Read this excerpt from "Life Without Go-Go Boots" by Barbara Kingsolver and answer the question.

We lived in the country, in the middle of an alfalfa field; we had no immediate access to Bobbie Brooks

sweaters. I went to school in the hand-me-downs of a cousin three years older. She had excellent fashion

sense, but during the three-year lag her every sleek outfit turned to a pumpkin.2 ... My black lace-up oxfords,

which my parents perceived to have orthopedic value, carried their own weight in the spectacle. I suspected

people noticed, and I knew it for sure on the day Billy Stamps announced to the lunch line, "Make way for the

Bride of Frankenstein."4

Which of the numbered sentences from the excerpt shows the most commentary and why?

1 - says something about family's social and economic status

2 - is about fairy tales

3- is about medical value of shoes

4- quotes popular culture

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 - says something about family's social and economic status

Explanation:

Sentence 1 situates us in relation to history. This is because it presents the family's financial situation, showing that they did not have enough money to buy clothes, needing donations from the family, that they donated low quality clothes and that evidenced the family's economic situation, causing embarrassing episodes to the narrator of the text , as Frankenstein's bride compares her on account of the ugly patched clothes and shoes.

Answer 2

Answer:

1 - says something about family's social and economic status

Verbal

Explanation:

I haven't read it but this was what I found online.

Words can do a better job of showing beauty than pictures.

Answers

Answer:

I disagree: the words you read are interpretations from the writer.  The writer is explaining the beauty THEY see through their OWN vocab.  When you look at a picture your brain tells you what is beautiful to you and you interpret the beauty in a picture in your own way.

Explanation:

Answer:

Agree

Explanation:

Words can sometimes be more beautiful than pictures because they can represent certain emotions and ideas presented by the writer or speaker. Words usually have many meanings yet all of these meanings come together to form a structure for an idea. Wheras pictures have a perspective type of approach, everyone can see something different within a picture unless it is generalized with a certain purpose.  So in relation to poems i hink agreeing would be your best answer.

Your next tablet should be the upcoming G2 tablet, which is hitting stores this Thursday. Tired of the slow, glitchy performance of your old, tired tablet? Sick of having to install update after update, patch after patch, only to deal with the same subpar performance? Frustrated with the lack of exciting, useful apps for your tablet? Treat yourself to the new G2 tablet, on sale Thursday at all A-Mart locations near you!

Passage 2:
The new G2 tablet is seven inches tall, five inches wide, and a half-inch thick. It uses the Roboto operating system, which will allow many popular apps and programs to run on the machine. Most people bring their G2 tablets on the train or bus and take advantage of the included Wi-Fi card. This convenient, portable, and useful device will help users run their lives while running their errands. The G2 tablet is available for purchase at A-Mart starting this Thursday.

Answers

Answer:

Passage 1 and passage 2 are similar because both passages are promoting the new G2 tablet, They're different because passage 1 talks about the cons of your old tablet while passage 2 only talks about the pros of the G2 tablet. The purpose of both passages are to promote/endorse the G2 tablet. Passage 1 uses supporting details by saying "tired of the slow, glitchy performance of your old, tired tablet? " and backs it up by using examples of the cons of your old tablet as supporting details. Passage 2 uses supporting details by saying ''This convenient, portable, and useful device will help users run their lives while running their errands." and backs that statement up by telling the reader the pros of the tablet using that as supporting details.

How would you convince your teacher to change your grade using pathos

Answers

Answer:

By appealing to their emotions.

Explanation:

Pathos is a term first introduced by Aristotle, who is often referred to as the father of rhetoric. It's also called the appeal to emotion and refers to using arguments to draw out certain emotions in the audience and through them get them to change their point of view.

If you wanted to convince your teacher to change your grade using pathos, you would have to tell a story that would make them feel compassion. For example, you could tell that you were ill and didn't feel well enough to study, ask them for another chance, and similar.

