I stood against the far wall of the shabby lobby avoiding eye contact with the doorman as my dad checked us in for the night. We’d hoped to make it as far as Scranton, but the weather had interfered, leaving us instead at an eyesore of a truck-stop motel. My ear buds were jammed in as far as comfort would allow in a vain attempt to block out the motel’s vibe. Still, I could not ignore the looming presence of the doorman. He stood in the dim portico, sweeping and re-sweeping a pile of lint on the floor, watching the parking lot with his watery eyes, and occasionally signaling to the whiskered clerk behind the desk.

Why did Americans lose interest in Romanticism and Transcendentalism?

Answers

Americans lose interest in Romanticism and Transcendentalism because people stopped learning about them.

Romanticism refers to the movement that originated in the late 18th century which emphasized subjectivity, primacy, and inspiration from individuals.

Transcendentalism focused on the adherence to an idealistic system of thought. Romanticism and Transcendentalism were vital as individuals were able to get inspiration from nature. Transcendentalism was known to be a reaction against the overpowering dogma and religious traditions.

In the end, people lost interest and then stopped learning about them.

His countenance was thoroughly good-humoured; and his manners were as friendly as the style of his letter. Their arrival seemed to afford him real satisfaction,

them so cordially to dine at Barton Park every day till they were better settled at home, that, though his entreaties were carried to a point of perseverance
beyond civility, they could not give offence. His kindness was not confined to words; for within an hour after he left them, a large basket full of garden stuff and
fruit arrived from the park, which was followed before the end of the day by a present of game. He insisted, moreover, on conveying all their letters to and from the

One example of a Compound sentence and Complex sentence

Answers

Answer:

EX Compound Sentence: I really need to go to work, but I am too sick to drive.

EX Complex sentence: My Dad laughed when I told a joke.

Explanation:

A Compound sentences have more than one subject and more than one verb. They are two complete thoughts joined by a punctuation mark, usually a semicolon or a conjunction.

A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, but a dependent clause even though it has a subject and a verb cannot stand alone.

Using a dictionary, look up the meaning of the word "average." In a few sentences, describe the differences in meaning you found. In what subject might you expect to hear each version of the word?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The word "average" can be represented as a number, meaning a central value, in the middle of two measures, or meaning the sum of several numbers, divided by the total of those numbers. At this point, the word "average" can also be considered as an adjective, as it has the ability to characterize something or someone.

Finally, this word can also behave like a verb, representing a central value that a given system must achieve in a given period of time.

Answer:

Definition 1: a number expressing the typical or central value in a set of data

                  * I would expect to see this definition in Mathematics.

Definition 2: The apportionment of financial liability resulting from loss of or damage to a ship or its cargo

                  * I would expect to see this definition used in History or Finance classes.

Definition 3: constituting the result obtained by adding together several quantities and then dividing this total by the total number of existing quantities.

                  * I would expect to see this definition in Mathematics.

Definition 4: achieve or amount to as an average rate or amount over a period of time

                  * I would expect to see this definition in English, Math, History, or Science. Any academics course could work with this because it measures over a period of time.

Create ONE original post that: Shares the predictions and revisions you made while reading the blog, "Veterans Appreciate Our Gratitude" . Cites specific information from the text that caused you to revise predictions as you read. Explains how making predictions affected your focus while reading.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The text shows how war veterans deserve the gratitude and consideration of their countrymen for all they have done in defense of the country, however, gratitude is not enough for the veterans to live well, since they do not receive government assistance when they return home and end up suffering from unemployment and low quality of life.

The text predictions changed my experience and focus on reading. This is because, I predicted that the text talked about how we have to respect veterans and although the text reinforces this idea, it extends it, showing that respect and gratitude go beyond feeling, but must be shown with actions too.

These predictions come from the title of the text, showing us how important it is to be grateful for those who defend us.

