In his book “Guns, Germs and Steel,” Jared Diamond argues that societies that have prevailed and conquered others (for example, Eurasian societies) have been lucky in terms of environment. This has allowed them to enjoy advantages and adaptations that other cultures have not had. When he discusses the case of Papua New Guinea, he gives several reasons for the lack of technological development they had before the arrival of Europeans:

Lack of large mammals that could be of help in transportation or agriculture.

Isolation from other major cultures.

Lack of domesticable animals.

Lack of domesticable crops.

Enormous natural barriers that prevented constant contact between various cultural groups.

1. Eighty-six days and done. Life was dead. Paul D beat her butt all day every day until there was not a whimper in her. How doe
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

  1. Paul D's emotions in jail are cold and insensitive.
  2. The metaphor explains that your emotions are like something inert and that they do not provide any feeling.

Explanation:

"Eighty-six days and done. Life was dead. Paul D beat her butt all day every day until there was not a whimper in her." It is a quote that shows how all the abuses, violent situations and injustice that Paul D suffered faced in prison, left him cold and insensitive to the point that he did not care about the death of life, nor try to save it, on the contrary he wants to be even more violent towards her, hitting life to the point of her, literally losing consciousness and stop moaning.

The metaphor "tobacco tin lodged in his chest", shows how Paul D.'s emotions are non-existent, without interfering in his life. It is as if his emotions were something inert, without movement and expression, like a can of tobacco.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The three basic group of parts for all modern firearms are: action, stock, and barrel.
The action is the heart of the firearm - the moving parts that load, fire, and eject the shells or cartridges.
The stock serves as the handle of the firearm. It can be composed of one or two pieces and is usually made from wood or a synthetic material.
The barrel is the metal tube that the projectile travels through.
