The original source of the adage "Blood is Thicker than Water" is the proverb "The Blood of the Covenant is Thicker than the Water of the Womb." This signifies that the blood spilled on the battlefield (the covenant's blood) creates a link stronger than the bonds of blood (the water of the womb) between relatives.
As the old adage goes, "blood is thicker than water," which is to say that familial ties will always be more stable than those with strangers. The oldest record of this statement can be traced back to the 12th century in German. The term "blood" for relatives has been used since ancient Greek and Roman times. As early as the 1400s, the phrase was being used in this way throughout the English-speaking globe.
The medieval German beast epic Reinhart Fuchs introduced a similar saying. "I also hear that kin-blood is not ruined by water," in English. Jacob Grimm says that this phrase, which is not seen elsewhere, signifies that familial blood is not destroyed by baptism, therefore the raven Diezelin will have acquired his father's attitude despite being baptized.

Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about?
That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman?
Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect"] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back , and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain't got nothing more to say.

What is the mood on Animal Farm after the public confessions and slaughter?
I KNOW THAT NO ONE WILL SEE THIS BUT PLEASE ANSWER
Answer:
The tone of Animal Farm is initially playful and lighthearted, but it becomes bitter as the story unfolds. The story begins with a tone suggesting the reader is embarking on a superficially silly story about ridiculous humans and talking animals.
Explanation:
Answer:
In the bitter cold of winter, the animals struggle to rebuild the windmill. In January, they fall short of food, a fact that they work to conceal from the human farmers around them, lest Animal Farm be perceived to be failing. The humans refuse to believe that Snowball caused the destruction of the windmill, saying that the windmill’s walls simply weren’t thick enough. The animals deem this explanation false, but they nevertheless decide to build the walls twice as thick this time. Squealer gives ennobling speeches on the glory of sacrifice, but the other animals acquire their real inspiration from the example of Boxer, who works harder than ever. In order to feed the animals, Napoleon contracts to sell four hundred eggs a week. The other animals react with shock—one of Old Major’s original complaints about humans focused on the cruelty of egg selling, or so they remember. The hens rebel, and Napoleon responds by cutting their rations entirely. Nine hens die before the others give in to Napoleon’s demands.
Soon afterward, the animals hear, to their extreme dismay, that Snowball has been visiting the farm at night, in secret, and sabotaging the animals’ efforts. Napoleon says that he can detect Snowball’s presence everywhere, and whenever something appears to go wrong by chance, Snowball receives the blame. One day, Squealer announces that Snowball has sold himself to Mr. Frederick’s farm, Pinchfield, and that the treacherous pig has been in league with Mr. Jones from the start. He recalls Snowball’s attempts at the Battle of the Cowshed to have the animals defeated. The animals hear these words in stupefied astonishment. They remember Snowball’s heroism and recall that he received a medal. Boxer, in particular, is completely baffled. But Napoleon and Squealer convince the others that Snowball’s apparent bravery simply constituted part of his treacherous plot. They also work to convince the animals of Napoleon’s superior bravery during that battle. So vividly does Squealer describe Napoleon’s alleged heroic actions that the animals are almost able to remember them.
Four days later, Napoleon convenes all of the animals in the yard. With his nine huge dogs ringed about him and growling, he stages an inquisition and a purge: he forces certain animals to confess to their participation in a conspiracy with Snowball and then has the dogs tear out these supposed traitors’ throats. The dogs, apparently without orders, even attack Boxer, who effortlessly knocks them away with his huge hooves. But four pigs and numerous other animals meet their deaths, including the hens who rebelled at the proposal to sell their eggs. The terrible bloodshed leaves the animals deeply shaken and confused. After Napoleon leaves, Boxer says that he would never have believed that such a thing could happen on Animal Farm. He adds that the tragedy must owe to some fault in the animals themselves; thus, he commits to working even harder. Clover looks out over the farm, wondering how such a glorious rebellion as theirs could have come to its current state. Some of the animals begin to sing “Beasts of England,” but Squealer appears and explains that “Beasts of England” may no longer be sung. It applied only to the Rebellion, he says, and now there is no more need for rebellion. Squealer gives the animals a replacement song, written by Minimus, the poet pig. The new song expresses profound patriotism and glorifies Animal Farm, but it does not inspire the animals as “Beasts of England” once did.
Analysis
The humans react with relief when the windmill topples because its failure seems to justify their contempt for the animals and their belief in their own superiority. Similarly, Soviet Russia struggled against a largely justified reputation for industrial incompetence, famine, and poor management. Stalin’s vaunted Five-Year Plans for agriculture resulted in the starvation of millions of people, and industrial production lagged far behind the capitalist West. But the Soviets were determined to mask their problems and keep them from the eyes of the rest of the world. Correspondingly, the pigs of Animal Farm devise elaborate schemes to keep the human farmers from learning about their difficulties. The windmill becomes an important measure of the farm’s competence, and its collapse deals a major blow to the pigs’ prestige as equals in the community of farms—just as Soviet Russia’s industrial setbacks threatened its position as an equal to the leading nations of the world and as a viable model

All three caskets contain valuable treasures.
The text reveals the thought process of the person choosing.
The person who is to be married is the one who presents the caskets.
It is clear that the person who is to be married wants the suitor to choose correctly.
Answer:
The text reveals the thought process of the person choosing.
Explanation:
this is what I think if I get it wrong at least I tried
The choice is presented differently in the text "revealing the thought process of the person choosing." Therefore, option (b) or (ii) is the correct answer.
What were the three criteria for selecting the casket?Three caskets—one made of gold, one of silver, and one of lead—are displayed to potential partners as part of the test. The suitor wins Portia's hand if he selects the right casket.
The gold coffin represents avarice, as well as superficial, materialistic people who place more emphasis on appearance than on content.
The person who chooses the coffin containing Portia's image will be able to wed her.
If the wrong casket is selected, he must remain single, keep his choice a secret, and depart right away. The Prince of Morocco is the first potential suitor.
Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer.

If a society is unguarded and unprepared, what do you think would be the correct term for them if a hazard would be coming?
Answer:
Physical, economic, social and political factors determine people's level of vulnerability and the extent of their capacity to resist, cope with and recover from hazards. Clearly, poverty is a major contributor to vulnerability. ... They tend to be better protected from hazards and have preparedness systems in place.
Explanation:
A correct term for this society would be "weakened."
We can use this term, because we know that society is weakened, as it has no protection and no preparation to combat the approaching danger.
The word "weakened" refers to:
Something weakened.Something down.Something diminished.Something fragile.Something unprepared.Something without strength.Thus, we can conclude that in the system formed by society and the danger that will be established over it, danger is a strengthened element, while society is a weakened element.
Furthermore, the term "weakened" can be synonymous with the terms "unguarded" and "unprepared" which are the features of this society.
