Read the following excerpt from Sandra Cisneros’s story "Mericans." After all that dust and dark, the light from the plaza makes

me squinch my eyes like if I just came out of the movies. My brother Keeks is drawing squiggly lines on the concrete with a wedge of glass and the heel of his shoe. My brother Junior squatting against the entrance, talking to a lady and man. They’re not from here. Ladies don’t come to church dressed in pants. And everybody knows men aren’t supposed to wear shorts. “¿Quieres chicle?” the lady asks in a Spanish too big for her mouth. The irony in this excerpt contributes most to which of the following themes? It is always preferable to forget the past and focus on the future. It is possible for people to be connected to more than one culture. It is very easy to learn two different languages if one works hard. It is always easier to criticize people before getting to know them.

It can be observed that as the girl was standing at the plaza, she easily judged that the lady should not wear pants and the guy should not wear shorts in the church. She thought that they Americans but when the lady spoke, she was Spanish.</span>

The short story “ <u>Mericans </u>“ written by <em><u>Sandra Cisneros</u></em> is the story about children from Mexican descent living in America. They are trying to find their identity between these two worlds. They don’t use their Mexican names in America but easier sounding English names. Micaella (Michelle) narrates the story and she shows the differences between the two cultures, like in the excerpt what the dress code is for church and the woman trying to speak Spanish.

Question: The irony in this excerpt contributes most to which of the following themes?

Answer: B. It is possible for people to be connected to more than one culture.

In at least one hundred words, explain the basic structure of 1001 Nights.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

i hope these are hepful

Explanation:

It is a series of 1,000 poems, each of which tells a story. If you put together the first line of each of the poems, you get a final story, which is #1001, hence the title. Each of the poems was written by a different Persian poet in the 15th through 18th centuries and later translated into English. Most of them deal with legends from the Mongol Empire that were told by troubadours along the trade routes of Bucharest and Kamchatka

It is a group of stories which are interrupted by "Scherazade saw morning and discreetly fell silent"  The following night the story telling begins right after the interruption.  The interruptions are based on the length of the story and during some nights 2 or 3 short stories are told.  Some of these stories are organized into groups such as "Garden of verses". Many of the stories take place during the time of Haroun, Caliph of Bagdad. It is on 1001th night that all the stories have been told. .

Which sentence uses sarcasm to make a funny point?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<em>My car looks brand new with its rusted fender and dented doors.</em>

Explanation:

Sarcasm is when someone say something opposite to the actual scenario, to mock something just to make it funny in a delighted way of humor. <em>"My car is brand new"</em> is totally opposite to <em>"it's rusted fender and dented doors". </em>

Clearly his car is old, has rusted fender and dented doors which means  poorly managed, but he for the sake of laugh or to make it funny mentioned it a brand new car.

In at least 100 words, explain the significance of Bartleby's mantra "I would prefer not to" in Melville's short story "Bartleby
galina1969 [7]

The choice of this phrase has a paradoxical meaning in a way that Bartleby refuses to do the task asked from him and the expression of this rejection. It is a refusal, but at the same time it is a polite refusal because even when his boss asks again "You will not?", he answers again with "I prefer not". The phrase emphasizes Bartleby's passive resistance. The different use of the phrase, of course could have had a different effect in the story. It might cause a different demonstration and a different ending for the story. The boss could have replied differently because the refusal would be not polite then. However, the choice is intentional because of the development of the story. Therefore, it is suitable in its own way.
