Read the excerpt from "Lather and Nothing Else" He went on talking. He evidently took it for granted that I was on the side of t

he existing regime. "The people must have gotten a scare with what happened the other day,” he said. "Yes,” I replied, as I finished tying the knot against his nape, which smelt of sweat. "Good show, wasn’t it?” "Very good,” I answered, turning my attention now to the brush. The man closed his eyes wearily and awaited the cool caress of the lather. How does this conversation build suspense in the story? The “small talk” shows that the captain is foolish and the barber is afraid. The “small talk” slows the pace, building interest at the beginning of the story. The discussion helps readers feel sympathetic toward Captain Torres. The discussion helps readers understand the barber’s final decision.

Felsenfeld describes himself as a rebel. Which of the following is NOT included in his definition of a rebel?
ser-zykov [4K]

In the book titled Rebel Music by Daniel Felsenfeld. Felsenfeld described himself as a rebel in some ways. However, out of the options available his definition of a rebel is not "Rebels are raised in families of rebels."

This is because in the book he let the readers understand that he is a rebel in terms of music. He explained further that his act of rebellion is based on the fact that he loves or has a passion for a different kind of music than the usual or contemporary ones. He prefers classical music. And he described himself as the lone Bolshevik in his army. Going by his definition, it means that his definition of a rebel can mean any of the three options above which are:

Rebels break molds (the fact that he has a passion for classical music makes him unconventional in his time)

Rebels are anti-establishment (loving classical music against contemporary music like hip hop)

Rebels are weird by their chosen self-expression (the fact he doesn't love contemporary music makes him weird among other people of his age).

Hence, in this case, the correct answer to the question is option D "Rebels are raised in families of rebels."
