A symbol that is widely recognized as standing for peace is a _________.a. fist
c. dove
b. circle
d. heart

Answers

Answer:

A symbol that is widely recognized as standing for peace is a dove.

Explanation:

The association dove/peace probably originates from the alliance described in the Old Testament.

After flooding the Earth to purify it, God made an alliance with Noah and his descendants, and promised to never flood the Earth again. When a dove returned to Noah's Ark holding an olive branch, Noah then knew it was safe to leave the Ark with his family and the animals they had saved.
It's a dove because it's white and pure

Answers

I think the answer is B. The Cheshire Cat speaks in a way that Alice can follow. This cat shows a detached but clearheaded logic in saying things. Also, he explains to Alice the madness of the Wonderland. However, the Mad Hatter only enjoys frustrating Alice constantly.

Can someone please proof read my discussion? It's for Comp 2, I just want to make sure it flows or of any changes I should make before I turn it in :) I’ve found a lot of new ways to look at life in the past year. Like Fink, I’ve found a different place to sit to help me see the full picture better.
I have an extensive list of interests, so many things truly captivate me in their beauty, complexity, and the feeling they evoke. Unfortunately, most of those things aren't of interest to others, and I've always found myself in a never-ending cycle of faking and suppressing my feelings in order to please others. Until recently, I had suppressed several of my old hobbies. I've discovered an incredible amount of peace and contentment in simply sitting, without thinking at all, and enjoying everything that brings me joy outside of others. But finding tranquility isn't exactly what I'm writing about; the journey taught me a lot about myself and life that I wouldn’t have learned any other way. I've seen a side of the world that I would never have seen otherwise, I've learned adaptability, and I've been able to push myself to do things I've always been afraid of. I've also realized that I was the source of my own misery, and I can now strive to do better in the future.

I was upset about the time I'd "wasted" for a while, and I had to take a different seat to embrace how much I'd learnt. As someone who likes to believe everything happens for a reason, something about fink’s words “On that sunny March afternoon in the bleachers, I understood. God expected Adam and Eve to eat the apple” (Fink 6) , really spoke to me and brought me back this special time.
