‘Silky’ Bob was a criminal wanted in Chicago. Yet, he came to the appointed

Answer:

Silky Bob's decision to come to the appointed place to meet Jimmy Wells seems to suggest that he is a loyal friend. But as we read on further, we came to the realization that he is a proud criminal, who would not shy away from showing off his success, even starting with the policeman he just met a few minutes ago.

Explanation:

The story of "After Twenty Years by O. Henry tells the story of how a crooked and wanted criminal was arrested by his best friend. But aside from the fact that he was arrested, the friend also did a more humane thing by not arresting him personally but still telling another officer to do the deed, so as not to let a criminal let loose again.

"Silky" Bob was a wanted criminal who would obviously be careful to not get caught. But despite all these, he still came to the appointed time and place to keep his promise to Jimmy Wells, his<em> "best chum"</em>. This may infer that he is loyal and trustworthy. But then, he also seemed to be proud of his achievement, fervently telling the officer he just met all about its purpose and success. Nobody tells their life stories to the people they just met. But he seemed more proud to show off his success, smoking a cigar and having a diamond <em>"scarf pin" </em>with a <em>"handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds"</em>. All of these attributes to his acquired taste.

But aside from all these descriptions, his decision to keep the promised appointment shows that he may have wanted to show off his success and also to see how his friend may have fared in his ow life during the past 20 years.

What structural decision does a translator make when translating an original text?
Anit [1.1K]
B makes sense, because when you are translating from another language there are often many different words that mean the same thing. Therefore, the translator would get to choose which one to use.
This is not really a structural decision, but it is the only answer which would stay true to the original story. The translator’s job is the change the language. not the whole story. Therefore, A, C, or D can not be correct.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. is a complete analysis and telling of the life story of a person who is not
Viktor [21]

This is missing a few details. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

1. _______ is a complete analysis and telling of the life story of a person who is not the author.

A. An autobiography

B. A memoir

C. A biography

2. A memoir is a compilation of ________ about moments or events in the life of the author.

A. fabrications

B. memories

C. facts

3. However, the information provided in both the works is supposed to be ________.

A. fictitious

B. factual

C. complex

Answer:

1. C. A biography is a complete analysis and telling of the life story of a person who is not the author.

2. A memoir is a compilation of B. memories about moments or events in the life of the author.

However, the information provided in both the works is supposed to be B. factual.

Explanation:

A biography tells the real story (the facts) about someone's life in chronological sequence. However, the author of the biography is not the person who the biography is about. For instance, if I write a complete analysis of my mother's life, I will be writing a biography. On the other hand, if she does it, it will be an autobiography.

Unlike biographies, a memoir tells someone's life facts in a more colorful way, approaching the writer's emotions and understanding of events.

Still, both the biography and the memoir have to provide factual information. The author cannot fill in the gaps between the person's life events with something he/she imagines that could have happened. That would be fiction. Biographies and memoirs are supposed to recount facts.

Q: Imagine you are Ravi/ Mridu (from the chapter 'The Gift of Chappals'). You
shtirl [24]

Dear Diary,

It is interesting how life is full of surprises and we can find satisfaction and happiness in situations that we have not planned. It is even more interesting when that satisfaction and happiness is generated when we help other people. I did not imagine that relieving, even a little, the suffering of others would do so much good for my soul and my spirit leaving me so satisfied with myself.

I have always thought that I would only find happiness in actions aimed at my own satisfaction, but by helping a beggar and allowing him to have a little satisfaction in his difficult life journey, I was happy. I liked to take some of the difficulties that the beggar goes through and give him a little comfort generated comfort for me too.

I was also fully happy, excited and full when adopting a pet cat. Knowing that this animal will have a home to protect it and that it will no longer be hungry and thirsty or mistreated, fills my soul with joy.

I intend to do good deeds frequently, because I want to feel this feeling forever, in addition to contributing to the happiness of others.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs? Alvarez traces how Trujillo demand
OlgaM077 [116]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by J* Alvarez.

Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

If you did not march, your cédula would not be stamped, and without a stamped identification card, you could do nothing; in particular, you could not obtain your passport to leave the country under the pretext of wanting to study heart surgery. This was the second escape—this time with his whole family—that my father was planning.

The day came when my mother had to march. The parade went on for hours in the hot sun until my mother was sure she was going to faint. Her feet were swollen and hurting. The back of her white dress was damp with sweat. Finally when she thought she could not go one more step, the grandstand came into sight, a clutter of dress uniforms, a vague figure on the podium.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs?

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.  Alvarez describes how her family reacted to Trujillo’s demands and how that affected their lives when they left the Dominican Republic.  Alvarez retells her mother’s humiliating experience of paying tribute to a dictator she did not support.  Alvarez describes how Trujillo’s mandatory taxes and tributes affected her mother in a negative way."

Answer:

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that the narrator explains to us how Trujillo assuming the position of a dictator requires that all citizens of the region offer tributes to him, if they want to remain in the country with a life with the minimum of dignity.

This demand greatly affected the life of the narrator's family, especially his mother, who was forced to pay tribute to a dictator she does not support, just to protect her family.
