which statement its true about a oral tradition

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy. "May I ask why? Or is this something else that wasn't intended to embarrass the new minister?" "Because I wanted to know if it was true." "If what was true?" "If Lizzie was lying to me. If all she wanted to do was to get me on her side so she wouldn't have to leave the island." Reverend Buckminster sighed. "It doesn't matter if it's true. It matters what people think. It matters that my congregation can tell me what to think when my son goes out to visit a Negro girl on Malaga Island. It doesn't matter at all how she got you out there." "It matters to me," Turner whispered. "Speak up!" Based on the dialogue between Turner and his father, what conclusion can be drawn about Reverend Buckminster? He believes that his son cannot be trusted. He cares greatly about the opinions of others. He feels that Lizzie will be a bad influence. He dislikes everyone living on Malaga Island.

Which statement best explains why Orwell used fable, allegory, and satire to write Animal Farm?


He did not want his readers to take the story too seriously and believed that using animals would achieve this purpose.

He was afraid that British readers would be offended if he mentioned the Soviet Union specifically, so he chose to write an allegory.

He wanted to portray the Soviet Union as an oppressive, totalitarian regime, and he wanted to make the connections clear and obvious.

He wanted to reach a wider audience by addressing the themes of oppression, suffering, and injustice without explicitly referring to current events.

1 I ain't no valedictorian. I'll give you that. But I'm certainly not the loser my step-father Johnnie likes to think I am, either. Mr. oh-so-famous local Johnnie Pipehead of "Johnnie on the Spot Plumbing." (Real clever name, huh?) Just because he only took the requisite twelve years to make it through school and graduate from his alma mater, and I took slightly longer, that doesn't make me a loser. So what if I took "the road less traveled by" and added a one-year, scenic detour to my journey--thanks to Algebra, Physical Science, and well...Latin. Did I mention Chemistry? Let's just say I liked Latin but Latin didn't much care for me. Just because I took thirteen years in all to get out of Melancholy High with a diploma doesn't make me some loser. Being nothing at all, now THAT would make me a loser.

2 I am something. But what I am, and what I'll be, are two countries at war at present. Battles, I've had them. Many battles. Literal ones...figurative ones...too many. Figurative language...see there? At least I did learn a few somethings in Mr. J's English class.

3 I could've been the valedictorian. Of somewhere. Of some school that had a bunch of unmotivated kids like me. Then, maybe I would have gone to those Physical Science study halls. Maybe I would have actually done my homework in Mr. Pugnacious' class. Real name, Pugliese. Wrestling coach. Don't you just love that moniker? For a wrestling coach...Pugnacious. Funny stuff, huh? Made that up. It stuck. Guy's got a bulldog face but a little tail-wagging personality. Had everything but the panting. And the drool. Too much caffeine I suppose. Too happy. Loved his math, that Pugnacious.

Read the passage.

Bul-GO!-gi

“Can you chop the scallions?”

Seo-Jun didn't look away from his smartphone to reply to his mother’s request. He was busy texting Vince Cordova about a new show they were planning to binge watch Friday night.

“Seo. . . . Seo!”

“What?”

“What do you mean, 'What’? I need you to chop the scallions.” It was 11:30 a.m., and the Town Pavilion—the office building Ji-Suk's food truck Bul-GO!-gi was parked outside of—was about to unleash a stampede of customers. “I have to get this beef marinating, otherwise in a half hour I'm going to lose a bunch of hungry tax consultants to the chicken and waffle guys across street.”

Seo-Jun smiled, but Ji-Suk couldn't see his eyes from under his royal blue cap. Then she realized he was still looking at his phone, which he was concealing below his knees as his fingers tapped the screen.

“Hey!” She threw a kitchen towel at him, and it unfurled in midair and landed on his head, draping itself over the brim of his cap.

“Okay, okay, I'll do it.”

Ji-Suk had made a name for herself in Kansas City, especially after a local magazine wrote a big cover story when she left her job as an attorney at a law firm after seven years to start a food truck business. If her own mother had still been alive, she would have been quite upset with Ji-Suk for that. Her mother had spent years learning to speak relatively good English, and she’d been determined to make sure Ji-Suk graduated from a respectable college and became a lawyer. Even though she'd made Ji-Suk take Korean lessons every Saturday morning followed by violin lessons in the afternoon—and cooked kimchi and other Korean delicacies with her at least once a week—Ji-Suk's mother had wanted her to succeed by American standards.

And she had. She'd become a lawyer, just like her mother wanted, but she'd also learned to love burnt end barbecue, a local culinary favorite. She was an avid fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. She even loved playing softball; she had a wickedly fast windmill pitch, having played throughout college and graduate school and on the law firm's recreational team. Ji-Suk had succeeded by American standards in ways her mother couldn't have imagined, and in ways her mother probably didn't want, but Ji-Suk couldn't do anything about that. She was American, just as much as she was Korean, and even though her mother wouldn't have wanted her to do it, starting the food truck was Ji-Suk's way of honoring her mother and showing that she valued what her mother had taught her.

Still, she was determined not to force Seo-Jun to do the things her mother had forced her to do. He wouldn't have to take violin lessons, nor would he have to learn Korean. She was more than willing to let him take Korean lessons if he showed any interest, but he never did.

She wasn't sure, however, whether she was doing the right thing, as Seo-Jun didn't seem to want to play sports, nor did he have any serious hobbies. He got by in school, but he didn’t apply himself. He was mostly interested in his friends. She hadn't been any different at his age, and she would have spent most of her time with her friends, too, but her mother would never have allowed it.

Seo-Jun finished chopping a stalk of scallions and put down his knife in order to glance at his phone. “Hey Mom, Vince has to do something with his family on Friday night. He asked if we can hang out right now. Would it be okay if I headed over there now?”

“Sure.”

He tried to read his mother's face, but she just carried on marinating the meat. He grabbed his backpack and threw it over one of his shoulders. Then he headed out the back door of the truck.

He looked back at her serving her first guest. She was smiling, but it was a distant smile. Without saying a word, he climbed back into the food truck.

Ji-Suk glanced over but still didn't say a word.

He picked up his knife and a handful of scallions and started chopping.

Walt Whitman song to self what does word atom mean

The poet repeats the word still in the seventh line of most stanzas. Which theme does this repetition most clearly convey?

Often I think of the beautiful town
That is seated by the sea;
Often in thought go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear old town
5 And my youth comes back to me.
And a verse of a Lapland song
Is haunting my memory still:
"A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts."

10 I can see the shadowy lines of its trees,
And catch, in sudden gleams,
The sheen of the far surrounding seas,
And islands that were the Hesperides
Of all my boyish dreams.
15 And the burden of that old song,
It murmurs and whispers still:
"A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts."

I remember the black wharves and the slips,
20 And the sea tides tossing free;
And Spanish sai
