Gatsby doesn't realize that Mrs. Sloane's dinner invitation is a superficial gesture meant to maintain appearances in high society. Mrs. Sloane and her husband are not genuinely interested in building a meaningful connection with Gatsby; instead, they view him as a spectacle to observe and entertain themselves with. Ultimately, Gatsby underestimates the shallowness of their social interactions.

At the end of the movie, we find out that Anna has imagined that her sister Alex was alive, when she actually died in the fire that killed the mother. If you watch the movie again, you'll see that no one else actually interacts with Alex (did you see the "Sixth Sense?"). In flashbacks you see what actually happened months earlier on the day the mother and Alex died in the fire.....Anna was angry after seeing her father having sex with the nurse Rachel so she went down to the boathouse to get some fuel to set fire to the big house. Anna doesn't turn the valve off completely causing the fuel to leak out (which Anna didn't do that part on purpose) and Alex stumbles in and causes the lantern to fall, igniting the fuel and the boathouse. I don't quite understand why the sick mother was confined to the boathouse, except maybe so the father could have sex with the nurse, but why the mother was living there isn't really important anyway. So the mother and Alex die in an explosion that was pure accident. Though it appears that Anna did want to burn something that night, it wasn't supposed to be the boathouse, it was just a horrible accident. This event lead Anna to a psychotic break and to the psyche ward we see her in the beginning. During her time at the psyche ward, she met the murderer, Mildred Kemp, who shared her stories of murder with Anna. Anna is released and goes home to find the nurse sharing the home with the father and doesn't trust her. Anna must have repressed the memories of how the fire truly started that night, as no one realizes that Anna played any part in it (again, although accidental). So in order to cope, she IMAGINES her sister is still alive (watch again, no one else ever sees Alex) and she imagines the nurse planned the mother's death (I guess because it is to stressful to admit her actions caused it). This is where the Mildred Kemp murder stories come in--Anna IMAGINES that Mildred was never caught (though at the end we see she has been institutionalized all along), and that Rachel is Mildred's new identity. Therefore, Anna convinces herself, as she tries to convince the sherrif, that Rachel is Mildred, the murderer of the Wright children (the three kids that are haunting her). The sheriff obviously doesn't believe Anna's account of Rachel's identity, which he wouldn't if he knew the real Mildred Kemp was institutionalized. Rachel does sedate her, but we find out at the end, it is because she truly wanted what was best for Anna, not to murder her. Anna wakes up and believes Alex killed Rachel in self defense. Then the father comes along, snaps Anna out of her delusion and we see that Anna killed Rachel. I believe Anna killed her for two reasons: repressed anger from catching her having an affair with the father the night of the fire AND because she was delusional and truly thought Rachel was going to kill her. The boy Matt was just collateral damage because he saw Anna leaving the boathouse the night of the fire and tried to tell her the night he died (we see that in the flashbacks at the end). I believe the haunting from the mother's corpse and the children were trying to make Anna aware of her part in everything and trying to bring her to reality. Rachel did change her identity, but as the father said, I guess it was to escape an abusive relationship. And when Anna says at the end, that she finished what she started, I believe she means that she finally killed the woman that she originally intended to harm the night of the fire, the woman she caught having the affair with her father--Rachel.

actually, it was used in the french and English wars, when captors would offer the option to prisoners to either be killed or bite a fig from the anus of a donkey. the sign is a huge insult in England, and tells the other person that i hate you and the only way you can regain my respect is to do something horrible, like to bite a fig out of an ass's ass.

You could say something like, "Welcome to our annual women's church service! We are so glad to have you all here to share in this beautiful gathering of faith and community. Thank you for joining us today."

simply say.. you are welcome! because when you give you dont expect something in return and by saying you are welcome, it is like you are trying to explain to that person that what you have done/given him/her is just for her/him..

The short and always all-encompassing answer is the Golden Rule . Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

It is a graceful gesture of accepting the honor with humility, rather than displaying vanity. It is a quid pro quo reciprocation of respect to the honor itself, and the person / institution bestowing the honor. This is socially appreciated, and often expected.

The word, when used as a verb, can mean submissive or obedient, so when person says that they are "humbled and honored" it means that they are in a state of submissiveness or obedience to the will of the group that is honoring them. Similar to how the word is used as a verb in Philippians 2:8 "And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."

It is up to the family to decide whether to include the ex-wife in the funeral obituary. In some cases, if the relationship was significant and respectful, it may be appropriate to include her. However, it ultimately depends on the family's preference and the nature of the relationship.

****I think it varies from person to person. I feel that 10% of what you are paying for to be done to your hair is perfect. If you feel that the assistant should receive more than 10%, that would always be OK, but less may make them feel as though they did not do their job as well as they could have. People in a profession such as this LIVE on these tips, they do not get paid much otherwise!****

personally I used to tip my old shampoo girl,but since I started going to a new place the girla lways gets soap in my ears and doesn't do I great job so i don't tip her. I think between 2-5 dollars depending on the hair salon is more than enough.

I am a sinister person, totally left handed. Casually and in fun I can be known as 'Cack - handed' or 'Gammy - handed'.

There are degrees of chirality (handedness) . I am 96% left handed. I might occasionally do something that is right-handed. Right- handers (dexter) will also have degrees of handedness, e.g kick a ball, or hold a bat etc.,

There is a web-site for left-handers.
