Artemon [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

She said she<u> was wearing</u> her sister's jacket.​

Explanation:

Reported speech involves shifting the tense back to the past. In that matter, the Present Continuous turns into Past Continuous in reported speech. Thus, in the sentence given, in direct speech, the verb <em>'m wearing</em> becomes <em>was wearing</em> in reported speech.

Apart from changes in verb tenses, other words such as pronouns, demonstratives and adverb phrases also change in reported speech. For example, <em>my sister</em> is reported as <em>her sister</em>.

Which three quotations from the passage best show that the townspeople will continue with their old lives after George leaves to
kogti [31]

The three quotations that best show that the townspeople shall continue with their old lives after George leaves are :

  • "Beyond the last house on Trunion Pike in Winesburg, there is a great stretch of open fields."
  • “On the station platform, everyone shook the young man’s hand. More than a dozen people waited about. Then they talked of their own affairs.”
  • “In two words she voiced what everyone felt. ‘Good luck,’ she said sharply and then turning went on her way.”

<u>Explanation:</u>

The short story, Departure, by Sherwood Anderson, tries to depict the life and habits of people from small towns. It tells about changes, even though hoped for and wished for, at times do not happen if there is no action taken by the people.

The story tells about George, who is probably the first person to pursue his dreams and is going to move out of the town to go to the big city.

As he gets ready to leave his town, he encounters and realizes how certain things about the town will always remain the same.

Like the filed that stretches behind the last house, which has to offer the same view throughout any season. This makes the town and its people used to the same kind of nature that is there in the town.

One of his friends, who rushes to wish him good luck does so by saying so and turning back to leave for her usual life. Even though she too had aspirations to grow and succeed in life, she was not able to do it like George and accepted her way of mundane life in the town.

Lastly, people who came to see off George at the station, ultimately tuned to talk about their affairs, suggesting that they have nothing else to share other than their trivial things.

Thus, these quotations show that life in the town shall remain the same.

In which Unferth, one of Hrothgar's warriors, addresses Beowulf.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Read this excerpt from Beowulf, in which Unferth, one of Hrothgar's warriors, addresses Beowulf. Art thou that Beowulf with Breca did struggle, On the wide sea-currents at swimming contended, Where to humor your pride the ocean ye tried, 'Twas mere folly that actuated you both to risk your lives on the ocean.

I need help putting together a thesis statement for, "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" by Flannery O'Connor. So far, the thesis state
Elis [28]
ADVISE : First off, never start your thesis statement off like " i'm going to tell you" or " In this." you want to grab the reader, and make the reader want to read more. You could start your thesis with a quote from O'Conner or a random quote about your subject. This tends to grab the reader, if they like the quote. You may also start your your thesis with a question that you may think people will have about the short story, or you had  while reading the short story, you MUST answer this question in your writing though. Secondly, try not to make your thesis so long, this may lead the reader to bordome, but also dot make your thesis to short
