Author Zadie Smith’s best-selling debut novel, White Teeth, published in 2000, explores cultural, racial, and religious identity

through a diverse cast of multiethnic and multinational characters.
Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

"We are so convinced of the goodness of ourselves, and the goodness of our love, we cannot bear to believe that there might be something more worthy of love than us, more worthy of worship. Greeting cards routinely tell us everybody deserves love. No. Everybody deserves clean water. Not everybody deserves love all the time."

In about 100 words, discuss the meaning Smith intends in the excerpt and how satire is used to develop that theme.

The excerpt shows that there are elements that are necessary for humans, but they are forgotten by those who have them in abundance, such as water.

<h3>How does that establish satire?</h3>
  • The author ridicules human sensitivity, showing how insensitive human beings are.
  • The author criticizes the excessive importance that humans place on themselves.
  • The author criticizes human negligence toward people who are really in need.

A satire is a quick, acidic, sarcastic, and humorous criticism of society. This criticism is made of behaviors common in society, which are not negative and which cause bad results.

The author shows satire in the excerpt shown above, by criticizing the insensibility of human beings towards people who are in real need, such as people who do not have access to water, for example. This insensitivity occurs in people who behave in very sensitive ways, demanding love and attention as something necessary for their lives.

Answer this question in three to four sentences. How can a participant in a group discussion be an effective speaker?
Inessa [10]

A participant in a group discussion can be an effective speaker by remaining concise and speaking on the same level as the other participants so as not to confuse them. The participants can also ask for feedback and ask if they need to clarify anything so the listeners are able to get the most out of the discussion. A speaker should also always come prepared and bringing notes and guidelines. I hope I helped!

Identifying Theme
inna [77]

Answer:

It is important to have someone you can share your feelings with. This is a theme of the play, because Anne seems to enjoy her conversations with Peter. She does not get along with the adults as well. Anne says it helps to "let off steam" with someone else, and Peter says she can let off steam with him anytime. When Anne says, "Do you mean it?" she acts as though she will take him up on the offer.
