PLEASE HELP MEEE As a parable, or a simple story used to illustrate a lesson, what knowledge or moral does the poem, "The Blind Man And The Elephant" impart to the audience?

Answers

Answer:

The moral of the story is that people should give room for other people’s ideas, opinions and experiences. People’s experiences should not be disregarded because they are different from ours or different from the norm. This is because people are different with different backgrounds and experiences and will always see things differently.

Explanation:

The story for parable of “The Blind Men and the Elephant” is a parable that originated in Indian. It is the story of a particular group of blind men who had never seen an elephant before.

They try to learn about it for the very first time by touching an elephant. Each man begins by touching different parts of the body of the elephant. Because they each touched different parts of the elephant, they describe it in different ways. This led to disagreements because each of them described the elephants based on their own experience and felt the other was being dishonest.

Answer:

The moral of the story is that people should give room for other people’s ideas, opinions and experiences. People’s experiences should not be disregarded because they are different from ours or different from the norm.

Answer: Because of the rise in petty crime , a curfew will be in effect at 11:00 pm

Explanation: A P E X

Answer:

C!

Explanation:

Although "moreover" could be an intorductory phrase, it is not currently being used as one. "Moreover" is being used as a subordinating conjunction; they help establish that part of the sentence as more important than the other.

The correct answer would be C. "Because of the rise of petty crime" does not seem like an introductory phrase like for example, as a result, or on the other hand but it is being used as one.

How the rabbit got his short tail & the blue ox makes lakesHow the Rabbit Got Its Short Tail & The Blue Ox Makes Lakes Traditional How the Rabbit Got Its Short Tail 1Long ago, all the animals lived together on Animal Island. Rabbit was one of the proudest animals, and he liked to show off his very long, furry tail. Fox grew tired of listening to Rabbit boast about his tail and decided to play a trick on him. 2One winter morning, Fox went to the lake where the animals liked to drink. The lake was frozen, so Fox cut a hole in the ice. Then, she tied a fish to her tail and dipped it into the chilly water. When Rabbit arrived at the lake, he wanted to know what was happening. 3Im fishing with my tail, Rabbit, announced Fox, displaying the fish. 4With my long, beautiful tail, I can certainly catch ten fish! bragged Rabbit. He cut into the ice and dipped his tail into the water. Overnight the water froze, and Rabbits tail became stuck. Fox laughed at Rabbit, who tugged so hard that his long tail popped off! 5And that is why rabbits have short tails. The Blue Ox Makes Lakes 6In America's pioneer days, Paul Bunyan was the biggest, strongest lumberjack ever to swing an ax. He could chop down a whole forest with one swing. He could eat four dozen eggs and a sack of potatoes each morning for breakfast. 7One winter, when the weather was so cold that the snow turned blue, Paul Bunyan found a baby ox nearly frozen in the ice. A big man like Paul Bunyan needed an ox to carry all the lumber he chopped. The lumberjack warmed the little ox by the fire, but he stayed as blue as the sky. Paul Bunyan named the animal Babe the Blue Ox. 8Babe grew as big as a house and carried the trees that Paul Bunyan chopped. He tricked the lumberjacks with heavy footsteps that shook the ground like earthquakes. As Babe the Blue Ox journeyed across the country, he left a trail of deep hoof prints.
