Read this excerpt from Holes. Stanley’s great-great-grandfather was named Elya Yelnats. He was born in Latvia. When he was fifte

en years old he fell in love with Myra Menke. (He didn’t know he was Stanley’s great-great-grandfather.) Myra Menke was fourteen. She would turn fifteen in two months, at which time her father had decided she should be married. Why does Sachar include the line “He didn’t know he was Stanley’s great-great-grandfather” in this flashback?

Answer:

It is a funny way of pointing out that Stanley and Elya are clearly not living at the same time.

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from Louis Sachar's novel "Holes". He is famous children and young adults author.

Now, regarding this excerpt, it is quite obvious that Elya is Stanley's great-great-grandfather and, of course, there was no way Elya, at the time, could have known that he's going to have a great-great-grandson, let alone some detailed information.

This makes that line rather unnecessary. But it also can suggest that its only purpose is comedic effect by stating an obvious thing.

What is the difference between before and now​
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

See explanation!

Explanation:

When using the term before, you are referring to something that has most likely happened in the past, specifically prior to another event. For example, your 15th birthday would happen before your 16th birthday because your 15th birthday would come first. Another example would be when you think about how you get ready for your day. You would most likely get dressed before you leave your house in the morning.

When using the term now, you are referring to what is happening at this exact moment in time. For example, if I was driving at the moment then I would say, "I'm driving right now." If you were in math class and someone called you and asked what you were doing, you'd say, "I'm in math class now." Hope this helps!

Reread paragraphs 2–4, then reread paragraph 5 from “The Emancipation Proclamation.”
Musya8 [376]

The answer is option C: It specifies that the freedoms granted by the Emancipation Proclamation apply only in rebel states.

The Emancipation Proclamation was the announcement made by President Lincoln through which all black slaves from the rebel states in the South were granted freedom. The fifth paragraph enumerates those rebel states together with the exceptions that are excluded from the Proclamation.
