, like the electricity of a storm which has not yet burst. Editha sat looking out into the hot spring afternoon, with her lips parted, and panting with the intensity of the question whether she could let him go. She had decided that she could not let him stay, when she saw him at the end of the leafless avenue, making slowly up, toward the house . . . .

Reika [66]

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question but this is what I think:

Protectively = adverb (ends with -ly and describes verbs)

Protective = adjective (describes nouns)

Protect = verb (is a doing word)

Protection = noun (the name of something?)


Hope this helps :)

What text evidence can readers use to infer that the last firebrand belongs to Nou, even before his name is called? Use at least
Paul [167]

Answer:

There are two sections of the story that lend credence to the fact that Nous firebrand was the last one to be thrown during the Chief's visit.

  1. The third sentence in the third paragraph indicates that they took turns and that Nous turn came last because, after Nous turn, there was no other mention of any other throw.  This means that all the other older warriors that thrown their flames before Nou.
  2. The third and fourth sentences in paragraph 4 state that everyone was happy except the older fire throwers because Nou had made them look weak and foolish.

This corroborates the evidence from the third paragraph that they had thrown their fires first and Nous fire went last.

Cheers!

A work of literature must provide more than factual accuracy or vivid physical reality... it must tell us more than we already k
bija089 [108]

Literature is read for various reasons. For example, some people read literature to understand other people better. Others read it for escapism. Entertainment is another common reason. All of these reasons depend on the author providing the reader with new information that is different to their own experiences of the world. If the author does not tell the reader more than he already knows, it is unlikely that the reader will be informed or entertained by the work.
