the travelers and the llamas are connected. "Knitting their cheeks" is figurative language implying that the people and llamas are analyzing the travelers' movement and displacement from the scene. Knitting refers to the close scrutiny of the travelers and the gaze weaving and intertwining their narratives.

Tiffany Suns claims that understanding people’s hidden biases can help us create a more equal society. How?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Tiffany tried to use the trolley problem to explain certain biases. Basically, the trolley problem is a scenario where a trolley is moving to hit five helpless people and only one person has seen it and can alter its direction to sacrifice one person to save the other helpless four people. Which person would be sacrificed so the other four will be safe? That's the trolley problem.

Tiffany believes there is no correct answer or way to measure who will be sacrificed to keep the remaining four safe.

She believes the trolley problem is a good way to study biases as it is something we try to hide or may not even be fully aware how they influence our decisions.

Tiffany went one step further and surveyed about 300 people by asking them what they would do in the trolley problem.

Tiffany varied identities of the woman waiting on the track. The woman was rich sometimes, wearing a suit or carrying a briefcase, some other times she wore a waitress uniform, or just very attractive, other times she was just ordinary looking, in another scenario, the woman was on a wheelchair.

From her poll results, if the woman appeared wealthy, only about 24% of her participants would sacrifice her, if she was dressed as a waitress, 59% of the people offered to sacrifice her to save the others, if she was attractive, 44% of the people would sacrifice her, 68% of the people offered to sacrifice the ordinary looking lady, 54% of the people would sacrifice the woman standing and the number rose to 74% if the woman was on a wheelchair.

Tiffany observed that society tended to value some lives as less than others and it doesn't make the society look very nice.

List the 4 steps to writing a successful narrative essay.
kenny6666 [7]
1. Pellucidity

Intricate words and syntax are an obstruction to pellucidity and should be evaded. Conceptions should be limpidly distributed between sentences and paragraphs.

Example: Albeit I have never been to the races afore, I was very exhilarated to behold them, yet withal remotely nervous, because of the type of people who go there.

Amended: I’d never been to a horse race. I was exhilarated to go, but withal a little nervous, since I wasn’t sure about the people at the track.

2. Don’t describe each and every one of your own forms of kineticism

Example: As I went in the door, I turned and visually perceived a TV. I looked around and visually perceived posters on the wall.

As I went further in I descried everyone was optically canvassing M*A*S*H.

Ameliorated: I immediately descried the posters on the wall, though everyone else’s ocular perceivers were fixated on a TV playing M*A*S*H.

3. Evade the second-person narrative

A consequential part of the narrative essay is the fact that the inditer experienced the events described.

Example: As you go in the door, you will turn and visually perceive a TV. You look around and visually perceive posters on the wall.
 
As you go further in you descry everyone is optically canvassing M*A*S*H.
Inditing in the present tense is okay, however.

4. To interest the reader, dynamic word cull is key

Evade sounding too clinical. Utilize the same slang, idiom, and turns of phrase you would utilize in verbalization. Eschew passive constructions.

Example: I am presented an array of unpleasant photos in which many casualties are shown after automobile accidents.

Ameliorated: They showed me a book stuffed with gruesome pictures of people who’d been in car wrecks.
