How does the mention of Governor Faubus in Jackie Robinson’s letter to President Eisenhower strengthen the main argument of the
antoniya [11.8K]

<u>Answer</u>:

<u>The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.

Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.

However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.

How is the word choice regarding the parents’ surname significant in sleeping
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Winter symbolizes cold, still, fruitless time of no change, when things aren't born, renewed, or changed.</u>

By naming the two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Winter by this season, the writer symbolizes the coldness and childlessness in their life. It seems that they lost the child, but they approached the grief from the calculated, rational point -<u> not acknowledging the loss and emotions, and continuing to act rationally on the outside as if nothing is happening.</u>

<u>This can be connected to the coldness and stillness of the winter, the snow that covers all the flora and vegetation, and seems to last forever in the icy embrace. </u>

Which sentence from "The World on Turtle's Back" best illustrates why the story is considered a creation myth? The woman created
il63 [147K]

<em>Answer:</em>

The woman placed the dirt on Turtle’s back and performed a ritual to create the earth.

<em>Explanation:</em>

The world on Turtle’s back is a Native American tradition that explains the origins of the Earth. The story surfaces from the legend that the world was created on the back of a giant turtle. The story is considered to be a creation myth because it has the engagement of supernatural powers, that have worked inconsistent with her magic. This is a creation myth because the only thing supporting it is the belief in the story that has been passed down from generation to generation, as a creation story, and this belief gave rise to popular religious beliefs and customs of the Iroquois.

Lina20 [59]

The statement that best describes the use of sound devices in the lines is the one that reads as follows: "Excerpt 1 contains alliteration, and excerpt 2 contains onomatopeia".

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the first example, the sound /t/ is repeated in "turbulency tells". On the other hand, onomatopeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. In the second example, there are "moaning" and "groaning", both verbs relating to sounds and being formed from the sound they are associated with.
