On Edg: Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."

Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself conscious of the English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture and I heard myself saying this: “Not waste money that way.” My husband was with us as well, and he didn’t notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It’s because over the twenty years we’ve been together I’ve often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up with.

How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt?
A. Tan discusses the form of language she uses with her family to support the idea that nonstandard English is only appropriate at home.
B. Tan describes a realization she makes while with her husband to support the idea that nonstandard forms of English are important forms of communication.
C. Tan compares the English of her childhood with the English of her adulthood to support the idea that adults should use standard English with children.
D. Tan relates a story about her husband to support the idea that people do not always understand each other, even when they speak the same language.

Answers

Answer 1

In 250-300 words, discuss Jem’s character development in To Kill a Mockingbird. How does he grow and change? What are the major events that affect that change?

Answers

Answer:

    However, while Jeremy Atticus Finch, better known as Jem, was not the primary character in Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird (also known as To Kill a Mockingbird), he is the character who is the most dynamic because of the huge changes that occur in his life during the tale. Jem and his younger sister Scout are extremely similar in appearance at the beginning of the novel. They are both hot-headed and frequently make impulsive actions that get them in danger; for example, trespassing on the Radleys' porch and nearly being killed by Nathan Radley as a result of it. In contrast, as the tale continues and the children become aware of Atticus's involvement in Tom's trial, tensions begin to emerge between Jem and Scout. Scout maintains her hot-headedness and has become enraged with anybody who has insulted Atticus during the trial, but Jem maintains his cool, as though he understands that being enraged would be counterproductive. He also begins to ponder more about what is going on in Maycomb and what the people who live there are actually like as a result of his observations. Combined with his increased capacity to think critically under pressure, Jem's ability to maintain his composure under pressure demonstrates Jem's maturing maturity.

    Despite this maturity, Jem shows signs of immaturity by losing his cool with Mrs. Dubose, who harasses and criticizes Atticus on a regular basis and ruins her flowers in the process. Following his being forced to pay back his vandalism by reading to Mrs. Dubose, who tragically passes away due to her advanced age, Atticus teaches Jem about what true courage is, and how he can learn a lesson from Mrs. Dubose, who gave up her Morphine addiction in order to die "free," despite the fact that it caused her a great deal of pain. When Jem realizes what she has learned, she grows more mature as the day of Tom's trial approaches.

    If and when the trial eventually takes place, Jem witnesses first-hand the bigotry and hatred that pervades Maycomb and is appalled by it; yet, he maintains optimism that Atticus will be able to convince the community of Tom's innocence. When the judgment is read and Tom is found guilty, all of those dreams are dashed to the ground. Jem feels disturbed at learning that the inhabitants of Maycomb are capable of such evil behavior, and his viewpoints shift. Jem grows more cynical as time goes on, and he begins to understand why Boo Radley chooses to remain inside since the world in which he lives is so harsh.

    When Jem and Scout are attacked by Bob Ewell at the very end of the novel, all of Jem's maturity is put to the ultimate test. Jem protects his sister with a knife against a mature guy, resulting in his arm being broken and him being knocked unconscious, despite the fact that he is still a child himself. That Jem transformed from an immature youngster who bullied his shy neighbor to a caring elder brother who sacrificed his life to defend his sister is demonstrated in this pivotal moment of the narrative.

Which of the following is a complete
sentence?
A. After the large Independence Day celebration by the
lake, complete with fireworks.
B. When everyone left the party, the room was full of
tables, and the floor was covered with confetti.
C. Now that Captain is the head of our school football
team.

Answers

Answer:

B is the complete sentence.

Explanation:

This is because the transition word "when" is used to link two complete sentences.

When links the two sentences "everyone left the party" and "the room was full of tables, and the floor was covered with confetti.

The sentence everyone left the party is a complete sentence because it has a subject (everyone) followed by a verb (left).

The sentence the room was full of tables and the floor was covered with confetti is a complete sentence because it has two subjects (the room, the floor) followed by two verbs ( was full of, covered).

A is not a complete sentence because After links a sentence with a fragment. "Complete with fireworks" does not have a subject, nor a verb, so it cannot be a complete sentence.

