Explanation:

Literacy in its broadest sense describes "particular ways of thinking about and doing reading and writing"[1] with the purpose of understanding or expressing thoughts or ideas in written form in some specific context of use.[2] In other words, humans in literate societies have sets of practices for producing and consuming writing, and they also have beliefs about these practices.[3] Reading, in this view, is always reading something for some purpose; writing is always writing something for someone for some particular ends.[4] Beliefs about reading and writing and its value for society and for the individual always influence the ways literacy is taught, learned, and practiced over the lifespan.[5]

Some researchers suggest that the history of interest in the concept of “literacy” can be divided into two periods. Firstly is the period before 1950, when literacy was understood solely as alphabetical literacy (word and letter recognition). Secondly is the period after 1950, when literacy slowly began to be considered as a wider concept and process, including the social and cultural aspects of reading and writing,[6] and functional literacy (Dijanošić, 2009).[7]

What does the author talk about doing in the poem “Birthright” and what is the mood of the poem?

iren2701 [21]

The correct answer to what the author is talking about doing in the poem “Birthright” and what the mood of the poem is would be B. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is thoughtful.

When the author says that "We talked once of driving all the remote gravel roads, writing from here and there", "Today I am wondering about those unwritten drafts" and "But where could we travel and not long for the ache of wind blowing over open land?", she conveys that she wishes to drive all the remote gravel roads, exploring new places and experiences. Yet, the mood in her poem is thoughtful, because she talks about her family, her homeland and her ancestors. "You, the eventual heir to your family’s homestead; and me, an Indian woman who leases her land to white men made up of the same storm and grit and hunger as your grandfather", she says, moreover "Would we have listened and turned the far east or south and left behind the land our families have lived on for generations?", expressing her absorbing thoughts and also showing consideration for her hometown and family. Therefore, the correct answer is B. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is thoughtful.

The correct answer couldn't be A. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is happy because her mood is not happy. When she says "Could they have predicted the severity of this drought, would they have spoken to our own landscape, one of anger, sympathy and remorse", the author shows that she is reflecting about deep and difficult things, thus, her mood is not really happy. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be A. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is happy.

The correct answer couldn't be C. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is dark because she doesn't discuss taking over the family business in any part of the poem. On the contrary, she says that she should "abandon this place". Hence, the correct answer couldn't be C. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is dark.

The correct answer couldn't be D. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is thoughtful, because of the same explanation given previously; the author doesn't discuss taking over the family business, on the contrary. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is thoughtful.

Comonlit - The Guilty Party - PART A: Which of the following sentences best characterizes the street where kids play?

Natalija [7]

The sentence that best characterizes the street where kids play is;

It is an evil place that corrupts youths with poor habits.

The description given of the street where the kids played is that of a dangerous environment that was not healthy for raising good kids.

Some of the kids that can be found there were wild and restless. Some were also rude.

Further insight into the condition of the street is seen when Lizzie's mother will not allow her to go play with the kids on the street because 'they play too much there and learn things that are not good for them'.

So, we can conclude that the environment was not a healthy one. It was evil and corruptive.
