English

Answer:

Having “a place by the window” means standing still while watching life go by.

The word "baptized" means that Esperanza would like to have the ability to change her name since birth and not change it now, after she has grown up.

We can associate the word "baptized", in this story, the word "reborn", "resurge".

Explanation:

In "My Name" by Sandra Cisneros we learn about Esperanza's thoughts on her name. She believes that her name does not have a good cootation, a good story and does not fit well among English speakers.

She recalls that she has the same name as her grandmother, who was a very strong woman, but who was trapped in an undesirable marriage, unable to experience life's opportunities and just watching life go by and time go by. Experanza does not want to have that destination, although she has the same name as Grandma.

Experanza wants to have a better life and believes that changing her name would be a good first step, but she didn't want to change her name now, she wanted to be baptized with another name, which indicates that she wanted to be reborn and have a different life.

What is the conversation in chapter nine between scout and Atticus and what does it tell us about these two characters and what
Ivahew [28]
It's saying that Atticus is a respectable person who doesn't see race as a reason to or to not defend someone; he's not racist. It shows that racism in the south is common, and that because of that, Scout has grown up being taught to be racist. Atticus is trying to turn her away from that and get her to focus on the person's true self, not the color of their skin.

What was the primary cause of the Britons' success in battle, according to paragraph 6?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: B. Well-trained horses

Explanation:

The narrator in this excerpt spoke of how the horses helped the Britons fight effectively in battle. These horses were so well trained that even though this excerpt is based in the past, the training the horses had then is more or less the same as now which indicates a lack of a need or capacity to improve.

The horses would carry their masters into battle and go straight into danger without fear because they were trained to do so. This enabled the Britons to fight on chariots from which they could deal devastating blows to the enemy.
