Answer 12

yeah but not a cat

Answer 13

you can use any five words?

Answer 14

yess

Answer 15

what class is this for? the reason I ask is that the Malady can be looked at as the absolute meaning.. like a sickness or what not.. but I think what they want here for for Murlock Malady.. meaning .. why was Murlock so miserable.

Answer 16

or why was his condition so undesirable.

Answer 17

i really don't know :( i think there talking about his wife though?

Answer 18

i am a math major.. so i apologize. But with the wife, it says nothing about her condition, except that she had a fever and that she was delirious. it said that there was no physician for miles.. and that her husband couldnt go out for help so for 3 days she sat there sick and then died

Answer 19

screwed.. there is a word that comes to mind.

Answer 20

also, that is a lot of words you need to describe such a small part of the story - i mean the wife.

Answer 21

but how is the guy sick?

Answer 22

sick is just the main sense of the word. Malady can also mean any undesirable condition. For the irony of the story...

Answer 23

One example is that the frontiersman mistakes his wife's illness for death and in the process of preparing her body for a morning burial, he inadvertently bring about her actual death. (Specifically, he ties her hand with ribbon and lays her prone body near an open window where she is attacked and killed by a mountain lion during the night).

Answer 24

so what do you think I should put?

Answer 25

im really trying to think of words to describe the irony

Answer 26

Unfortunate

Answer 27

regretful

Answer 28

im sorry im bad at this. i just like writing... :) thus why i came here

Answer 29

its okay thanks for helping me

Answer 30

Murlocks Malady was that his wife died. thats what made him miserable.

Answer 31

for this should i put words about his wife? 4. Give four words from the text which support the character is ailing.(

Answer 32

probably the main character as well? I know the part where is supports that he is ailing.. but i cannot put it into 4 single words. Something besides years had had a hand in his aging.

Answer 33

lackluster eyes

Answer 34

here are 4 words from the text that support teh wife is ailing - wife prostrate with fever

Answer 35

wow i sound like and idiot :) sorry for wasting your time.
