NEGORE, THE COWARD
He had followed the trail of his fleeing people for eleven days, and his pursuit had been in itself a flight; for behind him he knew full well were the dreaded Russians, Negore fled after his fleeing tribe and came upon it this summer night by the head waters of the Pee-lat. Though near the midnight hour, it was bright day as he passed through the weary camp. Many saw him, all knew him, but few and cold were the greetings he received.
"Negore, the Coward," he heard Illiha, a young woman, laugh, and Sun-ne, his sister's daughter, laughed with her.
Black anger ate at his heart; but he gave no sign, threading his way among the camp-fires until he came to one where sat an old man. A young woman was kneading with skillful fingers the tired muscles of his legs. He raised a sightless face and listened intently as Negore's foot crackled a dead twig.
"Who comes?" he queried in a thin, tremulous voice.
"Negore," said the young woman, scarcely looking up from her task.
Negore's face was expressionless. For many minutes he stood and waited. The old man's head had sunk back upon his chest. The young woman pressed and prodded the wasted muscles, resting her body on her knees, her bowed head hidden as in a cloud by her black wealth of hair. Negore watched the supple body, bending at the hips as a lynx's body might bend, pliant as a young willow stalk, and, withal, strong as only youth is strong. He looked, and was aware of a great yearning, akin in sensation to physical hunger. At last he spoke, saying:
"Is there no greeting for Negore, who has been long gone and has but now come back?"
"Thou art my woman, Oona," Negore said, his tones dominant and conveying a hint of menace.
She arose with catlike ease and suddenness to her full height, her eyes flashing, her nostrils quivering like a deer's.
"I was thy woman to be, Negore, but thou art a coward; the daughter of Old Kinoos mates not with a coward!"
"Old Kinoos and I came among you from a strange land. Thy people took us in by their fires and made us warm, nor asked whence or why we wandered. It was their thought that Old Kinoos had lost the sight of his eyes from age; nor did Old Kinoos say otherwise, nor did I, his daughter. Old Kinoos is a brave man, but Old Kinoos was never a boaster. And now, when I tell thee of how his blindness came to be, thou wilt know, beyond question, that the daughter of Kinoos cannot mother the children of a coward such as thou art, Negore."
Again she silenced the speech that rushed up to his tongue.
"Know, Negore, if journey be added unto journey of all thy journeyings through this land, thou wouldst not come to the unknown Sitka on the Great Salt Sea. In that place there be many Russian folk, and their rule is harsh. And from Sitka, Old Kinoos, who was Young Kinoos in those days, fled away with me, a babe in his arms, along the islands in the midst of the sea. My mother dead tells the tale of his wrong; a Russian, dead with a spear through breast and back, tells the tale of the vengeance of Kinoos.
"But wherever we fled, and however far we fled, always did we find the hated Russian folk. Kinoos was unafraid, but the sight of them was a hurt to his eyes; so we fled on and on, through the seas and years, till we came to the Great Fog Sea
"At last we came to Pastolik, which is where the Yukon drowns itself in the Great Fog Sea.
"So, when there came a ship, Old Kinoos stepped forward and said he would show the way. He was an old man then, and his hair was white; but he was unafraid. And he was cunning, for he took the ship to where the sea sucks in to the land and the waves beat white on the mountain called Romanoff. The sea sucked the ship in to where the waves beat white, and it ground upon the rocks and broke open its sides. Then came all the people of Pastolik, (for this was the plan), with their war-spears, and arrows, and some few guns. But first the Russians put out the eyes of Old Kinoos that he might never show the way again, and then they fought, where the waves beat white, with the people of Pastolik.
"Now the head-man of these Russians was Ivan. He it was, with his two thumbs, who drove out the eyes of Kinoos. He it was who fought his way through the white water, with two men left of all his men, and went away along the rim of the Great Fog Sea into the north. Kinoos was wise. He could see no more and was helpless as a child. So he fled away from the sea, up the great, strange Yukon, even to Nulato, and I fled with him.
"This was the deed my father did, Kinoos, an old man. But how did the young man, Negore?"
What information in the story would best support the idea that Kinoos should be called Kinoos, the brave? (1 point)
Select one:
a. He entered many unknown villages seeking shelter.
b. He raised a child on his own.
c. He travelled across the Great Fog Sea.
d. He volunteered for a dangerous deed.

Your email should be between 150 and 200 words long.

Answers

Just write something simple. For instance, your friend's name is Jack (or anything of your choice), and the item of your desire was a bike. You wanted to buy it because you were extremely inspired by a bike race you saw on TV a few weeks/months ago. You managed to get half the money from your dad, but the other half was from a part-time job you worked at as a barista/delivery driver/accountant whatever it is that you applied to solely for the sake of affording the bike.

Now that you've bought the bike, describe your excitement to learn riding it, your happiness of how you reached your goal and so forth. It should be easy.

I'm being vague here in case your assignment is an online one and there is chance of you receiving a plagiarism strike. I hope this helps.

The story takes place during the antebellum, or pre-Civil War period, of the United States. This was a time of American growth and expansion and, in some states, plantations and slavery.

Answers

Answer:

There are a few types of atoms that can be a part of a plant one day, an animal the next day, and then travel downstream as a part of a river’s water the following day. These atoms can be a part of both living things like plants and animals, as well as non-living things like water, air, and even rocks. The same atoms are recycled over and over in different parts of the Earth. This type of cycle of atoms between living and non-living things is known as a biogeochemical cycle.

All of the atoms that are building blocks of living things are a part of biogeochemical cycles. The most common of these are the carbon and nitrogen cycles.

Pelucita is evaluating sources to help her answer her research question, "What are the most popular magic tricks?" Would the
following source be effective in helping to answer her research question?
Magic is short for Magic: The Gathering, which is known as the first official trading card game. Invented by Richard Garfield, the
game was first released in 1993 and has become extremely popular since then. The cards are now also available online, so players
can play in a variety of ways. The game is played by two or more people, and each game is a battle between different wizards.




No, because the source does not ask any questions.

Yes, because the source includes facts.


No, because the source describes a different topic.

Yes, because the source
mentions magic.

Answers

Answer: No, because the source describes a different topic.

Explanation:

An effective source for Pelucita's research question would be one that gives details on magic tricks and the most popular ones amongst them.

This source however, is describing something else. It alludes to the a card game called Magic and not actual magic which means that it will not talk about magic tricks and which ones are the most popular but rather about a card game.

It is therefore not an effective source.

Explanation:

Wright describes how Cassatt persevered despite obstacles. The correct option is D.

Who was Mary Cassatt?

Mary Cassatt is well-known for her Impressionist paintings of everyday women from the late 1800s. These are her most well-known works.

The Impressionist art movement was defined by a group of iconic 19th-century artists who painted scenes of everyday life with small, vibrant brush strokes.

Softground etching and drypoint were two of Mary Cassatt's favorite printmaking techniques. She would use softground etching to lay a pencil drawing over an acid-resistant wax-coated copper plate.

She'd then retrace the drawing, pushing down into the waxed surface to reach the metal.

Vanessa Wright expresses her opinion that Cassatt's ambitions were admirable as she describes Cassatt's perseverance in the face of adversity.

Thus, the correct option is D.
