How does Walker deal with race and gender in In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Any woman born with a great gift in the sixteenth century would certainly have gone crazed, shot herself, or ended her days in some lonely cottage outside the village, half witch, half wizard, feared and mocked at. For it needs little skill and psychology to be sure that a highly gifted girl who had tried to use her gift of poetry would have been so hindered and thwarted by contrary instincts that she must have lost her health and sanity to a certainty.

Write 10 sentences on why you should have an allowance

Answers

Answer:

Allowance must of course be made for his point of view, but less so perhaps than in the case of any other writer so intimately concerned.

From the early sketch I take a few passages which seem to me, without making very much allowance for difference in time, almost as good as anything she has written since:

From 1845 to 1848 Comte lived as best he could, as well as made his wife her allowance, on an income of 200 a year.

He felt that a distinction might be drawn between adults and those of tender years; and that allowance might be made for any one who recanted.

Berg took the opportunity to ask, with great politeness, whether, as was rumored, the allowance of forage money to captains of companies would be doubled.

The composition of the ash of true coal approximates to that of a fire-clay, allowance being made for lime, which may be present either as carbonate or sulphate, and for sulphuric acid.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The Government of the kingdom was terrible. The derogatory comments, the laws, the decisions were always awful. On the good side, the people of this Kingdom were not vulnerable to the decisions of the Government. They were intelligent. People were killed almost always, though. The kingdom was no longer peaceful like it used to be, there was slaughter in every corner. The King was astute, he knew what he was doing, he was a manipulator to all people.

We need to be more vigilant in our community recycling efforts so we can protect the beauty of our neighborhood. A Using the thesaurus entry, which word best replaces the underlined word without changing the overall meaning of the sentence?

A. careless
B. inattentive
C. mindful
D. negligent​

Answers

Answer:

C. Mindful

Explanation:

Option A - Carless means means your not giving thought or attention to actions which is basically the antonym of Vigilant.

Option B - Inattentive just means your not paying attention to something. but obviously if your keeping your neighborhood beautiful you want to pay attention to it

Option C- Mindful means to keep an open mind to the things around you. Basically being careful which could be used as a synonym to Vigilant which makes it the right answer

Option D - Negligent means to fail taking care of something a total opposite to being careful or mindful

which is why Mindful makes the most sense since the text says your trying to preseve the beauty of the neighborhood. Thank you for coming to my ted talk :D

was in second grade. I got to have so many precious experiences, and

Passage 2
Closing the Tall Oaks Arts Center is the best option for our city. While
the center has been a wonderful part of our history, its use has been
declining steadily for many years now. With an expanded arts program
in our public schools, local kids have been taking arts classes in
school instead of at the center, and most classes are now canceled
due to low enrollment. Furthermore, the building is now 83 years old,
and the inspection board has called for millions of dollars' worth of
repairs in order to make it safe.

Answers

Answer:

The word "premeditated" used by the author, indicates that the narrator is being very cautious as he navigates the fire escape.

Explanation:

The narrator of Open City by Teju Cole has found himself in an unenviable situation where he was locked out of the theater and had to use the fire escape to leave the building. However, the fire escape had very flimsy stairs so he had to be very careful and thing about his every step so as not to fall down and die.

Teju Cole was born in June 27, 1975. He is a Nigerian-American writer, photographer and art historian.

Correct option is C.

In Teju Cole's novel open City, the narrator finds himself in an unfortunate situation:  he is shut out of the theater and must exit via the fire escape. The fire escape, on the other hand, had very frail stairs, so he had to be very careful and think about every step to avoid falling down and dying.

Question 1 25 pts Which of the following best identifies the central idea of this text? Only Jews were persecuted during the Holocaust, and no one defended them because they felt it did not affect them. The Nazi party oppressed people who were different from them by forcing them into camps. O The Holocaust was motivated by prejudice and organized by the government. World War II was fought by Israel and Germany, who kept Jewish prisoners of war in horrible death camps.

Answers

Answer:

2nd or 3rd

Explanation:

The first statement is wrong. Homosexuals and gypsies were persecuted as well. The last one is also false, because Israel is a Jewish country and was founded AFTER the Holocaust, with the aim of providing a safe space for Jews.

I don't know which one of the middle ones are correct, but if your text directly mentions the Nazi party and details the camps, then the second one is correct. If your text is just about the Holocaust in general and briefly touches on the Nazi party, I would go with the 3rd option.

Authors often use examples to illustrate their main points in a public essay. How does Paine use past examples to develop his argument? Is this
effective in supporting the argument? Cite textual evidence to support your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Thomas Paine wrote pamphlets and tried to attract people in colonies to fight against the British.

Explanation:    

Thomas Paine played a vital role by publishing pamphlet named Common Sense. He wrote pamphlets that helped change in colonist behaviour that led to declaring independence against the British. His pamphlet Common Sense encouraged the colonists to think of the present situations. His pamphlets became the source for the colonists to come together as patriots to fight for their cause (independence). Common Sense arrived as a pamphlet in Philadelphia in 1776. The first print sold out quickly, and over thousands of copies sold in America and Europe. Pamphlet read aloud in public, even General Washington commanded it to read among troops.

Answer:

Paine references Joan of Arc as an example of overcoming the panic or fear, that comes with war. He states, “in the fourteenth [fifteenth] century the whole English army, after ravaging the kingdom of France, was driven back like men petrified with fear; and this brave exploit was performed by a few broken forces collected and headed by a woman, Joan of Arc.” Paine goes on to explain that fear can be overcome quickly and, in fact, influence unlikely people to rise to meet a challenge or opponent.
