Reread the first paragraph of O.Henry's short story "Hearts and Hands."

At Denver there was an influx of passengers into the coaches on the eastbound B. & M. express. In one coach there sat a very pretty young woman dressed in elegant taste and surrounded by all the luxurious comforts of an experienced traveler. Among the newcomers were two young men, one of handsome presence with a bold, frank countenance and manner; the other a ruffled, glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed. The two were handcuffed together.
What part of the paragraph helps create the misunderstanding at the center of the story?
1. the descriptions of the two men who have just entered the train car
2. details about the clothing of the young woman on the train
3. the fact that B. & M. express train was headed east from Denver
4. the fact that two men were handcuffed together

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4. the fact that two men were handcuffed together

Explanation:

I have not read this story, unfortunately, but I can infer that them being handcuffed together would cause some misunderstandings.

I hope this helped :)

(I'm not stalking your questions lol, they keep popping up on my feed and I'm good with English)

Answer 2

The part of the paragraph that helps create the misunderstanding at the center of the story is -  the fact that two men were handcuffed together.

What is "Hearts and Hands"?

Hearts And Hands by O. Henry, was originally published under his pseudonym, Sidney Porter, in 1902. The story is full of twists and wordplay, as was O.Henry's own life.

What is the theme of the story?

This short story evolves around a marshal, a prisoner, and an acquaintance of the prisoner on a train. The story describes the chance encounter on a train, between two acquaintances – Miss Fairchild and Mr Easton. The story presents an ironical situation with a surprise ending. The irony at the end of the story makes the story interesting. The story ‘Hearts and Hands’ is set in a train to Denver.

Thus, the part of the paragraph that helps create the misunderstanding at the center of the story is -  the fact that two men were handcuffed together.

Imagine Alice has returned from her journey down the rabbit hole and is retelling the events to her sister. Write a story from Alice's point of view, in which Alice explains what happened to her after she reached the bottom of the rabbit hole. Be sure to use dialog to show how Alice's sister responds to the story. Use details from the audio recording in your response.

Titlte: Down the Rabbit Hole
Adapted from Down the Rabbit Hole, the first chapter in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, public domain.
Little Alice sat by the riverbank listening to her eldest sister read a picture–less book. Inattentive, Alice daydreamed about picking daisies. Just then, she saw a white rabbit with crimson eyes run by her. It did not appear bizarre to Alice that the rabbit spoke while carrying a pocket watch. "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!" cried Rabbit. Curiously, Alice followed the rabbit into a large rabbit hole near the hedge.
Suddenly, Alice tumbled down without wondering how she was to get out of the rabbit's hole. This immeasurable hole, to Alice, seemed like a bottomless well. She fell deeper and deeper while watching peculiar and curious things. The sides of the well were books piled high on book shelves. Here and there were maps hung on dowels and a jelly jar without any jelly.
Down, down, down, she tumbled. "Would the fall ever come to an end?" she inquisitively thought. Absent of worry, Alice thought about how her cat, Dinah, would miss her. She hoped Dinah would get her milk at tea–time. "Oh Dinah," she continued, "I wish you were here with me. You could catch some flying bats. Wait, do cats eat bats?" As one could tell, Alice's thoughts, at this point, were free of apprehension.
Thump, thud, bump! She landed on a mound of sticks and dry leaves. Not a bit hurt, Alice swiftly jumped to her feet looking for the white rabbit. Off like the wind, she ran when she heard, "Oh my ears, how late it is!" It ought to be the rabbit, but she did not, in fact, catch a glimpse of him. Alice found herself in a long hall with a very low roof, surrounded by locked doors on all sides. Glimpsing around once more, she found a curtain, which she had not seen at first. This led to a miniature door, approximately a foot high, maybe less. Oh, how she longed to be small enough to fit. Alice looked through the keyhole and saw the loveliest of botanical gardens. "Where was the key?" she thought. And then she saw it placed on a four–legged table which rested in the corner.
Alice looked around and found on the table with a tag that said DRINK ME. Could it be toxic? She dared to drink it, which made her feel quite bizarre. So it was, Alice was now almost a foot high. "Perfect!" Alice said, for she could now fit through the petite door and get out to that exquisite garden.
However, she realized that she needed the golden key to open the door, and it was still placed on the very, very, very large table. She began to cry, until she gazed at an especially small cake beautifully marked with words in currents saying "Eat me". Alice thought, "If it makes me grow taller, I can reach the key; however, if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door crack. I rather don't care what happens." So she anxiously ate a little bit and saw no result. So she set to work and finished off the cake.

Alice: And that's when I found myself at the bottom of the rabbit hole, Sarah! It was the most extraordinary thing!

Sarah: Alice, you can't be serious! How on earth did you end up in a rabbit hole? And what do you mean you found yourself there?

Alice: Well, it all started when I saw this white rabbit with crimson eyes, and it was talking, Sarah! It said it was late and ran off, so I followed it into the rabbit hole.

Sarah: A talking rabbit? Alice, you must be making this up!

Alice: I promise you, Sarah, it was real! I fell and fell, down this immeasurable hole. The sides were lined with shelves filled with books and maps hanging on dowels. There was even a jelly jar without any jelly!

Sarah: Alice, you always had such a wild imagination. Are you sure this wasn't just a dream?

Alice: Oh, it wasn't a dream, Sarah. I thought about Dinah, you know, our cat, and wondered if she would miss me. But I couldn't worry too much. I was too busy watching all the peculiar things around me.

Sarah: Peculiar things? Like what, Alice?

Alice: Well, I saw bats flying, and I wondered if cats eat bats. Silly thoughts, really. But I wasn't afraid. I was curious about where this rabbit was leading me.

Sarah: And where did it lead you?

