In Born A Crime, author Trevor Noah explains in his memoir that most Xhosa (Xhosa forms the second largest ethnic group in South

Africa) names become self-fulfilling prophecies; his mother Patricia, "Nombuyiselo," means "She Who Gives Back," and is fitting: even as a child, she would care for younger, abandoned children. So, to exempt her son from fate, she names him "Trevor, a name with no meaning whatsoever in South Africa, no precedent in my family. It's not even a Biblical name."

Answer:

This example demonstrates D. onomastics.

Explanation:

Onomastics can be defined as the science or study concerning the origin, history, forms, and uses of proper names of persons or places. The whole excerpt we read in the question is an example of onomastics. Proper names are being analyzed - their origin and meaning, and even how they can influence someone's life by becoming self-fulfilling prophecies.

In at least 150 words, analyze Hemingway’s choice of not giving the male character a name.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Although “Hills Like White Elephants” is primarily a conversation between the American man and his girlfriend, neither of the speakers truly communicates with the other, highlighting the rift between the two. Both talk, but neither listens or understands the other’s point of view. Frustrated and placating, the American man will say almost anything to convince his girlfriend to have the operation, which, although never mentioned by name, is understood to be an abortion. He tells her he loves her, for example, and that everything between them will go back to the way it used to be. The girl, meanwhile, waffles indecisively, at one point conceding that she’ll have the abortion just to shut him up. When the man still persists, she finally begs him to “please, please, please, please, please, please” stop talking, realizing the futility of their conversation. In fact, the girl’s nickname, “Jig,” subtly indicates that the two characters merely dance around each other and the issue at hand without ever saying anything meaningful. The girl’s inability to speak Spanish with the bartender, moreover, not only illustrates her dependence on the American but also the difficulty she has expressing herself to others.
