This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Read "The Pie", by Gary Soto.
Symbolically, what's significant about young Gary's sticky face, dirty fingers, and desire to find some water toward the end of the story?
Answer:
Gary's sticky face and dirty fingers symbolize the guilt he feels for the sin he committed (dirty hands represent guilt for wrongdoing).
His desire for water represents his guilt as he wants to wash his sin away.
Explanation:
Soto's stealing the pie signifies his loss of innocence.
The theme of the story is that, if we have a conscience, stealing will make us feel guilty.
Store A ( near school) has 1 bottle of juice for $2.49 (Divide $19.99 by 8 and you get $2.49) . Store B (near your house) has 1 bottle of juice for $2.62 ( Divide $15.75 by 6 and you get $2.62).
So Store B (Near your house) has the higher unit price per juice.
Again and again the universality of human experience is stressed within the play. The Stage Manager himself is more than just a chorus; he is a universal figure outside of time and space because he can talk to the audience, the characters in the play, and even the dead in the cemetery. The storyline in the play has a very large universality. When people read or watch Our Town, they'll realize that this play could have happened anywhere, in any time, to any one of us.
<span>Satire is a genre of
literature in which individuals, corporation, government or society are ridiculed
in purpose of constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to
both particular and wider issues in society in order to correct or shape
opinions and behavior. But, satire can’t be effective in shaping behavior or
opinions if the audience is always in on the joke and never being targeted. The
effectiveness of satiric work is mirrored in sole comprehension of the targeted
group of individuals that they are wrong, and should correct their opinions and
behavior. Many satiric writers believe that satires should be medicine
disguised as candy, so it would be easier for targeted group to accept it. If
only non-targeted audience comprehend the joke (main idea of satiric work), the
satire would not be effective as they agree with author’s criticism and there
is no need for them to correct their behavior nor their opinions.</span>
cause it is talking about how they have known each other for so long but never really talked and that its good to let people know how u feel "It helps you to let off steam."
Peter. I suppose you miss your friends and all.
Anne. It isn't just . . . (She breaks off, staring up at him for a second.) Isn't it funny, you and I? Here we’ve been seeing each other every minute for almost a year and a half, and this is the first time we've ever really talked. It helps a lot to have someone to talk to, don't you think? It helps you to let off steam.(continued)
Peter (Going to the door). Well, any time you want to let off steam, you can come into my room.
Anne (Following him). I can get up an awful lot of steam. You'll have to be careful how you say that.
Peter. It’s all right with me.
Anne. Do you mean it?
Peter. I said it, didn’t I?
your welcome have a wonderful day
