A cat grows old-gets no food-makes a plan to trap rats-wears garland of flowers-ring the bell-hearing the sound, rats came to him-he stays eyes up-a rat asks him-he replies he commits crime no more-is devotee of God-rats trust-walk freely-number of rats decreases-moral.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.

um hi, hope this answer !

here is the essay.

global warming. are we heading to a mini ice age era?

everybody have heard about the effects of global warming on planet earth. but in recent studies, many scientist explain that it is not the human being and his pollutants, what is affecting the planet. that only represents a small part. they make reference that what we are living on the planet right now is one of the many cycles of planet eart through its existence. because human life is too short, we do not stay on the planet too long to see its effects.

people everywhere should be concerned, but the clarion call is for the youngster to hear it.

some russian scientist has stated that the last mini ice age era was in the 1700's and people survived. they had a brutal winter in europe. even the thames river in london, partially frozen, but humanity knew how to keep on.

that is the lesson. humanity must take consciousness and prepare for a cold future, not a warm one.
