Read the passage from "Two Kinds." And I started to play. It was so beautiful. I was so caught up in how lovely I looked that at first I didn’t worry how I would sound. So it was a surprise to me when I hit the first wrong note and I realized something didn’t sound quite right. And then I hit another and another followed that. A chill started at the top of my head and began to trickle down. Yet I couldn’t stop playing, as though my hands were bewitched. I kept thinking my fingers would adjust themselves back, like a train switching to the right track. I played this strange jumble through two repeats, the sour notes staying with me all the way to the end. How is this passage an example of an internal conflict?

Answers

Answer 1

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

How is this passage an example of an internal conflict?

a. It describes the narrator's inability to stop playing when  she wants to do so.

b. It describes the narrator's unexpected enjoyment of  performing in front of an audience.

c. It describes the narrator's thoughts and feelings as she  struggles through a poor performance.

d. It describes the results of the narrator's refusal to  practice diligently and learn to play the piano correctly.

Answer:

The passage is an example of an internal conflict because:

c. It describes the narrator's thoughts and feelings as she  struggles through a poor performance.

Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by Amy Tan. The main character is June, Suyuan's daughter. June is expected to become a child prodigy by her mother. However, she is determined to not work hard, to not apply herself. The conflicts with her mother lead June to decide that she will remain mediocre for the rest of her life.

Even though she had been taking piano lessons, June was not really taking them seriously. When the time for her first presentation comes, her performance is a fiasco. We get to experience all of her internal conflict as she describes her feelings when she is struggling. June is excited at first. She does enjoy receiving attention. However, that feeling does not last long. Her lack of discipline takes its toll, and June makes several mistakes throughout the performance. She is now frightened and embarrassed, but unable to stop playing. She knows the outcome that awaits her is filled with shame and judgment from the audience and, especially, from her own mother.

Grandpa Frank walked down the street and sat down for his interview. Then, the boss’s daughter walked out and sat in front of him. “What’s your name?” She asked. “Frank, and yourself?” He replied. “Grace, nice to meet you.” She smiled. Grandpa Frank was already noticing how beautiful the girl was. He wanted the job just to talk to her. The interview went on and Grandpa Frank went home until he was called a few days later being told he got the job! He was so excited & quickly went to work the next morning. Everyday he worked; Grace would talk to him at his lunch break. It was their own little dates. A few years later the car wash was shutting down due to going bankrupt.

With a little thought, any city dweller can think of an area of land on which to grow a garden. D. Urban gardeners use these roofs to construct large planters for vegetables, grass, trees, and shrubs.

Answers

Answer:

A. They also help the environment by refreshing the air and by reducing smog and effects to the ozone layer.

Explanation:

The author makes a claim that environment is refreshing by the air and the effects on ozone layer are reduced. This statement is not supported by the evidence. The ozone layer is polluted by the environment pollution. The pollution created by humans is also affecting the air which ultimately pollutes the ozone layer.

The answer would be "This means that irrigation for crops is not a problem." It wasn't that easy, nor did he have proof.

Jack used primarily web sources for his informative speech about gun control. However, his over-reliance on the website sponsored by the National Rifle Association caused his speech to be slanted in one direction, rather than presenting multiple sides of the issue. Which of the six criteria for evaluating web sources did Jack ignore

Answers

Answer:  Objectivity/Bias is the major criterion that he missed.  

Explanation:  Many websites published by organizations will promote that organization's agenda or political viewpoint on the topic. The NRA is not in favor of gun control, and it promotes gun ownership as a 2nd Amendment right.

In order to balance his information and present alternate points of view, he could find sources with the opposite bias, or find statistics from studies done by unbiased sources, such as statistics reported on state or national government sites.

Authority/Credibility is another criterion to check. Can the source be trusted to provide the sources of its information: studies done by other credible, unbiased authors, Can the information be verified by finding similar information on other sites or in reputable publications?

The graph represents recorded temperatures in Greenland from 1961-1990. Analyse the representation and write a paragraph in 150 words .

Answers

Answer:

Greenland is the largest island in the world, and most of it is located above the artic circle. For this reason, Greenland is characterized by a very cold climate. The coastal areas have a tundra climate, while most of the hinterland has an ice cap climate.

We can see in the graph that the average high temperature in the warmest months hovers around 45F, still a very cool temperature.

In the coldest months the daily high is 20F and the average low is 12F, meaning that these months are very cold throughout the day, with very little difference between the coldest moment of the day and the hottest moment of the day.  

The climate is much warmer along the coasts due to the moderating oceanic influence. This is why the totality of the population of the Island lives on the coasts. The rest of the island is an ice cap: the largest of the world behind Antarctica.

How did learning about varied artists and poets contribute to my understanding of the Harlem Renaissance

Answers

Answer:

Arts and poetry are crucial components of the Halem Renaissance. for instance, Sterling A. Brown, Claude Mckay etc were popular poets of the Halem Renaissance while Archibald J. Motley, Palmer C. Hayden were popular artist of the Halem Renaissance.

Explanation:

Halem Renaissance, was an intellectual movement as well as an African-American artistic movement during the 1920s which influenced the nation and the world at large.

The point of veiw in "Was it a Dream?"  is in first person, the main character acts as the narrator, giving the whole thing in direct speech.The story begins with him saying " I loved her madly". If it was in a different point of veiw you would know what is going on all around you not just with one person. You would know someone elses point of veiw on how things happened. You would possibly figure out more information on whats going on.

The understanding would change if there was a different point of veiw by not knowing what the main character now is thinking. We wouldn't even know what is going on with our main character now. We would possibly have more questions on what is going on?
