Answer:

John is not Gabriel’s biological son.

Explanation:

James Baldwin's short story "The Rockpile" tells the story of a family who had been living in poverty. The main plot of the story revolves around a father's biased treatment of his children with that of his wife's son from another man.

John was the eldest of his siblings, "<em>an alterable testimony to his mother's days in sin</em>". The rest of the children were the legitimate off-springs of Gabriel and his wife while only John had been born from another man. S, when he saw that Roy had been hurt badly, he began to get angry at his wife's son. He had always treated his own bloodline differently to John, who, to him was a result of some sin. Thus, he treats him differently as he wasn't his biological son.

The dependent variable in the experiment is the time taken for the blocks to hit the ground.

Every experiment must have a dependent variable and an independent variable.

The experiment seeks to determine the effect of changes in the independent variable on the dependent variable. Hence, the independent variable is changed and the effect of this change on the dependent variable is monitored throughout the experiment. In this case, the independent variable is the mass of the blocks while the dependent variable is the time takes the block to hit the ground.

Experimentation is defined as trying something new or testing a theory. One example of experimentation is when trying out new hairstyles. An example of an experiment might be completing a project in a laboratory with test tubes and chemicals to try to better understand chemical reactions. Experiments play an important role in the development of science because they are used to test the reality of thought. Take an axiom or phenomenon that has a rationale and transform it into a law or a theorem like Newton's Law.

in the poem "this morning (for the girls of eastern high school) The term "jungle girl" is best understood to refer to the girls
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The term "jungle girl" refers to the girl's personality as somebody who is active.

This term is a<em> metaphor</em> since it describes the<em> African-American girl (Lucille Clifton) </em>in the poem as a<u> "jungle girl</u>" although she is not from the jungle. This simply refers to her "active nature."

Explanation:

Lucille Clifton was an <em>American poet</em> who grew up in an<u><em> African-American life</em></u>. Most of her works, such as the poem "This morning," focuses on her life and family experience. The essence of the poem focuses on <em>how Lucille finally found herself even in the midst of a different society.</em> It also shows her <u>appreciation for her own identity.</u>

Explain any three areas affected by westernization.​
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Technology, Institutions, Ideology, and values.

Explanation:

1. Technology:

The new and large scale industries introduced by the British exposed the average Indian to the influence of Western Technology. The widespread use of the western technology led to the process of industrialization. The process of industrialization is normally associated with the growth of towns and cities which started attracting people from the rural areas. Cities provided a favourable atmosphere for the spread of western influence. Technology led to the development in the fields of Communication, Post and Telegraph, Telephone and Radio, Railways, Roadways, etc.,

2. New Institutions:

Westernization brought about changes in institutional systems also.  For example a. In the place of Traditional Educational Institutions, the western type of formal educational Institutions such as Schools, Colleges, Technical Institutes, Research Centres, Universities, etc., got established. English became the medium of instruction in these Institutions and gained prominence. It also served to spread the English culture, b. In the place of Traditional caste panchayats, the modem law, legislation, court, police, and other legal systems came to stay. c. The modem capitalist mode of Economy gave a fatal blow to the erstwhile Jajmani System. New Commercial Establishments, banks, and new accounting system came into practice. d. New institutional arrangements such as Social Welfare Schemes, Life insurance schemes, Social security schemes, etc., were introduced in order to provide protection and security to people where ever required.

3. Ideology and Values:

Westernization implies certain value preferences also. Humanitarianism, Rationalism, Egalitarianism, and Secularism are associated with westernization. These ideologies and values had a great impact on Indians. They changed the traditional attitudes and outlook of the people. Western ideologies and values provided inspiration for social reform movements, such as Brahma Samaja, Arya Samaja, Ramakrishna Mission.

what best describes the literary device employed in this from excerpt from Ha Jin "the bane of the internet".
ValentinkaMS [17]

I would say, Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..
