What are the "other truths" that must be confronted? How do these "truths" complicate the idea of a melting pot?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The other truth that must be confronted is that New Orleans  was known to be America's largest slave market. At this place, hundreds of thousands of souls were bought and sold. They were also shipped up the Mississippi River. Many of them were tortured, forced into hard labor and raped.  Thousands were lynched and freedom fighters were beaten. These truths complicate the idea of melting pot because the atrocities that were committed are a dent on the history of America, especially New Orleans despite the fact that New Orleans is a city of many nations, a melting pot.

Explanation:

The speaker, Mitch Landrieu, a mayor of New Orleans made the speech during the removal of Confederate monuments. He reiterated that the truth about the atrocities that were committed in New Orleans must be confronted. He revealed that despite the melting pot, certain things took place in history which should be remembered and not swept under the carpet like it never happened.

When the short days of winter came, dusk fell before we had well eaten our dinners. When we met in the street the houses had grown

somber. The space of sky above us was the color of ever-changing violet and towards it the lamps of the street lifted their feeble lanterns. The

cold air stung us and we played till our bodies glowed. Our shouts echoed in the silent street. The career of our play brought us through the

dark muddy lanes behind the houses, where we ran the gauntlet of the rough tribes from the cottages, to the back doors of the dark dripping

gardens where odors arose from the ashpits, to the dark odorous stables where a coachman smoothed and combed the horse or shook

music from the buckled harness.

What is the difference between a simile and a metaphor

How different two compared things are

How strongly two thins are being compared

Answers

Answer:

How strongly two things are being compared

Explanation:

Both simile and metaphor are figures of speech used to compare two different, unrelated, things that share some kind of quality. However, there is a difference. The simile uses words like and as, while the metaphor omits them, stating that something is something else. This is why we can say that the metaphor is a stronger type of comparison.

2. b. scanning

3. a. skimming

4. b. scan

5. a. skimming

6. c. carefully read

Explanation:

Skimming and scanning are reading techniques we use to quickly find the information we need within a piece of writing. We use skimming for general information. For example, if we need to find out what an entire paragraph is about in a short time, we will use skimming. Scanning is used for specific details. If we needed to find a particular piece of information in the same paragraph, we would scan the paragraph.

However, there are instances when these techniques can't or shouldn't be used. Sometimes, we need to read a text carefully. For example, students should pay attention to all information their tests contain. If they miss some details, they could choose the wrong answers.

THE MARTIAN: Throughout the story, the Martian says that Mrs. LaFarge knows what he is and that the other townspeople, when they encounter the Martian, know what he is. Why do you think the people do not care and want the Martian anyway, even though they know that what they are seeing and experiencing is not real?

Answers

Answer:

The people, even after knowing that what they are seeing and experiencing is not real, wanted the Martian because they all saw in him that one person who was mostly in their minds.

Explanation:

'The Martian Chronicles' is a Sci-Fi written by Ray Bradbury, of dystopian living of human on planet Mars, after nuclear war attacks on planet Earth.

In the account dated September 2005/2036, the novel chronicles about the life of LaFarge and his wife Anna, who lost their son Tom on Earth. One thunderstorming night, a figure like Tom appears on their door. LaFarge soon learns that he is not Tom, but a Martian, who has the ability of shape-shifting. Even after everyone in the town learned about 'the Martian', of who he is, they still wanted him because they all saw in him that person, who was mostly in their minds. For instance, the Martian appeared to be Tom, the dead son of LaFarge and Anna; and lost daughter Lavinia to Spaulding family; to some he appeared criminal, etc.

They wanted to have the Martian because they did not want to lose that person who was mostly on their minds once again.

What are the ""agencies"" to which Carson refers (para. 33)? Why are they reduced to ""so- called control agencies""?

Answers

Answer:

1. the state and federal agencies;

2. because they are ignorant of the effects of the chemicals.

Explanation:

1. The context of her statements shows she was referring to the state and federal agencies who were mandated and overzealous about getting rid of insects they deemed harmful. She said,

"The crusade to create a chemically sterile, insect free world seems to have engendered a fanatic  zeal on the part of many specialists and most of  the so-called control agencies," she clarified who she was referring to when she said, "The  most flagrant abuses go unchecked in both state  and federal agencies."

2. By calling them "control agencies" Carson was revealing that they (the state and federal agencies) were as she put it, "wholly ignorant of their  potentials for harm." That is, they were ignorant of the harmful effects that those chemicals which they advocated for had on the environment. All they knew and were concerned about was to control insects.
