what is the message of this poem:
“My Country and My People” by Lee Tzu Pheng
My country and my people
are neither here nor there, nor
in the comfort of my preferences,
if I could even choose.
At any rate, to fancy is to cheat;
and worse than being alien, or
subversive without cause,
is being a patriot
of the will.
I came in the boom of babies, not guns,
a ‘daughter of a better age’;
I held a pencil in a school
while the ‘age’ was quelling riots
in the street, or cutting down
those foreign ‘devils’,
(whose books I was being taught to read).
Thus privileged I entered early
the Lion City’s jaws.
But they sent me back as fast
to my shy, forbearing family.
So I stayed in my parents’ house,
and had only household cares.
The city remained a distant way,
but I had no land to till;
only a duck that would not lay,
and a runt of a papaya tree,
(which also turned out to be male).
Then I learnt to drive instead
and praise the highways till
I saw them chop the great trees down,
and plant the little ones;
impound the hungry buffalo
(the big ones and the little ones)
because the cars could not be curbed.
Nor could the population.
They built milli-mini-flats
for a multi-mini-society.
The chiselled profile in the sky
took on a lofty attitude,
but modestly, at any rate
it made the tourist feel ‘at home’.
My country and my people
I never understood.
I grew up in China’s mighty shadow,
with my gentle, brown-skinned neighbours;
but I keep diaries in English.
I sought to grow
in humanity’s rich soil,
and started digging on the banks, then saw
life carrying my friends downstream.
Yet, careful tending of the human heart
may make a hundred flowers bloom;
and perhaps, fence-sitting neighbour,
I claim citizenship in your recognition
of our kind,
my people, and my country,
are you, and you my home.​

"On Being a Cripple" by Nancy Mairs (1986)

The claim in Nancy's article or short story is, "I am a cripple."

Explanation:

Nancy's claim is the assertion about her physical condition. Nancy does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation.  Unfortunately, there is no way for the reader to verify Nancy's reason for describing herself as a "cripple."  Her claim remains subjective or a matter of the narrator's personal opinion.  Nancy can even claim that her physical condition is a divine blessing.

Many imprecise descriptions are coined by society to label some people.  Nancy feels that the truth or bluntness about a person's condition cannot lessen the pain nor denigrate the person. There are humorous meanings to be derived when described as a "cripple" without the use of meaningless metaphors.

A fixed-wing aircraft that is pushed forward by the power of a jet engine, propeller, or rocket engine is known as an airplane or airplane. There are many different sizes, forms, and wing arrangements for airplanes.

You can fly a single-engine plane typically at speeds of about 140 mph (122 knots). The Pilatus PC-12 NGX, one of the most modern single-engine aircraft, has a peak speed of 334 mph (290 knots).

As a result, the price might range from $15,000 to $100,000. The largest and most costly of the three are multi-engine aircraft, and like single-engine aircraft, there are several varieties of multi-engine aircraft. Costs for multi-engine aircraft range from $75,000 to $300,000.

The majority of flights begin boarding 30 to 50 minutes before departure, however, the precise timing varies depending on your destination and the kind of aircraft. 15 minutes before departure, boarding finishes. We could give another traveler your place if you don't show up. Once the doors close, you won't be able to board.

Answer:

As a woman, identifying with the story´s protagonist based on the first paragraph was complex. The beginning ('My first victim was a woman') made me feel like he was dangerous for those of my gender.

Explanation:

However, realizing that the 'victim' was actually a white woman discriminating against him for his race, something I have experienced personally because of my Latinamerican heritage, allowed me to identify myself with the protagonist, and therefore, I felt so much more immersed in his story.

Answer:

Ethos, pathos, parallelism.

Explanation:

Rhetorical devices are techniques are those techniques or elements of writing a text that a writer uses to convey the intended message. These techniques may include, ethos, alliteration, anaphora, pathos, parallelism, understatement, etc.

In the given speech, Isabella Baumfree/ Sojourner Truth employs the three techniques of ethos, pathos, and parallelism.

