Why does Rachel say that she will be Esperanza's friend for five dollars and why does Esperanza agree to do it?

The House on Mango Street

Answers

Answer:

In The House on Mango Street, Esperanza is hanging out with her neighborhood friend Cathy who offended Esperanza by suggesting that the neighborhood was getting bad because people like Esperanza and her family were moving in.

Whilst they were together, a girl named Rachel walked up to them and offers to be Esperanza's friend if Esperanza would give her five dollars for her and her sister to buy a second-hand bicycle.

Esperanza agrees over Cathy's objections because she figured that getting 2 new friends and partial ownership of a bicycle for $5 was a good deal.

Consider:

Art is the antidote that can call us back from the edge of numbness, restoring the ability to feel for another. — Barbara Kingsolver, High Tide in Tucson


1. By using the word antidote, what does the author imply about the inability to feel for another?


2. If we changed the word antidote to gift, what effect would it have on the meaning of the sentence?

Answers

Answer:

1. The author implies that the inability to feel for another is a sickness and its remedy or cure is Art.

2. Changing the word antidote to gift would make art seem like an endowment or talent rather that can prove helpful to him.

Explanation:

An antidote is a remedy for a disease. It is like a medicine that can be used to cure an ailment. When the author said that art is an antidote that can restore our inability to feel for another, it implies that the inability to feel for another is like a disease whose remedy can only be art.

Changing the word antidote to 'gift' makes us see art as a privilege bestowed on a person that can serve a useful purpose for him.

I often ask my dad who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards, with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal black cat, Max.

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

You almost always have to put a comma after the word however for a better flow of reading. Having a comma after the word loyal makes the sentence feel un-natural to read. So that comma should be removed. The rest of the options just made the correct sentences grammatically incorrect, which is why D is the best option.

Given that Lilliput represents Britain and Blefuscu represents France in Gulliver's Travels, what does the Lilliputian official's description of Blefuscu as "the other great empire of the universe" suggest? a a. Britain has too high an opinion of France and its military. b b. Britain sees itself and France as rival superpowers. c c. France and Britain are strong allies. d d. France is the greater country of the two.

Answers

Answer:

The Lilliputian official's description of Blefuscu as "the other great empire of the universe" suggests:

b. Britain sees itself and France as rival superpowers.

Explanation:

We can easily break the quote down: To the official, there are only two great empires. One of them is Lilliput, the other one is Blefuscu. Since Lilliput represents Britain, we can see how the author, Jonathan Swift, is using this quote to criticize Britain's narrow view of the world. They do not think of other countries as great. And the only other country whose greatness they acknowledge is precisely the one they consider their enemy. To Britain, France is its rival in being the world's superpower. Of course, since it could not be different, Lilliput and Blefuscu are enemies in the story.

The novel "Gulliver's Travels" is a satire of society written by Jonathan Swift. By describing the fictitious countries and societies where Gulliver ends up during his voyages, the author criticizes human nature and its nitpicking.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the passage from Part 1 of "To Build a Fire."

The dog dropped in again at his heels, with a tail drooping discouragement, as the man swung along the creek bed. The furrow of the old sled trail was plainly visible, but a dozen inches of snow covered the marks of the last runners. In a month no man had come up or down that silent creek. The man held steadily on.

This description allows readers to visualize the dog's physical appearance. the desolation of the trail. the appearance of a dogsled. the man's facial expressions.

Answer:

the desolation of the trail.

Explanation:

The excerpt shown in the question above shows how the man and the dog are in a difficult situation on the trail. They are weak, tired and the trail seems to hinder their path. The narration shows how the scenario, in this case, the trail, emits a certain oppression in the characters, showing a tone of desolation, hopelessness and defeat. With this, the narration manages to create visual images in the reader, which are able to demonstrate the desolation of the track and how it affects the characters.

Based on the following excerpt from O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi,” which statement about Della is most likely true?

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it.

A.
Della is upset because her house is in shabby condition for Christmas.
B.
Della is angry at herself for lying to the butcher to save some extra money.
C.
Della is ashamed because she cheated the local vegetable man out of money.
D.
Della is sad because she doesn’t have enough money to buy Christmas presents.

Random acts of kindness are unplanned, sporadic acts intended to show generosity to other people or the wider world. In 1982, Anne Herbert wrote the words "practice random kindness but also senseless acts of beauty" on a placemat near Sausalito, California.

Everyone can live in a brighter world by performing acts of kindness. They can increase feelings of assurance, mastery, joy, and optimism. Additionally, by encouraging everyone else to carry out all the good deeds they have previously performed, they may improve the community.

By reducing stress and boosting the body's production of more feel-good hormones like dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin when we act kindly toward others or ourselves, we can experience beneficial mental and physical improvements.

Hence, option D is correct.
