The Stage Manager in the play Our Town serves as a "narrator"; he (or she, in some productions) explains the action to the audience, and since there is little in the way of set decoration, his commentary takes the place of some stage direction. He is a conduit between the action of the play and the audience, at times breaking the "fourth wall" by speaking directly to the audience, and at other times participating in the action. His role is similar to the role of the Chorus in ancient classical Greek drama, commenting on the action to help clarify some of the dramatic elements for the audience and helping to move the plot along.
Answer:
An <u>Action Potential</u> is an <u><em>"All or Nothing"</em></u> phenomenon. It was first described in 1871 by a Physiologist Henry Pickering Bowditch.
Explanation:
The action potential is always a full response, there is no such thing as a strong or weak potential. This means that when<u> a stimulus is given, a neuron either does not reach the threshold or a full action potential is fired</u>.
<u><em>STATEMENT OF LAW:</em></u>
The all or none law states that , <u>the strength of a response of a nerve cell or a muscle fiber do not depends upon the strength of a stimulus. If a stimulus is above a certain threshold, the nerve cell will send the information down the axon towards the synapse and the signal is being propagated.</u>
<u><em>SIGNIFICANCE:</em></u>
The significance of this law is that<u> it minimizes the possibility of information to be lost along the way.</u>
This law was initially applied to the muscles of heart but later it was found to be true for neuronal cells and other muscle fibers too.
Thus an action potential is all or nothing event.
The answer would be D, "children" AND "family spending habits", because these are the most direct terms relating to the question, and it contains an 'AND' in it, which means you're looking for both terms.
<span>Melville’s story is an allegory that conveys his criticism of Christian missionaries. Melville uses several biblical, scientific, mythological, and historical allusions to build his allegory. The lightning-rod man represents Christian missionaries, while the narrator represents Melville’s beliefs. According to him, missionaries are displacing and destroying the cultures they are attempting to convert rather than bringing them true spirituality. Although the narrator isn’t influenced by the lightning-rod man, he is saddened and worried to see his neighbors fall prey to the missionaries' trap. The narrator tries to dissuade his neighbors from believing in the lightning-rod man, who continues to thrive as he “trades with the fears of men.” Unlike many others of the time period, Melville believes in being God-loving, not God-fearing. :) Hope this helped. </span>
