?
English

Vlad1618 [11]2 years ago
3 0
The event that led him to violence was the murder of his nephew, Emilio, in Chicago.

The author places this piece of information at the beginning of the article to give perspective about (and possibly sympathy for) the situation and Torres's actions.It gives reasoning for WHY he wanted revenge, and gives humanity to a story that might just be any other article about violence in American cities.

how is the theme to the narrator's power and superiority over the natives only an illusion developed in the story
zzz [600]

Answer:

  • The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
  • The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
  • The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the story "In a Native Village" by Louis Becke.

These are the options that come with this question:

  • The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
  • The narrator bribes the authorities to ensure that he has power and preference over the villagers.
  • The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
  • The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.
  • The narrator establishes a series of declarations and rules to assert authority over the villagers.

In this story, we learn about the experiences of a European man in an island off the coast of Australia. This man arrived to the village with a couple of prized pigs. This, as well as his wealth, is meant to establish him as a leader in the community. However, contrary to expectations, the men in the island do not respect him. Moreover, they constantly trick him and take advantage of him. This shows that the narrator's power over the natives is only an illusion.

Which two sentences use coordinate adjectives?
taurus [48]

The two sentences that use coordinate adjectives are "The dark, musty cellar..." and "The dark-haired, hazel-eyed baby...", options A and C as explained below.

<h3>What are coordinate adjectives?</h3>

First, we must remember that adjectives are words that modify nouns by giving them a quality. Examples of adjectives are:

  • Beautiful
  • Smart
  • Silly
  • Hot

Coordinate adjectives are adjectives that have the same importance in the sentence and that modify the same noun. They appear in a row and are separated by a comma. Since they have the same importance, their places can be swapped without harming the meaning of the sentence.

That is the case with options A and C. There is a comma separating the adjectives "dark" and "musty" in letter A, and "dark-haired" and "hazel-eyed" in letter C. In both cases, the adjectives can be swapped without any problems.
