Answer:
The two statements which describe the main themes of the story are:
A. The freedom to express oneself is valued by many, but some people discourage it and fear its consequences.
D. Creativity and creation can bring great joy.
Explanation:
"Daughter of Invention" is a short story by J.ulia Alvarez. The narrator is a girl who has been chosen to give a speech in front of her teachers and classmates. The creation of the speech brings her great joy. She fills inspired, energized by the words she has chosen and the message she is going to convey. She speaks of independence, of students surpassing their masters.
Her father, upon reading the speech, has an extreme reaction. He tears it to pieces and tells her she is being insubordinate. The narrator's father has lived through a dictatorship. He knows very well the consequences of speaking one's mind - he has lost loved ones because of that. Thus, he discourages freedom of speech, afraid of the consequences it may bring.
Note: I had to type J.ulia with a period because otherwise Brainly won't let me post this answer. For some reason, certain words are interpreted as curse words or as links.
C, amuse means to entertain and vice versa
Answer:
This poem tells how a girl is forced to follow the rules without being able to experience them for herself.
Explanation:
This poem is narrated by a little girl who claims that her parents are educating her and forcing her to follow rules, but they do not see that this is not what she wants.
<em>"propping me up
</em>
<em>but unable to read
</em>
<em>what I feel "
</em>
The girl also claims that they were not born with rules, and it is somewhat unfair for her to have to live it now.
This could be connected to the speaker and the poet since she could be describing her own childhood and her own parents.
I would say C, fall. because after that it's talking about football, not related to the first sentence.
