In 1862, I was ten years old. My family moved to the prairie that year. I was unhappy
about leaving Virginia, the only place I had ever lived. I knew I would miss it terribly. Ma and
Pa decided to pull up their roots in Virginia and settle out West. My brother, Jacob, was 13
years old when we moved, and my little sister, Mary, was only three.
When the caravan arrived in Kansas, all the families went off to settle on their very own
plots. "Pa, what happened to all of the trees?" / asked as I looked at the flat, dusty land,
Pa smiled. "Emma, we are out on the plains now. There are very few trees, and the land
is mostly flat"
"How will we build our house if there are no trees to cut?"
"We will use what nature has given us." Pa answered.
What could Pa be thinking? There was nothing on the plain but dust and grass.

Answers

Answer:

There was once a woman who was very, very cheerful, though she had little to make her so; for she was old, and poor, and lonely. She lived in a little bit of a cottage and earned a scant living by running errands for her neighbours, getting a bite here, a sup there, as reward for her services. So she made shift to get on, and always looked as spry and cheery as if she had not a want in the world.

Now one summer evening, as she was trotting, full of smiles as ever, along the high road to her hovel, what should she see but a big black pot lying in the ditch!

"Goodness me!" she cried, "that would be just the very thing for me if I only had something to put in it! But I haven't! Now who could have left it in the ditch?"

And she looked about her expecting the owner would not be far off; but she could see nobody.

"Maybe there is a hole in it," she went on, "and that's why it has been cast away. But it would do fine to put a flower in for my window; so I'll just take it home with me."

And with that she lifted the lid and looked inside. "Mercy me!" she cried, fair amazed. "If it isn't full of gold pieces. Here's luck!"

And so it was, brimful of great gold coins. Well, at first she simply stood stock-still, wondering if she was standing on her head or her heels. Then she began saying:

"Lawks! But I do feel rich. I feel awful rich!"

After she had said this many times, she began to wonder how she was to get her treasure home. It was too heavy for her to carry, and she could see no better way than to tie the end of her shawl to it and drag it behind her like a go-cart.

"It will soon be dark," she said to herself as she trotted along. "So much the better! The neighbours will not see what I'm bringing home, and I shall have all the night to myself, and be able to think what I'll do! Mayhap I'll buy a grand house and just sit by the fire with a cup o' tea and do no work at all like a queen. Or maybe I'll bury it at the garden foot and just keep a bit in the old china teapot on the chimney-piece. Or maybe—Goody! Goody! I feel that grand I don't know myself."

By this time she was a bit tired of dragging such a heavy weight, and, stopping to rest a while, turned to look at her treasure.

And lo! it wasn't a pot of gold at all! It was nothing but a lump of silver.

She stared at it, and rubbed her eyes, and stared at it again.

"Well! I never!" she said at last. "And me thinking it was a pot of gold! I must have been dreaming. But this is luck! Silver is far less trouble—easier to mind, and not so easy stolen. Them gold pieces would have been the death o' me, and with this great lump of silver—"

So she went off again planning what she would do, and feeling as rich as rich, until becoming a bit tired again she stopped to rest and gave a look round to see if her treasure was safe; and she saw nothing but a great lump of iron!

"Well! I never!" says she again. "And I mistaking it for silver! I must have been dreaming. But this is luck! It's real convenient. I can get penny pieces for old iron, and penny pieces are a deal handier for me than your gold and silver. Why! I should never have slept a wink for fear of being robbed. But a penny piece comes in useful, and I shall sell that iron for a lot and be real rich—rolling rich."

So on she trotted full of plans as to how she would spend her penny pieces, till once more she stopped to rest and looked round to see her treasure was safe. And this time she saw nothing but a big stone.

"Well! I never!" she cried, full of smiles. "And to think I mistook it for iron. I must have been dreaming. But here's luck indeed, and me wanting a stone terrible bad to stick open the gate. Eh my! but it's a change for the better! It's a fine thing to have good luck."

So, all in a hurry to see how the stone would keep the gate open, she trotted off down the hill till she came to her own cottage. She unlatched the gate and then turned to unfasten her shawl from the stone which lay on the path behind her. Aye! It was a stone sure enough. There was plenty light to see it lying there, douce and peaceable as a stone should.

So she bent over it to unfasten the shawl end, when—"Oh my!" All of a sudden it gave a jump, a squeal, and in one moment was as big as a haystack. Then it let down four great lanky legs and threw out two long ears, nourished a great long tail and romped off, kicking and squealing and whinnying and laughing like a naughty, mischievous boy!

The old woman stared after it till it was fairly out of sight, then she burst out laughing too.

"Well!" she chuckled, "I am in luck! Quite the luckiest body hereabouts. Fancy my seeing the Bogey-Beast all to myself; and making myself so free with it too! My goodness! I do feel that uplifted—that GRAND!"—

So she went into her cottage and spent the evening chuckling over her good luck.

What is the fir tree’s main character trait in this story? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The main character trait of the fir tree was 'impatient.'

