If I were to create a poster that explains positive culture group interactions, I would split it into four different sections. In the first section, I would describe what a culture group is (a group with shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices). In this section, I would include images that reflect culture groups from different countries. In the second section, I would discuss the idea of knowledge of culture. In this section, I would explain that knowledge of my culture and the other person's culture is key to having a positive culture group interaction. I would also use images of a library, which is a place where knowledge is kept. In the third section, I would discuss needs and feelings of people involved in a culture group interaction. In this section, I would explain that it is important to remember the needs and feelings of each person involved in a culture group interaction. I would also include an image of two people talking. In the fourth section, I would have no words but rather one image of two people with their arms around each other. This would reflect that positive culture group interactions create friendships.

What effect did the author most likely intend with the description “Behind them the line of woods gaped like a dark open mouth”?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The author describes the woods as “a dark open mouth" to foreshadow the way the family will meet their deaths and also suggestive of how the story will end.

Explanation:

Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" revolves around the story of a family's road trip that will lead to their deaths. And the tragic fate was a result of the grandmother's insistence that they go sightseeing, which led them to their car accident and discovery by prison escapee "The Misfit".

In describing the woods where they were stuck in as a <em>"line of woods [that] gaped like a dark open mouth”</em>, the author provides a foreboding of how the family will meet their fates. He personifies the woods as 'opening its mouth' and waiting to devour the family, suggestive of the imminent death of the whole family at the hands of The Misfit.

This description was the author's intention of predicting or foreshadowing the killings of the family members by The Misfit.
