What is the conflict of this story?
Jim Clyman edged his knife out of its sheath. An animal was not supposed to mean anything when human lives were at stake, but the little spaniel was more to him than any person. He was a friend, one to whom he could confide his innermost thoughts and troubles, one who had always been satisfied to share his fortune. The knife point stopped at the dog’s throat, and Clyman held it there while he looked at the eager people about the fire. They had been led on by tangible hope, by certain knowledge that, when their food gave out, they had a final resource in the dog. And they could go no further without food. The dog would feed them tonight, tomorrow, and perhaps the day after. It would see them through. He touched the knife against the dog’s throat, and the spaniel whimpered in his arms.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The people have close to no food, and their only resource is the dog. The issue is, Jim has a strong connection to the spaniel and has no wish to kill them, but there is no other option.

hope this helps! :o)

Answers

Answer:

D.he was a hypocrite who concealed his shame from public

Explanation:

He wasn't only a hypocrite, but he wasn't true to himself, and this is the greater sin. Chillingworth allowed the rage to take his life in New England. Even though Dimmesdale deserved to be punished, he didn't deserve to be tortured like he was.

PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE READ THE ALCHEMIST!!!

Answers

Answer: I read the Alchemist, It's such a good book!! it was like 4 years ago though, so I might be a little off... Anywhosies, The crystal merchant told the main character that he had a dream of reaching 'mecca', but he never wanted to achieve his dream because he feared that if he achieved his dream, he would lose his purpose for living, and he feared that, after so long dreaming of the grand mecca, the real thing would be a disappointment. Once the Main character/Shepard heard the merchant's dream, and reasons for not realizing his dream, the main character/Shepard stopped using urim and thummim (the two stones the king had given him) because "Egypt was just a distant dream for him, as Mecca was for the merchant". Later though, the main character changes his mind and heads off to Egypt anyway, to realize his dream.

Explanation:

So the merchant kinda got the main character unsure, and if he had not re-changed his mind to go to Egypt instead of staying with the crystal merchant and then heading back to be a shepard once again, he would have never realised his dream in egypt.

LOOONG story short, the conflict, is that the merchant made the MC (main character) unsure of what to do with his dream, dream of it forever, or go realize it, but eventually MC made up his mind to go to egypt.

Sorry this is so long. But would you mind maybe marking brainliest? :)

Theme in Yellow by Carl Sandburg

I spot the hills

With yellow balls in autumn.

I light the prairie cornfields

Orange and tawny gold clusters

And I am called pumpkins.

On the last of October

When dusk is fallen

Children join hands

And circle round me

Singing ghost songs

And love to the harvest moon;

I am a jack-o'-lantern

With terrible teeth

And the children know

I am fooling.

They’re scared of rejection or of failing when they need to be/look brave. Let’s say a little girl is lost at a mall. You see her walking around, crying. It’d be very brave if you went and helped her, but what if the mom yells at you when return her? Or you can’t find her mom at all?

You could also say they’re in a safe bubble. For example, say a boy has a crush his friend. They’re really good friends and if he went up and asked his friend out, what if they say no? What if it completely ruins your friendship? Or what if they said yes, but they break up later? And that ruins their friendship? It’s easier for people to stay in a safe, happy bubble than to leave their comfort zone. Being courageous is one of the scariest things you can do in life.
