How do the descriptions in this passage support Tan's
purpose?
Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked
the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table,
dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert
and their family waited patiently for platters to be passed
to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my
mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert
grimaced. Then my father poked his chopsticks just
below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. "Amy,
your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek.
I wanted to disappear.

example of compound ideas​

Answers

Answer:

Compound ideas, although derived from experience, are formed by the mind by combining simple ideas, so the mind acquires an active role in the production of such compound ideas (such as ideas of beauty, gratitude, universe, etc.).

Explanation:

The understanding selects several ideas, gathers and associates them and ends up synthesizing them into a compound idea of a higher level than the original ones.

The most abstract, more elaborate ideas such as the notion of beauty, eternity, infinity, etc. They are compound ideas (this always according to Locke who was the creator of the differentiation between simple ideas and complex ideas).

[BRUTUS.] Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar,
I have not known when his affections swayed
More than his reason. But &lquo;tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend. So Caesar may.
Then lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel
Will bear no colour for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
Would run to these and these extremities;
And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg
Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous,
And kill him in the shell.

Dear Sir/ Madam Editor

Subject; deforestation

With worm regards to whom it's may concern, my name is Maria a student of _______ school. I am writing this letter to draw attention to the increasing and alarming rate at which our forest are being pulled down. This action otherwise known as deforestation is the removal of trees from a particular area for a particular purpose. My village is a very small one , and the only thing that protect it especially during the rainy season is the forest which as I write you this letter is experienced a decrease. Forestation has so many advantages, such as prevention of erosion, provision of habitats for wild life, creation of tourist attractions and so much more.

However, with the removal of the little forest that our people have been preserving for years will only endanger the people. In that as forestation has its own advantages, deforestation has its own disadvantages. These includes, leaving room for erosion. As a result of deforestation the land is left bare and there are no trees to stop heavy flood waters from entering the little village. Killing and extinction of some wild life inhabitants, low cost of living and so much more.

As this is a major challenge to our village. I hereby write this letter to you so that through the medium of your newspaper we will be able to reach the necessary authorities and the necessary actions to save our forests and little village will be taken.

Yours faithfully.
