I would say the correct answer is too old yet.
Granny is saying how everything is different now - how she used to keep a better house, and get more work done in the past. Now, she is getting too old to keep up with these new changes, and she is somewhat resisting the conventional ideas.

lord [1]

Answer:

The infinitives are beside each other, but one does not contain the other.

Explanation:

<em>Infinitives are the basic form of the verb without any articulation links it to the subject. The sentence provided here employs two infinitives "to try" and "to write" back to back and beside each other. The sentence is correct as the usage of two base forms of the verbs has often been witnessed. However, the infinitives are beside each other yet they do not contain each other as each is displaying its meaning clearly and effectively. Thus, the last option is correct.</em>

In at least 150 words explain how the dialect used by huck and Jim in these excerpts contributes to the realism of the story
blagie [28]

Answer:

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was one of the first novels written in "American English" particularly the ones spoken by the narrator and main protagonist of the story. The "Pike County Dialect" and its variations, is the language in which Huck and most of the important characters to the plot, (like his father, like Tom and Jim, Aunt Polly, Judith Loftus) expressed themself. The function of this dialect is to give us the reality of a marginalized and impoverished entity that is palpable throughout the entire book, the author gives this dialect a leading role that is seeks to give us that realism necessary to understand the concept, that happen along to the Mississippi River, and brings us closer to details of southern society, such as racism and the superstition of the slaves in that time, Jim is a fugitive slave  who flees seeking his freedom, and Huck captured by his evil father, who takes him to live in a hut down river, there Huck remains captive, but manages to escape in a raft  they find each other and the two undertake a dangerous journey and live many adventures together.