B is not a complete sentence because it has a linkage, "Now that", with no second sentence. It only has the one sentence of  "captain is the head of our school football team.

Think about the consequences Ghost faces as a result of his decision to steal a pair of running shoes. Do you think that the way that Coach punishes him is fair? What would the consequences have been if Ghost had been stopped by the police instead? What would the consequences have been if his mother had discovered the theft? What would have happened if Ghost had never been caught? Why might it have been better for him to get caught? Explain.​

Answers

Answer:

1.It is fair. 2. If he had been stopped by the police, he would've been to juvenile hall. 3. If his mother had discovered the theft she would've probably taken him out of the team. 4. If he had never been caught he would still have the belief that getting what he needed at all costs was alright. 5. Because he would've been scared and learned a lesson as well.

Explanation:

The way that Coach punished Ghost was fair since he needed to be called out to know that what he did was wrong. If he had been stopped by the police, he would've gone to juvenile hall. If his mom had discovered the theft, she would perhaps be mad and don't listen to Ghost's reasons, she could've grounded him and taken him out of the team that he loves. If he had never been caught, he would've probably become a real thief in the future. It might have been better for him to get caught since he could've gotten scared and never would've done it again.

uncle toms cabin
Select a passage from the novel in which meaning is implied rather than directly stated. Explain the techniques that are used by the author and how the meaning is indicated. Your response should be at least 150 words.

Answers

An implied meaning passage is one where the reader does not understand the meaning of the passage by just reading the text it presents, but one where the reader needs to reflect and interpret the text to arrive at the correct meaning.

In the case of "Uncle toms cabin" we have an example of this type of passage, which can be seen in the following lines:

“I looks like gwine to heaven,” said the woman; “an't thar where white folks is gwine?  I'd rather go to torment, and get away from Mas'r and Missis.”

These lines may not be understood once the reader has read them, but they have a very deep meaning that requires interpretation. In this passage, we can see a slave, named Prue, who was much abused by white people.

This has placed such a psychological burden on Prue that it makes her doubt that she will ever have peace even in heaven. In this passage, Prue states that she doesn't want to go to heaven, because the white people will be there and she will have to be explored by them again.

So she claims that she prefers to go to hell, because this place is better than the exploitation and violent environment that whites promote for blacks.

This passage has a strong relationship with the themes covered in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," as this book reinforces the oppressive life and violent system that was instituted for black slaves, which caused both physical and psychological damage.

Refer to Source A and Source B. Compare how the writers present their different perspectives on the national rail disasters they describe.

Answers

Answer:

In source A, we have the perspective of someone traveling on the train when the accident happened. In source B, we have the point of view of the parents of a victim.

We can see that in source A, the writer gives a detailed description of what he witnessed. That is to say, the injured passengers, the moment of the accident, and how he witnessed deaths. We can perceive how traumatized DIckens is with the situation.

In source B, we feel the pain of Juliet's parents. They did not witness the accident, but they lost a beloved one. In this source, we have the parent's perspective when they realized that their daughter was one of the victims and how that event had changed their lives forever.

Explanation:

The two texts describe train accidents, but we can see that the perspective of the first one is from someone who was there when the accident happened, and it describes how traumatized he is due to the accident. We can see this when he says, "I should have written to you yesterday or the day before if I had been quite up to writing. I am a little shaken, not by the beating and dragging of the carriage in which I was, but by the hard work afterward in getting out the dying and dead, which was most horrible."

In source B, we have the perspective of Juliet's parents, one of the victims of the rail disaster. They express their grief and describe how they realized that their daughter was one of the victims. We can see this in line 13 "...It wasn't until lunchtime that I called. I still couldn't get an answer, so phoned her company. They said: 'We're afraid she hasn't arrived yet, Mr. Groves, and we're very worried.' At that point, my heart sank." We can see that they are still grieving and that this was an event that changed them with the last paragraph, "But that promise is not enough for Denman and Mauren Groves. Neither has boarded a British train since the crash and never will again. Their grief would not allow it, nor the sense of lingering injustice. "I can't do it, I won't do it," says Denman. "I don't want any involvement with Network Rail. The last contact I had with them was at the trial in 2007. I told the chairman he ought to be ashamed of himself."
