A City Mouse and a Country Mouse were acquaintances (friends), and the Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see

him at his home in the fields. The City Mouse came, and they sat down to a dinner of roots. The fare was not much to the taste of the guest, and presently he broke out with "My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I fare (live)! You must come and stay with me, and I promise you, you shall live on the fat of the land." So when he returned to the city he took the Country Mouse with him, and showed him into a pantry containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates. The Country Mouse had never seen anything like it, and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided: but before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and someone came in. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly uncomfortable hole. Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again; but someone else came in, and off they scuttled again. This was too much for the visitor. "Good-bye," said he, "I'm off. You live in the lap of luxury, I can see, but you are surrounded by dangers; whereas at home I can enjoy my simple dinner of roots and corn in peace."
Recall the second step in the process to determine theme. In two to three sentences, explain why these events happened in the fable. (25 pts)

Answer:

The country mouse invited the city mouse for some dinner at the country mouse place, but the city mouse thinks everything is better in the city. So then the country mouse came to the city mouse house. The city mouse then said to him," My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now you should just see how I fare." They then sat and ate, while mice keep coming into the house. This was then too much for the city mouse and said he lives in danger and left.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs? Alvarez traces how Trujillo demand
OlgaM077 [116]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by J* Alvarez.

Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

If you did not march, your cédula would not be stamped, and without a stamped identification card, you could do nothing; in particular, you could not obtain your passport to leave the country under the pretext of wanting to study heart surgery. This was the second escape—this time with his whole family—that my father was planning.

The day came when my mother had to march. The parade went on for hours in the hot sun until my mother was sure she was going to faint. Her feet were swollen and hurting. The back of her white dress was damp with sweat. Finally when she thought she could not go one more step, the grandstand came into sight, a clutter of dress uniforms, a vague figure on the podium.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs?

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.  Alvarez describes how her family reacted to Trujillo’s demands and how that affected their lives when they left the Dominican Republic.  Alvarez retells her mother’s humiliating experience of paying tribute to a dictator she did not support.  Alvarez describes how Trujillo’s mandatory taxes and tributes affected her mother in a negative way."

Answer:

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that the narrator explains to us how Trujillo assuming the position of a dictator requires that all citizens of the region offer tributes to him, if they want to remain in the country with a life with the minimum of dignity.

This demand greatly affected the life of the narrator's family, especially his mother, who was forced to pay tribute to a dictator she does not support, just to protect her family.
