How does “My Mom, the Himalayan Mountain Climber" develop the theme that difficult events can have a positive impact? Be sure to use evidence from the text to support your response. ​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It develops this theme by showing that when the writer's mom came to the United States, surviving was difficult but over the years she gained a lot of experience that made her become better.

Explanation:

The writer noted some difficult times in the life of her mother when they initially came to America, such as living in a small and dirty house. She persevered and worked hard to start her own dry cleaning business. Today, she has given her children the opportunity to acquire an education in America which would secure their future. She is also more experienced.

Just as a young inexperienced Himalayan climber finds the way up difficult, and surviving through the snowstorms and difficulties eventually gives him a beautiful view, so did the Korean mother start up her journey in America as a frail, naive, and determined person but eventually survived through the hard times to become an accomplished and experienced woman.

How does the poet’s reference to the portrayal of love in films and songs contribute to the poem’s meaning

Answers

This question is about the poem "What Love Isn't"

Answer:

They contribute by showing that lived love is very different from assisted or heard love.

Explanation:

The poem shows that experiencing love is completely different from everything we watch or hear, especially in relation to the films, because the films show an easy love, where everything is resolved quickly with happiness and joy. However, in real life, love goes through very difficult trials that can often overcome love.

Music on the other hand, has a more realistic view of love, but also idealized and very particular to the singer and composer. Since, each person has a different experience on how to love.

0Explain what William's father meant when he said, "But this is not going to be forever . . . There's gonna come a day when this won't be anymore." Answer

Answers

Answer:

William's father meant that the hatred, segregation and prejudice they experienced in the hands of the white people will not continue forever but there will be a day when they will not experience it again; it will be a time when the white people will no longer segregate.

Explanation:

From A Tale Of Segregation, William Minner remembered how his dad was humiliated and treated when they wanted to get water. The white people prevented his father from fetching water. They decided that William's father must wait until all the white people have taken theirs. William's father had to wait until the white people fetched their water. Then he said to his son, "But this is not going to be forever . . . There's gonna come a day when this won't be anymore."

can someone please give me a few paragraphs or facts on the Christchurch earthquake that happened in new zealand in 2011 please? i need it for my essay thats due at the end of this week! thanks x

Answers


Hope this helps!! Please mark me as brainliest!!



On 22 February 2011, at 12:51 pm (lunchtime), Christchurch was struck by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake. The quake was centred 10km south-east of the city at a depth of 5km. 185 people died, 164 people were seriously injured and there was major, widespread damage.

What happened?
On 22 February 2011, at 12:51 pm, Christchurch was struck by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake. The quake was centred 10km south-east of the city at a depth of 5km. In the ten minutes after it hit, there were 10 aftershocks of magnitude 4 or more.

Water pipes, roads, bridges, power lines, cell phone towers and ordinary phone lines were broken or damaged.

As had happened after the 4 September 2010 quake, there was a lot of liquefaction. Liquefaction happens when underground water in the soil comes to the surface. Thick muddy slush spreads everywhere, causing buildings and other structures to sink into the ground. Many roads, footpaths, schools and houses were flooded with silt.

There was a lot of confusion and panic, especially in the centre of the city. People were desperately trying to contact their friends and families, and to get back home. The phone lines and roads almost immediately became jammed.

Right after the earthquake, a lot of people left Christchurch. Small towns in the South Island welcomed many people from Christchurch. School kids were allowed to go to the schools at the places they were staying. Many people left for only a short while, but others chose to leave for good.

Injuries and fatalities
185 people died and many thousands were injured as a result of the earthquake. 164 people were seriously injured.

Most of the victims were killed in two large building collapses: 115 people died when the six-storey Canterbury Television (CTV) building in Madras Street collapsed, and 18 people died when the 4-storey Pyne Gould Corporation (PGC) building in Cambridge Terrace collapsed. Rescue crews worked around the clock at both locations to dig out trapped people.

169 people died in the Central City and 16 people died in other parts of Christchurch.

Rescue crews from all over the world came to help. There were crews from Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Taiwan, Australia and other countries.

About the earthquake
The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3 on the Richter scale. It was felt all over the South Island and in the lower part of the North Island.

The fault that caused the quake cannot be seen from the surface, but it runs about 6 km south of the city centre. Land around the fault, in the Port Hills, in Cashmere and in the seaside suburbs, rose, fell and slid.

Even though the February 2011 earthquake was smaller in magnitude than the September 2010 earthquake, its impact was much greater. The September earthquake happened at night, when most people were at home asleep. This meant that even though some large buildings collapsed, few people were nearby them when they were damaged. The February earthquake was also much more disastrous because there was a very high ‘ground acceleration’. Ground acceleration measures how much and how fast the ground (and things on it like buildings and natural features) moves during an earthquake. Some of the reasons why ground acceleration was so high in the February earthquake were the large amount of energy that the fault line released, the way the land under Christchurch was formed and how near Christchurch was to the fault. Also, the February earthquake was much shallower (closer to the surface) than the September one and it was closer to the city.

Earthquake damage
Many stone and brick buildings in Christchurch were damaged. Up to 100,000 buildings were damaged and about 10,000 buildings needed to be demolished.

Christchurch was divided into four zones after the earthquake. The land in the Green Zone was undamaged and could be built on again. In the Orange Zone more checks were needed before the land could be be built on. The White Zone was the area that had not been checked at all yet. The land in some parts of the city was very unstable: building on it safely will be difficult. These areas are called the Red Zone.

The water and sewage pipes were badly damaged. Many people needed to use portable or chemical toilets, and got their water from tankers for months after the quake.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

"love helps people overcome adversity" can be used everywhere

Among all the one that will be considered as an example of a universal theme is: “Love helps people overcome adversity.” Hence, Option C is correct.

What is the meaning of adversity?

The noun adversity, which has been used in English for more than 800 years, is derived from the Latin adversus, which means literally "turned against" and figuratively "hostile or unfavourable."

Adversity occurs when circumstances or a string of bad luck seem to be in opposition. It can help us grow in strength and resiliency, learn fresh views and talents, and become more appreciative of what one already have.

According to research, those who have experienced major difficulty in their life typically achieve greater success than those who have not. Mischance, misfortune, and mishap are a few typical synonyms for adversity.

Therefore, Option C is correct.
