Answer:

Jing-mei discovered that she and her mother are so different and that she will not let her mother's expectations be what she becomes. Rather, she will be her own self and do the things she wanted to do.

This scene helped develop the theme of discovering and accepting one's true identity and accepting things even though they may not be what others expect and want to see.

Explanation:

Amy Tan's short story "Two Kinds," tells the story of Jing-mei and her mothers’ high hopes for her. But despite all the expectations, Jing-mei also struggled with accepting her own identity as a Chinese girl living in America.

Paragraph 15 of the story reveals the scene where Jing-mei 'discovered' her true self, looking in the mirror. She declares "I had new thoughts, willful thoughts - or rather, thoughts filled with lots of won'ts. I won't let her change me, I promised myself. I won't be what I'm not." This scene is the transition from her rejecting her mother's expectations of her and her decision to be true to herself and do what she wants. She also discovered that she truly hated what her mother wants for her and that they are two poles apart.

This scene helped develop the theme of discovering one's identity amidst what her family expects from her and the need to 'adhere' to certain expected rules.

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a literary device used to compare two things that aren't alike but do have something in common. Unlike the simile, which is a more direct comparison, the metaphor doesn't involve the use of words like and as. It states that something is something else.

In the given example, Keisha said that Terry is quite a butterfly. She doesn't literally mean that he is a butterfly. What she has in mind is that he is very social. People like Terry are often described as social butterflies.

Answer:

I believe the answer is 32, unless "bears" is "bars" in which then the total would be 35.

Explanation:

Well, you have 4 boxes with 8 bars in each. And if you are trying to find a way to count all of the bars, the easiest way to do that is through multiplication!

4 x 8 = 32

you can either do it with multiplication or you can do it by adding.

8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 32

Also, if "bears" is supposed to mean "bars", then you just add 3 to 32 which will give you 35!

Hope this helps you out.

Answer: Quantity of wisdom possessed

Explanation:

You included no options so the answer will be a bit general.

The Latin suffix -ity is used to describe the degree of the presence of the condition in the word that it is added to. For instance, the word profitable means the condition of making a gain from something. When the suffix -ity is added to it to make it profitability, the meaning changes to the amount of profit or gain that can be made from something.

In this case therefore, if sagacious means wise, sagacity would refer to the amount of wisdom possessed by the subject in question.

Answer:

Barack Obama was president of the United States from 2009 to 2017, being elected twice as a candidate for the Democratic Party.

During his government he carried out many changes regarding the foreign policy of the country with respect to the policies of his predecessor George W. Bush, especially with regard to the nuclear disarmament of nations that are not members of the UN Security Council, as well as its pacifist policies in the Middle East after the War on Terror carried out by the previous government. These policies earned him the recognition of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.

I think it can be a path that splits in two.

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

The town cannot actually be stubborn. You are giving lifelike qualities to unliving things.

Answer:

Most of the houses were made of brick and cement just like my home. At the end or the road that led out of the town in to the deep bush in the mountains was my house. Because the road also led directly in to the town, it was busy with people walking, riding their bikes and burros, and an old car now and then.

As soon as you turned in to my street, your eyes would be immediately swayed towards my house, not because it was beautiful but because of the huge metal door that opened in to what I consider the living room, this was the main entrance.

The door was the color of rust, it had beautiful designs made of twisted metal. It looked like a door that you would find at the entrance of an old cemetery or an old style mansion. The house was built on a high platform because when the rainy season started, the river next to the empty lot overflowed in to the roads and took everything on its path. A cement ramp was built right in front of the door, used to drive a car in to the house and momentarily convert the living room in to a garage. The house was built with brick and cement, it had four bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and, a back yard.

It was painted white and looked as if it was unfinished like many houses looked in town. On the outside of the house, there was a young lemon tree that yellowed with fruit and gave away a sweet aroma. Next to the tree there were some flower pots and wood that we used to fuel a mud and brick stove that we built in the back yard to use when we ran out of gas. Large cracks ran from corner to corner on the uneven walls of the house. Next to the big door was a door that led in to one of the bedrooms, this room was converted in to a small store, we sold canned and dry food and drinks, an unpainted wooden counter reeted the customers. Our small store always smelled as if you were walking in to a bakery because of the freshly made bread delivered every morning by the town’s baker. Across from the store was my bedroom which I shared with all of my sisters and mother. We all slept on a king-size bed even though there were two other queen beds in the bedroom. An old wooden armoire was used as a TV stand, the small TV was only one square foot, it was hard to see but we lived with it because we were not aware that there was any better.

On the wall that connected to the boys bedroom was a huge square shaped hole were a window was missing, this was used by all my siblings as a short cut in to each other’s bedrooms. We often got in trouble for jumping over the window. The fourth room was always kept locked, it was used as a guest room. We never bothered with it because it appeared to be haunted, we often heard chatter and laughter coming from this room, and it was reason enough to keep away. To this day I still wander if what took place there was real.
