Why was mr maloney leaving his wife in "lamb to the slaughter "
Answer:
He was leaving his wife for another women. Then she killed him. (Hope this helps!)
Explanation:
Answer:
I think the author Roald Dahl makes it clear that Patrick Maloney is not leaving his wife Mary because he is involved with another woman. He is so regular in his habits that he could hardly be seeing another woman on the side. This is good for Mary because it eliminates one possible motive she might have for killing her husband. The police could find out pretty easily if Patrick had been having an affair.
The author shows in dramatic fashion why Patrick wants out of the marriage. He feels suffocated by the claustrophobic domesticity he comes home to. He has no privacy. They sleep in the same bed. His wife is too loving, too mothering, too suffocating, too needy, too clinging. As a matter of fact, John Collier explains very clearly what is wrong with most marriages in his story "The Chaser." The old man who sells love potions and "chasers," or antidotes, tells his impetuous, lovesick young client Alan Austen:
"You will be her sole interest in life....She will want to know all you do....All that has happened to you during the day. Every word of it. She will want to know what you are thinking about, why you smile suddenly, why you are looking sad....How carefully she will look after you! She will never allow you to be tired, to sit in a draught, to neglect your food. If you are an hour late, she will be terrified. She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you."
The old man feels sure that his customer will someday want to kill his wife. The wife he describes to Alan Austen sounds very much like Mary Maloney. No doubt, Patrick already feels like killing her. She doesn't understand that her attentiveness is driving him away from her. Most people need privacy some of the time. As the Prophet says in Kahlil Gibran's well-known book The Prophet:
But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
The fact that Mary's loving devotion can turn so suddenly into murderous rage seems to indicate that there must have been some hatred hidden underneath all her slavish attentiveness. She doesn't change into a different person. Nobody can do that. She is the same Mary Maloney but she reveals feelings and cunning nobody, including herself, ever knew existed.

What assumption does Feminist Criticism make about the treatment of female characters in literary
texts?
Many feminist critics look at how the characters, especially the female characters, are portrayed and ask us to consider how the portrayal of female characters “reinforces or undermines sexual stereotypes” (Lynn). Feminist literary theory also suggests that the gender of the reader often affects our response to a text.
Label what kind of phrase is in CAPITALIZATION (preposition, Appositive, participle, Gerund, Infinitive) and then for bonus tell whether it is an adjective, adverb or noun.
1. TO LOOK for mushrooms is my favorite spring hobby.
2. He nearly drowned when he fell IN THE RIVER with his clothes on.
3. The plants ON THE TABLE were growing too slowly because of the shaded window.
4. CATCHING THE BALL was not an easy task during the high sun.
5. FILLING UP THE SAP BUCKET, Karl took a sneak taste test of the syrup to be.
Answer:
1. Infinitive
2. Preposition
3. Appositive
4. Gerund
5. Participle
Explanation:
1. An infinitive phrase combines an infinitive word, (e.g. to) and a verb, modifier or complement. In the first sentence, To look is the infinitive phrase.
2. Prepositional phrases contain a preposition, a noun or pronoun object of the preposition and a modifier.
3. The appositive is placed before a noun so as to provide further information about it. In sentence 3, on the table tells us where the plants were situated.
4. A gerund is a noun formed from a verb, with the addition of -ing. A gerund phrase is a gerund with additional words that can serve as the noun in the sentence. Catching the ball is the gerund phrase in sentence 4.
5. A participle phrase looks like a gerund phrase but the difference is that the participle phrase modifies a verb. In sentence 5, the participle phrase modifies the verb, took.
speech on "why do u think curiosity is an important trait in youths"
Answer:
I think curiosity is an important trait in youth because, without great curiosity or great interest or suspicion, kids don't have the same spark in doing things. When kids are curious they want to figure something out, they want to know whats going on, how it happened, what is it? They ask questions and their minds work and help them try to solve the situation, problem, or questions they might have. Without curiosity, they might not discover things like, maybe they want to become an astronaut and they first started that idea when they got curious about the stars and how many there are? It helps them find something they are passionate about and can spark energy into them.
Hope this helped! :)

Could someone please give me an example of a response to this? From any passage?
I'd also like what 'Consider the author’s reasoning and use of evidence, and identify examples of irrelevant evidence and problematic reasoning.' means.
This needs to be due today!!!
Answer: Artificial Sweetners. Artificial sweeteners were made for people who cannot eat sugar or who want to cut down on calories from sugary foods. After many years of use, artificial sweeteners are still controversial. Some people think that they are good because they do not cause cavities and may help them lose weight.
Explanation: Make a postive vs negative effect on how bad it is and how great it tastes. EXAMPLE: Artificial sweeteners have been scrutinized intensely for decades. Critics of artificial sweeteners say that they cause a variety of health problems, including cancer. That's largely because of studies dating to the 1970s that linked the artificial sweetener saccharin to bladder cancer in laboratory rats. EXAMPLE 2: “Non-nutritive sweeteners are far more potent than table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. A miniscule amount produces a sweet taste comparable to that of sugar, without comparable calories.

b. conveys the poet's belief in his army's cause
c. stresses the horror of war
d. contrasts war and peace
Answer:
The imagery in "The Rear-Guard":
c. stresses the horror of war
Explanation:
"The Rear-Guard" is a poem by author Siegfried Sassoon. Vivid imagery is used to convey the horrors of war to the audience.
The narrative poem focuses on a soldier who is walking through tunnels underneath a bloody battle. The speaker takes his time when describing a certain scene: The soldier finds someone lying on the ground and pauses to ask him a question, not realizing this man is dead. He then sees the decaying body and the agony that, for some reason, has not left his eyes yet. When the soldier finally finds the exit, it is only to suffer more in battle.
in what specific way does the setting influence the climax of the play
You may know that the climax is often referred to as the turning point for the protagonist. It is that point in the story that changes the protagonist’s future. When you wake up from being unconscious and realize that you are no longer in your own time, that’s the climax. Everything that happens is related to that moment. Sometimes readers have a difficult time identifying the climax of a story. When a plot is eventful, think of the one event that changes everything for the protagonist going forward.

How dose the title connect the subject and the theme in the poem America?
Answer:
Without the title, the reader would be unaware of what the speaker is discussing. The title helps the reader understand how the subject of the poem, the United States, relates to the theme of hostility felt by the speaker. Without mentioning the subject in the poem itself, the poet uses the title to emphasize the rift, or disconnect, he feels.

to where he thought they belonged. He hated the way he

tough, someone who could take a punch and give it back.

When it comes to IQ, it's a case of 'Use it or lose it'". What does "Use it or lose it" mean?
Answer:
The answer is below