Describe the personal characteristics that makes Grendel an antagonist in Beowulf

Answers

Answer: I actually just ready Beowulf for my Brit Lit class :)

Explanation:

Grendel displays nothing but the most primitive human qualities in the original Beowulf epic. However, he is an intelligent and temperamental monster in Grendel, capable of logical thinking as well as unreasonable emotional outbursts. The monster Grendel also appears as human in the novel as the people he observes. This vague characterisation is reinforced by Grendel 's history. Grendel is pursued by the novel through three phases of his life. The first stage is his childhood, which he spends innocently, untroubled by the outside environment or existential concerns, exploring his confined world. His first exposure to the wider world is Grendel's exploration of the lake of firesnakes and the realm beyond it, one full of risk and possibility. As such, when Grendel moves into adulthood, crossing the lake is a critical step for him. When the bull hits him, the second step, which decisively makes Grendel an adult, happens, causing him to understand that the universe is basically unpredictable, follows no pattern and is ruled by no discernible cause. This realization, in turn, prompts the query that forms the adult quest of Grendel, perhaps the twentieth century's greatest philosophical query: given a world without inherent meaning, how should one live his or her life? Grendel attempts to address this question in the second, adult stage of his life by studying the human race, which fascinates him because of its capacity to create patterns and then enforce those patterns on the environment, generating a perception that a consistent, orderly structure is pursued by the environment. His deadly struggle with Beowulf and the weeks leading up to that war encompass the third and final stage of Grendel 's life. Ultimately, the experience gives a violent conclusion to Grendel 's quest.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Part 1

Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk, but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages; and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy, at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
"I incline to, Cain's heresy*," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way.'" In this character, it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel’s offering was accepted by God, but Cain’s was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, "Am I my brother’s keeper?" By saying this, Cain implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)

A "backward in sentiment"

EXT. RIVERBANK OF THE RIVER MOLDAU. – DAWN.

Rabbi Low slowly regains consciousness. He's not immediately sure where he is. He rubs the back of his head. He looks across at the spot where the Golem lay. It is gone.

He looks to his left and right. No Golem. He scrambles to his feet, moaning as he does so. He looks again. No Golem. He turns around and comes face to face with the Golem, standing without any emotion before him.

Rabbi Low screams in surprise and fear.

Based on this stage direction, readers should visualize the Golem as

not human.
not attractive.
not talkative.
not emotional.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is not emotional!

D on Unit Test

Explanation:

Based on this stage direction, readers should visualize the Golem as:

Option D

Not emotional

The Golem, as per Czech legend, was formed from mud and rejuvenated by a rabbi to shield Prague's sixteenth century ghetto from abuse, and is supposed to be called forward in the midst of emergency.

Exactly as expected, he is indeed encountering a recovery and, in this business age, has generated a one-beast industry.

The most established accounts of golems date to early Judaism. In the Talmud, Adam was at first made as a golem when his residue was worked into an indistinguishable husk.

Like Adam, all golems are made from mud by those near godlikeness, however no anthropogenic golem is completely human.

The actual golem is exceptionally frightening, and the locations of savagery are stunning. This is a connecting with blood and gore flick rather than a stunner, however it gets creepier and more captivating as the show unfurls. Golem sets a norm for authentic repulsiveness.

In one sense, we were huddled in there, bonded togethher in seeking security and warmth and comfort from each other, and we didn't know it. All of us—who might have probed space, or cured cancer, or built industries—were, instead, black victims of the white man's American social system. What did Malcolm mean when he said this?

Answers

Answer:

By this quote, Malcolm X suggests that whether they realize and accept it or not, the black people of Harlem are and will always be victims of a politically influenced white American society.

Explanation:

In his "The Autobiography of Malcolm X", Malcolm X in conversation with Alex Haley delves into his life, childhood, and becoming a human rights activist, especially for the black African-Americans facing racism. The book gives an insight into the life of the famous world of Malcolm X.

The given passage is from Chapter VI of the book titled "Detroit Red". This passage reveals the sad reality of the people of Harlem. Malcolm admits "we were huddled in there, bonded together in seeking security and warmth and comfort from each other" while it also became unintentionally that they were "black victims of the white man's American social system." The political reality is that even though they may feel like they owned the streets of Harlem, their act of coming into the 'safety and homely' nightclub make sit evident that they are still victims of oppression under the whites.

So, by this very statement, Malcolm seems to suggest and verify that they are victims of racism, and that it is not because of what they did but more of how the American political system makes it seem so.
