The short story “The Glass of Milk" by Manuel Rojas deals with the main theme “loneliness, despair, poverty and relief”. The author refers to the sea in many instances throughout the short story. Along the passages, he makes a comparison between the sea and the city. According to the point of view of the main character, the poor boy, the city is a disgusting and odd place to him. It does not belong to him as well as it rejects him. Close to the sea, he feels relief as it is considered a peaceful place where he can just rest or wonder freely. The Sea is a different and separated side of the city because of its beauty and open place. The sound of the sea waves and the blue colour of the sea provides him a quiet and hopeful atmosphere.  

In the las passage, the allusion to the sea represents the above idea stated:

“Then he sat down on a pile of burlap sacks; fatigue, like a tingling sensation, climbed up his legs. He looked at the sea. The lights of the wharf and ships spread over the water in a reddish-gold ripple, trembling softly. He stretched out on his back, looking up at the sky for a long time. He did not feel like thinking, or singing, or talking. He just felt alive, that was all. Then he fell asleep with his face toward the sea.”

In the short story "The Glass of Milk" by Manuel Rojas, the boy sees the sea as a representation of freedom. The boy looks out to the sea often because he is free to do and travel as he please. In contrast to the sea, the writer describes the great city as "... a place of slavery:  stale, dark, without the grand sweep of the sea; among its high walls and narrow streets people lived and died bewildered by agonizing drudgery.

Beatles' drummer, Richard Starkey, was born in Liverpool, England, so he is known to the world as Ringo Starr.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

"Beatles' drummer, Richard Starkey, was born in Liverpool, England, so he is known to the world as Ringo Starr", has a clear and concrete writing error. Thus, the word "so" has no reason to be in said wording, as the fact that Richard Starkey was born in Liverpool is in no way a condition for the world to know him as Ringo Starr. In other words, the word "so" as a connector within the sentence does not follow logical parameters, as it does not deal with a cause-consequence situation.

                                                                          Umungasi,

                                                                          Aba.

                                                                          November 17, 2020.

Dear Chichi,

       I am so pleased to hear that you recently gained admission into Rockview High School. This achievement bears witness to the fact that you have been a hardworking student. Rockview High School is known to have the strictest selection process for admission of new students into highschool. I congratulate you once more on this achievement!

     My years as a student at Rockview High School were very rewarding. I can boldly say that Rockview High school teachers laid the foundation upon which I am now building my life. Rockview is a citadel of moral and academic formation where young teenagers are prepared to undertake diverse life endeavors.

    Chichi, every achievement in life comes with responsibilities. You have to take responsibility while in school. Remember that none of us will be there to guide you into the right choices but you have your conscience as your guide. Do not associate with people who do not uphold the system of values that you have learnt at home. Do not lower your moral standard in order to accommodate friends who think that mischief making is fun. Remember to hold up your head high even when you are left alone with your convictions. Always bear in mind the injunction of the Holy Bible; "Do not follow a multitude to do evil". Let this be your watchword.

     Lastly, remember that good grades have never fallen on anybody like ripe cherries from a tree. You have to work hard and stay focused. Remember that your final GPA is very important when you begin to seek admission into college after high school.

     A word is enough for the wise. Remember to stay safe always and obey all corona virus safety protocols while in school.

                                                                                              Yours Sincerely,

                                                                                              Jude

svp [43]

Answer:

Small children often understand nature, animals, and feelings better than an adult who may be used to receiving criticism and back talk. A sixth grader is more sensitive to these words. They can better help each other, rather than seeking an adult for help.
