Read the following quote. What do you think it means? Do you agree or disagree with the speaker? We teach girls shame... We make

them feel as though by being born female they're already guilty of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who cannot see they have desire. They grow up to be women who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who cannot say what they truly think, and they grow up -- and this is the worst thing we did to girls -- they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form. Note: Pretense is defined as attempting to make something that is false true. Meaning they lie in order to make something true, or they are faking their emotions, feelings, wishes. In the space below, write one paragraph (4-6 complete sentences) that explains what you think the quote means. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker? Provide your response with opinions or examples to support your explanation.

I think this quote is explaining how girls are taught from the beginning, shame. When girls turn into women, they believe they must be quiet, they must be happy, and they must be perfect. I disagree with this quote for this generation. I believe that we have broken through those previous barriers and are now teaching women strength, courageousness, and the power to be ourselves. I do agree with the line, "they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.". From my experience, I believe that women cannot have the same emotions as men, because it may come across different. A powerful woman is seen as snarky or rude, whereas a powerful man is admired.

Gekata [30.6K]

The irony lies in the fact that the summoner was a corrupt man and that he acted only on his behalf.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The summoner acted like a Christian and honorable man, but was extremely corrupt.
  • He permitted any wrongdoing as long as he got a bottle of wine in return.
  • In this case, the summoner allows the forgiveness of people's sins, if they can please him with something.

In this case, the narrator shows that the image of a corrupt summoner is ironic, but more common than it sounds.

Which revision below most effectively uses transition words to create coherence?
Lera25 [3.4K]

The revision which effectively used transition words to create coherence is A. Begin by heating the oil on high in a cast-iron skillet, Then, season the pork with cumin and salt.

Next, brown the pork in the skillet on all sides. After that, pour chicken broth and lime juice into a slow-cooker.

Follow up by adding the pork to the broth and the juice in the cooker. When the broth, juice, and pork are in the cooker, then put the onion, garlic, and chiles into the hot oil in the skillet.

Once the vegetables are in the skillet, sauté them. When the onion, garlic, and chiles are sautéed, transfer them to the slow-cooker that has the pork, broth, and lime juice already in it.

After the meat, the vegetables, and the liquids are in the slow-cooker, cover the cooker with the lid.

Finally, cook all of the ingredients on low until they are all tender.

<h3>What is a transition word?</h3>

This is also known as linking words shows the relationship between paragraphs or sections of a text or speech and is a tool for connecting ideas.

A transition word example is <em>'and', 'but', 'so'</em>, and<em> 'because'. </em>

A good paragraph makes a clear connection between sentences and ideas, both within and between paragraphs.

Coherence is a systematic or logical connection or consistency, and this is achieved using three strategies:

  • Transition within paragraphs.
  • Transition between paragraphs and
  • Transitional paragraphs.

Hence, the highlighted words above showed the transition words which made for the revision have a good coherence for an effective understanding.

Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

A. The simile compares the poison to a fast-moving, toxic element, emphasizing its deadliness.

Explanation:

The ghost doesn't compare the uncle to poison. Nor does he personify the vial. He is literally explaining how the uncle poisoned him by poured the poisonous plant hebona into his ear. Lastly, an apostrophe in literature is when you address someone who isn't there. The ghost isn't addressing the uncle. I believe he is speaking to Hamlet in this scene.
