adapted from The Underdogs
by Mariano Azuela

Some men on horseback rode up, shouting and sweating; two of them dismounted, while the other hung back to watch the horses.
"We want food! Give us eggs, milk, beans, anything you've got! We're starving!"
The speaker wore chevrons on his arm, his companion red stripes on his shoulders.
"Whose place is this, old woman? Of course it's not empty. How about the light and that child there? Look here, confound it, we want to eat, and quick too. We’re coming in."
"Tell me what they call this ranch, woman?" the sergeant asked.
"Limon," the woman replied curtly, carrying wood to the fire and fanning the coals.

How does the setting influence characterization in the text?

A.
The setting causes the characters to endure cold temperatures.
B.
The setting causes the characters to have difficulty riding the horses.
C.
The setting causes the characters to have difficulty finding food.
D.
The setting causes the characters to use overly polite manners.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C.  The setting causes the characters to have difficulty finding food.

Explanation:

The setting infers that the characters in question are looking for food to eat. First the men who came in on horseback ask for food and say they are starving which means that they have had difficulty finding food.

Then the notice that the ranch may not have food as well when they say that there is no way the place can be empty and lacking of food seeing as there was a child there. This means that the woman herself wants food so the setting is such that the characters seem to all have difficulty in finding food.

Dust of Snow
by Robert Frost

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

Soft Snow
by William Blake

I walked abroad in a snowy day;
I asked the soft snow with me to play;
She played and she melted in all her prime,
And the winter called it a dreadful crime.

Compare or contrast the form of the two poems above. Remember that the form of poetry includes the rhythm, meter, rhyme scheme, and any poetic devices. What do you notice about the form of each poem? How does the form of each poem affect the reader? Write a well-developed paragraph using examples from the poems.

Answers

Mark Brainliest please

Answer:

Robert Frosts poems are quite simple, dealing with everyday situations and emotions, yet taking them to another level of exploration. He looks at aspects of nature and then converts them into symbols to use in his poems, thus making them completely relevant to our everyday lives and easy to make sense of.

Dust of Snow has as its main themes:

communication between nature and humans.
nature healing and helping with negative human emotions.
the significance of small natural events

Dust of Snow with its short neat form, rhyming lines and rhythmic beat is simplicity itself. It reflects the rather bleak, minimalist imagery.

There's the speaker, the man, under a tree. It's probably winter, there's snow on the tree, an evergreen pine called a hemlock, and a crow has happened to send some snow dust down on the man.

Whether it falls on to his head or down his neck is unknown because it's not really relevant to the poem. What is important is the way that crow makes it happen, but once again, the reader is left to imagine the bird's specific action.

Whether it be the crow preening, merely shaking, flying off, or landing, or readjusting its feet on a branch, somehow a light dusting of snow is the result, and it lands on the speaker.

Choose 2-3 anime characters that remind you of the main characters (Steve, Charlie, Les Goodman, Pete Van Horn) in The Monsters are Due on Maple Street. Write a paragraph for each anime character telling readers why you chose them and how they are like a certain character in the play. Remember, you must be descriptive! give a picture of your anime character.

Answers

Answer:

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street

(not sure whether you’re supposed to put an introduction paragraph so ill just cut to the information)

In The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street, Steve Brand is the main person to control the mob and act calmly in their situation. In addition to being open minded, listening to Tommy in the beginning of the story and continuing to listen to others' claims, he has a calming influence that puts everyone at bay for most of the story. Another character that is known for being a strong leader and handling situations efficiently is Tōshirō Hitsugaya. Tōshirō Hitsugaya is a fictional character from Tite Kubo's manga and anime series Bleach. Hitsugaya is a captain of the Gotei 13's 10th division or squad, a group of Soul Reapers that oversee the flow of souls and protect Soul Society, an afterlife realm, in the anime. Toshiro has a very mature and headstrong personality. He is a leader who believes in hard work and handling situations properly and efficiently, much like Steve Brand. This leads me to believe that they have similar character dynamics.

The second character I will be discussing is Charlie. Charlie is a very paranoid character who is very quick to point fingers and accuse people of being the imposter among them. The anime character that reminds me of Charlie is Seiya Ryuuguuin, from the anime Cautious Hero. Seiya’s entire character dynamic is that he is cautious and paranoid about every situation. Like Charlie, he is quick to look at a situation and becomes paranoid of it, most of the time over preparing and thinking of every possible outcome. Charlie, everytime something peculiar happened in the neighborhood, immediately came to the worst conclusion, that they were the imposter. As a result, seeing that paranoid personality immediately reminded me of the main heroine of Cautious Hero, Seiya Ryuuguuin.
