This question refers to the text The Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle .

Answer:

With this phrase Turkle means that because of technology, we are all alone since every time we share less with people in a physical way and we do it more in a virtual way. But since it's something we all do, she says we're in this together. That's why she uses the phrase <em>"alone together."</em>

Explanation:

These words have a great influence on what the whole article is, since she wants to emphasize that really the vast majority of people are in this situation.

People just want to pay attention to what interests them, ignoring everything that doesn't.

This means that we all get more and more into technology and ignore the people around us, just to communicate virtually.

We are alone, but together at the same time because we remain connected even though we are immersed in technology.

Mila [183]

Answer:

The rosebush is nature’s offering to those who must enter or leave the prison.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" revolves around the adultery conviction of Hester Prynne and the 'punishment' she must endure for the crime. This Puritan society's expectation of making a 'perfect' society where a sin like adultery is a major crime one can commit, and the eventual punishment that she must endure, bearing the "scarlet letter A" as a sign of her sin and punishment for all to see.

In the given excerpt from the very first chapter of the book, the speaker/ narrator describes the jail/prison entrance where there grew a while rose-bush. It offered its <em>"fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom .... [as a] token that the deep heart of Nature could pity and be kind to him." </em>This <u>rosebush is a symbol of nature's offering to everyone who enters or leaves the prison. </u>

_____ is a characteristic of realism. honest portrayal exaggeration melodrama romanticized life experience
melisa1 [442]

The correct option is “honest portrayal”. Realism is an artistic style that emerged in the 19th century in France, especially in painting and writing. The main purpose of realism is to portray accurately real life and places. Realism is opposed to the Romantic movement so the option “romanticized life experience” is not a characteristic of realism. Exaggeration and melodrama are not related to Realism since it depicts reality in a detailed and honest perspective.
