How does "The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse" by Saroyan conclude?

After a chance encounter with John Byro one morning, the cousins decide that they will return the horse to its rightful owner. The next day, Mourad and Aram take the beautiful white horse back to John Byro's barn.


As they return the horse, Aram notes that John Byro's dogs aren't barking at them. Mourad responds that he has a way with dogs; in truth, the dogs probably recognize his scent, as Mourad was the one...

After a chance encounter with John Byro one morning, the cousins decide that they will return the horse to its rightful owner. The next day, Mourad and Aram take the beautiful white horse back to John Byro's barn.


As they return the horse, Aram notes that John Byro's dogs aren't barking at them. Mourad responds that he has a way with dogs; in truth, the dogs probably recognize his scent, as Mourad was the one who took the horse from John Byro's property.


Because the Garoghlanian family is famed for its honesty and integrity, Mourad and Aram decide that they must return the horse. It is, however, a sad occasion for them when they do so. Their reward comes, however, when John Byro brings the horse to Aram's house and proclaims that the horse is better-tempered and stronger than ever. The story concludes with Aram's Uncle Khosrove yelling at John Byro and proclaiming that he should cease to take note of discrepancies; after all, the important thing is that his horse has been returned to him.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a...

This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...
