Express the mind and thought of a a growing girl Amanda and how does she escape from it or find an alternative condition​

Answers

Answer 1
Laura is sitting alone playing with her glass collection. When she hears Amanda ascending the stairs, she immediately hides the collection and sits before the typing chart pretending to study it. Amanda comes in and theatrically drops her gloves on the floor. When Laura asks her what is wrong, Amanda accuses her of deception. Amanda tells Laura that she was by the business school in order to inquire about Laura's progress. It was then that she found out that Laura had not been attending school. Amanda is depressed about losing the fifty dollars tuition and about Laura's future. Laura explains that on the day she was supposed to take her first speed test in typing, she became sick and threw up on the floor. Since then she has been pretending to go to school, but instead she has been going to the museums and to the bird houses in the zoo and to a big glass house where they "raise the tropical flowers."

Amanda wonders what will then happen to a girl who can't work and who has no gentlemen callers. She then wonders if Laura has ever liked a boy. Laura tells about a boy in high school named Jim with whom she was infatuated. He used to call her "blue roses" because she had had pleurosis, which he thought sounded like "blue roses." Amanda then decides that Laura must get married. Laura protests that she is a cripple, but Amanda refuses to allow Laura to use that word and insists that all Laura needs to do is to develop charm.

Analysis

In the first episode, Amanda had told Laura to go practice her shorthand. At the opening of this scene, we see that Laura rapidly hides her glass ornaments and acts as though she is practicing her typing when she hears Amanda ascending the fire escape. This scene, then, handles the revelation that Laura has not been going to her school.

This revelation has tremendous import for Amanda. First, it represents a fifty-dollar loss of the tuition money — money which was very hard to come by. But more important, it forces Amanda to consider the future and to face, realistically, problems that she does not like to think about — that is, that she has a daughter who is crippled and who is too sensitive to work. These thoughts, in turn, bring to Amanda's mind the need for a gentleman caller.

Thus we see a relationship between the gentleman caller and Laura's ineptitude in any type of work. Amanda sums up Laura's position by saying: "I know so well what becomes of unmarried women who aren't prepared to occupy a position. I've seen such pitiful cases in the South — barely tolerated spinsters living upon the grudging patronage of sister's husband or brother's wife . . . encouraged by one in-law to visit another." Of course what Amanda did not say was that her knowledge is first hand because she became one of those pitiful cases who was not prepared to occupy a position. Thus with Laura's inability to occupy a position, it becomes urgent to find her a husband so that she doesn't become one of those pitiful creatures.

Note how Amanda plays the revelation scene for all its theatrical effect. This is also a part of her character and prepares us for her giddy actions when the gentleman caller comes.

This scene also prepares us for the coming of Jim, the gentleman caller, because he was a high school friend of both Tom and Laura. With it now established that he was Laura's high school idol, we are more prepared to accept her nervousness when he arrives.

Even though a few minutes earlier Amanda was able to face reality enough to discuss what happens to unmarried women, now with the thought of a gentleman caller coming, she suddenly resorts back to a world of illusion and refuses to allow Laura to refer to herself as crippled. She then tells Laura to develop charm to compensate for her slight defect. For Laura to develop charm is totally impossible, and furthermore, the type of charm that Amanda means would destroy what innocent appeal Laura now possesses.

content not mind!!!

Answer:

Social media can affect how someone thinks, acts, and even how they can respond to specific questions. One example is last year, 2020's presidential election with former president Donald Trump and now president Joe Biden. Many people turned aggressive against the other party and often ridiculed anyone who didn't support what they believed; mocking looks, the way they act, and even the music they listen to. A few of the aggressive people even went as far as to react violently because some social media posts encourage violence and negative behavior to be the norm. However some were convinced by some of the media and decided to vote for the opposing party. Social media can also pull people's heartstrings and cause them to become more sympathetic or feel not so alone if they realize that others went through the same thing as they did. People can become kinder to others or more aware of the dangers around them as people post awareness videos onto their pages for millions to see. This topic has been a debate since social media came to exist in the first place, whether it is helpful or unhelpful, and will probably continue until it someday ceases to exist. People don't look at it from the correct angle, however. Many people see it as pure help or pure harm but honestly, it depends on the person who decides to use it. There is no "wrong" or "right." In conclusion, social media is very influential and can cause great harm or ease depending on how the user decides to bend it.

Answers

He cares little for the animals he hunts

From the excerpt "The Most Dangerous Game", the line of dialogue reveal about Whitney’s character, he cares little for the animals he hunts. The third option is correct.

The most dangerous game involves a man who claims to like hunting animals becoming the hunted. General Zaroff hunts Sanger Rainsford for sport on Ship Trap Island, and he eventually becomes the prey he has chased.  Rainsford's hunting buddy is Whitney. His primary function is to contrast Rainsford's character. Whitney feels that jaguars and other predators, in general, have "the fear of pain and the fear of death," and hence deserve some sympathy.

It can be concluded that Whitney  cares little for the animals he hunts.

Hannah and her mother are at the supermarket. They are waiting in line for a cashier. Hannah's mother has a shopping cart full of groceries.

HANNAH: (Very excited): The thing about Sherlock Holmes, Mom, is that he sees things that other people don't. He uses his powers of observation and deduction to solve crimes. He has incredible knowledge of crimes and villains and the many dastardly deeds they engage in to break the law. He uses his wit and courage, too.

HANNAH'S MOTHER: (Partly distracted, answering while choosing a checkout line to stand in) Dastardly deeds? That's an interesting phrase. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. In fact, you seem happy as a dog with two tails at the moment.

HANNAH: (Feeling thoughtful and confident) Well, maybe that's because I've decided that I'm going to be an investigator.

From The Mystery of the Shiny Paper:

Hannah started to think about Holmes' many skills and character traits. The skills he relied on most of all were observation and deduction. Sherlock Holmes paid a lot of attention to detail and would often notice things that other people missed. Hannah decided that this was where she would start on her road to becoming a detective—observing others and attempting to deduce information from her observations. She spent the rest of the walk back to her house observing others and trying to come up with detective-like deductions.

A few days later, she was at the supermarket with her mother, still trying to hone her investigative skills by observing others, when she thought to herself: This is hopeless. I don't have any chance of solving a mystery! She felt a bit down on the way home and her mom asked her twice if she was feeling okay. "I'm okay, Mom," was all she said.


What are the differences in the way Hannah's thoughts, feelings, and actions are shown in the play A Daring and Dastardly Deed and the story The Mystery of the Shiny Paper? Use complete sentences and evidence from the texts to answer the question.

Answers

Answer:

Well, in play A Daring and Dastardly Deeds, Hannah is happy and excited by the thought of being a detective, as shown when she skips around and eagerly tries to do what she reads about Sherlock Holmes doing by "observing others and deducing" something about them by watching closely in attempts to notice something that everyone else is oblivious to.

In play B The Mystery of the Shiny Paper, Hannah seems upset at her previous hopes of being a detective because every time she tries to be observant, she can't find anything interesting or out of the ordinary that she would consider something deduced in a detective-like manner, leaving her feeling discouraged and unhappy, both of which were directly stated in text as the narrator gave Hannah direct characterization repeatedly.
