Read this excerpt from "Poor Harold.”
A room in Washington Square South. By the light of a candle, a young man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table. A clock within strikes seven.
A door at the back opens, and a young woman looks in, sleepily. She frowns. The young man looks up guiltily.
SHE. What are you doing?
HE. (innocently) Writing.
SHE. So I see. (She comes in, and sits down. It may be remarked that a woman's morning appearance, in dishabille, is a severe test of both looks and character; she passes that test triumphantly. She looks at the young man, and asks) – Poetry?
HE. (hesitatingly) No. . . .
SHE. (continues to look inquiry).
HE. (finally) A letter. . . .
SHE. (inflexibly) – To whom?
HE. (defiantly) To my wife!
SHE. Oh! That's all right. I thought perhaps you were writing to your father.
HE. (bitterly) My father! Why should I write to my father? Isn't it enough that I have broken his heart and brought disgrace upon him in his old age –
SHE. Disgrace? Nonsense! Anybody might be named as a co-respondent in a divorce case.
HE. Not in Evanston, Illinois. Not when you are the local feature of a notorious Chicago scandal. Not when your letters to the lady are published in the newspapers. – Oh, those letters!
SHE. Were they such incriminating letters, Harold?
HAROLD. Incriminating? How can you ask that, Isabel? They were perfectly innocent letters, such as any gentleman poet might write to any lady poetess. How was I to know that a rather plain-featured woman I sat next to at a Poetry Dinner in Chicago was conducting a dozen love-affairs? How was I to know that my expressions of literary regard would look like love-letters to her long-suffering husband? That's the irony of it: I'm perfectly blameless.
Which of Harold's character traits is revealed using direct characterization?
youth
innocence
defiance
bitterness
Answer:
A. Youth
Explanation:
Characterization is a process of giving traits and personality to a character by the author. There are two types of characterization: direct and indirect.
Direct characterization is, as the name suggests, when the author directly states the character's traits.
Indirect characterization is when character's traits and personality need to be infered from his actions, words, manner of speaking etc.
Here, the question is to find which Harold's characteristic is revealed using DIRECT characterization.
That can be seen from "By the light of a candle, a YOUNG man in tousled hair and dressing gown is writing furiously at a little table."
The author directly and precisely states that Harold is a young man.
Answer:
A. Youth Is the correct answer you are looking for

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
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.

Read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. Choose the text that describes Helen’s perspective of being touched.
At first, when my teacher told me about a new thing I asked very few questions. My ideas were vague, and my vocabulary was inadequate; but as my knowledge of things grew, and I learned more and more words, my field of inquiry broadened, and I would return again and again to the same subject, eager for further information. Sometimes a new word revived an image that some earlier experience had engraved on my brain.
I remember the morning that I first asked the meaning of the word, "love." This was before I knew many words. I had found a few early violets in the garden and brought them to my teacher. She tried to kiss me: but at that time I did not like to have any one kiss me except my mother. Miss Sullivan put her arm gently round me and spelled into my hand, "I love Helen."
A: At first, when my teacher told me about a new thing I asked very few questions

Answer:
I think it would be John-tyler binfet
Explanation:
John-Tyler Binfet is the person quoted in the article who would MOST LIKELY agree with the idea that people can learn to be kind for their own sake by first getting rewards for acts of kindness. Hence, option D is appropriate.
What is the Act of Kindness?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.

Narrative Essay on The Topic “if I had a Time machine” in 200 words, in Five paragraphs.
plz... help me Brainly masters
Time is potent, we all heard since our childhood. Time, like a grain of sand, slips out of our hands and we only keep gazing it hunting for the tactics to combat the glissading precious moments of ours. The moments and opportunities we hold most dear, with time, just like the sand in the hourglass, skid away. We only are, then, left with the regrets of not grasping the opportunities, despondently craving for the one single chance to swish back in time and fix the deeds for our deepest regrets.
I, for once, think of going back to the past when our ancestors lived in a world of fresh and pure air to inhale without fearing for their lungs to struggle with smoke and tar. How lucky, I ponder, were they to have the fresh and glistening water from the river so clear to reflect their face. No wonder our ancestors were much robust and healthy than our generation today.
With no access to motor vehicles, speed trains, a giant bird resembling planes but much faster and escalators, our forefathers were bound to lift their feet to move. Unlike today, they had plenty trees to purify the air they breathed in, no chemical factories to corrupt nature with fumes and rivers with chemicals. They experienced the balanced atmosphere and moderate rainfall to witness the waving crops in the fields. The green paddies filled the heart with joy and rejoice the mind.
But to unearth what’s ahead in life and change it if it’s unsatisfactory is in the human gene. And this ethos of the DNA squeezes me to peek into the hidden future. To discover what’s ahead, to find what the world would be like, to uncover if humans are more devilish or more matured. I would definitely love to see what I am up to and how successful I am in the future.
Time is a mystery and meddling with it could result in severe consequences. No less than a boon it will be, to see what the world will advance to. But daring to play with it could result in the conclusion of the human race, in fact, the entire planet. It is fully justified to say that meddling with time can decimate the entire history of the ecosystem.
Life and time are the best teachers a human will ever meet. And it is prudent to learn what it teaches us. Several attempts have been made to travel back and forth in time to change the history and conquer humanity. But whenever humans took a step out of bounds, time made them realize their limits. It proved who is supreme and who is down.
