In The House on Mango Street, Cisneros wants readers to recognize that society’s expectations can lead people to feel inferior o

r unworthy about who they are, what they look like, and where they live, and that this humiliation can lead to a loss of control and anguish.
Which two excerpts from the novella work together to develop this overall message?


"I wonder if she made the best with what she got or was she sorry because she couldn’t be all the things she wanted to be. Esperanza. I have inherited her name, but I don’t want to inherit her place by the window."

"But the house on Mango Street is not the way they told it at all. It's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath."

"Shame is a bad thing, you know. It keeps you down. You want to know why I quit school? Because I didn’t have nice clothes. No clothes, but I had brains."

"There. I had to look to where she pointed—the third floor, the paint peeling, wooden bars Papa had nailed on the windows so we wouldn't fall out. You live there? The way she said it made me feel like nothing."

The two excerpts from the novella that work together to develop this overall message are:

  • "Shame is a bad thing, you know. It keeps you down. You want to know why I quit school? Because I didn’t have nice clothes. No clothes, but I had brains."
  • "There. I had to look to where she pointed—the third floor, the paint peeling, wooden bars Papa had nailed on the windows so we wouldn't fall out. You live there? The way she said it made me feel like nothing."

<h3>What is an Overall message?</h3>

An overall message refers to the main message that the writer of a text wants the reader to glean.

The two selected options show how the individuals in question were degraded because of their economic status. They in turn felt belittled by those hurtful remarks. So, options C and D work together to develop the author's overall message.

Which of the following statements is true of the types of coping? A. Problem-focused coping is the best way to cope with the dea
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

D. Problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping cannot be used together in a situation.

Explanation:

Option D is correct, because problem-focused coping involves different strategies or development. These strategies may include, solving the problem oneself, taking help from someone else to solve the problem, detaching oneself from the problem (e.g <em>it's not my problem</em>). These strategies can never help in coping emotional stresses. Strategies to cope emotional stresses may include, distraction (keeping oneself busy in something), emotional disclosure (expressing one's emotions fully by writing or talking to someone), spiritual guidance/attachment (praying, and/or contentment), catharsis (the purification emotions through art) etc.

Option A is not correct because death of family member is an emotional stress (which cannot be solved, but only coped) and not a problem (which can be solved)

Option B is not correct because life's problems are problems (which can be solved), they are not emotions.

Option C is incorrect because emotion-focused coping does give good outcomes, as does problem-focused coping.

Write an argumentative essay on" if you educate a man you educate an individual but if you educate a woman you educate a whole n
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The old African proverb  “If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate a family (nation)” was a pioneer in its time for realizing the importance of women’s education when men predominated education opportunities. This maxim recognized the benefits of education and has repeatedly become the motivation for global development efforts to offer education opportunities for women. Yet, fundamentally this maxim bears problematic assumptions that further disempower women and reinforce patriarchal stereotypes. This essay seeks to unpack the assumptions behind the proverb by viewing how educating women is believed to lead to the development of the family and nation in the context of sub-Saharan Africa, an area still facing low female literacy rates and high gender disparity in the enrolment of formal schooling.
