I could never ask any of my friends over to our apartment. They would have suffered culture shock. So I divided myself into two

people—actually three, if you counted the after-school hippie version as a separate identity. It was not always easy to shuffle out of my visionary self and into the binding coat of propriety the Puerto Rican girl was supposed to wear, although my parents were more understanding than others in our barrio. Which of the main character's traits does this passage most clearly reveal?
A. Her acceptance of her Puerto Rican heritage
B. Her struggle with meeting others' expectations
C. Her sensitivity toward her friends' needs
D. Her ease with practicing her family's religion

This passage most clearly reveal her struggle with meeting others' expectations.

The correct answer is B.

In this excerpt, we can realize that she has difficulties to fit into her friends lives by living like a tradicional girl from Puerto Rico. She feels that kind of culture would shock her friends and so she tries to change in order to be accepted. In doing this, she also has to face people in her <em>barrio</em> and her family, although they seem to understand what she is going through.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The contrast between life and death becomes prominent towards the end of the story. This story ending is not a very happy ending but a realistic one. “ 'She gave me a message: she told me to tell you. She told me to tell you that she never was engaged to that handsome Italian. I am sure I am very glad; Mr. Giovanelli hasn't been near us since she was taken ill. I thought he was so much of a gentleman; but I don't call that very polite!’ ” (James 448). This is very sad to hear if you are in Winterbourne’s position. He really loved her and she loved him but she was playing with his heart. Also, the fact that Mr. Giovanelli did not come around anymore shows his intentions were not the same as Winterbourne’s. Love and death is a sensitive subject that shows throughout the story and never fails to add a realness and an emotional standpoint to a story. These contrasts are what makes the story interesting and keep the readers on the edge of their seats. If these contrasts were solved or there were no conflicts would the story be as good? The story would possibly be completely different. If Daisy were not as spontaneous and flirtatious it would be safe to say her and Winterbourne could have had a life together. If American and European cultures were not as opposing would their even be any conflicts to begin with? These questions arise as contrasts are thought of as ideas are contrasted.

How are Aristotle and Saint Thomas Aquinas connected? Your answer should be at least one hundred words.
Snezhnost [94]

Aquinas was greatly influenced by the work of Aristotle. Aquinas himself recognized this, and even referred to Aristotle as "<em>The Philosopher</em>." Aquinas adopted Aristotelian views in his analysis of physical objects, the idea of time and place and in his cosmology. His moral philosophy is carefully crafted around Aristotelian ideas, and he provided the first analysis of many areas of Aristotelian philosophy that otherwise would have remained obscure. However, this does not mean that Aristotle was his only influence. More importantly, it does not mean that his ideas are simply a reinterpretation of Aristotelian ones. Aquinas created a new way of looking at life and the world, which was markedly different from any author before or after him.
