Answer:

<em>D.)</em><em> to illustrate the destruction of granny's dream. </em>

Explanation:

When expressing something through symbolism, the author tries to imply something through abstract representation, there is a focus on what emotions or ideas the symbols used, and what they convey in the reader. In this case, the smoke is used to illustrate negativity in that memory and contrasts that negativity with the fields planted, therefore it is establishing that it negatively impacted that drEam.

Answer:

Dear Daniel,

Chase just committed s.u I cid e last night. He had been looking gloomy for the past few weeks but no one knew that he was to this point. I thought that you would wanna know because your his brother, but then again you weren’t the best to him, you beat him down just when he was trying to get back to his feet! I’m sorry to yell but maybe if you‘d said something kind, maybe even a kind remark then he would still be eating dinner with us, watching tv. But no, you had to make him crumble into a pit of drivel and from that drivel you drove him straight into the ground. I told him my secret of... How I “tried” when I was young, had I known I wouldn’t have told him my secret.

What is the connotative meaning of this line from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect"?
alukav5142 [94]
When you think about Thanksgiving cooking, typically you think of a rush to get everything done and to put all of the food onto the table so that everyone can eat. There is a tone of rushing and impatience being conveyed. Therefore, I would say that 4 is the most suitable answer. General Barker is clearly in a hurry and is under some stress. I hope this helps.
