Explanation:
Summer is in full swing and with fall just around the corner, schools are busy planning back to school professional development events. Every year, school administrators need to find new ways to motivate and inspire teachers. It's important to start the year with excitement and energy, so below are some thoughts pulled together in a motivational speech that can be borrowed to motivate educators. I am a keynote speaker for over 10 education events per year and I find educators and support staff need inspiration more than ever.
First Person (Central Narrator)
Our trusty narrator is Marguerite Johnson, also known as Maya. No one's surprised—this is an autobiography, after all.
Most of the narrative is written from the perspective of young Maya. And since she begins telling her story at the age of three (and is a very imaginative child), she's not the most reliable narrator. She often forces us to read between the lines: think Bailey Jr. lying to her about Mr. Freeman not begin able to kill him, Momma sending the kids to San Francisco, and Mr. Freeman "mysteriously" turning up dead. Oh, and she also just makes things up, like that whole Momma vs. Dentist Lincoln scenario.
Having said that, adult Angelou gets in a word or two once in a while, too. And there's a big difference between this woman and young Maya. Adult Maya reflects back on her life, and is affected by the experiences that she's had as an adult:
Recently a white woman from Texas, who would quickly describe herself as a liberal, asked me about my hometown. When I told her that in Stamps my grandmother had owned the only Negro general merchandise store since the turn of the century, she exclaimed, "Why you were a debutante." Ridiculous and even ludicrous. (16.1)
Style and voice aside, this is something young Maya couldn't have told us since, well, it hadn't happened to her. So we're glad we have adult Maya to guide us along.
The pairing of adult Angelou and child Maya makes for an interesting ride. It allows us to experience the world as Maya felt it when she was young without losing the deep ruminations of a wise and experienced adult.
Answer:
Understood by many
Explanation:
A universal gesture would technically be understood by all of these, but the broad answer you’re looking for would be that a universal gesture (like waving to say hello to someone far away) is understood by many.
The correct answer is: I made made my own barrel but you can buy them pretty cheaply now.
The main idea: Rain barrels are easy to install and use.
This idea needs to be supported with a sentence that relates in a logical and coherent way with it's content. In other words the following sentences need to demonstrate the reasons they barrel are cheap and easy to install, examples and facts can be given.
In the sentence chosen the author says that he made his own barrel, in this way he tries to show us that anyone can do it, an expert is not needed to perform this task, therefore they are "easy to install and use". By mentioning the low price he makes an implied relation, we associate cheap things with simple things, if the barrel was a complicated thing to use they would probably be more expensive.
The other options given just give general information related to barrels but are not able to connect with the main idea.
