““When I look back on my childhood, I wonder how I survived at all,” the book’s second paragraph begins in a famous passage. “It was, of course, a miserable childhood: The happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood. “People everywhere brag and whimper about the woes of their early years, but nothing can compare with the Irish version: the poverty; the shiftless loquacious alcoholic father; the pious defeated mother moaning by the fire; pompous priests; bullying schoolmasters; the English and all the terrible things they did to us for 800 long years.”” Question 15 options: a) He is connecting with his readers over the shared misery that is the Irish experience. b) He is including a sample from Angela’s Ashes since he knows that not many people will have read it before. c) He is including it because Angela’s Ashes is his favorite book. d) He wants to sample some of McCourt’s best-known work while also giving a portrait of his younger years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

It sounds like the right answer for the passage. I choose A because In the irish part he includes " And all the terrible things they did to us for 800 long years." Which makes it sound like he had a irish childhood.

Answer 2
It’s A he is connecting with his readers over the shared misery of Irish childhood

In Anna Sewell’s novel Black Beauty, the narrator’s master is a good and kind man. Which sentence in this excerpt reflects this trait through indirect characterization? Our master was a good, kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging, and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little children. We were all fond of him, and my mother loved him very much. When she saw him at the gate she would neigh with joy, and trot up to him. He would pat and stroke her and say, "Well, old Pet, and how is your little Darkie?" I was a dull black, so he called me Darkie; then he would give me a piece of bread, which was very good, and sometimes he brought a carrot for my mother. All the horses would come to him, but I think we were his favorites. My mother always took him to the town on a market day in a light gig.

2. What major life experiences/events have played a significant role in the molding of Dorothy's personality? (List two events and give examples from the text, explaining how each event shaped the character.)

Answers

Answer:

In The Wizard of Oz, characters like Glinda the Good Witch represent the mother archetype because she looks out for Dorothy, and Toto represent the trickster, because he is always creating problems. ... Toto also causes the Cowardly Lion to growl at him, causing Dorothy to hit the Lion on the nose.

Glenda the good witch - represents the mother because she helps to take care of D and to keep her safe and on the right path.  

Toto  - he is the tricky one and always creating problems for D.  

Lion - He is a coward - really?  He just has no self - esteem.  Not only is D able to instill in him that he is not a coward, but that she is not a coward either.  By encouraging him, she is really encouraging herself.

Tin Man - He has so much love to give, but does not have a heart.  He helps D realize that treating others with kindness and being good and helping others - as D does frequently - is all about having a big heart full of love.  

Scarecrow - No brain.  But he comes to realize with D's help that he is smart and that he has potential to be whatever he wants to be - even if it is to scare crows away from the fields he protects.  

Explanation:

Self sufficiency  - all of these characters want external things to magically make them what they think they need to be - when in reality, they all have what they need inside of themselves - including D.

Hope this helps a little.....

Answer:

In the beginning of the story, Dorothy is unhappy with her life and wishes to be somewhere else. She thinks that if she could find a new place to live, all her problems would be solved. Page 96 in the text says,  “Dorothy had thought of running away from home because she felt she did not really fit in on the farm. She knew Auntie Em loved her, but she still felt like a stranger out here in the countryside, and longed to be someplace that had no real problems, someplace ‘over the rainbow’ where the sky was always blue. She thought she could solve her loneliness by going to a different place.” But that all changes once a tornado hits the farm and sends her into The Land Of Oz. On her journey, she meets three of her current friends, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion...

1.) Scarecrow was the first one Dorothy had met, which was in a cornfield with Scarecrow stuck on a wooden pole. When listening to Scarecrow, "My life has been so short that I really know nothing whatever," he tells Dorothy. "I was only made day before yesterday. What happened in the world before that time is unknown to me" (4.12). He came into existence when a farmer painted on his eyes, ears, and mouth. Thing was, his first day out on the cornfield didn't go well in the slightest. A crow made fun of him for not having any brains, and Scarecrow took it very very personally.

