In other words, he claims to have found traces of life from outer space.

'Now comes the weird upon me, spoken of old.
A wizard, grand and wondrous, lived here—Telemus,
a son of Euryinus; great length of days
he had in wizardry among the Cyclopes,
and these things he foretold for time to come:
my great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands.
Always I had in mind some giant, armed
in giant force, would come against me here.
But this, but you—small, pitiful and twiggy—
you put me down with wine, you blinded me.
Come back, Odysseus, and I'll treat you well,
praying the god of earthquake to befriend you—
his son I am, for he by his avowal
fathered me, and if he will, he may
heal me of this black wound—he and no other
of all the happy gods or mortal men.’

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”
She ran to the door, but her husband was before her, and catching her by the arm, held her tightly.
"What are you going to do?" he whispered hoarsely.
"It's my boy; it's Herbert!" she cried, struggling mechanically. "I forgot it was two miles away. What are you holding me for? Let go. I must open the door.
"For God's sake don't let it in," cried the old man, trembling.
"You're afraid of your own son," she cried, struggling. "Let me go. I'm coming, Herbert; I'm coming."
How does Mr. White’s reaction to Herbert’s coming home compare to that of his wife’s?

But Mrs White is excited to see Hilbert no matter what he comes back as while Mr White is horrified and knows that whatever is behind that door, will not hug them with open arms.

Written like this “Someone’s mother has four sons North,West and South.What is the name of the fourth son. I see here it says the answer is Someone but “what is the name of the son.” Is a statement it has a period not a question mark and as far as the “someone’s mother has four sons” you could say Sherry is someone’s mother without the child’s name being someone so some people think the answer as the it is written would be That the forth son’s name is What . Which makes sense to me so does the answer change depending on if it ends with a period or a question mark ❓
Answer: The name of the fourth son is East
Explanation:
The answer truluy doesn't depend on punctuation. If I were to ask you "what's your name." The answer won't change if I used a question mark.

"a person's income reflects his or her value to society" disagree or agree
Answer:
I totally disagree with this statement. The value of a person is not determined by the amount of economic income that he or she generates, but on the contrary, by the value that this person provides to society, whether this value is economic or not. Thus, there are people whose contribution to society does not have a measure in economic terms but in cultural, social or humanitarian terms that give the individual great importance in the social framework, as for example the case of people who contribute to charity, or spiritual or social leaders.
