Answer:
The theme is an important event in life that changed my character for the better.
Explanation:
The most significant event that happened in my life was moving to South-East Asia. That trip not only influenced my character and temperament, but also my whole conception of the world. Before all, their way of perceiving life, family and enjoyment is completely different than in the western part of the hemisphere, especially Chinese. They really tend to enjoy in every part of their day – if we’re talking about work, about food or having a coffee with friends, it doesn’t matter. I would say they have a healthy and simple relationship with life. They are kind and smiling, and always happy to help you if you need something. Passing my time there helped me to overcome my insecurities and to strengthen my beliefs that I had, because European values and lifestyle changed in a way that people feel more and more lonely and disconnected from the world, if we consider the history.
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
"The Unspoken History Behind a Surname" is an article written by Lolly Bowean. The author through this article shares her experience when people inquire about the origin of her surname.
The author writes that when people probe her about her origin, at times it is painful to discuss it. As it will mean to go back to the times of enslavement and the legacy of Americans. The author says that when, once a lady asked her about her origin and she explained to her how Boweans came from through the marrriage of 'Norwoods' and 'Wakefields', the lady almost whispered that 'they were whites.'
<u>The author then recalls how difficult it becomes, at times, to discuss about her origin as the baggage of race comes upon her. She says that though she is not ashamed of her enslaved ancestors, but people rarely wants to discuss about the history</u>.
So, the correct answer is option D.
It creates the feeling that New York is a living being.
Personification is giving nonhuman things human-like traits. In the sentence New York is described as having pockets and breathing. It's also described as having a morning and a night. These are all things a living being has. There are no noises besides breathing described, and this is not noisy. The conditions are also not described as being crowded. The tone is not predatory or negative so this also eliminates option B.
