The Upside Down Boy, a poem by award-winning poet Juan Felipe Herrera, tells the touching tale of the year his immigrant family settled down so he could start school for the first time. Juanito is perplexed by the new school and yearns for the convenience of rural life. He always appears to do things backwards.

Juanito, who recently relocated from the countryside, finds his new school to be perplexing. He walks outside to play at lunch and eats his meal during recess. When he tries to talk in English, his tongue feels like a rock. His actions seem retrograde in every way. Through poetry, art, and music, a sympathetic instructor and Juanito's loving family help him discover his voice.

I’m the short story “Everyday Use,” by Alice Walker why does the narrator think Maggie will appreciate the quilts more than Dee

White raven [17]

Maggie is a more traditional person than Dee. While Dee is away at school Maggie is the one at home. The guilt represents the African American experience because it is a piece of uniform that their Grandfather used to wear during the Civil War. Dee wants to take the quilt for public display, but the narrator prefers to give it to Maggie, who will wear it as a symbol of taking on the traditions that come with it and to take on the heritage.

Before there was anything, according to Egyptian mythology, there was an endless expanse of water. What name was given to these

maw [93]

Answer:

The name given to these primordial waters and the being who personified them was Nun.

Explanation:

In Egyptian creational myths, Nun or Nu is the oldest of the gods. He is the embodiment of the waters of chaos, the primeval waters. Nun is the father of Ra, the sun god, who rose from the primeval waters on a hillock and created himself and other gods. In Ancient Egypt, it was believed that Nun was the one who caused the annual flood of the Nile. It was also believed that the primeval waters never ceased to exist and that, each morning, as the Sun rose from the waters, the creation of the ordered cosmos was being reenacted.

Prompt: You have to nominate someone for an award. Who would you nominate for what award

Mnenie [13.5K]

I believe the answer to this is letter A. In the paragraph, we can consider the words the Giving Spirit as the figure of speech. By definition, figure of speech refers to a phrase which has a meaning other than the literal meaning. In this case, the Giving Spirit award does not literally mean giving away her spirit rather it means to sacrifice for others.
