Would Amy Tan or her mother agree more with the feelings expressed in
“Push”? Explain WHY by using text evidence from the story.
Answers
Answer:
Conflicts can be divided into two categories: internal and external.
An internal conflict is a conflict a character has with his or her self. In this case, the young girl Jing-mei has internal conflicts because she fears she will never be special, and she worries about how her mother feels about her.
An external conflict is a conflict a character has with an outside force. The most common external conflict is character vs. character. Jing-mei’s main conflict is with her mother, who wants her to be some kind of child prodigy so she can brag about her to her friends. Other external conflicts in the story include character vs. society, as Jing-mei struggles to find her place in both the Chinese and American cultures. You could even argue that there is a character vs. technology conflict, because Jing-mei struggles to learn the piano.

What does Odilia realize about the ear pendant that La Llorona gave her?
Answers
Answer:
Odilia realized that the pendant that she got from La Llorona was a magic one that can grant them five wishes.
Explanation:
Guadalupe Garcia McCall's "Summer of the Mariposas," tells the 'epic' journey of five sisters in their attempts to return a dead man's body to his family, thereby embarking on an "odyssey" to Mexico from Texas. And through their journey, the sisters endured and encountered 'divine' beings, just like Odysseus did in Homer's epic "The Odyssey".
On their journey to Mexico to return Gabriel Pérdido's dead body to his family in Mexico, they encountered the ghostly La Llorona who gave Odilia an ancient ear pendant that had been owned by Tonantzin, an Aztec queen. This magic pendant was to help them 'overpower' the spells of Cecelia, who turned out to be an evil witch. Cecelia has a horde of other 'witches' who are called the "Evil Trinity" who act as an obstacle for the girls to get back home.
Odelia realized that the pendant that she got from La Llorona was a magic pendant that can grant them five wishes.

Answer: Go Classical. You may not want to go to a symphony concert, but the soothing sounds of classical orchestra music seem to increase mood and productivity, which makes it great for studying.
Explanation:March is Music in Our Schools Month, which was created to increase awareness of the importance of music in student’s lives.
“Music has the potential to take a person from the Beta brainwave state to deeper Alpha, and then Theta brainwave states, depending on the music,” explained Dr. Masha Godkin, a professor in the Department of Marriage and Family Sciences at Northcentral University.
“Music activates both the left and right brain at the same time, and the activation of both hemispheres can maximize learning and improve memory,” says Dr. Masha Godkin
According to Godkin, it's good to stick with classical music. One reason this genre works well is that there are no lyrics to distract you.

identify the inflection of the verb occured
Answers
Answer:
where is it
Explanation:
Answer:
The verb occurred is Past tense.
Explanation:
Past tense verbs indicate actions or events that occurred in the past. They can be either regular or irregular. When a past tense verb is regular, they are formed with the verb root (or base form) of a verb plus the "d" or "ed" ending; and when it is irregular, the verb does not end with "d" or "ed" and does not follow any particular patter, for example, thought, known, sat, and slept are all irregular verbs.
The verb "occurred" is a regular verb in the past tense because it is formed with the base form "occur" plus the "ed" ending. Other examples of regular verbs in the past are purred, believed, typed, walked and moved.

Answers
Answer:
Henry is deserving of being called courageous because he went out to fight in the war. He should not forgive himself for initially fleeing the battle and abandoning the tattered soldier because the tattered soldier was undeserving of being abandoned. Henry's bravery at the end does in part make up for his mistakes because he is brave enough to do what is right, so that does make up for some of the mistakes that he has made.