2.) Tin Man was the second character that Dorothy came in contact who went with her to the Wizard of Oz. When listening to the Tin Man, she heard his quite disturbing backstory. He was once a human who had an axe, but it was cursed by an evil witch. That caused him to chop off all of his own limbs, one by one. A metal worker who loves nearby was able to rebuild him out of tin, but the whole experience left him so angry and dissatisfied, he lost the love of his life and has been in the woods ever since the tragedy. To make matters worse, a year before Dorothy and the Scarecrow found him in the woods, he got caught in a rainstorm and rusted into place, unable to move due to all the rust on his joints. During that long and painful year, he had a lot of time to think on love and loss, and now the Tin Woodman wants, (or as he says, needs) a heart. He's tired of not being able to show emotions (not true!) and loosing his loved ones. He wants to love again.

3.) Lion was the last companion Dorothy had come across, and he made a bad first impression of biting Scarecrow! "You are nothing but a big coward," she tells him. "I know it," says the lion. "I've always known it. But how can I help it" (6.11-6.12). "Being a coward is my great sorrow, and makes my life very unhappy," he tells Dorothy. "But whenever there is danger my heart begins to beat fast" (6.26). As a male lion, he is supposed to show dominance and be brave, and be the king of the forest, but to him he believes he is more of a fraud than a ruler. "I am terribly afraid of falling, myself," he tells them. (but then continues to jump the large ditch with his three friends on his back)"

When she comes into account with the Wicked Witch, Dorothy is frightened and wishes her friends from the farm were there to help her. After experienceing that, she started to reconsider how "great" home was, and makes her reconsider that maybe her life wasn't all that bad after all. Dorothy's ultimate. statement is when she says "There is no place like home; There is no place like home" (p. 320). Once Dorothy returned home, her attitude was different and she now appreciated the farm and her Aunt and Uncle so much more, after realizing that her life wasn't the bad she thought it to be.

After arriving in the Land of Oz, meeting everyone, listening to her three friends, helping others, having others help her, all of those things changed her perspective on things that were going on around her and at home! Especially meeting Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion, and going up against the Wicked Witch! Everything in the movie/book changed the way she thought and saw alot of things, especially with her farm. Dorothy wanted to run away, but after meeting everyone in Oz, those thoughts were gone and everything changed for the better, and made her realize that her life is not all that bad!

Alice wants to make a text-to-self connection to the setting in a text. What question should she ask about the setting?

Answers

Answer:

How is she able to connect the setting to her own settings to be able to do the text to self

She asks about the setting with the light of day fading, one light on the court, and shadows on the dark surface. Thus, options A, B, and C are correct.

What is the setting?

The setting is the process of bringing a poem, story, or drama to life in your "mind's eye." You visualize things as they happen in your head. The other learning methods you are learning will benefit from the setting.

To visualize anything in order to understand it, we must create mental images based on the events of a tale.

She inquires about the scene, which includes fading daylight, one lighting on the floor, and shades on the pitch-black floor. Reading comprehension relies on the reader's ability to visualize the text as if they were watching a movie which allows them to comprehend it more deeply and target great memory.

Therefore, option A, B, and C is the correct option.

Answers

Answer:

Glinda - the good witch is like a mother to her, caring for her along the way.  Guiding her but allowing her to make decisions on her own and to learn from her own mistakes.

Tin-Man - He had a very big heart even though he really never had literal heart.  He was good and compassionate and had been this way all along, but he never could realize his potential to love.

Lion - He was afraid, just like Dorothy was afraid.  She encouraged him to have courage - and at the same time, she encouraged herself.  

Scarecrow - he was good and kind and knew that he did not want to spend his life scaring people.  He wanted to have friends and to be loving to others.  D helped him realize his potential of being kind and good and loving along the way and she learned her own ability to love and to be loved.

You have to remember that these "people" were searching for something all along the way and in reality they had these special characteristics all along.  You could assume that they had to go through turmoil and hard times to literally see the good - but, they had the ability all along to love, be smart, and to not be afraid.  

It is also cool to note that the wizard was really not a wizard in his own eyes.  He also felt that he could not measure up to what was expected of him.  He had this idea that he had to be great, powerful, scary, and rule with an iron hand.  He did not.  He realized that he could help others by just being himself and being good.

There is good in everyone :)  We just have to find it.
