen anything like it, and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided: but before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and someone came in. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly uncomfortable hole. Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again; but someone else came in, and off they scuttled again. This was too much for the visitor. "Good-bye," said he, "I'm off. You live in the lap of luxury, I can see, but you are surrounded by dangers; whereas at home I can enjoy my simple dinner of roots and corn in peace."
I NEED A THEME FOR THIS !!!!!

Read the sentence from "Raccoon Olympics." It will not occur to me until I am an adult to wonder if Paul convinced all the kids he could train wild raccoons to compete in swim meets, or if he just made up a kinder explanation for me. What is the author's purpose in this sentence?
Answer:
The author's purpose in this sentence is to show how Paul cares about protecting children from knowing what is really going on with raccoons. In this case, the author shows how adults are responsible for putting children through bad experiences for them and creating an environment that makes them comfortable.
Explanation:
In "Raccoon Olympics" we are introduced to a narrative where traps are placed in the trees of an ecological field to capture raccoons. Paul King is the naturalist who works in the park and was hired to inspect these traps. He is talking to the storyteller, who is a child and her father. Paul explains that the traps are placed because raccoons do not have a predator in the environment and end up reproducing a lot and causing overpopulation problems. When we read the story, we can see that raccoons are captured to be killed, but in order not to traumatize the child and not expose him to uncomfortable situations, Paul says that raccoons are captured to participate in swimming competitions between them.

While the history of the Pakistani Nation according to the Pakistan government's official chronology started with the Islamic rule over Indian subcontinent by Muhammad bin Qasim[1] which reached its zenith during Mughal Era. In 1947, Pakistan consisted of West Pakistan (today's Pakistan) and East Pakistan (today's Bangladesh). The President of All-India Muslim League and later the Pakistan Muslim League, Muhammad Ali Jinnah became Governor-General while the secretary general of the Muslim League, Liaquat Ali Khan became Prime Minister.

Select two reasons the author likely describes Santha’s classmate in such detail in paragraph 9.

The author wants to show the commonalities between the English children and the Indian children.
The author wants to provide information about Indian and English friendships.

Answer:
The author wants to point out differences in Indian culture and English culture.
The author wants to provide a picture of an Indian girl assimilating to English mode of dress.
Explanation:
Below is an excerpt from paragraph 9 of the attached pdf:
"I suppose there were about a dozen Indian children in the school—which contained perhaps forty children in all—and four of them were in my class. They were all sitting at the back of the room, and I went to join them. I sat next to a small, solemn girl, who didn’t smile at me. She had long, glossy black braids and wore a cotton dress, but she still kept on her Indian jewelry—a gold chain around her neck, thin gold bracelets, and tiny ruby studs in her ears. Like most Indian children, she had a rim of black kohl around her eyes.
The cotton dress should have looked strange, but all I could think of was that I should ask my mother if I couldn’t wear a dress to school, too, instead of my Indian clothes."
how does the author support the claim in paragraph 2 the competitors and their design teams are pioneers
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
How does the author support the claim in paragraph 2 that " Competitors and their design teams are pioneers”?
by describing the collaboration that exists between competitors and design teams
by highlighting that awards are given to both competitors and design teams
by stressing that competitors and design teams are raising awareness for the disability community
by emphasizing that competitors and design teams are showcasing new and cutting - edge technologies
Answer:
by emphasizing that competitors and design teams are showcasing new and cutting - edge technologies
Explanation:
The word "pioneers" indicates a group of people who anticipate something, being the first, the innovators or those who launched a trend. The author uses exactly that sense, when he states that the competitors and their design teams were the pioneers. To reinforce this, the author shows how the competitors used to constantly present new technologies through their design teams.
write a small paragraph on how important you family is to you ?

take you time i am not in a hurry (◕ᴥ◕)
Answer:
My family is my life. If anything happens to them I will be lost in life. They have helped me through so many rough times and these times were hard times for me (I'm not comfortable sharing). If anyone hurts a member I will find them and show you the pain you caused them and me. I will give my family the whole universe if I can. I might not agree with everything they say or do but I know they are my life.
"Family is where LIFE BEGINS and LOVE NEVER ENDS"
Answer:
My family is important to me. I hardly ever agree with them and they get annoying, but they are mine and will always be there for me. I've had many friends, but they've left at some point. Through thick and thin, my family has been there. Through basketball and running they are my biggest supporters. They are there on the the court and screaming at the finish line. Sure, they aren't perfect but I'd choose them over anyone else. I love that they see through my flaws and raise me up. "Ohana" means "family." "Family" means "no one gets left behind." Family is forever.

Comic relief is the inclusion of a humorous character, scene, or witty dialogue in an otherwise serious work, often to relieve tension. As important as suspense and tight story tension are, you need to give your audience a breather every now and then.

Answer:i dont know correct or not
Explanation:
It's worth keeping in mind that the age of the enlightenment coexisted with the age of colonialism. Indeed, consider how much the founding fathers and the framers of the Constitution were influenced by Enlightenment era thinkers: there is a common thread tying these two subjects together.
In any respect, I would suggest one topic of critical importance is religion. Religion was an immensely powerful force throughout the Early Modern Era (especially in the aftermath of the Reformation), and a significant subject of debate within the Enlightenment. When reading writers such as Diderot or Voltaire, you can observe a critique of organized, traditional religion as well as of the abuses of power and corruption that could be found within it. Moreover, however, the enlightenment contained criticisms that cut to the heart of Christian theology itself, and many enlightenment era thinkers turned towards the more impersonal God envisioned by deism instead.

