What are three significant passages from "The Lovely Bones"? or a device of symbolism. and i also need the page num for each of those:) so please...

Here are
three important passages from that show how Abigail deals with the loss of
her daughter.

Chapter 3

She had a stare
that stretched to infinity. She was, in that moment, not my mother but something separate from
me. I looked at what I had never seen as anything but Mom. . . . Ocean Eyes, my father called
her. . . . And now I understood the name. I had thought it was because they were blue, but now I
saw it was because they were bottomless in a way that I found frightening.


This first quote shows that Abigail wants more than just
motherhood. She had dreams and plans that were derailed when her children were born. She spends
time in the morning being a regular person, not just a mother. Susie sees this moment and feels
intrigued and confused by it. Abigail loves her children but resents the loss of herself and her
dreams.

Chapter 16

Weve had the
memorial, she said. Thats done for me. Whats done?. . . . She leaned slightly forward. . .

What philosophical, religious, or cultural ideas served to legitimize the class and gender inequalities of classical civilizations?

There
were a number of ideals that contributed to class and gender inequalities in classical
civilizations. In terms of class and nationality differences, there was a systemic belief in the
majority of civilizations that they were favored by their set of gods. The proximity of a
culture to its deities enabled them to believe that they were the chosen race and that other
races were lesser because they were farther away, such as the Greeks with Olympus and Egypt with
the Nile being a major factor in the religion. They would use the idea that the gods were close
to them as a rationale for enslaving and subjugating others.

Gender
inequalities typically stemmed from physical differences between men and womenwomen were
slighter, shorter, and physically not as strong, and this was instilled into their religions as
well. The greatest godsZeus, Ra, Jupiter, and so onwere all men, and they wielded the most
strength. This reinforced ideas that women were the "weaker sex" and should
be...

What is significant about setting the story in December and during Christmas?

The story
"" shows readers a glimpse into a regular ritual for the main character, Phoenix, so
it's interesting that this glimpse happens to be at Christmastime. Phoenix herself never bring
up Christmas, but the other characterswhite people who are more connected to commercial society
than she ishold it as a focus, and the hunter even suggests that it's the only explanation for
her arduous journey. Phoenix makes this journey as an act of care for her grandson, and she's
been doing it every time he runs out of medicine for years now. This stands in stark contrast to
the two nickels she's given out of a Christmas-motivated sense of charity, which pale in
comparison to the acts of kindness she undertakes as part of her everyday life. Her decision to
spend the money on a paper windmill as a gift for her grandson, something short-lived and
insubstantial, further emphasizes Phoenix's feelings about the holiday
charity.

What arguments did the colonists use to object to the new taxes in the 1760s?

There were
three major arguments that the colonists used when objecting to the new taxes imposed by the
British in these years.

First, they argued that they should not be taxed by a
legislature in which they were not represented .  This is the famous "no taxation without
representation" argument."

Second, they argued that Parliament
should only tax for the purpose of regulating trade.  They argued that taxes that were meant
solely for the purpose of raising revenue went against the (unwritten) British
constitution.

Third, they argued that Parliament only had the right to impose
taxes on goods that entered and left the colonies.  They argued that Parliament had no right to
impose taxes on things that were not being traded into or out of the colonies.


All of these arguments were used at various times to oppose the new taxes imposed by
the British.
