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 1

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.

"I have so worked upon my imagination as really to believe that about the whole mansion and domain there hung an atmosphere peculiar to themselves and their immediate vicinity--an atmosphere which had no affinity with the air of heaven, but which had reeked up from the decayed trees, and the gray walls, and the silent tarn---a pestilent and mystic vapor, dull, sluggish, faintly discernible, and leaden hued." Which vocabulary word below BEST describes the mood of the sentence above?

Answers

Answer:

Hello. You did not enter the answer options, however when reading the text, we can perceive a depressing, uncomfortable and frightening mood.

Explanation:

The text shown above describes the scenario in a very depressing, frightening and uncomfortable way. The scenario does not cause excitement in the reader, but it causes bad feelings like a certain anguish and a little fear for the sinister atmosphere and without expression of happiness. This is the mood that the text promotes and the intention is to get the reader into that mood with the exposure of many adjectives that promote a mental image in the reader and explore feelings about the mood of the text.

Freedom of speech: You might write about whether schools should have the right to limit what is discussed or covered in a student newspaper or a student news broadcast. (There is a Supreme Court ruling stating that school officials cannot censor student expression unless there is reasonable proof that such expression can disrupt school activities.)

Answers

Answer:

Schools should not limit what is discussed and correct in a student newspaper or news.

Explanation:

We live in a country with press freedom. This means that no institution has the freedom to limit any news provided in a newspaper or news, even if these news outlets are student and submissive to school.

The right to press freedom is defended in the first constitutional amendment and there is no amendment that states that this right does not include the press, which means that, legally, schools cannot limit what is discussed or covered in a newspaper or student news, running the risk of being indicted on the basis of the first constitutional amendment, if you refuse to obey it.

How did the soldiers know where the franks and van Daan's were hiding

Answers

Answer:

For decades suspicion centred on a man called Willem Van Maaren, who worked in the warehouse attached to the Franks' hiding place. But two police investigations - one immediately after the war and another in the 1960s - turned up nothing and Van Maaren died in 1971 professing his innocence.

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.
