What are the sins committed by Don Pedro and Don Diego against Don Juan? ​

Answers

Answer:

The sins are that both Don Pedro and Don Diego were attracted to Don Juan, in addition to not being concerned with his virtue.

Explanation:

Don Pedro and Don Diego had the responsibility to care for and repair the moral defects that Don Juan had, especially in relation to his highly sexual behavior. However, neither was interested in fulfilling his obligations and encouraging Don Juan to improve his behavior because they were attracted to him and decided to fulfill their wishes, believing that what Don Juan did was something intrinsic to the youth and that should be explored.

Frightened of what may be there since there was no sight
I seemed to ask myself why am I afraid? The water was not deep
What am I afraid of ? I took a few steps in and stopped I couldn’t keep going
I felt the shells and with the fear of sea creatures so I got out right away
I was too scared that I was thinking in my head “maybe tomorrow but not today”
Feared the water
Feared the darkness
Feared the creatures
Feared dying

"The Sports Gene": Which of the following inferences about the jumping success of Stefan Holm is best supported by the last third of the excerpt? Question 15 options: a) Holm was a great high jumper because, like Donald Thomas, he had an exceptionally long Achilles tendon. b) Holm had a stiffer Achilles tendon that helped him jump to greater heights. c) Thomas passed Holm because Holm could not improve the height of his jumps after years of practice. d) Holm became an Olympic champion because of his hard work.

Answers

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: Holm had a stiffer Achilles tendon that helped him jump to greater heights.

Explanation:

In the article "The Sports Gene," by David Epstein, the inference about the jumping success of Stefan Holm that is best supported is that it was Holm´s stiffer Achilles tendon that helped him jump to greater heights.

It´s not inferred that both Holm and Donald Thomas have an exceptionally long Achilles tendon. Nor that Holm was unable to improve the height of his jumps after years of practice.

motive for immigration.
for essay​

Answers

Answer:

An immigrant is a person from one country who moves to another country permanently for a better life. There are many different reasons why people have their country to go to another country. Actually, I'm not an immigrant. However, according to my own experience, some people move to another country to find jobs, but some move to another country to look forward to their better education. Now, I know but many people from Micronesian are getting married in the United State, and they become immigrants to the United States.

Being an immigrant to the United States is not easy. What I mean is the way of life is not easy for some people, because everything is about money. We have to pay for everything. But in our island of Chuuk, nothing is difficult. Only we have the right to do whatever we want to d. But in the US there are many things we must go through if we want something, and we also spend a lot of money for many reasons: rent, water,food. Everything always costs money.

There are many sacrifices people face while they are immigrants. They work long hourse for more money, but they don't have enough time with their family. Some people work 24 hours in order to have enough money for their rent and bills. Some people even get sick because of working hard during the day and night. But, they dont chose to quit their jobs, because they must work hard to get money for their needs and wants.

In conclusion, being and immigran is not an easy way to live well and have a betterlife. For immigrants it is not easy to adopt the culture and the  way that people behave.

Hope it helps..

I want to make a presentation on evaporation guys comments what ever u know about evaporation​

Answers

Answer:

Evaporation is basically when water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor using heat

Explanation:

Evaporation key points:

The sun heats the ocean's surface and the air during the day, causing water molecules to evaporate.A liquid turning into a gas is evaporation. It is how water gets from the surface of the Earth to the atmosphere.Temperature, surface area, wind speed, and humidity affect a liquid's evaporation rate.Latent heat is a form of energy held in the evaporated water when it evaporates and cools.There would be no rain if evaporation did not occur. As a result, most plants would dry up. The humidity of the air replenishes via evaporation, primarily from the oceans and plants. It plays a significant role in the energy exchange that results in atmospheric motion, affecting weather and climate in the Earth-atmosphere system.The particles with the highest kinetic energy are the first to evaporate from a liquid.Water does not just evaporate when heated to 100°C. On the surface, evaporation happens at practically all temperatures. The rate of evaporation, however, grows as the temperature rises.Most of the air's moisture evaporates from rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. Water at the surface of the Earth evaporates into water vapor, which rises into the sky and forms clouds, which eventually release water back onto Earth as precipitation.

Compare and contrast the Frankenstein novel and Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner in terms of narrative voice , theme and literary techniques.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

In relation to the narrative voice, while "Ancient Mariner" presents the mariner himself as one who recounts his sufferings and misfortunes, "Frankenstein" presents both Victor and the acronym as a narrative voice, showing the point of view of both and allowing the reader to understand the creature's suffering told by itself.

The themes between the two works are similar, as they show the suffering of the human being as a result of his flawed acts. However, "Frankenstein" also presents the suffering created by human hypocrisy and superficiality in relation to physical appearances.

As literary techniques both works present a strong symbolism and allegories to present their theme and development. "Frankestein" also makes a strong use of foreshadowing, advancing information to the reader and allusions making the narrative more dynamic.

Do you think people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy? Why or why not?

Answers

I have found this question online. It refers to the short story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut.

Answer and Explanation:

Yes, I believe people's expectations and treatment of Harrison and his eventual actions could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a result of the Pygmalion effect theory, which claims we are influenced by other people's expectations of us. When we begin to believe what others think of us to be the truth, we change our behavior in accordance to it. We end up fulfilling the prophecies others have made about us, that is, we confirm their expectations.

That is what Harrison, the main character, does. In the story, the American government has decided to promote equality in a most absurd manner. People who are considered beautiful or intelligent, for instance, are forced to wear handicaps so that others will not feel inferior. Harrison is only 14 years old, and he is forced to wear loads of handicaps, not only to make him less handsome and strong, but also to make him less intelligent. For that reason, Harrison begins to see himself as truly superior to others. What the government does to him leads him to believe he is special, and that the world deserves to see that.

Harrison escapes from jail, appears before cameras, removes his own handicaps, and dances with a ballerina. Both are shot dead by a government official. If Harrison were truly superior in intelligence, he would most likely not have done that, since he knew he would be breaking the law and the outcome was quite obvious. It was because he was treated as intelligent, not because he was truly intelligent, that Harrison did what he did and was killed for it.

write a letter to travel agency for booking a tourist twor and guide for sight seeing​

Answers

Answer:

Dear sir or madam,

I am going on holiday to New York in June, and I would like to book some services from this travel agency.

I have seen on your web page that you have different tourist tour options. I am interested in booking the evening New York City tour and guide for sightseeing for June 3nd if possible. It would be for two persons, my husband and me. Also, I would like to know the tour's length and if specific clothes, such as comfortable shoes, are recommended.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and the availability of the tour.

Yours faithfully.

Lindsay Hughs.

Explanation:

When we write a letter, the first thing that we have to do is address the person to who we are writing. As we do not know their name, we write sir or madam.

In the first paragraph, we have to introduce the reason why we are writing. We tell the reader that we are going on holiday and are interested in the travel agency services.

In the body of the letter, we describe in detail what we want. That is to say, the date that we want to book the tour, the number of people, and any information that we would like to know.

In the last paragraph, we use a closing sentence saying that we are waiting for their answer, and lastly, we say our goodbyes.
