2 answers:

4 0

Steinbeck uses parallelism in the Grapes of Wrath because he wanted to emphasize the fact that the people were not happy when the new migrant moves into their neighborhood. He also shows how the migrants form close bonds with each other due to their similar struggles and life experiences. Parallelism is the balance between two or more similar words or phrases. By using parallelism, the author improves his writing style and readability of his novel. Parallel construction also improves the reader's understanding of the story.

Parallel structure or parallelism means repeating the grammatical form within the sentence. Repetitive grammatical elements in the sentence are similar or identical in structure, sound, meter or meaning. This technique contributes to the balance and effectiveness of written work, affecting readability and makes texts easier to process.

For that purpose, John Steinbeck used parallelism to emphasize the injustice that occurred to migrants during the Great Depression. He wanted readers to experience the lives of migrants. In order to achieve this, he created tones of passion, sorrow, anger and despair through his writing. In order to develop his tones and present it to readers in a more acceptable and understandable way, he used paralelism.

Based on the story of Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story", reread lines 120-131. With a small group, discuss why the wolves kill

miv72 [106K]

In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".

From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.

As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.

Which statement explains why Elie Wiesel most likely wrote All Rivers Run to the Sea as a memoir?

mixer [17]

<u>The correct answer is: A) to reveal the traumatic impact of the Holocaust had on his life .</u> The author tried to understand why so many deaths in the holocaust, what was the point of that factory of death, how to explain the insane mind that devised this black hole in history called Birkenau and then thought that perhaps there was nothing to understand and that the reason for the holocaust will always be incomprehensible.

Which historical events do the authors include to support the claim in this passage? Select two options. details of Marie Antoin

DedPeter [7]

Question:

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

In France, there was no Parliament or Congress; no one expected to be able to protect his rights by voting. But even in the land of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, the people demanded to be heard. In July 1789, Parisians stormed the Bastille, the hated prison where the king locked up anyone he disliked. And in August, the newly defined National Assembly issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen. "Men are born and remain free and equal in rights,” it announced to the world. Here it was again, Pierre Lemerre’s phrase, Jefferson’s phrase, the principle Clarkson was fighting for—indeed, he came to France to support the new government. And yet the Declaration also said that "property is an inviolable and sacred right.” So what were slaves? Equal human beings, or goods that belonged to their owners? Human rights versus property rights. That argument goes on today as, for example, we debate how closely to regulate coal mining. Is it best to let owners set rules, which is likely to give all of us cheaper coal, or to have the government set standards, which is more likely to protect workers and the environment? In France, one side argued that slaves must be freed. The other said that to change anything in the sugar islands would invite slave revolts, help France's rivals, and thus hurt the nation.

Which historical events do the authors include to support the claim in this passage? Select two options.

A) Details of Marie Antoinette’s actions at the Bastille

B) Specific details about the modern sugar industry

C) A quotation from the Declaration of Rights of Man and the Citizen

D) A summary of political changes related to human rights in France

E) A description of revolts in the sugar islands

Answer:

The correct answer is C)

Explanation:

The passage depicts the argument between two opposing ideas about the freedom of people and slavery.

The authors cited the declaration of rights of man and the citizen in the 5th and 7th sentences.

If Humans were born free and entitled to their freedom and if they were also entitled to keep their properties, the question was what happens to slaves?

Slaves were properties owned by people.

The challenge with the opposing ideas was that on one side of the argument, there was an inherent assumption that slaves were not humans but properties.

Cheers!
