Anyone familiar with Daughter of Invention story? English help please. Thank you! It has to do with the story "Daughter of invention" .PART A: Which TWO statements describe the main themes of the story?

Answers

Answer:

The two statements which describe the main themes of the story are:

A. The freedom to express oneself is valued by many, but some people discourage it and fear its consequences.

D. Creativity and creation can bring great joy.

Explanation:

"Daughter of Invention" is a short story by J.ulia Alvarez. The narrator is a girl who has been chosen to give a speech in front of her teachers and classmates. The creation of the speech brings her great joy. She fills inspired, energized by the words she has chosen and the message she is going to convey. She speaks of independence, of students surpassing their masters.

Her father, upon reading the speech, has an extreme reaction. He tears it to pieces and tells her she is being insubordinate. The narrator's father has lived through a dictatorship. He knows very well the consequences of speaking one's mind - he has lost loved ones because of that. Thus, he discourages freedom of speech, afraid of the consequences it may bring.

Note: I had to type J.ulia with a period because otherwise Brainly won't let me post this answer. For some reason, certain words are interpreted as curse words or as links.

summary of on his blindness by john milton

Answers

Explanation:

Poem Summary

Many people are familiar with the story of Ludwig Van Beethoven. This man, in spite of being deaf, managed to become a world-renowned composer. What a terrible fate: to have the sense most integral to your art be taken away from you. Similar is the story of John Milton, an English poet, who, by 1655 at age 48, was blind. His ability to write was threatened and, as a result, his relationship with God became complicated.

In On His Blindness, Milton is struggling to understand what God expects of him now that he is losing his sight. He's upset about wasting 'that one Talent which is death to hide' (line 3), which is a biblical reference to the parable of the talents (Matthew 25: 14-30), in which two people invest their talents (in the story, 'talents' are money), while another just hides his talent in a hole and is punished. Milton feels that God expects him to use his talent for writing poetry in a way that honors Him.

Milton is frustrated that his lack of sight is preventing him from serving God when he wants to so badly:

...Though my Soul more bent

To serve therewith my Maker, and present

My true account... (lines 4-6)

Milton's 'true account' refers to his religious poetry. Much of his poetry was concerned with God's relationship to mankind and he considered it a serious duty to write poetry that simultaneously made God's mysterious ways more clear to people and honored God with its craft.

At line 7, Milton wonders if God still expects him to keep writing without his sight, then decides that God is more forgiving than he was giving him credit for, Surely, knowing of his condition and strong desire to please Him, God wouldn't expect anything that he couldn't possibly accomplish, nor would he punish him.

The last half of the poem has a calmer tone. It's almost like Milton realizes that while he's writing that people can serve God in many different ways. It's the intent and the grace with which one deals with hardship that counts
