rodikova [14]3 years ago

In the text, "Everyday Use," we learn that Dee wants to keep the quilts that have been passed down in her family for generations. However, she wants to keep them not because they personally mean something to her, but because she thinks they are interesting cultural items.

One of the characteristics of Dee is that she is quite harsh, and lacks softness or sweetness. However, when she asks for the quilts, she does so in an extremely sweet voice. This fact is included in order to show the reader how false Dee's intentions are, and to reinforce the idea that Dee is asking for the quilts for the wrong reasons.

Answer: Too much empathy impedes proper social functioning and causes increased stress levels.

Explanation:

Empathy is a good attribute as it shows a person is sensitive to those around him and can recognize someone else is going through pain. An empath is able to sense another person's pain and could step in if within his power.

Some however, are hyper-empaths. This condition is characterized by a person loosing themselves in the suffering of others, feeling guilty for the suffering even though the cause had nothing to do with them. This causes them to function less properly socially and could even be breeding a mental breakdown.

Too much empathy simply punishes two parties for the suffering of one person and is of no benefit to both parties involved.

noname [10]
The price of a flower bouquet is $2.75 each based on the information shown in the question above. This problem can be solved using the algebra substitution system between two equations with two different variables (3x+5y=25.75 and 8x+2y=29). First, you have to simplify the second equation to become y=14.5-4x then you can substitute the second equation into the first equation (3x+5(14.5-4x)=25.75).
