In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain, why is Simon Wheeler so eager to suggest to the stranger that

they bet on his frog? He is desparate and wants to earn some money to buy food. He is polite and wants to show the stranger a good time. He is lucky and almost always wins his bets. He is sneaky and wants to cheat the stranger out of some money.

He is lucky and almost always wins his bets.

FYI - Simon Wheeler does not suggest to the stranger that they bet on his frog. Simon Wheeler is the one telling the story about Jim Smiley and his frog Dan'l Webster. Dan'l Webster is the frog that is a great jumper so it's a good bet. However, the stranger fills Dan'l Webster with shot so he can't jump high and Smiley loses the bet.

How did Thoreau’s general opinion of government relate to his imprisonment, as described in "Civil Disobedience"?
cestrela7 [59]

Thoreau’s general opinion of government relate to his imprisonment, as described in "Civil Disobedience" as:

A) He believed that government was corrupt and that he was justified in not paying his taxes despite being put in prison.

Henry David Thoreau's argument in the “Civil Disobedience” was that the citizens of a nation need to disobey the laws implemented by the state if the laws are unjust. He speaks about his experience when he protested against slavery and the Mexican War by refusing to pay taxes. He adds that there are two types of laws, one is made by God and the other by the people. The laws made by God is about humanity and is higher than the laws made by men. He adds that if the laws made by men prove to be unjust and are against humanity then the people should have the right to disobey them.

In about one hundred words, discuss the theme "Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued" as it relates to "Gift of the Magi." Provide
nevsk [136]
In the story, "Gift of the Magi", Della sacrificed her hair to buy her husband a platinum fob chain for his watch as her Christmas gift to him. Unknown to her, James sold off his watch to buy her a set of combs she has been lusting upon for so long.

Both items were of great value to each of them but they each sacrificed it to buy gifts that they believe will give happiness to each other and to show how much they love one another.

Sacrifice is a virtue to be valued because it is one way of expressing deep love to your loved ones. You would rather suffer a bit of self-disappointment to make your love ones happy.