Read this short passage and answer the question below:
Excerpt from The Little Mermaid
By Hans Christian Andersen
"Come, little sister," said the other princesses; then they entwined their arms and rose up in a long row to the surface of the water, close by the spot where they knew the prince's palace stood. It was built of bright yellow shining stone, with long flights of marble steps, one of which reached quite down to the sea. Splendid gilded cupolas rose over the roof, and between the pillars that surrounded the whole building stood life-like statues of marble. Through the clear crystal of the lofty windows could be seen
noble rooms, with costly silk curtains and hangings of tapestry; while the walls were covered with beautiful paintings which were a pleasure to look at. In the center of the largest saloon a fountain threw its sparkling jets high up into the glass cupola of the ceiling, through which the sun shone down upon the water and upon the beautiful plants growing round the basin of the fountain. Now that she knew where he lived, she spent many an evening and many a night on the water near the palace. She would swim much nearer the shore than any of the others ventured to do; indeed once she went quite up the narrow channel under the marble balcony, which threw a broad shadow on the water. Here she would sit and watch the young prince, who thought himself quite alone in the bright moonlight. She saw him many times of an evening sailing in a pleasant boat, with music playing and flags waving. She peeped out from among the green rushes, and if the wind caught her long silvery-white veil, those who saw it believed it to be a swan, spreading out its wings.
Based on details in the story, the reader can conclude that the little mermaid –
A) cares more about humans than her sisters do
B) loves the beauty of the prince’s palace more than her home
C) is unhappy with her life below the sea
D) is too shy to try and talk to the prince

Select the best description of the knocking, at the end of "The Monkey's Paw." A. Quiet knocking; barely there B. Maniacal laughter with knocks in between cackles C. Knocking with exclamations of "Mom!" and "Dad!" D. Repeated and constant knocking
Answers
Answer:
A. Quiet knocking; barely there
Explanation:
At the end of "The Monkey's Paw" we are introduced to the excerpt "... and at the same moment a knock, so quiet and stealthy as to be scarcely audible, sounded on the front door" which shows that the letter "A" is the correct answer to your question.
"The Monkey's Paw" tells the story of a magical monkey paw that will end up in the hands of the White family. The former owner of the paw says that the object fulfills three wishes, but it is very dangerous, because it always asks for a price to fulfill the wish and the price is always terrible. The Whites, do not care about the warning and ask for 200 pounds, which are granted to the family, after their son is pleaded to death during work and the factory pays this amount as compensation to the family.
Desolate, the Whites ask the monkey's paw to return their son's life and are sparse and fearful when they hear faint and almost inaudible knocks on the front door of the house.
How do the depictions of grief in the Odyssey and "An Ancient Gesture" develop a universal theme? How does Milly use the story of Penelope and Odysseus to convey a modern theme?
Answers
Explanation:
Este mito puede considerarse como uno de los más complejos y más cercanos al ser humano de cuantos legó la Antigüedad griega. Humano, porque Ulises busca, lucha y sufre porque ama, así como el hombre busca, lucha y sufre porque ama. Complejo, porque una multitud de otros personajes, de gran simbolismo, pueblan el escenario de su travesía de retorno al hogar y el terruño. Esos personajes muestran honda humanidad. El viaje de Odiseo puede calificarse de "itinerario humano", pues al menos 28 encrucijadas a las que puede verse enfrentado el hombre en su vida son superadas por Odiseo. Además de ser éste un mito complejo, ha demostrado ser abierto, pues ha permitido a muchos escritores aprovechar sus elementos esenciales o basarse en alguno de ellos. Por nombrar sólo algunos, se recuerda a Ovidio, Dante, Du Bellay, Tennyson, Joyce, Kazantzakis, Seferis.

Angelica Baggins had considered not attending the party, but curiosity got the better of her. When she arrived, Bilbo himself presented her with a gift, an intricate gold bracelet. Angelica nodded haughtily at Bilbo and strolled into the party without so much as a "thank you." While the other hobbits praised Bilbo's lavish gifts, Angelica seethed inwardly. The bracelet was insignificant when compared with the inheritance that Bilbo planned to bestow on Frodo. Angelica deserved more—much more. From what point of view is this story told? First-person point of view second-person point of view limited third-person point of view omniscient third-person point of view
Answers
Answer:
Limited third-person point of view.
Explanation:
The third-person limited point of view is when the narrative voice is in the third person form and has access to just one character's thoughts and emotions. Aside from that one person, he has no access to what the other characters may be thinking or feeling.
Considering the given passage, the narrator seems to know everything about the scene. He states that "Angelica Baggins had considered not attending the party" while also adding that "Angelica seethed inwardly" at the mere trinket gift. The narrative follows Angelica and her thoughts, focusing only on her and her feelings at the party. This is an example of a limited third-person narrative voice.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:
C. Limited third-person point of view.
