Answer:
Characterization is the way in which authors convey information about their characters. Characterization can be direct, as when an author tells readers what a character is like (e.g. "George was cunning and greedy.") or indirect, as when an author shows what a character is like by portraying his or her actions, speech, or thoughts (eg. "On the crowded subway, George slipped his hand into the man's coat pocket and withdrew the wallet, undetected."). Descriptions of a character's appearance, behavior, interests, way of speaking, and other mannerisms are all part of characterization. For stories written in the first-person point of view, the narrator's voice, or way of telling the story, is essential to his or her characterization.

Explanation:

Racing to Race
Carlo stopped to rest for a minute and tried to catch his breath. He’d been running for so long that he had pains in his side and his legs were beginning to hurt. He hunched over and tried to expand his lungs, but it was like trying to suck air out of a bicycle tire. His body was too exhausted to even allow him to take a deep breath, and he started to wheeze again.
“Great,” he thought, “let me just add asthma to my expanding list of ailments. I can’t believe that I can’t even jog two miles without completely collapsing!” He finally gave in to his aching body and laid down on the grass to recuperate. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine himself running on the school track in the 1,600-meter race. He pictured himself running steadily toward the finish line, running effortlessly like a cheetah in the jungle. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even hear Meiya approach.
“Hey sleepyhead, what are you doing napping on Sean’s lawn in the middle of the day?” Meiya asked playfully.
Carlo quickly sat up, breathing normally now and feeling a little embarrassed. “I am trying to get in shape to try out for track, but I can’t even run two miles,” he said dejectedly.
“Wait, how many months are you out of surgery? Didn’t you just finish rehab last week?” Meiya asked. “You can’t expect to run two miles the first day.”
It had been six months since Carlo’s surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didn’t come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.
“Since when did you get so smart, Dr. Meiya?” he teased. “Do you want to race to the next mailbox?”
“You’re on!” she challenged and took off running at full speed.

3. What are possible consequences of destroying, hiding or stealing U.S. mail?
Answer:
Explanati1. Destroy private records and statements. Tear up – or, if you prefer, shred – credit cards statements, solicitations, and other documents that contain private financial information.
2. Secure your mail. Empty you mailbox quickly, lock it or get a P.O. box so criminals don’t have a chance to snatch credit card pitches. Never mail outgoing bill payments and checks from home. They can be stolen from your mailbox and the payee’s name erased with solvents. Mail them from the post office or another secure location.
3. Safeguard your Social Security number. Never carry your card with you, or any other card that may have your number, like a health insurance card. Don’t put your number on your checks. It’s the primary target for identity thieves because it gives them access to your credit report and bank accounts.
4. Don’t leave a paper trail. Never leave ATM, credit card or gas station receipts behind.
5. Never let your credit card out of your sight. Worried about credit card skimming? Always keep an eye on your card or, when that’s not possible, pay with cash.
6. Know who you’re dealing with. Whenever anyone contacts you asking for private identity or financial information, make no response other than to find out who they are, what company they represent and the reason for the call. If you think the request is legitimate, contact the company yourself and confirm what you were told before revealing any of your personal data.
7. Take your name off marketers’ hit lists. In addition to the national Do-Not-Call registry , you can also cut down on junk mail and opt out of credit card solicitations.
8. Be more defensive with personal information. Ask salespeople and other if information such as Social Security or driver’s license number is absolutely necessary. Ask anyone who does require your Social Security number about their privacy policy and that you do not want your information given to anyone else.on.

Explanation:
How does Angelou's comment about the liberal woman from Texas identify the immediate audience for her essay?
Answer:
By commenting that the "WHITE woman from Texas [. . . who was] a liberal" asked about her hometown, Maya Angelou presents us with the realization that the essay/ short story's intended audience is those white people who put themselves superior to the 'blacks' and the apparent disparity between the two.
Explanation:
Maya Angelou's short narrative story "My Name Is Margaret" is about the author's experience while staying with the Cullinan family. The short story revolves around her experience living as a black woman amidst the prejudice prevalent under racism.
On the very first lines of the first paragraph of the section, Maya Angelou started her story with the lines "RECENTLY A WHITE woman from Texas, who would quickly describe herself as a liberal, asked me about my hometown." With the emphasis on the words "RECENTLY A WHITE", she brings the focus on the 'race' of the woman. Added to that, she pointed out that she was "a liberal", from Texas. Considering the America of her time, it can be immediately inferred that this southern state of America will be under prejudicial discrimination against the blacks, thus confirming the intended audience as the white people who think themselves superior to the blacks while the blacks 'involuntarily' identify themselves as the lower race.

What is a survival theme in Chapter 4 of Enriques Journey?
Answer:
In April 2000, Enrique approaches Veracruz, about a third of the way up Mexico in the state of Oaxaca. Many migrants around him thank God for making it this far, and pray for help and protection as the train passes a statue of Jesus. Even though the migrants must keep their possessions to a minimum, many carry Bibles as one of their few belongings. In them, they record the names, phone numbers, and addresses of their loved family members. But Enrique does not ask for help from God, believing that he has committed too many sins to be heard.

It is perhaps Flowers for Algernon?
Explanation: Flowers for Algernon is the title of a science fiction short story and a novel by American writer Daniel Keyes but it does not consider any newspaper article.

"Sonnet: To Liberty" Sonnet: To Liberty (1796) by Mary Robinson Oh! Liberty! transcendent
and sublime! Born on the mountain's solitary crest; Nature thy nurse, thy fire unconquered
Time, Truth, the pure inmate of thy glowing breast! 5 Oft dost thou wander by the billowy deep,
Scattering the sands that bind the level shore, Or, towering, brave the desolating roar That bids
the tyrant tempest lash the steep! 'Tis thine, when sanguinary demons lour, 10 Amidst the
thickening hosts to force thy way; To quell the minions of oppressive power, And shame the
vaunting nothings of a day! Still shall the human mind thy name adore, Till chaos reigns and
worlds shall be no more!
28 Write an essay that analyzes in detail how the speaker's view of liberty is portrayed in
the poem. Use evidence from the poem to support your response.
Answer: The poem above shows freedom as something natural that exists in our world as a force of nature. However, like the forces of nature, freedom can have devastating and violent effects capable of suppressing those who oppose its objectives and purposes.
When freedom shows its strength and its fury, those who need it tend to be frightened and reject its performance. However, when freedom withdraws and its dominance and violence diminishes, the world goes into chaos and threatens its very existence, causing those who have rejected freedom to call for their action again.
Therefore, the poem shows how freedom is powerful, strong, influential and can have violent and devastating effects, but it is necessary and impossible to live without it.
