Read these excerpts from a passage. When I saw my grandmother ordering gardening supplies online, it struck me that the days of brick-and-mortar shops might be doomed. Not that my grandmother is a dinosaur, mind you. She is a wizard with the remote, uses social media to stay in touch with her friends, and sends text messages with ease. However, she is certainly not of a generation that grew up with computers or the Internet.
Her purchase got me thinking about the early days of online shopping, when people were anxious about ordering merchandise from the Internet. What if the items never arrived? Was putting all my personal information online safe? Should I really disclose my credit card information to some unknown entity? Is this online company legitimate? And last but not least, who would buy something without seeing it first? But my grandmother’s transaction made it clear: online shopping has become as commonplace as brushing your teeth.

Which three parts of this passage from chapter 6 of emily brontë's wuthering heights show that hindley earnshaw did not care about the well-being of catherine and heathcliff after the death of mr. earnshaw? they both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages; the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved, and what they did, so they kept clear of him. he would not even have seen after their going to church on sundays, only joseph and the curate reprimanded his carelessness when they absented themselves; and that reminded him to order heathcliff a flogging, and catherine a fast from dinner or supper. but it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at. the curate might set as many chapters as he for catherine to get by heart, and joseph might thrash heathcliff till his arm ached; they forgot everything the minute they were together again: at least the minute they had contrived some naughty plan of revenge; and many a time i’ve cried to myself to watch them growing more reckless daily, and i not daring to speak a syllable, for fear of losing the small power i still retained over the unfriended creatures. one sunday evening, it chanced that they were banished from the sitting-room, for making a noise, or a light offence of the kind; and when i went to call them to supper, i could discover them nowhere. we searched the house, above and below, and the yard and stables; they were invisible: and, at last, hindley in a passion told us to bolt the doors, and swore nobody should let them in that night. the household went to bed; and i, too, anxious to lie down, opened my lattice and put my head out to hearken, though it rained: determined to admit them in spite of the prohibition, should they return.
