2. Review the author’s use of the word “American” throughout Chunk 2. How is the narrator using the word to convey her feelings

about America?
English

Damm [24]2 years ago

Answer:

Whenever the author uses the word <em>American </em>with quotation marks, it is to ridicule the Americanized people who started believing they are truly American and decided to leave behind their heritage and history. The author, Anzia Yezierska, talks about how she finally moved to America in order to pursue her dreams, happiness, and financial stability, and started living with and working for a family from the same Polish village she comes from. The family completely forgot about where they come from and pretended they were truly American, or rather "American" as Yezierska would put it.

Through this usage, we can see how quickly the author's thoughts and feelings about the "land of freedom" changed. She moved there in order to earn her own money and finally be happy. However, what she encountered was loneliness, misunderstanding, shame, hatred, inadequacy, etc. which she wasn't hoping for. Therefore, her feelings about America shifted from childish exhilaration towards sad acceptance and ultimately hatred.

In the context of the text, how does love emerge? How is love portrayed as developing in the poem? Is it easy? What does it take
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

It depends on what kind. sibling love is when 2 or more siblings have a strong bond with each other. It really is the same with parents. Romance love, now that's hard I guess it emerges when people go out with each other. Best friends can become a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship. The only way to succeed in love is when you actually love the person you love because of her characteristics, not her looks or fame. People may be mean at first but it's most likely something happened to them. Then there's lust. Lust is when 2 people want each other but don't love each other.True love is only when you and your love been thru a lot with each other and are still together.

oee [108]

Question 1: The answer is A.

Tumo was extrinsically motivated to go back to college part-time because he knew there was a real chance that the plant where he worked would shut down and move its operations out-of-state. But at the same time, he was also intrinsically motivated because he saw this as an oportunity to fulfill his dream of becoming a veterinarian.

Question 2: The answer is A.

Tumo exhibits a Growth mindset. Rather than believing his qualities are set and looking for a job in a similar plant, he is certain that his intelligence can grow. Because of this, he strives to improve himself.

Question 3: The answer is C.

By isolating himself, Tumo would not be building resilience, on the contrary, he would be allowing the situation to get the best of him. On the other hand, if he were to maintain a positive stance, take actions before getting fired or see this as an opportunity, Tumo would be developing resilience and getting himself ready for the future that awaits him.