Alice: When I finally landed, I found myself in a long hall with locked doors all around. I heard the rabbit's voice, but I couldn't see him anywhere. I was surrounded by locked doors and felt trapped.

Sarah: That sounds terrifying, Alice. What did you do?

Alice: That's when I noticed a curtain I hadn't seen before. Behind it was a tiny door, Sarah. It was only about a foot high. I peered through the keyhole and saw the most beautiful garden, but the key was on a table that was too big for me.

Sarah: Wait, a tiny door and a huge table? Are you sure this wasn't just a playful imagination?

Alice: I know it sounds unbelievable, Sarah, but it happened! I found a bottle labeled "Drink Me" on the table. I hesitated at first, but then I thought it might help me become small enough to fit through the door.

Sarah: Alice, that's so dangerous! You can't just drink random potions!

Alice: I know, but I couldn't resist. And you know what? It actually worked! I became almost a foot high. It was just the right size to go through the door.

Sarah: Alice, I can't believe you would take such risks! What happened next?

Alice: Well, I realized I still needed the key to open the door, and it was on the table. I started to cry, but then I found a cake labeled "Eat Me." I knew it was risky, but I thought it might make me grow taller and help me reach the key.

Sarah: Alice, you can't just eat random cakes either!

Alice: I know, I know, but I was desperate. And guess what? It didn't work at first. I was so relieved. But then I couldn't resist, and I finished the whole cake. And that's when things started to get even more curious...

I hope this helps. Cheers! ^^

The girl opens the door to the image of a girl no older than 16 years old sitting on the floor holding a shotgun pointing towards the door she had just entered through. Shenel looks at the girl as she puts down her shotgun saying, oh my word I’m so glad I’m not alone here anymore. How close are they behind you? We need to leave as soon as we can to avoid them catching us. Shenel quickly stands up and starts packing a bag with things lying around. What’s your name? Shenel says with her back turned packing. Um, I’m Stephine the girl answers shakily. Ok that’s a nice name Stephine sorry for all of this happening but we really need to leave now. Shenel stops packing and turns to look at Stephine. Are you ready? Stephine looks at Shenel and says, Who are those people, and where is everyone else, what’s happening I need some answers please! Shenel stops and sighs, ok so I’ll try to give you the short version ok. Stephine nods yes at Shenel.

Stephine and Shenel head out of the house listening closely as they can for any signs of someone behind or in front of them but all Stephine is able to hear is her heart racing in her chest as they run. Shenel stops suddenly and looks back at Stephine with fear in her eyes and whispers shakily, look don’t stop running I’m going to try warding them off we are only about a mile and a half from the bunker. Stephine just then realizes they are starting to be surrounded by at least 150 demon people. She looks back and says, what about you? Shenel says , save yourself I will be ok, on three ok, 1, 2, Shenel screams 3! Stephine bolts not looking back hearing the sound of gunshots and screaming it only makes her run faster and her heart feels like it’s going to beat right out of her chest. Just as she thinks she is never going to make it she sees a big door with a yellow sign on the front reading, emergency bunker. She runs up yelling for someone to open the door. She hears something running behind her and she becomes frantic. LET ME IN, LET ME IN!! Right as she thinks there is no hope the door opens and she runs in as she looks back she sees Shenel and yells, RUN YOU CAN MAKE IT!! Right at the door is almost closed Shenel makes it in the door they both embrace each other in a hug crying they say, We made it, We are ok! The end

It is always important to find multiple news sources related to the topic you're writing about so that you have access to more accurate information on your topic, and you will also earn the beneficial experience of hearing the viewpoints of others so that you can develop your own; doing this will also make your writing sound clearer and more precise.

Explanation:

Everyone is aware that "The Odyssey" and the "Epic of Gilgamesh" are both fantastic tales from a long time ago, yet many people are unaware that these two epics include many of the same ideas.

What is comparing and contrasting?

Similar aspects are discussed in comparison writing, whereas dissimilar elements are discussed in contrast writing.

The theme of nostro is one that appears frequently throughout The Odyssey. Essentially, this idea forms the foundation of the entire narrative.

Odysseus, the book's primary character, has one main objective, to return home. Numerous obstacles on his voyage keep him from returning to Ithaca and his family.

Therefore, the idea of nostro is more or less established in The Epic of Gilgamesh, the only distinction between the two epics is that nostro is not the primary subject here.

Answers

Whereas Ralph and Jack stand at opposite ends of the spectrum between civilization and savagery, Simon stands on an entirely different plane from all the other boys. Simon embodies a kind of innate, spiritual human goodness that is deeply connected with nature and, in its own way, as primal as Jack’s evil. The other boys abandon moral behavior as soon as civilization is no longer there to impose it upon them. They are not innately moral; rather, the adult world—the threat of punishment for misdeeds—has conditioned them to act morally. To an extent, even the seemingly civilized Ralph and Piggy are products of social conditioning, as we see when they participate in the hunt-dance.

In Golding’s view, the human impulse toward civilization is not as deeply rooted as the human impulse toward savagery. Unlike all the other boys on the island, Simon acts morally not out of guilt or shame but because he believes in the inherent value of morality. He behaves kindly toward the younger children, and he is the first to realize the problem posed by the beast and the Lord of the Flies—that is, that the monster on the island is not a real, physical beast but rather a savagery that lurks within each human being. The sow’s head on the stake symbolizes this idea, as we see in Simon’s vision of the head speaking to him. Ultimately, this idea of the inherent evil within each human being stands as the moral conclusion and central problem of the novel. Against this idea of evil, Simon represents a contrary idea of essential human goodness. However, his brutal murder at the hands of the other boys indicates the scarcity of that good amid an overwhelming abundance of evil.