Ethos is the argument presented by a speaker by using his/ her character to establish the credibility of the argument. In the speech, Sojourner Truth bluntly stated "Nobody ever me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place!" She also admits "I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me!" proving that she is credible enough to talk about what is right or wrong.

Pathos is when a speaker uses her words in such a way that it evokes pity, sadness, or elicit feelings of relatability in the listeners. This can be seen in her words "I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me!"

Parallelism is the use of the same words and phrases while making one's point. Her constant use of the phrase "Ain’t I a woman?" is an example of the parallelism in her speech.

D. Reading President Jefferson’s letter to Meriwether Lewis reveals that Jefferson had instructions for Lewis.

Explanation:

The statement best illustrates a synthesis of ideas between these two texts is that reading President Jefferson’s letter to Meriwether Lewis reveals that Jefferson had instructions for Lewis.

Synthesizing simply means combining. Instead of summarizing the main points of each source in turn, you put together the ideas and findings of multiple sources in order to make an overall point.

In synthesis, you need to combine the information from those multiple sources and add your own analysis of the literature. This means that each of your paragraphs will include multiple sources and citations, as well as your own ideas and voice.

Thus, option D is true, as the statement best illustrates a synthesis of ideas between these two texts.

Answer:

The major fantastic event that occured in  the story was taking over of the house by mysterious forces. The characters react to this major event by letting these forces take over. They laid it off to them.

Explanation:

'The House Taken Over' is a short story written by Julio Cortazar. The story is about two siblings living in their ancestor's house which was eventually taken over by mysterious forces.

The major fantastic event that takes place in the story is 'taking over of the house by unknown entities'. This 'taking over' of the house by these forces, that remained unknown throughout the story, begins by first producing noises, when the siblings began to hear these voices, they ceased going to those areas of the houses from where these noises are coming. Slowly-slowly these noices 'took over' of the whole house rendering the siblings homeless.

The response that the two siblings gave to this major fantastic event was by ceasing to fight these forces. They let those forces 'take over' their ancestral house. Instead of combating with these unknown forces, which is trying to take over their house, they allowed them to take full control over their house, which results in the homelessness of these two siblings.

Explanation:

Answer:

[tex]\frac{\frac{8}{9} - \frac{5}{6} }{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Explanation:

There is two ways of doing this problem. I will show both ways.

Solving Problem (First way):

First, let's find a common denominator between [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] and -[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex].

They both can multiply to 36, so that is their (least) common denominator.

Multiply each fraction by the amount it would take to get to 36.

[tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] [tex]* \frac{4}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{32}{36}[/tex] and - [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] * [tex]\frac{6}{6}[/tex] = -[tex]\frac{30}{36}[/tex]

Now, add these two together:

[tex]\frac{32}{36}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{30}{36}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{36}[/tex]

This reduces down to [tex]\frac{1}{18}[/tex].

[tex]\frac{1}{18}[/tex] divided by [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] is the same as

This is equal to [tex]\frac{6}{18}[/tex], which reduces down to [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

Solving Problem (Second way):

[tex]\frac{\frac{8}{9} - \frac{5}{6} }{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex] is the same as saying [tex]\frac{\frac{8}{9} }{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex] and [tex]\frac{-\frac{5}{6} }{\frac{1}{6} }[/tex].

These are being divided by [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex], which is the same as multiplying b 6.

The values should now look like this:

[tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex] - [tex]5[/tex].

(If you want the same denominator, convert 5 into parts of 3, so [tex]\frac{15}{3}[/tex])

When you add these together, you get [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

I hope this helps!!

In "I Stand Here Ironing," our unnamed narrator is thinking to herself about a meeting to talk about her daughter, Emily. Throughout the course of the text, the mom thinks about the difficult instances they've been through and questions if she made the right choices. She wonders if the teacher knows all she's tried to do to help her daughter and if she's failed at helping Emily. Since the entire piece is only from the mother's perspective rewriting it from the daughter's perspective would give us new insight into their lives.
