I'm traveling to the United States for the first time. What do you know about manners in the U.S.? What tips do you have about b

Ivenika [448]

Explanation:

Eye Contact is key. But don't stare

Table Manners : When dining, people consider it not nice for a guest or dining partner to burp , eat with an open mouth.

When you want to refuse something politely say, " No Thank You. "

When accepting say, " Yes Please. "

Always say thank you when someone helps you out ( common knowledge )

When entering/leaving : ( stores, etc..) When the staff or anyone say "Welcome" or "Hello" , always say "Hello" back or it will make you look like you are ignoring them. Same goes to when you are leaving :)

Phone Calls : this one is important because when someone calls you and you start talking loudly or put them on speaker in public, it looks r u d e to the people beside you. They don't need to know what your private life is. I've had this happen a couple of times and its very uncomfortable.

Paraphin [41]

In Doctor Faustus's obituary, you could include that he became a Doctor at the University of Wittenburg due to his intelligence, that he had already excelled in every subject (law, medicine, etc.) so he began to experiment with magic, and that he devoted his last days to giving a speech about his foolish pact with Lucifer, seemingly warning other scholars against his own faults.

_____ is a characteristic of realism. honest portrayal exaggeration melodrama romanticized life experience

melisa1 [442]

The correct option is “honest portrayal”. Realism is an artistic style that emerged in the 19th century in France, especially in painting and writing. The main purpose of realism is to portray accurately real life and places. Realism is opposed to the Romantic movement so the option “romanticized life experience” is not a characteristic of realism. Exaggeration and melodrama are not related to Realism since it depicts reality in a detailed and honest perspective.

Anton [14]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

From "How I Learned English" by Gregory Djanikian.

Someone said "shin” again,

There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,

A kicking of feet, and the fit

Of laughter overtook me too,

And that was important, as important

As Joe Barone asking me how I was

Through his tears, picking me up

And dusting me off with hands like swatters,

And though my head felt heavy,

I played on till dusk

This excerpt shows that the speaker no longer feels like an outsider because

A. he enjoys a funny moment with the other boys.

B. he becomes a better baseball player.

C. he learns how to correctly use English words.

D. he allows the other boys to make fun of him.

Answer:

The excerpt shows that the speaker no longer feels like an outsider because:

A. he enjoys a funny moment with the other boys.

Explanation:

Gregory Djanikian tells the story of how he felt included by having a funny moment with the other kids from the neighborhood. A foreigner, Djanikian was absolutely lost during a baseball game, not only for not knowing how to play, but also for not being fluent in English. After being hit in the forehead by the ball, Djanikian exclaims, "Oh my shin." The other kids laugh at him for using the wrong word, but they also show compassion and empathy, helping him get up and dusting him off.

Why does Gordimer mention her house being above a mine in the story Once Upon a Time by Nadine Gordimer

Nat2105 [25]

Gordimer was granted the privileges extended to people of her race: white. She fought against the terribly unfair treatments in the South. The mine in Gordimer's story is a symbol for black labor. The traveling worker labor system made sure of a constant stream of colored mine workers who were forced to work in bad conditions in areas away from cities and work in the mines.

Simpler answer: The house sitting on top of the gold mine represents the white culture that was built on the work and labor of the colored servant class from South Africa.

An extra fact is that Gordimer say's her house settles and makes creaking noises even when noone is present as a symbol and foreshadowing.
