Pls Pls Pls Pls can someone help me please here is the story:

'Peggotty,' says I, suddenly, 'were you ever married?'

'Lord, Master Davy,' replied Peggotty. 'What's put marriage in your head?'

She answered with such a start, that it quite awoke me. And then she stopped in her work, and

looked at me, with her needle drawn out to its thread's length.

'But WERE you ever married, Peggotty?' says I. 'You are a very handsome woman, an't you?'

I thought her in a different style from my mother, certainly; but of another school of beauty, I

considered her a perfect example. There was a red velvet footstool in the best parlour, on which

my mother had painted a nosegay. The ground-work of that stool, and Peggotty's complexion

appeared to me to be one and the same thing. The stool was smooth, and Peggotty was rough, but

that made no difference.

'Me handsome, Davy!' said Peggotty. 'Lawk, no, my dear! But what put marriage in your head?'

'I don't know!—You mustn't marry more than one person at a time, may you, Peggotty?'

'Certainly not,' says Peggotty, with the promptest decision.

'But if you marry a person, and the person dies, why then you may marry another person, mayn't

you, Peggotty?'

'YOU MAY,' says Peggotty, 'if you choose, my dear. That's a matter of opinion.'

'But what is your opinion, Peggotty?' said I.

I asked her, and looked curiously at her, because she looked so curiously at me.

'My opinion is,' said Peggotty, taking her eyes from me, after a little indecision and going on

with her work, 'that I never was married myself, Master Davy, and that I don't expect to be.

That's all I know about the subject.'

'You an't cross, I suppose, Peggotty, are you?' said I, after sitting quiet for a minute.

I really thought she was, she had been so short with me; but I was quite mistaken: for she laid

aside her work (which was a stocking of her own), and opening her arms wide, took my curly

head within them, and gave it a good squeeze. I know it was a good squeeze, because, being very

plump, whenever she made any little exertion after she was dressed, some of the buttons on the

back of her gown flew off. And I recollect two bursting to the opposite side of the parlour, while

she was hugging me.

'Now let me hear some more about the Crorkindills,' said Peggotty, who was not quite right in

the name yet, 'for I an't heard half enough

here is the questions

1. The first four paragraphs show a conversation between David and Peggotty, his nanny.

What does young David want to know?

2. The fourth paragraph explains what David means when he asks why Peggotty never

married, since she is “handsome.” Some of the sentences in this paragraph are written

differently than we would say them today. Rewrite one of those odd sentences here,

putting the words in an order that makes more sense to you.

3. How would a child ask this question today, in the 21st century? Rewrite the question the

way a child born four or five years ago would say it.

‘I don’t know!--You mustn’t marry more than one person at a time, may you, Peggotty?’

4. Read the page again to make sure you understand what it means. (You don’t have to

understand every single word on the page--just the main ideas.) Then explain how

Peggotty answers David’s question about marriage.

5. What is the relationship like between David and his nanny Peggotty? Describe their

relationship in the space below.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.

Plz im willing to put all my points on the line for this so it would be very nice if u guys could (there is also brainliest on the line)think of an intense argument you had or witnessed sometime in your life. close your eyes and remember every detail. to turn this into a dramatic scene you will need to make changes that will make it make more sense to the audience 500-600 words a description of the set up that explains what happened before the scene diction that matches the characters character objectives and obstacles are clearly conveyed a scene that escalates in dramatic intensity diction that is appropriate to the audience words that are not wasted in idle chit chat action (stage directions) that enhance the scene proper formatting for dramatldr i need a 500- 600 word argument that is understandable ot a high school audience
