The answer is: Her mother's image of the great man did not match reality.
In the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice," the author Julia Alvarez claims her mother did not know about the horrific atrocities of dictatorship Trujillo in the Dominican Republic. One of the reasons is her parents were too afraid to mention anything contrary to the system to protect her children. As a result, when she was a child, Alvarez's mother must have thought Trujillo was a film star and might have wished to meet him.
<span>1) The speaker pleads with his mistress to let him touch her and to lose her virginity to him.
2) She is being coy because they aren't married, and being sexually involved with him would stain her honor as a woman.
3) If they lived for eons, it would be OK for her to put him off. He would use the eons to love her from a distance. But their lives are short. Therefore, she should enjoy physical love with him.
4) Vegetable love wouldn't be physically active like an animal; it would grow in one place instead.
5) "Like amorous birds of prey, rather at once our time devour" describes a fierce, active, physical love.
6) "Roll all our strength and all our sweetness up into one ball" suggests they should be so close they are one.
7) "Deserts of vast eternity" don't contain any physical satisfaction.

9) The poet urges her to "carpe diem" or "seize the day".

To sort these ideas into categories of pros and cons, you have to understand the connotation and side of the argument that the information supports. A positive effect of technology in classrooms would be in the pros, and negative effects would be in the cons section.
So, the first idea, “health effects of long-term radiation exposure,” represents negative effects of having daily use of electronics that emit radiation so it would be a con.
The second idea, “podcasts,” would be a pro. Podcasts are a great way to share ideas and educate the general public and could even be used in a teaching session in a classroom to assist with the lesson.
The third idea speaks directly of the “cons” that are present in technology in the classroom, so it is obviously a con. This study from 2003 would show the negative side of the argument.
The last idea, that tech in classrooms “improves academic performance,” is a positive effect. Therefore it would be considered a pro.
I hope this helps! :)