What happens on page 25? How might this impact or influence Victor’s future scientific efforts?
-Right after Victor's mother dies he goes back to The University of Ingolstadt to continue his studies. He threw himself into studying natural philosophy and then he started creating the creature. There was nothing to stop him from creating the creature. The death of his mother inspired him to create the creature to solve the problem of disease. He wanted to prove that he can make dead people become alive to professors that they didn’t call him a fool anymore and didn't tell him that he wasted his time on reading books that were impossible to make things happen.
Answer:
As you read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, either on your own or with a group, we invite you to
use these questions to add layers to your discussion or thinking about the novel. The first section
includes questions for each chapter of the novel; you will find questions reflecting on the book as
a whole at the end. We have not included specific pages numbers as various editions have
different page numbers, but the quotations are based on the 1831 edition of the novel.
Discussion Questions for Each Chapter
Letters I through IV
1. Frankenstein begins and ends with letters written by Robert Walton. Why do you think
that Mary Shelley chose to have him frame the novel? How would your opinions of
Victor Frankenstein and his creation differ if their story was told directly by Victor
Frankenstein himself? What if the story was told solely by the creation?
2. Walton yearns for a friend, much like Victor Frankenstein’s creature does. What does this
tell you about human nature? Is it in our nature to want companionship, someone to
confide in, and someone to care for?
3. In Letter IV, Walton writes, “Yesterday the stranger said to me, “You may easily
perceive, Captain Walton, that I have suffered great and unparalleled misfortunes. I had
determined at one time that the memory of these evils should die with me, but you have
won me to alter my determination. You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did;
and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you,
as mine has been. I do not know that the relation of my disasters will be useful to you;
yet, when I reflect that you are pursuing the same course, exposing yourself to the same
dangers which have rendered me what I am, I imagine that you may deduce an apt moral
from my tale, one that may direct you if you succeed in your undertaking and console
you in case of failure. Prepare to hear of occurrences which are usually deemed
marvelous.”
A. In the excerpt above, Victor is foreshadowing the creation of his monster and how
it went quickly awry. Are there any other instances of foreshadowing in these
letters?
B. In the excerpt above, the themes of knowledge and wisdom are introduced. Often,
knowledge and wisdom are seen as interchangeable, or as going hand-in-hand, but
are they necessarily the same. Pay attention to how knowledge and wisdom are
portrayed in the book.
4. Walton and Frankenstein are both men of science but in vastly different fields. What does
having two main characters in this field tell you about 1800s Europe? What does it tell
you about the gender roles of this time?
Chapter One
1. This chapter introduces the women of Victor’s life: his mother, Caroline, and his adopted
family/betrothed, Elizabeth Lavenza. How is their family dynamic representative of other
families in the 1800s?
2. Victor describes the first appearance of Elizabeth: “Her hair was the brightest living gold,
and despite the poverty of her clothing, seemed to set a crown of distinction on her head.
Her brow was clear and ample, her blue eyes cloudless, and her lips and the moulding of
her face so expressive of sensibility and sweetness that none could behold her without
looking on her as of a distinct species, a being heaven-sent, and bearing a celestial stamp
in all her features

Why was Rainsford justified in killing Zaroff?Rainsford was justified in killing Zaroff because Zaroff would’ve continued to kill people,if he would’ve survived. Rainsford also had his life on the line during this fight. For example,Zaroff explains to Rainsford how hunting has become a bore and he needs a new game to hunt.
“ ‘But no animal can reason,’ objected Rainsford. ‘there is one that can.’ ‘But you can’t mean–’ gasped Rainsford. ‘And why not?’ ‘I can’t believe you are serious, General Zaroff…’ ‘Why should I not be serious? I am speaking of hunting.’ ‘...what you speak of is murder!’”
If Rainsford hadn’t killed Zaroff, Zaroff would’ve continued to kill/hunt other people.

Excerpt from The Raven
By Brothers Grimm
Looking out from his hut one day he saw three robbers fighting and he called out to them. They stopped when they heard the call, but looking round and seeing nobody, they went on again with their fighting, which now became more furious. He cried out again, and again they paused and looked about, but seeing no one went back to their fighting. A third time he called out, and then thinking he should like to know the cause of dispute between the three men, he went out and asked them why they were fighting so angrily with one another. One of them said that he had found a stick, and that he had but to strike it against any door through which he wished to pass, and it immediately flew open. Another told him that he had found a cloak which rendered its wearer invisible; and the third had caught a horse which would carry its rider over any obstacle, and even up the glass mountain. They had been unable to decide whether they would keep together and have the things in common, or whether they would separate. On hearing this, the man said, ‘I will give you something in exchange for those three things; not money, for that I have not got, but something that is of far more value. I must first, however, prove whether all you have told me about your three things is true.’ The robbers, therefore, made him get on the horse, and handed him the stick and the cloak, and when he had put this round him he was no longer visible. Then he fell upon them with the stick and beat them one after another, crying, ‘There, you idle vagabonds, you have got what you deserve; are you satisfied now!’ After this he rode up the glass mountain.

Things to know about radioactivity ?
Answer:
radioactivity
Explanation:
An unstable nucleus spontaneously emits particles and energy in a process known as radioactive decay. The term radioactivity refers to the particles emitted. When enough particles and energy have been emitted to create a new, stable nucleus (often the nucleus of an entirely different element), radioactivity ceases. As its name implies, radioactivity is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously. This is done by an atomic nucleus that, for some reason, is unstable; it "wants" to give up some energy in order to shift to a more stable configuration.
