Gangsters' warnings to migrants not to go to the police are ruthlessly enforced. Julio César Cancino Gálvez, with Grupo Beta Sur

, recalls how a group of about thirty migrants at the Tapachula train station asked him why the authorities weren't clamping down on the gangsters. Cancino told them they needed witnesses. He urged the migrants to step forward and report abuses. One nineteen-year-old Honduran in the crowd spoke up. He described his assailant in detail. Hours later, the Red Cross asked Cancino if he could help an injured migrant. It was the same Honduran teenager. His right ribs were broken. His entire chest and face were badly bruised. He spoke slowly, in a whisper, clasping his chest. Two gangsters had overheard his description and kicked him mercilessly. "Next time, we kill you," the gangsters told him. The teenager, afraid for his life, asked to be deported. —Enrique’s Journey, Sonia Nazario The underlined sentences demonstrate characterization. How does this technique support the author’s purpose? It shows that the refugees were strong and unafraid of the gangsters. It shows how violent the situation was and how scared Enrique was. It shows how hopeful the refugees were about reaching the United States. It shows that Enrique was quiet, shy, and preferred not to interact with others.

Trava [24]

D. The enemy is crafty, unscrupulous, experienced in deception.

This is the best choice. By calling the enemy crafty, unscrupulous, experienced in deception, Stalin is feeding the hatred the people have for the enemy. He is detailing the traits that are not desired and makes the people feel as though they are justified in their efforts to defeat the enemy. These details are also insulting to the enemy and could also be used to incite the enemy.

melomori [17]

I think that the correct option is C: the role of the idiom in this sentence is to explain that bad habits are creating a bad financial situation.

An idiom may be defined as a figure of speech established by usage that has a meaning not necessarily deductible from those of the individual words. Idioms are not always meant to be taken literally.

In this case, the idiom is explaining the cause of financial situation.

Describe how the Mary Rowland's experience during her captivity is a metaphor for a devout Puritan society. (250-300 words)
Yuri [45]
<span>During the time spent disclosing to her story, Rowlandson uncovers much about Puritan culture and states of mind towards ladies and Native Americans; comparably, she gives data about Native American culture, however regularly without acknowledging or even obviously understanding it. Rowlandson's personal record of her internment set up the model for ensuing imprisonment accounts, and her accentuation on her part as mother laid the foundation for later ladies' written work, including some African American slave stories.</span>