Explanation:

'The Fir Tree' is a short story written by Hans Christian Anderson. The story is about a little fir tree who always desired more and never stopped to enjoy what he had at present. When he was little, he desired to be a grown tree, and when he grew up he desired to be the tallest among all fir tree.

Through the story, the main character trait that the fir tree showed was being impatient. The Fir Tree was so tetchy that when he was little, he always thought of growing up. He was so engrossed in the thought of growing up that he forgot to enjoy the place where he was. The story describes that he was at the good place, where the sun shone bright on him, he had plenty of fresh air. But he envied large and full-grown fir trees and desired to out-grow them.

Textual evidences:

"The place he had was a very good one: the sun shone on him: as to fresh air, there was enough of that, and round him grew many large-sized comrades, pines as well as firs. But the little Fir wanted so very much to be a grown-up tree."

"  "Oh! Were I but such a high tree as the others are," sighed he."

" "To grow and grow, to get older and be tall," thought the Tree --"that, after all, is the most delightful thing in the world!" "

Read this excerpt of an interview with Betty Harris, 37. She worked as a "drawer" in a coal pit in England. (Note drawers pull the coal carts, on their hands and knees, through narrow, dark tunnels.) "I was married at 23, and went into a colliery (coal mine) when I was married. I used to weave when about 12 years old; can neither read nor write. I work for Andrew Knowles, of Little Bolton, and make sometimes 7s a week, sometimes not so much. I am a drawer, and work from 6 in the morning to 6 at night. Stop about an hour at noon to eat my dinner; have bread and butter for dinner; I get no drink. I have two children, but they are too young to work. I worked at drawing when I was in the family way. I know a woman who has gone home and washed herself, taken to her bed, delivered of a child, and gone to work again under the week. I have a belt round my waist, and a chain passing between my legs, and I go on my hands and feet. The road is very steep, and we have to hold by a rope; and when there is no rope, by anything we can catch hold of. There are six women and about six boys and girls in the pit I work in; it is very hard work for a woman. The pit is very wet where I work, and the water comes over our clog-tops always, and I have seen it up to my thighs; it rains in at the roof terribly. My clothes are wet through almost all day long...My cousin looks after my children in the day time. I am very tired when I get home at night; I fall asleep sometimes before I get washed. I am not so strong as I was, and cannot stand my work so well as I used to...I have known many a man beat his drawer. " According to Betty's account, what were the working conditions of the coal pits? Was the work easy or difficult? What does Betty say to give you that impression?

Answers

The working conditions of the coal pits were tremendously unimaginable. This included working from 6 in the morning to 6 at night, bread for dinner with no drink, and chains wrapped around their bodies. The work was very difficult and we can tell this by how Betty describes her life and the life of her fellow workers and friends that she knew. The reader also is informed that Betty knew a woman who had a child and came back to work the following week.

According to Betty's account, the working condition of the pit was harsh, and the work was very difficult. The work was difficult. She had only a break during the day.

What is the interview of Betty Harris?

The interview was taken with Betty Harris at the time of the great depression in America.

The coal mines' working conditions were almost inconceivable. This included working from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., eating bread for dinner and not drinking anything, and having chains around their bodies.

The way Betty depicts her life, the lives of her coworkers, and the lives of the friends she knew, we can infer that the work was exceedingly challenging. Betty knew a woman who had a kid and returned to work the following week, the author also tells the reader.

Therefore, the pit's working conditions were tough, and the task was highly challenging, according to Betty's description. The work was challenging. She had only one break all day.

Much of the story seems to hint at the husband being a werewolf, and the reader assumes that he is naturally in a human state. These lines describe the transformation from a wolf to a two-legged "hateful one." The hair "begun to come away all over his body," leaving his skin white, and his eyes turn blue "with white rims around the blue." She also describes his "flat, soft, white face." All of these characteristics describe a human man.

The chief's daughter adopted the child, never knowing that he was in fact Raven the trickster.The daughter loved the child, but soon the baby began to cry. The Sky Chief did whatever he could to comfort his new grandson, but the baby was inconsolable. Finally, to appease the child, he gave him a small box to play with. Raven, as the baby, tumbled and tossed the box until it fell open. Whoosh! The stars flew up through the smoke hole in the ceiling, settling in the night sky.The chief was very upset, but was able to recover, as they were only stars and not very luminous.Based on the passage, the reader can infer that some Haida families lived in homes that:________.

Answers

Answer:

Had fireplace

Explanation:

Just took the test your welcome

It is apparent to the reader that some Haida households resided in dwellings with fireplaces. Therefore, fireplaces are the correct answer.

What identifies they had a fireplace?

Indigenous people from North America who call Canada home for thousands of years are known as the Haida.

The narrator says that the stars "flew through the smoke hole in the ceiling" in the passage. This information leads us to believe that this particular residence had a fireplace.

A smoke hole's function is to let the smoke created by a fire escape. It can be concluded that if this property has a fireplace, it is likely that other homes had fireplaces as well.

As a result, fireplaces were used in the homes by Haidas are the correct answer. Hence, the correct fill up in the blank is "had fireplaces."
