Amy Tan uses details to show that her family's meal was embarrassing. Her description of her father burping uses imagery because the reader can imagine hearing her father's burp. The guests are astonished, which means they are shocked, because this custom is different. Robert's red face is another description that helps the reader picture him being embarrassed as well. The minister's burp is quiet, and he seems embarrassed by the custom too. Amy says this moment made her silent for the rest of the night, which shows that she is embarrassed.

"Fifteen million people can't be wrong." What is fallacious about this statement?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Option D.What is fallacious about the statement is that it suggests that the truth of a thing is determined by the number of people who like it.

Explanation:

The statement "fifteen million people can't be wrong" is fallacious as it implies that the truth is determined by the amount of people who believe in it, when the truth about something or someone is a fact one dimensional statement that has nothing to do with the number of people that believe in it or not. Not because 15 million people believe that something is true, changes the fact of its veracity or lack thereof.

In Amaterasu, how do Susanowo’s actions affect the advancement of the plot?

nikdorinn [45]

In Amaterasu, Susanowo's actions (the part where he annoyed his sister Amaterasu because she did not appreciate him) affected the advancement of the plot by making his sister hide into a rock and not wanting to have any interaction with Susanowo again. This led to darkness falling over the entire world, and Susanowo getting sad on his way to the underworld.

Read this excerpt from "Wiley, His Mama, and the Hairy Man" in The People Could Fly

klasskru [66]

Answer and explanation:

In literature, exposition is the part of a story in which the author sets the stage for what will happen. It is where the theme, characters, conflicts, setting and/or circumstances are laid out. It is during the exposition that we get to know some fundamental facts about the characters that will help us understand who they are and keep up with their development through the story.

In "Now, facts are facts. Wiley was a boy. He and his mama lived by themselves with just Wiley’s dogs," we have an exposition because the character Wiley is being introduced to us. We now know he is a boy who lives with his mother and dogs. Those are simple facts about Wiley that set the stage for bigger conflicts and happenings. We need to know a bit about the characters to feel connected to them.

Write about a time when your best friend surprised you. What was the surprise? What was your reaction? Did you enjoy it? Do you

Dominik [7]

Answer:

The time when my best friend surprised me was some days after my birthday.

He brought a huge cake and completely shocked me, and that was early in the morning.

I was elated, excited, shocked, all forms of happiness and surprise.

Yes, I did really enjoyed it.

I definitely think it is good to sometimes give surprises to others. We may not know what is happening to them, but surprises make people forget their sadness and bring happiness, even if temporary.

Explanation:

On my birthday, my best friend surprised me with a birthday cake. He brought it and came to my home without any notice early in the morning.

The surprise was a success, for I genuinely loved not only the cake but also the gesture. I was utterly shocked that he would even do that, considering it was already some days after my real birthday. But the surprise was a welcome surprise.

I think it is indeed good to give people surprises, for it makes the other person so happy. It was, at least for me. I never imagined that will happen to me, but it did and I really enjoyed it. And we never know what’s going on with people. So, surprises may bring temporary happiness, but it provides relief from the problems for some time, and that’s still better.
