store to her home, how many miles would she travel?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Distance = 15\ miles

Explanation:

Given

North = 12\ miles

East = 9\ miles

Required

Distance from her house to the store

If she drive straight from her house to the store, this would form a right angled triangle;

Where the horizontal line would be:

North = 12\ miles

And the vertical line;

East = 9\ miles

And the required distance would be the hypothenuse of the triangle;

Using Pythagoras, we have:

Distance^2 = 9^2 + 12^2

Distance^2 = 81 + 144

Distance^2 = 225

Take square root of both sides

Distance = 15\ miles

What is the theme of the story of Rapunzel

Answers

Doing something forbidden may cost you something you truly love. In this case, for Rapunzel's mother. She does something that is forbidden (eats the rampion) and she ends up losing something dear to her (her child.) and Determination of love. After Rapunzel is banished to a desert, and the prince loses his eyesight. The two of them could of easily moved on from each other and given up. However they did not, because they were determined to find each other, because they were in love.

Every great story has at least one theme, a central idea that the story’s events make the reader think about deeply. These themes are like the foundation of the story, giving the reader some solid ground to stand on as the tale unfolds. While some stories may contain many themes, they all need at least one to give them a purpose and direction. Several themes appear in the Brothers Grimm short story Rapunzel, which include; forbidden temptations may cost you something you truly love, and determination of love. The first apparant theme in Rapunzel is that forbidden temptations may cost you something you truly love. In the beginning of the story, Rapunzel's mother was "standing by [the] window and looking down into the garden, when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion, and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it" (1). This already shows bad temptation, considering that the rampion is not hers, therefore she shouldn't take it without asking. She asked her husband to get her some, going as far as saying "if I can't eat some of the rampion . . . I shall die" (1). The husband complied, although he knows it is a wrong thing to do, shown when he thinks to himself, "bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost what it will" (1).

She asked her husband to get her some, going as far as saying "if I can't eat some of the rampion . . . I shall die" (1). This shows that she is already addicted to the thought of having some of this rampion; she is letting it rule her life already, even though she hasn't had any of it yet. The husband complied, although he knows it is a wrong thing to do, shown when he thinks to himself, "bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost what it will" (1). He brought the rampion to her, however, this only makes her addiction worse, as she now wants it "three times as much as before" (1). He ventured back into the garden, however this time he was discovered by the enchantress, who was very angry. He explained his situation to her, and afterwards she told him that she would "allow [him] to take away with [him] as much rampion as [he] will" but he must "give [her] the child which [his] wife [would] bring into the world" (2). This rampion addiction of hers cost her the only thing she ever wanted, a child. She was selfish, and didn't think of the consequences of taking something that wasn't hers. This just proves that forbidden temptations may cost you something you truly love.

Can anyone help me discuss two ways in which an advocacy campaign can raise awareness.

Answers

Advocacy campaigns are activities by individuals or groups which aim to influence decisions within political, economic or social systems and institutions.

One way in which an advocacy campaign can raise awareness is media advocacy. It was successfully used to fight alcohol and tobacco related health issues. By taking about the negative effects of alcohol and smoking, the media advocacy helped to raise awareness about this problem. The biggest advantage of this type of campaign is their reach:  TV, radio and the internet are widely used and their influence on people' opinion building is very high.

Another way to raise awareness through an advocacy campaign is  massadvocacy. It is any type of action taken by a large group ( a petition or demonstration). The purpose of a demonstration is to make some decision making bodies aware of an existing problem. The will to participate in such event is a sign of a raised awareness already.

The two main ways that advocacy groups go about getting their message across is to appeal directly to voters (either through advertisements, meetings, etc.) or appeal directly to politicians, through lobbying campaigns.
