read the passage and answer the given question below

The house I grew up in was crowded. I had to share a bedroom with my three brothers and two of my cousins. In total, there were 13 of us in the same house. And that made it feel like I was constantly surrounded.
During the fall, winter, and spring, I would leave the house for an even more crowded school. We had a minimum of 30 students in each class, and two students had to share a locker. Then, I’d catch a bus home with 60 other students. There was hardly a second in a day that I was not in a swarm of people, unfortunately. Being somewhat shy by nature, crowds did not agree with me.
That’s why I loved the summer so much. In summer, I did not have to go to school, and I also did not have to stay home. Instead, I could go out anywhere in the city and find time alone.
My brothers and cousins would usually go someplace to play with 10 or 11 other kids. Not me. My favorite place to go in the summer was the park. It would be crowded, of course, but I could always find a place to sit by myself.
I would enter the park from the west side and make my way as deep into it as I could get. There, in the middle of the park, I could always find a bench isolated from the others. Or a tree that was so shaded as to create a sort of nook for me to hide in. Or even a spot on the grass in the middle of a wide field but hundreds of feet away from the nearest person.
There, in those spots, I would get lost in the pages of a novel or book of poetry. It was in those summers that I first learned to love the written word. And I know that had I not been able to find that solitude in the middle of the bustling crowds, I would not be the man I am today. For I would not have ever discovered the joys of reading, and with them, the joys of writing.
To read is to connect with another person. And yet it is a connection one must make in private and isolation. So without isolation, ironically, for me there would have been no community.


1. Juxtaposition is defined as the placement of two concepts that are parallel to each other in order to highlight the contrast between the two of them. Which concepts does the narrator primarily juxtapose in the passage?

a) having one’s own house and sharing it with a family
b) being surrounded by people and being alone
c) summertime and wintertime
d) the joys of reading and the joys of writing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Juxtaposition is meant to show a contrasting effect. Throughout the passage, the narrator shows that he is constantly surrounded by a crowd of people. However, he likes to spend his time alone and by himself.

A) You know, your golf shoes are, like, kind of dorky. I mean, seriously.
B) Your golf shoes are kind of dorky. I mean, seriously.
C) Your golf shoes are dorky. Seriously.

Answers

Answer----(B) Your golf shoes are kind of dorky.I mean,seriously

The correct way to transcribe the sentence according to the Clean Verbatim Style Guide is "Your golf shoes are dorky. Seriously".

Clean Verbatim simply means that erroneous words and fillers will be removed and proper spellings should be used.

In this case, words like "uh", "kinda", "sort of", "like" etc are removed. Also, "because" should not be written as "cos" and interjections that are made by the person such as "hmmm", "yeah" should be removed.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

In a five-paragraph literary analysis essay, explain how each author develops the common theme. Compare and contrast how the authors develop this theme by referencing specific literary devices and techniques in your response.

"Response to Executive Order 9066"

"Mericans

Answers

Hi. Your question asks for a literary analysis of the texts "Response to Executive Order 9066" and "Mericans." In this analysis, you must show your perception of the themes covered in the text, the techniques used by the authors and the way in which these themes are developed.

As an analysis is your personal perception of the text, I cannot do this analysis for you, but I can show you how to do it.

Firstly, it is important that you read the texts and identify the topics covered. In general, both texts address the lives of foreigners, mestizos and people of different ethnicities in America. However, these themes are approached in very different ways. In "Response to Executive Order 9066" the author discusses how racism, discrimination and the existence of stereotypes with foreigners or descendants affect people's lives.

In this story, we meet an Nipo-American girl who is unfairly accused by her friend, a white American girl. The entire charge is based on racism and xenophobia. The author of this text, however, approaches this issue with delicacy, showing that although xenphobia is painful and present in the country, there is hope that it will be overcome through love and tolerance among people.

