Reread lines 141-172 to draw conclusions about the author’s attitude clothing when he was a teenager. What does he mean when he says ""l worked like a magician""?

Answers

Answer:

The story "One Last Time" describes the life of a young man who goes by the name Gary Soto. Gary was born into a poor family, most of his family members were all labourers who worked all day in the field.

The workers spend all day working under the hot sun, their main job is to pick fruits that have just been harvested. At the end of each day's work they are paid a small amount of money which is never enough to buy the things that they really need.

When he was still a teenager, Gary was greatly troubled about the type of clothes he wears, this is because he felt that the people in the town might look down on him due to the haggard clothes he was fond of putting on.

According to the passage when he says " I worked like a magician" he is trying to create a false impression that he has lots of good clothes packed in his bags when in reality he doesn't have any.

In at least 100 words, discuss whether or not Chang succeeds in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China. Explain why you feel he does or does not succeed.

Answers

chang did not succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving china. chang did not discuss his life in china much, and the narrator focuses on his stay in a new place, his family settling in after escaped war and where he came from.

Chang doesn't succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China. My argument is that; he speaks very little about his life in China by only describing his relationship with his dad in a few lines. The only memories that he carries are those of his father carrying him in his shoulders after supper.

The narrator is more focused on his stay in the new village his family settled in after escaping the war and speaks little about where he came from. This way, he does not succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China.

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. To institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to most likely affect their safety and happiness.

Read the passage from “The Monkey’s Paw.” The Whites are being offered compensation for Herbert’s death. In what way does the stranger’s answer increase the tension of the rising action? From “The Monkey’s Paw” The [visitor] coughed, and rising, walked slowly to the window. “The firm wished me to convey their sincere sympathy with you in your great loss,” he said, without looking round. “I beg that you will understand I am only their servant and merely obeying orders.” There was no reply; the old woman’s face was white, her eyes staring, and her breath inaudible; on the husband’s face was a look such as his friend the sergeant might have carried into his first action. “I was to say that Maw and Meggins disclaim all responsibility,” continued the other. “They admit no liability at all, but in consideration of your son’s services, they wish to present you with a certain sum as compensation.” Mr. White dropped his wife’s hand, and rising to his feet, gazed with a look of horror at his visitor. His dry lips shaped the words, “How much?” “Two hundred pounds,” was the answer. Unconscious of his wife’s shriek, the old man smiled faintly, put out his hands like a sightless man, and dropped, a senseless heap, to the floor. The answer satisfies the first wish, and there are still two wishes left. The answer causes the wife to shriek. The answer causes Mr. White to faint. The answer indicates that Herbert has doubts about the wish.

"I silently counted on my fingers: twenty-eight days until the end of September, then on into October until the first frost."
"Grandfather stayed silent until we approached a limping man dressed in dark rags, pushing a cart."

Answers

The correct answer is B. "Andrew Brown's print shop smelled of ink and grease and the sweat of muscular apprentices carrying trays of lead type from the composing table to the printing press."

Explanation:

The novel Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson, focuses on telling the story of a female character called Matilda who faces multiple challenges as the yellow fever epidemic reached Philadelphia in 1793. This story includes some historical facts and it is told by the main character Matilda, which makes the story a first-person narration.

An example of these two features can be seen in the excerpt "Andrew Brown's print shop smelled of ink and grease and the sweat of muscular apprentices carrying trays of lead type from the composing table to the printing press" because, in this, Matilda describes the print shop of Andrew Brown who was a real writer and reported that opened a shop or publishing house in Philadelphia in 1793. This means the author included a historical fact by focusing on the real-life and influence of Andrew Brown.
