{a: taking with her some jewels that belonged to her, and a small sum of money, she quitted italy}, with an attendant, a native of leghorn, but who understood the common language of turkey, and departed for germany. {b: she arrived in safety at a town about twenty leagues from the cottage of de lacey,} when her attendant fell dangerously ill. {c: safie nursed her with the most devoted affection}; but the poor girl died, and the arabian was left alone, unacquainted with the language of the country, and utterly ignorant of the customs of the world. she fell, however, into good hands. the italian had mentioned the name of the spot for which they were bound; and, after her death, the woman of the house in which they had lived took care that safie should arrive in safety at the cottage of her lover.

presently i found, by the frequent recurrence of one sound which {d: the stranger repeated after them}, that {e: she was endeavouring to learn their language}; and the idea instantly occurred to me, that i should make use of the same instructions to the same end. {f: the stranger learned about twenty words at the first lesson}, most of them indeed were those which i had before understood, but i profited by the others.

A: Taking with her some jewels that belonged to her, and a small sum of money, she quitted Italy.

E: she was endeavouring to learn their language.

These two sentences show how independent Safie was. We first learn that she was going to travel through Europe. She took her belongings, jewels and some money, and left Italy. This shows that Safie is comfortable making her own decisions and travelling by herself. Also, we learn that upon arrival at her destination, Safie tried to learn the new language. This shows that Safie is proactive in her search for autonomy and independence.

uh, the answer is d i guess.

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
