question 1.

"Two Kinds" is, at its most fundamental level, a story about the difference between what a parent wants for her child and what that child wants for herself.


TRUE OR FALSE


Question 2

The story "Two Kinds" is written from a third-person perspective.


TRUE OF FALSE

Answers

Answer:

1. TRUE

2. FALSE

Explanation:

"Two Kinds" is a short story by Amy Tan. The story is narrated from a first-person perspective by the main character, June. She is the daughter of Suyuan, a Chinese immigrant living in America.

At its most fundamental level, the story revolves around the conflict between mother and daughter. Suyuan expects June to be a child prodigy, no matter in which field - singing, dancing, mathematics, acting, playing the piano. June, on the other hand, quickly decides that she does not want to be a prodigy at all, but would rather be mediocre. And that is what she does, her whole life. Thus, the conflict is basically between what the mother wants for her daughter, and what the daughter wants for herself.

What inference can be drawn based on this excerpt from Friedan's "The Problem That Has No Name"? Men did not like for their wives to be intelligent. The dormitories built by the colleges often remained empty. Women were happy to drop out of school and stay at home. Men did not sacrifice their education for marriage as women did.

Answers

Answer: Women were happy to drop out of school and stay at home.

Explanation:

The excerpt talks about women in the fifties and their attitude towards marriage and higher education. In those times, there was a very high emphasis on marriage which is why most women (60%) were happy to drop out of college to get married.

Some dropped out because they didn't think that being too educated would be good for their marriage chances and even the ones that pursued further education, still stayed with their husbands.

Describe the killing of the sow. What are some words used to describe how the sow is feeling? The boys? What do the hunters do with her body? Her head? Why?

Answers

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

In Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, Jack and his new tribe go on a savage frenzy to hunt and kill a sow. They go after a bunch of piglets and kill one of them, after chasing it through the forest. Jack is the one that leads the hunt.

Explanation:

While the words used to describe what the sow must be feeling are those of terror and exhaustion, such as frantic, terror, terrified, and collapsed, the ones used to describe what the boys feel are words of excitement and rush, such as rushed, fiercely and excited.

After the killing, the boys sharpen a stick at both ends, placing one end to stick into the ground and the other to stick into the head of the killed pig. This is how they leave the head as an offering or gift for what they call "the beast". The body of the sow they use to make a pig roast.

"Mooring refers to lassoing, tethering, tying, or otherwise securing your boat to a fixed object, such as a mooring buoy, rather than dropping an anchor to secure your vessel anywhere you fancy. You can moor your boat to a mooring buoy, dock, quay, wharf, jetty, or pier"

Answers

Answer:

He is humiliated by his defeat

Explanation:

Using the system of elimination you can cross out a few answers. He is not eager to confront his son because of the way it was written. He is not carrying his belongings because if you read a little bit further on his belongings had been taking by his son (the badgers). This would leave you with either him being exhausted by his struggle or being humiliated by his defeat. They both made sense to me but I think he was humiliated because he was confident about continuing to hunt them even though he was warned.

Identify the phrases AND what type of phrase. Juan was writing his paper, while his sleeping dog napped by his feet.

Answers

Answer:

The phrase "Juan was writing his paper" is a Noun Phrase, in addition to being an independent clause. The phrase "while his sleeping dog napped by his feet" is a Conjunctional Phrase, in addition to being a dependent clause. The two sentences together form a complex sentence.

Explanation:

A complete sentence is one that has a dependent clause and an independent clause. Dependent clauses are those that cannot emit meaning alone and need to be complemented by the independent clause, which is the one that has meaning alone.

In the sentence shown above, "Juan was writing his paper" is the independent clause and can also be considered a Noun Phrase, which are phrases that are established around a single noun that is the subject of the sentence, in this case, the noun is the word "Juan."

The "while his sleeping dog napped by his feet" clause is a dependent clause and is a Conjunctional Phrase that are phrases that always start with a conjunction. The word "while" is a subordinate conjunction, as it is able to link a dependent clause to an independent clause.

She picked up her veil and danced with glee, then stopped in the middle of the room and began to whisper to the veil: "You black shroud, you know how I despise you and make use of you to keep him apart from me! I don't care about you and I feel nothing for you. I defy you. But I love you too. These poor girls take refuge behind you in order to preserve their virginity, and their honour, and good morals. If they were more truthful they would say that they love you because you hide faults and scandals.
