It isn't. The point of a biography to make the most accurate retelling of someone's life. It's not up to you to make them seem like a good person.
While an autobiography is written by one's own self, they do have the ability to make themselves seem better than they really are, since they would be really only be the person who knows of it.
Assuming the text is "Learning How to Code-Switch: Humbling, but Necessary" (2013) and you had to choose between the following claims:
<em>A. Code-switching keeps people from expressing themselves by promoting one correct style of communication.</em>
<em>B. It is important to recognize that code-switching can help a person succeed and celebrate all aspects of their identity.</em>
<em>C. The United States consists of great cultural variety and no one should be discriminated against for speaking a certain way.</em>
<em>D. Many successful people have used code-switching, but it is unfair to expect minorities to have multiple communication styles.</em>
Deggans' thesis is that it is important to recognize that code-switching can help a person succeed and celebrate all aspects of their identity (B).
<u>Code-switching</u> means alternating between languages or communication styles according to the context (cultural, professional, casual, etc.).
Deggans' testimony shows that being able to code-switch is what has helped him to integrate social groups which were different from the poor black neighborhood he came from, while maintaining his identity.
This answer is supported by such such quotes as:
- "expertly navigating another culture wasn’t a rejection of where I’d come from or a signal that I was any less authentically black;"
- "it’s a reminder to be fully who you are at all times, while making sure you’re understood well enough to be valued, respected and considered."
I don’t have prior knowledge to the store but we can predict that something incredible and potentially bad has happened due to the way the writer described how the character said his words and the part that says “as I wished it twisted my hand like a snake”
Answer:
The correct options are:
A) Jonas has homework. It isn't finished. and
D) Jonas has homework, it isn't finished.
Explanation:
In all the correct instance, the sentence is constructed such that there are still two independent clauses.
In A above, the clauses are clearly identified and so is the point of their separation.
The same is true for D.
In B, C, and E the sentences are no longer independent.
In F, the demarcation between two sentences by the semicolon is evident however the second half of the sentence is no longer dependent as it is missing the pronoun "it".
Cheers!
