L. Frank Baum’s “The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger,” begins with the Cowardly Lion deciding he wants to tear a person to pieces and the Hungry Tiger deciding he wants to eat a “fat baby.” The story progresses with the lion and tiger walking around the Emerald City looking for a person and a baby.  However, when they find the objects of their quest, instead of tearing the person to pieces, the lion helps her up after she falls down and “with much gentleness carried her into her house.”  And, instead of eating a lost baby the tiger finds crying for its mother, the tiger “safely deposited [it] beside its mother,” which just so happens to be the same person the lion helps.  Irony can be seen here in how the opposites of the beginning intentions of their adventure occur—helping instead of killing.

<u><em>The Rosetta stone is the code that revealed the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphics allowing to the archeologist and to the scholars to read and interpreting inscriptions and reliefs like texts and tombs in a modern understanding. Thomas Young has shown first, then the French scholar Jean-François Champollion that provide the foundations of many information on the ancient Egyptian culture. </em></u>

NeX [460]

Answer: The image of the penny in line 14 is appropriate because the narrator refers to herself as a new-minted penny, meaning that she is young and vigorous, and is willing to offer her help to the listener; the old lady.

Explanation: The poem speaks to an old lady, describing everything about her with tenderness. She refers to the elderly woman as “beautiful and faded", and compares her with old lovely things. In line 14, the narrator refers to herself as a new-minted penny, implying that the fact that she is young and vigorous, does not make her any better than the old lady, just like a penny does not have a big value. However, she offers her help and enthusiastic "sparkle" in whatever she needs.
