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 were Ray Kroc and Walt Disney similar?
Scrat [10]

Ray Kroc was the food critic that pushed McDonald to what it is today. Walt Disney was from a broken home until he created Disney and even today, it is a great billion dollar company. Disney was born in Chicago, so answer A would be incorrect. C would be incorrect also because Walt Disney was raised in poverty rated homes. The answer, one I cannot give you because you should need to complete it yourself, should either be D or B.

Ophelia is a character of great interest and debate among literary scholars. Why? Select all that apply.
Firlakuza [10]
Her conflict with Hamlet raises gender role issues - because Hamlet is one amongst the numerous those that outline Ophelia by her sexuality. She has no management over her body, her relationships, or her selections throughout the story.
Her beauty and charm could be a model of feminine stereotype - fully tractable and passive; she refuses to fight back once she extremely has to.
