NEED HELP ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
adapted from Literature Made Easy
by Henry Martyn Kieffer

A man wrote to the editor of a small weekly newspaper, which was held in high regard, and asked a simple question, "How can I get an article into your newspaper?"
The editor wrote in reply, "It all depends on the kind of article you want to get into our paper. If it is small in bulk like a hairbrush or a tea canister, for instance, spread the paper out on the floor nice and smooth, place the article exactly in the center, neatly fold the edges over it, and tie with a string. This will keep the article from slipping out. If, on the other hand, the article is an English bathtub or a table, you will find one of the Sunday papers better suited to your purpose."

4. In paragraph 4, Turkle uses an oxymoron (contradictory words): alone together. What does Turkle mean by this phrase? As Turkl
Usimov [2.4K]

This question refers to the text The Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle .

Answer:

With this phrase Turkle means that because of technology, we are all alone since every time we share less with people in a physical way and we do it more in a virtual way. But since it's something we all do, she says we're in this together. That's why she uses the phrase <em>"alone together."</em>

Explanation:

These words have a great influence on what the whole article is, since she wants to emphasize that really the vast majority of people are in this situation.

People just want to pay attention to what interests them, ignoring everything that doesn't.

This means that we all get more and more into technology and ignore the people around us, just to communicate virtually.

We are alone, but together at the same time because we remain connected even though we are immersed in technology.
