Guard Llamas
by J. Robbins

Livestock, such as sheep, cattle, and goats, are vulnerable to many threats, and predation of valuable livestock costs millions of dollars per year. A guard animal lives with a herd or flock to protect the livestock and deter predators. Shepherds, farmers, and ranchers consider the ideal guard animal to be one that is effective, fearless, cost-effective, and easy to maintain. Surprisingly, guard llamas have proven to fit the bill in most circumstances and can be found guarding animals on farms and ranches across the United States and North America.
Llamas are members of the South American Camelidae family and are used as beasts of burden in many areas of the world. They are well-socialized to humans and bond quickly with livestock. Additionally, llamas react aggressively to members of the Canidae family—including dogs, coyotes, jackals, foxes, and wolves. These attributes make llamas ideal guard animals for a variety of livestock, although they are most widely used to guard sheep. Once llamas become attached to their livestock, they actively protect the animals by chasing, kicking, or spitting at predators and moving the flock to a safe location.
In a study conducted by Iowa State University in 1990, llamas were rated as effective guard animals by 80 percent of sheep owners. Many ecologists and wildlife biologists are also pleased with this practice because it provides a non-lethal way to handle predators. Llamas are also a sound investment for shepherds, farmers, and ranchers because they are long-lived (often living up to 20 years), acclimated to a wide variety of climates, and able to graze on the same land as sheep, goats, and cattle. Although they are not 100% successful against predators, guard llamas can be an effective, economic, and ecologically friendly resource to help livestock owners protect their livelihood.

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.

From the text, it can be predicted that "Nora is going to tell Helmer to treat her better".

We can deduce that when Nora stated that she has not be happy but rather merry, she was pointing out to Helmer that she wanted to be merry and not just merry.

Nora pointed out that their marriage has been more of playing and catching fun but still felt that there is something better that can come forth from the marriage. So, the prediction is that she will tell Helmer to treat her better.

Answer: I accidentally commented instead of answered, my bad

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.

"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.

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.

Answer:

Whose acceptance is that? I think I know.

Its owner is quite sad though.

It really is a tale of woe,

I watch her frown. I cry hello.

She gives her acceptance a shake,

And sobs until the tears make.

The only other sound's the break,

Of distant waves and birds awake.

The acceptance is accept, become apart of and deep,

But she has promises to keep,

Until then she shall not sleep.

She lies in bed with ducts that weep.

She rises from her bitter bed,

With thoughts of sadness in her head,

She idolises being dead.

Facing the day with never ending dread.