"Mericans" also addresses the experience of foreigners in America. The author addresses the life of Mexicans, who when living in America, begin to abandon their native customs, which are suppressed by American customs, although these people are not considered Americans by society. In this book, the author addresses themes such as acculturation and cultural identification.

After reading these two texts, you should write down your perceptions of how these themes are worked throughout the text and organize a five-paragraph essay that should be done as follows:

1st paragraph: This paragraph will be the introduction, where you will briefly present the two texts and present your position in relation to them, that is, you will briefly and objectively present your opinion about them. This will be your thesis statement.2nd Paragraph: Here you can present your insights into "Response to Executive Order 9066." In this paragraph you will show what you think of the theme, how this theme is worked, how the author reinforces this theme and the types of reflection it causes.3rd paragraph: Here you will present your perceptions of "Mericans" and show how the themes are covered, their perceptions and how the author works on these themes to provoke reflection in the readers.4th paragraph: In this paragraph, you will show how these two works are similar and different, even if they approach similar themes and can be easily related.5th paragraph: Here you will complete the text and show how these issues are presented in real life and how they can be solved, leaving society a much better place.

Answer:

The two authors use different ways of expressing a similar theme. Dwight Okita and Sandra Cisneros both present a common theme of race, culture, and ethnic background. Overall in their stories, they each get to the theme in a different way while getting a clear theme across. In, "Response to Executive Order 9066." the overall theme is racism and prejudices. The fourteen-year-old girl has a best friend who one day makes a racist and prejudice comment to her. The comment being, ""You’re trying to start a war,” she said, “giving secrets away to the Enemy, Why can’t you keep your big mouth shut?”". This comment made the fourteen year old girl shocked and left with no words. The author shows how the fourteen-year-old girl's best friend is being prejudice and  takes offense by the fourteen-year-old girl. For example, when the fourteen-year-old girl walked in her Geography classroom, her friend was no longer sitting next to her. In the text it states, "I saw Denise today in Geography class. She was sitting on the other side of the room." Overall, the author shows that the theme is racism by using prejudices of racist comments. In, "Mericans" the overall theme is race, culture, and ethnic background. The story talks about siblings who are at church with their grandmother not paying attention in mass. The children don't understand why the grandmother is so mean yet she still prays for everyone, living or passed. The author tells us this by saying, "The awful grandmother knits the names of the dead and the living into one long prayer fringed with the grandchildren born in that barbaric country with its barbaric ways." The grandmother doesn't like that the children don't understand and appreciate their culture. When the grandmother sends them outside for not paying attention, a woman calls one of the children over to take a photo in Spanish. When one child speaks English, the woman speaking Spanish says, “But you speak English!” to which the brother replied “Yeah,” my brother says, “we’re Mericans.” The children don't practice their culture or even pay attention to it. Overall, the author shows the theme is culture, ethnic background, and race in many ways. Both authors use the theme of race, culture, and ethnic background in many ways. Both authors use a short narrative to tall their stories. While they are talking about different races, they are also talking about ethnic background in different ways. In Sandra Cisneros's story “Mericans”, they are forgetting the ways of their culture and what it should mean to them. Instead of practicing their culture, they are picking up the ways of this country culture. Whereas in, “In Response to Executive Order 9066: All Americans of Japanese Descent Must Report to Relocation Centers”, the fourteen-year-old girl is being blamed and judged for her ethnic background and culture. Overall, both authors show how the characters are forgetting their cultural practices and being judged or looked at differently for their culture. Overall, both authors tell stories of issues that are presented in real life. Authors showed how this affect people and why. While using race, culture, and ethnic background, the authors created a theme that has a large meaning in our everyday lives.

According to sentence 4, Elon Musk's ideas would sometimes seem strange to others. This fact allows us to infer something: that he was sometimes criticized for his ideas. And why is that? People tend to criticize things they find odd or they simply do not understand. Therefore, sentence 4 is the option that best supports the inference.
