This question is about "A quilt of a country".
Answer:
C. She supports the idea that every generation of immigrants arrives with the same dreams and faces the same problems of assimilation.
Explanation:
In paragraph 7, the author shows that even if cultural diversity prevents the country from reaching a national character, it brings all immigrants together in the same story and still achieves American glomorization about overcoming difficulties.
This is because all immigrants, including those who lived in the country in remote times, came with the same dreams and goals and had the same difficulties to establish themselves and readapt to the new environment. This unites them all in a single concept, thus being able to create a national character.
Answer and Explanation:
When choosing a subject to research and write about, we must be careful not to come up and stick to a topic that is too broad. If a topic is too broad, it allows for many subtopics to be derived from it, which means the research and the essay/speech will be all over the place. A narrower topic, on the other hand, will speak on a specific subject completely, without jumping from it to another. With that in mind, we can safely classify the following subjects in either "too broad" or "sufficiently narrowed" for a 500 to 800 word essay.
1. The Hawaiian Islands - Too broad. What about them? Their size? Their culture? Their people? Tourism?
2. The process of voting by caucus in primary elections - Sufficiently narrowed.
3. Lifestyle of women in rural Greece - Sufficiently narrowed.
4. Vacations in South America - Too broad. South America has several countries. Will we speak of each of them? Plus, what about the vacations? Their price? The best time to go? How long one should stay?
5. The health benefits of cottage cheese - Sufficiently narrowed.
6. Breakfast foods - Too broad. What about them? Which ones are more delicious? Which ones are the healthiest?
Answer:
Explanation:
Setting and tone/mood can be seen to go hand in hand, so to speak. For instance, a scene of a story or poem that takes place in a field of flower on a bright and sunny day would contribute to a tone of happiness. That said, the time 1984 occurs is in the future for the characters of the novel. The place is London, and the weather and color are, respectively, dreary and gray. Because the future can never be known for sure, this uncertainty contributes to the dystopian tone. Likewise, when one thinks about the miserable nature for people that would be caused by a dystopian society, bright and sunny are not what one might generally think. Setting in 1984 contributes to the tone of dystopia because when one pictures what a dystopia might look like, smoggy, foggy, and gray are probably what come to mind.