In the last section of her essay, the author describes how her mother polished her grandmother's shoes on the day she had to a nursing home. The grandmother "left her house walking, supported by her children, carrying her pocket book, and wearing her polished black shoes." Explain why this story is significant to the author.

Story: Growing Up Asian in America

Answers

Answer:

This story is significant for the author because he can see the family uniting in taking his grandmother, lined up and tidy, to the nursing home, being supported by those she supported, her children.

Explanation:

"Growing Up Asian in America" is reinforcing the role of the family in establishing self-recognition in a culture and in a people. This shows how the family has an important weight in each person's life, especially at the moment, when each individual is more fragile. This family concept is touching for the author when he sees the whole family helping to take his grandmother to a nursing home. The grandmother supported the children when they needed it and now it is her turn to receive their support.

Answer:

This story is significant to the author because during it she saw how her mother and relatives worked in unison to help and provide support for her grandmother who lived in her own home, but who also could no longer live alone. That is, they made sure she felt cared for and not forgotten, which must have made this transition in her life much easier to cope with. The text implies the author's grandmother perhaps accepted this change rather quickly and did not really resist as many other elderly people do. These people (from what I have heard) feel like they lose control over their lives and are abandoned by their children at these nursing homes, where they think that they only leave when they die. It is really quite sad when you think about it. However, this family made sure this women didn’t feel this way, and the author took note of it. Especially her mother's actions during this time, which truly conveyed her values and further helped to develop the the author’s description of her identity as a Japanese American women.

Explanation:

This is what I answered in my exam, I derived my answer from what I learned through out the essay on how the author ( Noda) viewed her mother and how this came to be in the section that was under "I am a Japanese American women". Her mother's actions in response to what was happening to Noda's grandmother really impacted Noda and on her perspective of Japanese women. So, well, she included this story in her essay, which also helped support one of her purposes ( her reason for writing), that is to reach acceptance with her own identity as a Japanese American woman. This is really important because at first Noda saw her mother as "a figure in whom I thought I saw all that I feared most in my self", which was fitting into the stereotype of Japanese people being only silent and passive.

I know its a long response, but I hope this helps you :)

You've created a new programming language, and now you've decided to add hashmap support to it. Actually you are quite disappointed that in common programming languages it's impossible to add a number to all hashmap keys, or all its values. So you've decided to take matters into your own hands and implement your own hashmap in your new language that has the following operations:insert x y - insert an object with key x and value y.get x - return the value of an object with key x.addToKey x - add x to all keys in map.addToValue y - add y to all values in map.To test out your new hashmap, you have a list of queries in the form of two arrays: queryTypes contains the names of the methods to be called (eg: insert, get, etc), and queries contains the arguments for those methods (the x and y values).Your task is to implement this hashmap, apply the given queries, and to find the sum of all the results for get operations.ExampleFor queryType = ["insert", "insert", "addToValue", "addToKey", "get"] and query = [[1, 2], [2, 3], [2], [1], [3]], the output should be hashMap(queryType, query) = 5.The hashmap looks like this after each query:1 query: {1: 2}2 query: {1: 2, 2: 3}3 query: {1: 4, 2: 5}4 query: {2: 4, 3: 5}5 query: answer is 5The result of the last get query for 3 is 5 in the resulting hashmap.For queryType = ["insert", "addToValue", "get", "insert", "addToKey", "addToValue", "get"] and query = [[1, 2], [2], [1], [2, 3], [1], [-1], [3]], the output should be hashMap(queryType, query) = 6.The hashmap looks like this after each query:1 query: {1: 2}2 query: {1: 4}3 query: answer is 44 query: {1: 4, 2: 3}5 query: {2: 4, 3: 3}6 query: {2: 3, 3: 2}7 query: answer is 2The sum of the results for all the get queries is equal to 4 + 2 = 6.Input/Output[execution time limit] 4 seconds (py3)[input] array.string queryTypeArray of query types.
